< Psalms 141 >
1 [A Psalm by David.] LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly. Listen to my voice when I call 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 before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the 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, LORD, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.
Pon, oh Jehová, guarda á mi boca: guarda la puerta de mis labios.
4 Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Do not let me eat of their delicacies.
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 Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; do not let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.
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 judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.
Serán derribados en lugares peñascosos sus jueces, y oirán mis palabras, que son suaves.
7 "As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol." (Sheol )
Como quien hiende y rompe la tierra, son esparcidos nuestros huesos á la boca de la sepultura. (Sheol )
8 For my eyes are on you, LORD. In you, I take refuge. Do not leave my soul destitute.
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 laid for me, from the traps of evildoers.
Guárdame de los lazos que me han tendido, y de los armadijos de los que obran iniquidad.
10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass by.
Caigan los impíos á una en sus redes, mientras yo pasaré adelante.
