Salmos 40
1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. RESIGNADAMENTE esperé á Jehová, é inclinóse á mí, y oyó mi clamor.
I waited patiently for Jehovah, and he inclined to me, and heard my cry.
2 E hízome sacar de un lago de miseria, del lodo cenagoso; y puso mis pies sobre peña, y enderezó mis pasos.
He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 Puso luego en mi boca canción nueva, alabanza á nuestro Dios. Verán esto 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 Jehovah.
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.
Blessed is the man who makes Jehovah his trust, and respects not the proud, nor such as turn 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.
Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou have done, and thy thoughts which are toward us. They cannot be set in order to thee. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrificio y presente no te agrada; has abierto mis oídos; holocausto y expiación no has demandado.
Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire, but a body thou have prepared for me. Whole burnt offering and sacrifice for sin thou did not require.
7 Entonces dije: He aquí, vengo; en el envoltorio del libro está escrito de mí:
Then I said, Lo, I have come. In the volume of a book it is written of me.
8 El hacer tu voluntad, Dios mío, hame agradado; y tu ley está en medio de mis entrañas.
I delight to do thy will, O my God. Yea, thy 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 glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly. Lo, I will not refrain my lips. O Jehovah, thou know.
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 hid thy righteousness within my heart. I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy loving kindness and thy truth from the great assembly.
11 Tú, Jehová, no apartes de mí tus misericordias: tu misericordia y tu verdad me guarden siempre.
Withhold thou not thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah. Let thy loving kindness and thy truth continually preserve 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 encompassed me around. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed me.
13 Quieras, oh Jehová, librarme; Jehová, apresúrate á socorrerme.
Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me. Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.
14 Sean avergonzados y confusos á 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 because of their shame who say 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.
Let all those who seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee. Let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified.
17 Aunque afligido yo y necesitado, Jehová pensará de mí: mi ayuda y mi libertador eres tú; Dios mío, no te tardes.
But I am poor and needy, yet the Lord thinks upon me. Thou are my help and my deliverer. Make no delay, O my God.
