Salmos 40
1 Esperando esperé a Jehová, e inclinóse a mí, y oyó mi clamor.
I waited patiently for the LORD; and 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 brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet on a rock, and established my goings.
3 Y puso en mi boca canción nueva, alabanza a nuestro Dios. Verán muchos, y temerán, y esperarán en Jehová.
And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall 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 that man that makes the LORD his trust, and respects not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
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 your wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order to you: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrificio y presente no te agrada: orejas me has labrado: Holocausto y expiación no has demandado.
Sacrifice and offering you did not desire; my ears have you opened: burnt offering and sin offering have you not required.
7 Entonces dije: He aquí, vengo; en el envoltorio del libro está escrito de mí.
Then said I, See, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
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: yes, your law is within my heart.
9 Yo anuncié justicia en grande congregación: he aquí, no detuve mis labios, Jehová tú lo sabes.
I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: see, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, you 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 hid your righteousness within my heart; I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation: I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great congregation.
11 Tú, Jehová, no detengas de mí tus misericordias: tu misericordia y tu verdad me guarden siempre.
Withhold not you your tender mercies from me, O LORD: let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve 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 innumerable evils have compassed me about: my iniquities have taken hold on me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart fails me.
13 Quieras, Jehová, librarme: Jehová apresúrate para ayudarme.
Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste 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.
Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
15 Sean asolados en pago de su afrenta, los que me dicen: Hala, hala.
Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say to me, Aha, aha.
16 Regocíjense, y alégrense en ti todos los que te buscan; y digan siempre: Sea ensalzado Jehová, los que aman tu salud.
Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: let such as love your salvation say continually, 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; yet the Lord thinks on me: you are my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
