Salmos 40

Salmo 40
Dios sustenta a su siervo
Para el director del coro. Salmo de David.
40 Esperé pacientemente al Señor(A),
Y Él se inclinó a mí y oyó mi clamor(B).
2 Me sacó del hoyo de la destrucción(C), del lodo cenagoso;
Asentó mis pies sobre una roca(D) y afirmó mis pasos(E).
3 Puso en mi boca un cántico nuevo(F), un canto de alabanza a nuestro Dios.
Muchos verán esto, y temerán(G)
Y confiarán en el Señor.
4 ¶Cuán bienaventurado es el hombre que ha puesto en el Señor su confianza(H),
Y no se ha vuelto a los soberbios(I) ni a los que caen en falsedad(J).
5 Muchas son, Señor, Dios mío, las maravillas que Tú has hecho(K),
Y muchos Tus designios para con nosotros(L);
Nadie hay que se compare contigo;
Si los anunciara, y hablara de ellos,
No podrían ser enumerados(M).
6 ¶Sacrificio y ofrenda de cereal no has deseado;
Me has abierto los oídos;
Holocausto y ofrenda por el pecado no has pedido(N).
7 Entonces dije: «Mira, aquí estoy;
En el rollo del libro está escrito de mí;
8 Me deleito en hacer Tu voluntad, Dios mío(O);
Tu ley está dentro de mi corazón(P)».
9 ¶He proclamado buenas nuevas de justicia en la gran congregación(Q);
No refrenaré mis labios(R),
Oh Señor, Tú lo sabes(S).
10 No he escondido Tu justicia dentro de mi corazón(T);
He proclamado Tu fidelidad y Tu salvación(U);
No he ocultado a la gran congregación Tu misericordia y Tu fidelidad.
11 ¶Tú, oh Señor, no retengas Tu compasión de mí;
Tu misericordia y Tu fidelidad me guarden continuamente(V),
12 Porque me rodean males sin número(W);
Mis iniquidades me han alcanzado(X), y no puedo ver;
Son más numerosas que los cabellos de mi cabeza(Y),
Y el corazón me falla(Z).
13 ¶(AA)Ten a bien, oh Señor, libertarme;
Apresúrate, Señor, a socorrerme(AB).
14 Sean avergonzados y humillados a una(AC)
Los que buscan mi vida para destruirla(AD);
Sean vueltos atrás y cubiertos de ignominia
Los que se complacen en mi mal.
15 Queden atónitos a causa de su vergüenza(AE)
Los que me dicen: «¡Ajá, ajá(AF)!».
16 Regocíjense y alégrense en Ti todos los que te buscan;
Que los que aman Tu salvación digan continuamente(AG):
«¡Engrandecido sea el Señor!».
17 Por cuanto yo estoy afligido y necesitado(AH),
El Señor me tiene en cuenta(AI).
Tú eres mi ayuda y mi libertador;
Dios mío, no te tardes.
Psalm 40
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
Psalm 40
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry.
2 He drew me up out of a horrible pit [a pit of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings.
3 And He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many shall see and fear (revere and worship) and put their trust and confident reliance in the Lord.(A)
4 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who makes the Lord his refuge and trust, and turns not to the proud or to followers of false gods.
5 Many, O Lord my God, are the wonderful works which You have done, and Your thoughts toward us; no one can compare with You! If I should declare and speak of them, they are too many to be numbered.
6 Sacrifice and offering You do not desire, nor have You delight in them; You have given me the capacity to hear and obey [Your law, a more valuable service than] burnt offerings and sin offerings [which] You do not require.
7 Then said I, Behold, I come; in the volume of the book it is written of me;
8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; yes, Your law is within my heart.(B)
9 I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly [tidings of uprightness and right standing with God]. Behold, I have not restrained my lips, as You know, O Lord.
10 I have not concealed Your righteousness within my heart; I have proclaimed Your faithfulness and Your salvation. I have not hid away Your steadfast love and Your truth from the great assembly.(C)
11 Withhold not Your tender mercy from me, O Lord; let Your loving-kindness and Your truth continually preserve me!
12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about; my iniquities have taken such hold on me that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed me and forsaken me.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me!
14 Let them be put to shame and confounded together who seek and require my life to destroy it; let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor who wish me evil and delight in my hurt!
15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame who say to me, Aha, aha!
16 Let all those that seek and require You rejoice and be glad in You; let such as love Your salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified!
17 [As for me] I am poor and needy, yet the Lord takes thought and plans for me. You are my Help and my Deliverer. O my God, do not tarry!(D)
Psalm 40
King James Version
40 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.
10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me.
14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.
17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
