Salmos 40
1 Esperando esperé a Jehová, e inclinóse a mí, y oyó mi clamor.
[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] I waited patiently for YHWH, and he turned to me, and heard my cry.
2 E hízome sacar de un aljibe sonoro, de un lodo cenagoso; y puso mis pies sobre peña, 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 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 YHWH.
4 Bienaventurado el varón, que puso a Jehová por su confianza; y no miró a los soberbios, ni a los que declinan a la mentira.
Blessed is the man who makes YHWH his trust, and doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 Aumentado has tú, o! Jehová Dios mío, tus maravillas; y tus pensamientos para con nosotros, no te los podremos contar: si yo los anunciare, y hablare, no pueden ser enarrados.
Many, YHWH, 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: orejas me has labrado: 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 Para hacer tu voluntad, Dios mío, ha me agradado; y tu ley está dentro de mis entrañas.
to do your will, O God, I desired. And your Law is within my heart."
9 Yo anuncié justicia en grande congregación: he aquí, no detuve mis labios, Jehová tú lo sabes.
I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Look, I will not seal my lips, YHWH, you know.
10 No encubrí tu justicia en medio de mi corazón: tu verdad y tu salud dije: no negué tu misericordia y tu verdad en grande congregación.
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, Jehová, no detengas de mí tus misericordias: tu misericordia y tu verdad me guarden siempre.
Do not withhold your tender mercies from me, YHWH. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
12 Porque me han cercado males hasta no haber cuento: me han comprendido mis maldades, y no puedo ver: hánse aumentado más que los cabellos de mi cabeza, y mi corazón me falta.
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, Jehová, librarme: Jehová apresúrate para ayudarme.
Be pleased, YHWH, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, YHWH.
14 Sean avergonzados y confusos a una los que buscan mi vida para cortarla: vuelvan atrás y avergüéncense los que quieren mi mal.
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: Hala, hala.
Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha. Aha."
16 Regocíjense, y alégrense en ti todos los que te buscan; y digan siempre: Sea ensalzado Jehová, los que aman tu salud.
Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let YHWH be exalted."
17 Y yo afligido y necesitado; y Jehová pensará de mí: mi ayudador y mi libertador eres tú; Dios mío, no te tardes.
But I am poor and needy. May YHWH think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Do not delay, my God.
