Psalms 140
1 Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man,
Rescátame, oh Yavé, de hombres perversos. Guárdame de hombres violentos
2 and men who devise mischievous things in their heart. They gather themselves continually together for war.
Que maquinan cosas malas en [sus] corazones. Continuamente promueven guerras,
3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent. Adders' poison is under their lips. (Selah)
Afilan su lengua como serpiente. Veneno de víbora hay debajo de sus labios. (Selah)
4 Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of a wicked man. Preserve me from violent men, who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.
Guárdame, oh Yavé, de las manos de los perversos. Guárdame de hombres violentos, Que se proponen que vacilen mis pies.
5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords. They have spread a net by the wayside. They have set snares for me. (Selah)
Soberbios esconden trampa y cuerdas contra mí, Junto al sendero me extienden una red. (Selah)
6 I said to Jehovah, Thou are my God. Give ear to the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah.
Digo a Yavé: Tú eres mi ʼElohim. Presta oído, oh Yavé, a la voz de mis súplicas.
7 O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou have covered my head in the day of battle.
Oh Yavé ʼAdonay, Fortaleza de mi salvación, Cubriste mi cabeza en el día de la batalla.
8 Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked man. Do not further his evil device. They exalt themselves. (Selah)
No concedas, oh Yavé, los deseos del perverso. No promuevas su designio de ser ellos exaltados. (Selah)
9 As for the head of those who encompass me around, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
En cuanto a la cabeza de los que me rodean, Cúbralos la perversidad de sus propios labios.
10 Let burning coals fall upon them. Let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits, from where they shall not rise.
Que caigan sobre ellos carbones encendidos. Que sean echados al fuego En abismos profundos de donde no puedan salir.
11 An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth. Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Que el difamador no sea establecido en la tierra. Que el mal cace velozmente al varón violento.
12 I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted man, and justice for the needy.
Yo sé que Yavé defiende la causa del afligido, Y la justicia para el pobre.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to thy name. The upright shall dwell in thy presence.
Ciertamente los justos darán gracias a tu Nombre, Los rectos vivirán en tu Presencia.
