1 I waited patiently for Yahweh.

He turned to me, and heard my cry.

2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit,

out of the miry clay.

He set my feet on a rock,

and gave me a firm place to stand.

3 He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God.

Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yahweh.

4 Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust,

and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.

5 Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done,

and your thoughts which are toward us.

They can’t be declared back to you.

If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

6 Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire.

You have opened my ears.

You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.

7 Then I said, "Behold, I have come.

It is written about me in the book in the scroll.

8 I delight to do your will, my God.

Yes, your law is within my heart."

9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly.

Behold, I will not seal my lips, Yahweh, you know.

10 I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart.

I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation.

I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.

11 Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahweh.

Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.

12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me.

My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up.

They are more than the hairs of my head.

My heart has failed me.

13 Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me.

Hurry to help me, Yahweh.

14 Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it.

Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha! Aha!"

16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.

Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let Yahweh be exalted!"

17 But I am poor and needy.

May the Lord think about me.

You are my help and my deliverer.

Don’t delay, my God.

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

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

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

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

5 Aumentado 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.

6 Sacrificio y presente no te agrada; Has abierto mis 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, hame agradado; Y tu ley está en medio de mis entrañas.

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

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

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

12 Porque 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.

13 Quieras, oh Jehová, librarme; Jehová, apresúrate á socorrerme.

14 Sean avergonzados y confusos á 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 salud: Jehová sea ensalzado.

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