Salmos 40
1 Al Vencedor: Salmo de David. Pacientemente esperé al SEÑOR, y se inclinó a mí, y oyó mi clamor.
[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] I waited patiently for the LORD, and he turned to me, and heard my cry.
2 Y me hizo sacar del pozo de la desesperación, del lodo cenagoso; y puso mis pies sobre peña, y enderezó mis pasos.
He also brought me up out of a pit of tumult, out of the miry clay; and he set my feet on a rock, making my steps secure.
3 Y puso en mi boca canción nueva, alabanza a nuestro Dios. Verán esto muchos, y temerán, y esperarán en el SEÑOR.
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 al SEÑOR por su confianza, y no miró a los soberbios, ni a los que declinan a la mentira.
Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, and doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 Aumentado has tú, oh SEÑOR Dios mío, tus maravillas; y tus pensamientos para con nosotros, no te los podremos contar, anunciar, ni hablar; no pueden ser narrados.
Many, LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can't be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrificio y presente no te agrada; me has labrado oídos; holocausto y expiación no has demandado.
Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me. Whole burnt offering and sin offering you did not require.
7 Entonces dije: He aquí, vengo; en el envoltorio del libro está escrito de mí:
Then I said, "Look, I have come. It is written about me in the scroll of a book;
8 El hacer tu voluntad, Dios mío, me ha agradado; y tu ley está en medio de mis entrañas.
to do your will, O God, I desired. And your Law is within my heart."
9 He anunciado justicia en grande congregación; he aquí, no detuve mis labios, SEÑOR, tú lo sabes.
I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Look, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know.
10 No encubrí tu justicia en medio de mi corazón; tu verdad y tu salud he declarado; no negué tu misericordia y tu verdad en grande ayuntamiento.
I have not hidden 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 assembly.
11 Tú, SEÑOR, no detengas de mí tus misericordias; tu misericordia y tu verdad me guarden siempre.
Do not withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
12 Porque me han cercado males hasta no haber cuanto; me han asido mis maldades, y no puedo ver; se han aumentado más que los cabellos de mi cabeza, y mi corazón me falla.
For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.
13 Quieras, oh SEÑOR, librarme; SEÑOR, apresúrate a socorrerme.
Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, LORD.
14 Sean avergonzados y confusos a una los que buscan mi vida para cortarla; vuelvan atrás y avergüéncense los que mi mal desean.
Let them be put to shame and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.
15 Sean asolados en pago de su afrenta los que me dicen: ¡Ea, ea!
Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha. Aha."
16 Gócense y alégrense en ti todos los que te buscan; y digan siempre los que aman tu salud: el SEÑOR sea ensalzado.
Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let the LORD be exalted."
17 Cuando yo estoy pobre y menesteroso, el SEÑOR pensará en mí. Mi ayuda y mi libertador eres tú; Dios mío, no te tardes.
But I am poor and needy. May the LORD think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Do not delay, my God.
