< Psalms 141 >
1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried to you; hear me: attend to the voice of my supplication, when I cry to you.
Salmo de David. JEHOVÁ, á ti he clamado: apresúrate á mí; escucha mi voz, cuando te invocare.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before you as incense; the lifting up of my hands [as] an evening sacrifice.
Sea enderezada mi oración delante de ti como un perfume, el don de mis manos como la ofrenda de la tarde.
3 Set a watch, O Lord, on my mouth, and a strong door about by lips.
Pon, oh Jehová, guarda á mi boca: guarda la puerta de mis labios.
4 Incline not my heart to evil things, to employ pretexts for sins, with me who work iniquity: and I will not. let me not unite with their choice ones.
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 The righteous shall chasten me with mercy, and reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head: for yet shall my prayer also be in their pleasures.
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 Their mighty ones have been swallowed up near the rock: they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
Serán derribados en lugares peñascosos sus jueces, y oirán mis palabras, que son suaves.
7 As a lump of earth is crushed upon the ground, our bones have been scattered by the [mouth of] the grave. (Sheol )
Como quien hiende y rompe la tierra, son esparcidos nuestros huesos á la boca de la sepultura. (Sheol )
8 For mine eyes are to you, O Lord God: I have hoped in you; take not away my life.
Por tanto á ti, oh Jehová Señor, [miran] mis ojos: en ti he confiado, no desampares mi alma.
9 Keep me from the snare which they have set for me, and from the stumbling blocks of them that work iniquity.
Guárdame de los lazos que me han tendido, y de los armadijos de los que obran iniquidad.
10 Sinners shall fall by their own net: I am alone until I shall escape.
Caigan los impíos á una en sus redes, mientras yo pasaré adelante.
