Salmos 40

1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. RESIGNADAMENTE esperé á Jehová, é inclinóse á mí, y oyó mi clamor.

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. I have diligently expected YHWH, And He inclines to me, and hears my cry,

2 E hízome sacar de un lago de miseria, del lodo cenagoso; y puso mis pies sobre peña, y enderezó mis pasos.

And He causes me to come up From a pit of desolation—from mire of mud, And He raises up my feet on a rock, He is establishing my steps.

3 Puso luego en mi boca canción nueva, alabanza á nuestro Dios. Verán esto muchos, y temerán, y esperarán en Jehová.

And He puts a new song in my mouth, “Praise to our God.” Many see and fear, and trust in YHWH.

4 Bienaventurado el hombre que puso á Jehová por su confianza, y no mira á los soberbios, ni á los que declinan á la mentira.

O the blessedness of the man Who has made YHWH his trust, And has not turned to the proud, And those turning aside to lies.

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

You have done much, my God YHWH; Your wonders and Your thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange to You, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.

6 Sacrificio y presente no te agrada; has abierto mis oídos; holocausto y expiación no has demandado.

Sacrifice and present You have not desired, But a body You have prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering You have not asked.

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

Then I said, “Behold, I have come, In the roll of the scroll it is written of me,

8 El hacer tu voluntad, Dios mío, hame agradado; y tu ley está en medio de mis entrañas.

I have delighted to do Your pleasure, my God, And Your law [is] within my heart.”

9 Anunciado he justicia en grande congregación: he aquí no detuve mis labios, Jehová, tú [lo] sabes.

I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, Behold, I do not restrain my lips, O YHWH, You have known.

10 No encubrí tu justicia dentro de mi corazón: tu verdad y tu salvación he dicho: no oculté tu misericordia y tu verdad en grande concurso.

I have not concealed Your righteousness In the midst of my heart, I have told of Your faithfulness and Your salvation, I have not hidden Your kindness and Your truth, To the great assembly.

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

You, O YHWH, do not restrain Your mercies from me, Your kindness and Your truth continually keep me.

12 Porque me han cercado males hasta no [haber] cuento: hanme comprendido mis maldades, y no puedo levantar la vista: hanse aumentado más que los cabellos de mi cabeza, y mi corazón me falta.

For innumerable evils have surrounded me, My iniquities have overtaken me, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart has forsaken me.

13 Quieras, oh Jehová, librarme; Jehová, apresúrate á socorrerme.

Be pleased, O YHWH, to deliver me, O YHWH, make haste for my help.

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

They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.

15 Sean asolados en pago de su afrenta los que me dicen: ¡Ea, ea!

They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, “Aha, aha.”

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

All seeking You rejoice and are glad in You, Those loving Your salvation continually say, “YHWH is magnified.”

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

And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord devises for me. You [are] my help and my deliverer, O my God, do not linger.
