Psalms 40
1 I waited patiently for Yahweh [to help me], and he listened to me [DOU] when I called out to him.
Para el director del coro. Un salmo de David. Esperé pacientemente al Señor, y se volvió hacia mí y escuchó mi clamor.
2 [When I had many troubles, it was as though] I was in a deep pit. But he lifted me up out of the mud and slime of that pit; he set my feet on a [solid] rock, and enabled me to walk (safely/without falling).
Me sacó del pozo de la destrucción, del mugre y el lodo. Me colocó en una roca, y me dio un lugar seguro en el que permanecer.
3 He has given me a new song to sing, a song to praise him who is our God. Many people will find out [what he has done for me], and they will revere and trust him.
Me dio una nueva canción para cantar, una canción de alabanza al Señor. Muchas personas verán y se asombrarán, y depositarán su confianza en él.
4 Yahweh is pleased with those who trust him, those who do not trust in idols or join with those who worship those false gods.
Felices son los que confían en el Señor, quienes no piden la ayuda de los arrogantes ni adoran ídolos.
5 O Yahweh, my God, you have done many wonderful things! No one can list all the wonderful things that you have planned for us. If I tried to tell [others] about all those wonderful things, I would not be able to, because there would be too many for me to mention.
Señor y Dios mío, has hecho tantas cosas maravillosas por nosotros, y nos tienes tantos planes preparados. Nadie se compara contigo. Quiero decirles a todos las cosas que has hecho, las bendiciones son tantas que ni las puedo contar.
6 Various kinds of sacrifices and other offerings are not the [only] things that delight you. You have enabled me to understand that very well [IDM]. [Animals] burned [on the altar] and [other] offerings are not all that you require [for sins to be forgiven].
No quieres sacrificios ni ofrendas. Me has ayudado a entenderque Tú no estás pidiendo ofrendas quemadas u ofrendas de pecado.
7 So I said [to you], “Yahweh, here I am, [to do] the things that have been written in the scroll [that contains your laws], things that you want me [to do].”
Entonces dije, “¡Miren! ¡Aquí estoy! He venido a hacer lo que está escrito en los rollos del libro.
8 O my God, I delight to do what you desire; I [keep] your laws within my inner being.
Dios mío, estoy feliz de hacer tu voluntad, tu ley guía mis pensamientos”.
9 Whenever all [your people] are gathered, I have told them about how you save us. Yahweh, you know that I have not been afraid to tell that to them.
He anunciado las buenas nuevas a toda la congregación. Como sabes, Señor, no me quedo quieto.
10 And I have not kept to myself the news that you always act justly/fairly; when many of your people have gathered together [to worship you in the temple], I have told them that you are faithful to us and save us. I have (not concealed/openly told people) that you faithfully love us and act loyally toward us.
No he mantenido la verdad de tu bondad escondida en mi interior, he hablado de tu integridad y de tu salvación. No le he ocultado tu fidelidad ni tu amor inefable a la congregación.
11 Yahweh, do not stop being merciful to me. Because you faithfully love [me] [PRS] and are loyal [to me], always protect me.
Señor, no retires de mí tu misericordia. Qué tu amor y tu verdad siempre sean mi protección.
12 I have many troubles; [so many that] I cannot count them. My sins are like a flood that has covered me [PRS, MET]; [they are so many that] I cannot find my way. The sins that I have committed are more than the hairs on my head. I am very discouraged.
Porque estoy pasando por muchos problemas, ¡Son tantos que no puedo contarlos! Mis pecados se han acumulado formando una gran pila, no puedo ni siquiera ver por encima de ellos. ¡Son más que el número de cabellos en mi cabeza! ¡Siento que me voy a rendir!
13 O Yahweh, please save me! Come quickly to help me!
¡Señor, Sálvame! ¡Apresúrate, ven a mi ayuda!
14 Humble those who are happy about my troubles, and cause them to be disgraced and ashamed. Chase away those who are trying to get rid of me.
Derrota y humilla a los que están intentando matarme; lleva desgracia a los que están tratando de herirme.
15 I hope/desire that those who make fun of me will be dismayed when you defeat them.
Que al momento de la derrota se sorprendan aquellos que intentaban burlarse de mí.
16 But I hope that all those who go to [worship] you will be very joyful [DOU]. I want those who love you because you saved them to shout repeatedly, “Yahweh is great!”
Pero que todos los que vengan a ti se alegren y sean felices. Que todos los que te amen y aman tu salvación digan, “¡El Señor es grande!”
17 As for me, I am poor and needy [DOU]; but [I know that] Yahweh has not forgotten me. O my God, you are the one who saves and helps me, so please come quickly [and help me!]
Mientras tanto yo, soy un pobre y estoy necesitado. Que el Señor piense en mí. ¡Ayúdame! ¡Sálvame! ¡No esperas más, Dios mío!
