1 For the music director. A psalm of David. I waited for the Lord patiently, and he turned to me—he heard my cry for help.
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. I waited patiently for Yahweh. He turned to me, and heard my cry.
2 He pulled me out of the pit of destruction, out from the mud and the slime. He set me on a rock, and gave me a safe place to stand.
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 gave me a new song to sing, a song of praise to our God. Many people will see and be in awe, and they will put their trust in him.
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 Happy are those who trust in the Lord, who do not look for help from the arrogant or from those who worship idols.
4 Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.
5 Lord my God, you have done so many wonderful things for us, and you have so many plans for us. No one compares to you. I want to tell all that you've done—blessings too many to count.
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◆ You don't want sacrifices and offerings. Now you have helped me understand—you're not asking for burnt offerings or sin offerings.
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, “Look! Here I am! I've come to do what is written about me in the scroll of the Book.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the book in the scroll.
8 I am pleased to do your will, my God—your Law guides my mind.”
8 I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”
9 I have announced the good news of salvation to the whole congregation. I don't keep quiet, Lord, as you know.
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 kept the truth of your goodness hidden inside me—I have spoken of your trustworthiness and your salvation. I have not concealed your unfailing love and your faithfulness from the whole congregation.
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 Lord, please don't keep back your mercy from me. May your trustworthy love and faithfulness always be my protection.
11 Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahweh. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
12 For I'm experiencing so many problems—I can't even count them! My sins have piled up so high I can't see over them. They're more than the number of hairs on my head! I feel like giving up!
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 Lord, please save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!
13 Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Yahweh.
14 Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.
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 May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.
15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, “Aha! Aha!”
16 But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “The Lord is great!”
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 As for me, I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. Help me! Save me! My God, please don't wait!
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.

¿Por qué mi Biblia dice algo distinto?
- Salmo 40:6 y Hebreos 10:5: ¿«oídos» o «un cuerpo»?
En el texto hebreo del Salmo 40, Dios ha «cavado» o «abierto» los oídos del salmista. En la Septuaginta griega (Salmo 39:7), Dios le ha «preparado un cuerpo», y la Epístola a los Hebreos cita ese texto griego al hablar de la venida de Cristo al mundo. La Iglesia ortodoxa lee el griego. Los estudiosos siguen debatiendo cómo surgió la lectura griega.
Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
Behold, a ready obedience is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams." David also says: "Sacrifice and oblation Thou didst not desire, but mine ears hast Thou perfected; burnt-offerings also for sin Thou hast not required." He thus teaches them that God desires obedience, which renders them secure, rather than sacrifices and holocausts, which avail them …
… but on account of that which is to be after death, I shall do well to commence my disputation with the truthful oracle of the holy psalm, "Blessed is the man whose hope is the Lord God, and who respecteth not vanities and lying follies." Nevertheless, in all vanities and lying follies the philosophers are to be listened to with …

… of God: I have trusted in the mercy of God."

… were slain as a shadow of that which was to come; wherefore also we recognize the voice in the 40th Psalm as that of the same Mediator speaking through prophesy, "Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not desire; but a body hast Thou perfected for me." Because, instead of all these sacrifices and oblations, His body is offered, and is served …
