Psalms 64

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror 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 council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

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

3 Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;

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

4 That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

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

5 They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.

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

6 They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.

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

7 But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.

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

8 So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.

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

9 And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.

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

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge 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.
