< 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. SEÑOR, a ti he llamado; apresúrate a mí; escucha mi voz, cuando te llamare.
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 incienso, el don de mis manos como el sacrificio de la tarde.
3 Set a watch, O Lord, on my mouth, and a strong door about by lips.
Pon, oh SEÑOR, guarda a 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 inclines mi corazón a cosa mala, a hacer obras con impiedad con los varones 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 me hiera el justo con misericordia, y que me reprenda; y halago de príncipe inicuo no unte mi cabeza; porque aun mi oración será contra sus males.
6 Their mighty ones have been swallowed up near the rock: they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
Serán derribados de lugares fuertes 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 leños en tierra, son esparcidos nuestros huesos a 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 a ti, oh DIOS el 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 las manos del lazo que me han tendido, y de los lazos de los que obran iniquidad.
10 Sinners shall fall by their own net: I am alone until I shall escape.
Caigan los impíos a una en sus redes, mientras yo pasaré adelante para siempre.
