1 A l Músico principal: Salmo de David. RESIGNADAMENTE esperé á Jehová, E inclinóse á mí, y oyó mi clamor.

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

2 E hízome sacar de un lago de miseria, del lodo cenagoso; Y puso mis pies sobre peña, y enderezó mis pasos.

He 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.

3 P uso luego en mi boca canción nueva, alabanza á nuestro Dios. Verán esto muchos, y temerán, Y esperarán en Jehová.

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.

4 B ienaventurado el hombre que puso á Jehová por su confianza, Y no mira á los soberbios, ni á los que declinan á la mentira.

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 A umentado has tú, oh Jehová Dios mío, tus maravillas; Y tus pensamientos para con nosotros, No te los podremos contar: Si yo anunciare y hablare de ellos, No pueden ser enarrados.

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 S acrificio y presente no te agrada; Has abierto mis oídos; Holocausto y expiación no has demandado.

Sacrifice 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.

7 E ntonces dije: He aquí, vengo; En el envoltorio del libro está escrito de mí:

Then said I, Behold, I come; in the volume of the book it is written of me;

8 E l hacer tu voluntad, Dios mío, hame agradado; Y tu ley está en medio de mis entrañas.

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

9 A nunciado he justicia en grande congregación: He aquí no detuve mis labios, Jehová, tú lo sabes.

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

10 N o encubrí tu justicia dentro de mi corazón: Tu verdad y tu salvación he dicho: No oculté tu misericordia y tu verdad en grande concurso.

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.

11 T ú, Jehová, no apartes de mí tus misericordias: Tu misericordia y tu verdad me guarden siempre.

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

12 P orque me han cercado males hasta no haber cuento: Hanme comprendido mis maldades, y no puedo levantar la vista: Hanse aumentado más que los cabellos de mi cabeza, y mi corazón me falta.

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 Q uieras, oh Jehová, librarme; Jehová, apresúrate á socorrerme.

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

14 S ean avergonzados y confusos á una Los que buscan mi vida para cortarla: Vuelvan atrás y avergüéncense Los que mi mal desean.

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 S ean asolados en pago de su afrenta Los que me dicen: ­Ea, ea!

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

16 G ócense y alégrense en ti todos los que te buscan; Y digan siempre los que aman tu salud: Jehová sea ensalzado.

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 A unque afligido yo y necesitado, Jehová pensará de mí: Mi ayuda y mi libertador eres tú; Dios mío, no te tardes.

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!
