1 I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry.

Pacientemente esperé al SEÑOR, y se inclinó a mí, y oyó mi clamor.

2 H e drew me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings.

Y me hizo sacar del pozo de la desesperación, del lodo cenagoso; y puso mis pies sobre peña, y enderezó mis pasos.

3 A nd 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.

Y puso en mi boca canción nueva, alabanza a nuestro Dios. Verán esto muchos, y temerán, y esperarán en el SEÑOR.

4 B lessed (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.

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 M any, 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.

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 S acrifice and offering You do not desire, nor have You delight in them; You have given me the capacity to hear and obey burnt offerings and sin offerings You do not require.

¶ Sacrificio y presente no te agrada; me has labrado oídos; holocausto y expiación no has demandado.

7 T hen said I, Behold, I come; in the volume of the book it is written of me;

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

8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; yes, Your law is within my heart.

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

9 I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I have not restrained my lips, as You know, O Lord.

He anunciado justicia en grande congregación; he aquí, no detuve mis labios, SEÑOR, tú lo sabes.

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.

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 W ithhold not Your tender mercy from me, O Lord; let Your loving-kindness and Your truth continually preserve me!

¶ Tú, SEÑOR, no detengas de mí tus misericordias; tu misericordia y tu verdad me guarden siempre.

12 F or 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.

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 B e pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me!

Quieras, oh SEÑOR, librarme; SEÑOR, apresúrate a socorrerme.

14 L et 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!

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

15 L et them be desolate by reason of their shame who say to me, Aha, aha!

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

16 L et 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!

Gócense y alégrense en ti todos los que te buscan; y digan siempre los que aman tu salvación: el SEÑOR sea ensalzado.

17 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!

Cuando yo estoy pobre y menesteroso, el SEÑOR pensará en mí. Mi ayuda y mi libertador eres tú; Dios mío, no te tardes.
