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. JEHOVÁ, á ti he clamado: apresúrate á mí; escucha mi voz, cuando te invocare.
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.
Sea enderezada mi oración delante de ti como un perfume, el don de mis manos como la ofrenda de la tarde.
3 O Lord, keep a watch over my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Pon, oh Jehová, guarda á mi boca: guarda 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 se incline mi corazón á cosa mala, á hacer obras impías con los que obran iniquidad, y no coma yo de sus deleites.
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.
Que el justo me castigue, [será] un favor, y que me reprenda [será] un excelente bálsamo [que] no me herirá la cabeza: así que aun mi oración [tendrán] en sus calamidades.
6 When destruction comes to their judges by the side of the rock, they will give ear to my words, for they are sweet.
Serán derribados en lugares peñascosos sus jueces, y oirán mis palabras, que son suaves.
7 Our bones are broken up at the mouth of the underworld, as the earth is broken by the plough. (Sheol h7585)
Como quien hiende y rompe la tierra, son esparcidos nuestros huesos á la boca de la sepultura. (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.
Por tanto á ti, oh Jehová Señor, [miran] mis ojos: en ti he confiado, no desampares mi alma.
9 Keep me from the net which they have put down for me, and from the designs of the workers of evil.
Guárdame de los lazos que me han tendido, y de los armadijos de los que obran iniquidad.
10 Let the sinners be taken in the nets which they themselves have put down, while I go free.
Caigan los impíos á una en sus redes, mientras yo pasaré adelante.
