Psalms 17
1 The prayer of David. Hear, O Lord, my justice: attend to my supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which proceedeth not from deceitful lips.
Oye, o! Jehová, la justicia; está atento a mi clamor: escucha mi oración, hecha sin labios de engaño.
2 Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable.
De delante de tu rostro salga mi juicio: vean tus ojos la rectitud.
3 Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me.
Tú has probado mi corazón; me has visitado de noche; refinásteme, y no hallaste: lo que pensé no pasó mi boca.
4 That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways.
Para las obras humanas, por la palabra de tus labios yo observé los caminos del violento.
5 Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not moved.
Sustenta mis pasos en tus caminos, porque mis pies no resbalen.
6 I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words.
Yo te he invocado, por cuanto tú me oyes, o! Dios; inclina a mí tu oreja, oye mi palabra.
7 Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee.
Haz maravillosas tus misericordias, salvador de los que en ti confían, de los que se levantan contra tu diestra.
8 From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings.
Guárdame como a lo negro de la niñeta del ojo, escóndeme con la sombra de tus alas.
9 From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul:
De delante de los malos que me oprimieron: de mis enemigos que me cercan por la vida.
10 They have shut up their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly.
Cerrados con su grosura: con su boca hablan soberbiamente.
11 They have cast me forth and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.
Nuestros pasos nos han cercado ahora: ponen sus ojos para tender nos a tierra;
12 They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a young lion dwelling in secret places.
Parecen al león que desea hacer presa: y al leoncillo que está escondido.
13 Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; deliver my soul from the wicked one: thy sword
Levántate, o! Jehová; anticipa su rostro: póstrale: escapa mi alma del malo con tu espada;
14 From the enemies of thy hand. O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: their belly is filled from thy hidden stores. They are full of children: and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance.
De los varones con tu mano, o! Jehová: de los varones de mundo cuya parte es en esta vida: cuyo vientre hinches de tu tesoro: hartan sus hijos, y dejan la resta a sus chiquitos.
15 But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.
Yo en justicia veré tu rostro: hartarme he cuando despertare a tu semejanza.
