Psalms 17

1 A PRAYER OF DAVID. Hear, O YHWH, righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear [to] my prayer, without lips of deceit.

Oración de David. OYE, oh Jehová, justicia; está atento á 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, hasme visitado de noche; me has apurado, y nada inicuo hallaste: heme propuesto que mi boca no ha de propasarse.

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 me he guardado de las vías del destructor.

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 oirás, oh Dios: inclina á mí tu oído, escucha mi palabra.

7 Separate Your kindness wonderfully, O Savior of the confiding, By Your right hand, from withstanders.

Muestra tus estupendas misericordias, tú que salvas á 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 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 oprimen, de mis enemigos que me cercan por la vida.

10 They have closed up their fat, Their mouths have spoken with pride:

Cerrados están 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: puestos tienen sus ojos para echar[nos] por 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, oh Jehová; prevén su encuentro, póstrale: libra 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 hombres con tu mano, oh Jehová, de los hombres de mundo, cuya parte es en [esta] vida, y cuyo vientre hinches de tu tesoro: hartan [sus] hijos, y dejan el resto á sus chiquitos.

15 I—in righteousness, I see Your face; I am satisfied, in awaking, [with] Your form!

Yo en justicia veré tu rostro: seré saciado cuando despertare á tu semejanza.
