Salmos 40
Biblia del Jubileo
Al Vencedor: Salmo de David.
1 Pacientemente esperé al SEÑOR, y se inclinó a mí, y oyó mi clamor.
2 Y me hizo sacar del pozo de la desesperación, del lodo cenagoso; y puso mis pies sobre peña, y enderezó mis pasos.
3 Y puso en mi boca canción nueva, alabanza a nuestro Dios. Verán esto muchos, y temerán, y esperarán en el SEÑOR.
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.
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.
6 ¶ Sacrificio y presente no te agrada; me has labrado oídos; holocausto y expiación no has demandado.
7 Entonces dije: He aquí, vengo; en el envoltorio del libro está escrito de mí:
8 El hacer tu voluntad, Dios mío, me ha agradado; y tu ley está en medio de mis entrañas.
9 He anunciado justicia en grande congregación; he aquí, no detuve mis labios, SEÑOR, tú lo sabes.
10 No encubrí tu justicia en medio de mi corazón; tu verdad y tu salvación he declarado; no negué tu misericordia y tu verdad en grande ayuntamiento.
11 ¶ Tú, SEÑOR, no detengas de mí tus misericordias; tu misericordia y tu verdad me guarden siempre.
12 Porque me han cercado males hasta no haber cuanto; me han asido mis iniquidades, y no puedo ver; se han aumentado más que los cabellos de mi cabeza, y mi corazón me falla.
13 Quieras, oh SEÑOR, librarme; SEÑOR, apresúrate a socorrerme.
14 Sean avergonzados y confusos a una los que buscan mi vida para cortarla; vuelvan atrás y avergüéncense los que mi mal desean.
15 Sean asolados en pago de su afrenta los que me dicen: ¡Ea, ea!
16 Gócense y alégrense en ti todos los que te buscan; y digan siempre los que aman tu salvación: el SEÑOR sea ensalzado.
17 Cuando yo estoy pobre y menesteroso, el SEÑOR pensará en mí. Mi ayuda y mi libertador eres tú; Dios mío, no te tardes.
Psalm 40
New Century Version
Praise and Prayer for Help
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
40 I waited patiently for the Lord.
He turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the pit of destruction,
out of the sticky mud.
He stood me on a rock
and made my feet steady.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many people will see this and worship him.
Then they will trust the Lord.
4 Happy is the person
who trusts the Lord,
who doesn’t turn to those who are proud
or to those who worship false gods.
5 Lord my God, you have done many miracles.
Your plans for us are many.
If I tried to tell them all,
there would be too many to count.
6 You do not want sacrifices and offerings.
But you have made a hole in my ear
to show that my body and life are yours.
You do not ask for burnt offerings
and sacrifices to take away sins.
7 Then I said, “Look, I have come.
It is written about me in the book.
8 My God, I want to do what you want.
Your teachings are in my heart.”
9 I will tell about your goodness in the great meeting of your people.
Lord, you know my lips are not silent.
10 I do not hide your goodness in my heart;
I speak about your loyalty and salvation.
I do not hide your love and truth
from the people in the great meeting.
11 Lord, do not hold back your mercy from me;
let your love and truth always protect me.
12 Troubles have surrounded me;
there are too many to count.
My sins have caught me
so that I cannot see a way to escape.
I have more sins than hairs on my head,
and I have lost my courage.
13 Please, Lord, save me.
Hurry, Lord, to help me.
14 People are trying to kill me.
Shame them and disgrace them.
People want to hurt me.
Let them run away in disgrace.
15 People are making fun of me.
Let them be shamed into silence.
16 But let those who follow you
be happy and glad.
They love you for saving them.
May they always say, “Praise the Lord!”
17 Lord, because I am poor and helpless,
please remember me.
You are my helper and savior.
My God, do not wait.
