Psalms 40

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. I waited patiently for the LORD. He turned to me, and heard my cry.

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

2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.

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

3 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.

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

4 Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, and does not respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.

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

5 Many, LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They cannot be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

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.

6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire. You have opened my ears. You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.

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

7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the book in the scroll.

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

8 I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”

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

9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know.

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

10 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.

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.

11 Do not withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.

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

12 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.

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.

13 Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, LORD.

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

14 Let them be disappointed 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.

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

15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, “Aha! Aha!”

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

16 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!”

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

17 But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Do not delay, my God.

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