Psalms 17
1 A PRAYER OF DAVID. Hear, O YHWH, righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear [to] my prayer, without lips of deceit.
Oye, o! Jehová, la justicia; está atento a mi clamor: escucha mi oración, hecha sin labios de engaño.
2 My judgment goes out from before You; Your eyes see uprightly.
De delante de tu rostro salga mi juicio: vean tus ojos la rectitud.
3 You have proved my heart, You have inspected by night, You have tried me, You find nothing; My thoughts do not pass over my mouth.
Tú has probado mi corazón; me has visitado de noche; refinásteme, y no hallaste: lo que pensé no pasó mi boca.
4 As for doings of man, Through a word of Your lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer;
Para las obras humanas, por la palabra de tus labios yo observé los caminos del violento.
5 To uphold my goings in Your paths, My steps have not slipped.
Sustenta mis pasos en tus caminos, porque mis pies no resbalen.
6 I called You, for You answer me, O God, incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.
Yo te he invocado, por cuanto tú me oyes, o! Dios; inclina a mí tu oreja, oye mi palabra.
7 Separate Your kindness wonderfully, O Savior of the confiding, By Your right hand, from withstanders.
Haz maravillosas tus misericordias, salvador de los que en ti confían, de los que se levantan contra tu diestra.
8 Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your 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 spoiled me, [From] my enemies in soul who go around against me.
De delante de los malos que me oprimieron: de mis enemigos que me cercan por la vida.
10 They have closed up their fat, Their mouths have spoken with pride:
Cerrados con su grosura: con su boca hablan soberbiamente.
11 “Our steps have now surrounded [him]”; They set their eyes to turn aside in the land.
Nuestros pasos nos han cercado ahora: ponen sus ojos para tender nos a tierra;
12 His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, As a young lion dwelling in secret places.
Parecen al león que desea hacer presa: y al leoncillo que está escondido.
13 Arise, O YHWH, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Your sword,
Levántate, o! Jehová; anticipa su rostro: póstrale: escapa mi alma del malo con tu espada;
14 From men, Your hand, O YHWH, From men of the world, their portion [is] in life, And [with] Your hidden things You fill their belly, They are satisfied [with] sons, And have left their abundance to their sucklings.
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 I—in righteousness, I see Your face; I am satisfied, in awaking, [with] Your form!
Yo en justicia veré tu rostro: hartarme he cuando despertare a tu semejanza.
