Psalms 17
1 A Prayer of David. Lord, listen to my justice, attend to my supplication. Pay attention to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.
Una oración de David. Escucha, Yahvé, mi justa súplica. Presta atención a mi oración que no sale de labios engañosos.
2 Let my judgment proceed from your presence. Let your eyes behold fairness.
Que mi sentencia salga de tu presencia. Deja que tus ojos miren la equidad.
3 You have tested my heart and visited it by night. You have examined me by fire, and iniquity has not been found in me.
Has probado mi corazón. Me has visitado en la noche. Me has probado y no has encontrado nada. He resuelto que mi boca no desobedezca.
4 Therefore, may my mouth not speak the works of men. I have kept to difficult ways because of the words of your lips.
En cuanto a las obras de los hombres, por la palabra de tus labios, Me he alejado de los caminos de los violentos.
5 Perfect my steps in your paths, so that my footsteps may not be disturbed.
Mis pasos se han mantenido firmes en tus caminos. Mis pies no han resbalado.
6 I have cried out because you, O God, have listened to me. Incline your ear to me and heed my words.
Te he invocado, porque tú me responderás, Dios. Poner el oído en mí. Escucha mi discurso.
7 Make your mercies wonderful, for you save those who hope in you.
Muestra tu maravillosa bondad amorosa, tú que salvas a los que se refugian por tu derecha de sus enemigos.
8 From those who resist your right hand, preserve me like the pupil of your eye. Protect me under the shadow of your wings,
Guárdame como la niña de tus ojos. Escóndeme bajo la sombra de tus alas,
9 from the face of the impious who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul.
de los malvados que me oprimen, mis enemigos mortales, que me rodean.
10 They have concealed their fatness; their mouth has been speaking arrogantly.
Cierran sus corazones insensibles. Con la boca hablan con orgullo.
11 They have cast me out, and now they have surrounded me. They have cast their eyes down to the earth.
Ahora nos han rodeado en nuestros pasos. Pusieron sus ojos en arrojarnos a la tierra.
12 They have taken me, like a lion ready for the prey, and like a young lion dwelling in hiding.
Es como un león ávido de su presa, como si fuera un joven león que acecha en lugares secretos.
13 Rise up, O Lord, arrive before him and displace him. Deliver my soul from the impious one: your spear from the enemies of your hand.
Levántate, Yahvé, enfréntate a él. Échalo abajo. Libra mi alma de los malvados con tu espada,
14 Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life. Their gut has been filled from your hidden stores. They have been filled with sons, and they have bequeathed to their little ones the remainder.
de los hombres por tu mano, Yahvé, de los hombres del mundo, cuya porción está en esta vida. Llenas la barriga de tus seres queridos. Sus hijos tienen mucho, y acumulan riquezas para sus hijos.
15 But as for me, I will appear before your sight in justice. I will be satisfied when your glory appears.
En cuanto a mí, veré tu rostro en la justicia. Me conformaré, cuando despierte, con ver tu forma.
