1 I did not give up waiting for the Lord. And He turned to me and heard my cry.

Esperé pacientemente al Señor, Y El se inclinó a mí y oyó mi clamor.

2 H e brought me up out of the hole of danger, out of the mud and clay. He set my feet on a rock, making my feet sure.

Me sacó del hoyo de la destrucción, del lodo cenagoso; Asentó mis pies sobre una roca y afirmó mis pasos.

3 H e put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and will put their trust in the Lord.

Puso en mi boca un cántico nuevo, un canto de alabanza a nuestro Dios. Muchos verán esto, y temerán Y confiarán en el Señor.

4 H ow happy is the man who has made the Lord his trust, and has not turned to the proud or to the followers of lies.

Cuán bienaventurado es el hombre que ha puesto en el Señor su confianza, Y no se ha vuelto a los soberbios ni a los que caen en falsedad.

5 O Lord my God, many are the great works You have done, and Your thoughts toward us. No one can compare with You! If I were to speak and tell of them, there would be too many to number.

Muchas son, Señor, Dios mío, las maravillas que Tú has hecho, Y muchos Tus designios para con nosotros; Nadie hay que se compare contigo; Si los anunciara, y hablara de ellos, No podrían ser enumerados.

6 Y ou have not wanted gifts given on the altar in worship. You have opened my ears. You have not wanted burnt gifts or gifts to cover sins.

Sacrificio y ofrenda de cereal no has deseado; Me has abierto los oídos; Holocausto y ofrenda por el pecado no has pedido.

7 T hen I said, “Look, I have come. It is written about me in the book.

Entonces dije: “Aquí estoy; En el rollo del libro está escrito de mí;

8 I am happy to do Your will, O my God. Your Law is within my heart.”

Me deleito en hacer Tu voluntad, Dios mío; Tu ley está dentro de mi corazón.”

9 I have told the good news about what is right and good in the big meeting with many people. You know I will not close my lips, O Lord.

He proclamado buenas nuevas de justicia en la gran congregación; No refrenaré mis labios, Oh Señor, Tú lo sabes.

10 I have not hidden what is right and good with You in my heart. I have spoken about how faithful You are and about Your saving power. I have not hidden Your loving-kindness and Your truth from the big meeting.

No he escondido Tu justicia dentro de mi corazón; He proclamado Tu fidelidad y Tu salvación; No he ocultado a la gran congregación Tu misericordia y Tu fidelidad.

11 O Lord, You will not keep Your loving-pity from me. Your loving-kindness and Your truth will always keep me safe.

Tú, oh Señor, no retengas Tu compasión de mí; Tu misericordia y Tu fidelidad me guarden continuamente,

12 T oo many troubles gather around me. My sins have taken such a hold on me that I am not able to see. There are more of them than there are hairs on my head. And the strength of my heart has left me.

Porque me rodean males sin número; Mis iniquidades me han alcanzado, y no puedo ver; Son más numerosas que los cabellos de mi cabeza, Y el corazón me falla.

13 B e pleased to save me, O Lord. Hurry, O Lord, to help me.

Ten a bien, oh Señor, libertarme; Apresúrate, Señor, a socorrerme.

14 L et all who want to destroy my life be ashamed and troubled. Let those who want to hurt me be turned away without honor.

Sean avergonzados y humillados a una Los que buscan mi vida para destruirla; Sean vueltos atrás y cubiertos de ignominia Los que se complacen en mi mal.

15 L et those who say to me, “O! O!” be filled with fear because of their shame.

Queden atónitos a causa de su vergüenza Los que me dicen: “¡Ajá, ajá!”

16 B ut let all who look for You have joy and be glad in You. Let those who love Your saving power always say, “The Lord be honored!”

Regocíjense y alégrense en Ti todos los que Te buscan; Que los que aman Tu salvación digan continuamente: “¡Engrandecido sea el Señor!”

17 B ecause I suffer and am in need, let the Lord think of me. You are my help and the One Who sets me free. O my God, do not wait.

Por cuanto yo estoy afligido y necesitado, El Señor me tiene en cuenta. Tú eres mi ayuda y mi libertador; Dios mío, no Te tardes.
