Psalms 64

1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice in my plaint; preserve my life 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 Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity,

Ampárame contra la conspiración de los malvados; contra la turba de los malhechores,

3 Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;

que aguzan su lengua como espada, y lanzan su saeta: la palabra venenosa,

4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

para herir a escondidas al inocente; para alcanzarlo de improviso, a mansalva.

5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them?

Afirmados resueltamente en sus perversos designios, se conciertan para tender sus lazos ocultos, diciendo: “¿Quién nos verá?”

6 They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward [thought] and heart is deep.

Fraguados los planes dolosos (dicen): “El golpe está bien preparado, procedamos.” ¡Profundo es el pensamiento y el corazón del hombre!

7 But God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;

Pero Dios les manda una saeta, quedan heridos de improviso;

8 By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.

su propia lengua los arruina, y cuantos los miran menean la cabeza.

9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.

Entonces todos temerán y proclamarán la obra de Dios, y reconocerán que es cosa suya.

10 The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Entretanto el justo se alegrará en Yahvé y en Él confiará; y se gloriarán todos los de corazón recto.
