Psalms 141
1 A psalm of David. Lord, I'm calling out to you! Please hurry up and help me! Please listen to me when I cry out to you!
Salmo de David. JEHOVÁ, á ti he clamado: apresúrate á mí; escucha mi voz, cuando te invocare.
2 May my prayer be like incense before you, my uplifted hands like an evening offering.
Sea enderezada mi oración delante de ti como un perfume, el don de mis manos como la ofrenda de la tarde.
3 Lord, make sure I don't say anything I shouldn't—keep a watch over my conversations.
Pon, oh Jehová, guarda á mi boca: guarda la puerta de mis labios.
4 Don't let me think about evil things or take part in doing anything wrong with wicked people. I won't join in eating fancy food at their feasts.
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 a good person punish me in love—let them correct me. It will be like an anointing—I won't refuse it. But I still pray against those who do evil.
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 They shall be thrown down by the power of the rock that judges them, and then they will recognize what I said was true!
Serán derribados en lugares peñascosos sus jueces, y oirán mis palabras, que son suaves.
7 Just as the earth is broken up by the plough, so shall their bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Como quien hiende y rompe la tierra, son esparcidos nuestros huesos á la boca de la sepultura. (Sheol h7585)
8 But I'm looking to you, Lord God, for I find protection in you. Don't let me die!
Por tanto á ti, oh Jehová Señor, [miran] mis ojos: en ti he confiado, no desampares mi alma.
9 Keep me safe from the traps they have set to catch me, from the snares of evil people.
Guárdame de los lazos que me han tendido, y de los armadijos de los que obran iniquidad.
10 Let them fall into their own traps while I pass by unharmed.
Caigan los impíos á una en sus redes, mientras yo pasaré adelante.
