Psalms 141

1 A Psalm. Of David. Lord, I have made my cry to you; come to me quickly; give ear to my voice, when it goes up to you.

Salmo de David. Te he invocado, Yahvé, socórreme pronto; escucha mi voz cuando te llamo.

2 Let my prayer be ordered before you like a sweet smell; and let the lifting up of my hands be like the evening offering.

Como el incienso, suba hacia Ti mi oración; sea la elevación de mis manos el sacrificio vespertino.

3 O Lord, keep a watch over my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

Pon, Yahvé, una guardia ante mi boca, un cerrojo en la puerta de mis labios.

4 Keep my heart from desiring any evil thing, or from taking part in the sins of the evil-doers with men who do wrong: and let me have no part in their good things.

No dejes inclinar mi corazón a lo malo, para consumar acciones impías con hombres que obran la iniquidad; ni me dejes tener parte en sus delicias.

5 Let the upright give me punishment; and let the god-fearing man put me in the right way; but I will not let the oil of sinners come on my head: when they do evil I will give myself to prayer.

Golpéeme el justo y me corrija: esto es amor; mas nunca el óleo del pecador unja mi cabeza, y aun se elevará mi oración en sus prosperidades.

6 When destruction comes to their judges by the side of the rock, they will give ear to my words, for they are sweet.

Fueron precipitados sus príncipes junto a la roca, y habían oído cuan suaves eran mis palabras.

7 Our bones are broken up at the mouth of the underworld, as the earth is broken by the plough. (Sheol h7585)

Como la tierra que se trabaja rompiéndola, mis huesos han sido dislocados, y la tumba se ha abierto. (Sheol h7585)

8 But my eyes are turned to you, O Lord God: my hope is in you; let not my soul be given up to death.

Mas a Ti, Señor Yahvé, se dirigen mis ojos; a Ti recurro, no derrames mi vida.

9 Keep me from the net which they have put down for me, and from the designs of the workers of evil.

Guárdame del lazo que me han tendido y de las emboscadas de los malhechores.

10 Let the sinners be taken in the nets which they themselves have put down, while I go free.

Caigan juntos los impíos en sus propias redes al mismo tiempo que yo me salvare.
