Salmos 40

1 Esperando esperé a Jehová, e inclinóse a mí, y oyó mi clamor.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry.

2 E hízome sacar de un aljibe sonoro, de un lodo cenagoso; y puso mis pies sobre peña, enderezó mis pasos.

He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.

3 Y puso en mi boca canción nueva, alabanza a nuestro Dios. Verán muchos, y temerán, y esperarán en Jehová.

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

4 Bienaventurado el varón, que puso a Jehová por su confianza; y no miró a los soberbios, ni a los que declinan a la mentira.

Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.

5 Aumentado has tú, o! Jehová Dios mío, tus maravillas; y tus pensamientos para con nosotros, no te los podremos contar: si yo los anunciare, y hablare, no pueden ser enarrados.

Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us— none can compare to You— if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.

6 Sacrificio y presente no te agrada: orejas me has labrado: Holocausto y expiación no has demandado.

Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.

7 Entonces dije: He aquí, vengo; en el envoltorio del libro está escrito de mí.

Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll:

8 Para hacer tu voluntad, Dios mío, ha me agradado; y tu ley está dentro de mis entrañas.

I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”

9 Yo anuncié justicia en grande congregación: he aquí, no detuve mis labios, Jehová tú lo sabes.

I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.

10 No encubrí tu justicia en medio de mi corazón: tu verdad y tu salud dije: no negué tu misericordia y tu verdad en grande congregación.

I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.

11 Tú, Jehová, no detengas de mí tus misericordias: tu misericordia y tu verdad me guarden siempre.

O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.

12 Porque me han cercado males hasta no haber cuento: me han comprendido mis maldades, y no puedo ver: hánse aumentado más que los cabellos de mi cabeza, y mi corazón me falta.

For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.

13 Quieras, Jehová, librarme: Jehová apresúrate para ayudarme.

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; hurry, O LORD, to help me.

14 Sean avergonzados y confusos a una los que buscan mi vida para cortarla: vuelvan atrás y avergüéncense los que quieren mi mal.

May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

15 Sean asolados en pago de su afrenta, los que me dicen: Hala, hala.

May those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” be appalled at their own shame.

16 Regocíjense, y alégrense en ti todos los que te buscan; y digan siempre: Sea ensalzado Jehová, los que aman tu salud.

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “The LORD be magnified!”

17 Y yo afligido y necesitado; y Jehová pensará de mí: mi ayudador y mi libertador eres tú; Dios mío, no te tardes.

But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.
