< Psalms 64 >
1 For the end, a Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to thee; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.
Al maestro de coro. Salmo de David. Oye, oh Dios, mi voz en esta queja; libra mi vida del enemigo aterrador.
2 Thou hast sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;
Ampárame contra la conspiración de los malvados; contra la turba de los malhechores,
3 who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;
que aguzan su lengua como espada, y lanzan su saeta: la palabra venenosa,
4 to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.
para herir a escondidas al inocente; para alcanzarlo de improviso, a mansalva.
5 They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them?
Afirmados resueltamente en sus perversos designios, se conciertan para tender sus lazos ocultos, diciendo: “¿Quién nos verá?”
6 They have searched out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,
Fraguados los planes dolosos (dicen): “El golpe está bien preparado, procedamos.” ¡Profundo es el pensamiento y el corazón del hombre!
7 and God shall be exalted, their wounds were [caused by] the weapon of the foolish children,
Pero Dios les manda una saeta, quedan heridos de improviso;
8 and their tongues have set him at nought, all that saw them were troubled;
su propia lengua los arruina, y cuantos los miran menean la cabeza.
9 and every man was alarmed, and they related the works of God, and understood his deeds.
Entonces todos temerán y proclamarán la obra de Dios, y reconocerán que es cosa suya.
10 The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and hope on him, and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
Entretanto el justo se alegrará en Yahvé y en Él confiará; y se gloriarán todos los de corazón recto.
