Psalms 141
1 A Melody of David. O Yahweh, I have cried unto thee, Make thou haste to me, Give ear unto my voice, when I cry to thee.
Salmo de David. JEHOVÁ, á ti he clamado: apresúrate á mí; escucha mi voz, cuando te invocare.
2 Let my prayer be set in order like incense before thee, —the lifting up of my hands, as the evening gift.
Sea enderezada mi oración delante de ti como un perfume, el don de mis manos como la ofrenda de la tarde.
3 Set thou, O Yahweh, a watch at my mouth, Keep thou guard over the door of my lips.
Pon, oh Jehová, guarda á mi boca: guarda la puerta de mis labios.
4 Let not my heart incline to a matter of wrong, that I should busy myself with practices in lawlessness, with men working iniquity, and let me not eat of their dainties.
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 a righteous man smite me—a lovingkindness, that he should correct me, an oil for the head [which] let not my head refuse! For, yet, even my prayer, shall be in their calamities.
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, have been hurled down by a crag, Now have men heard my sayings, for they have become sweet.
Serán derribados en lugares peñascosos sus jueces, y oirán mis palabras, que son suaves.
7 As when one plougheth and furroweth the earth, Scattered about, are our bones at the mouth of hades! (Sheol h7585)
Como quien hiende y rompe la tierra, son esparcidos nuestros huesos á la boca de la sepultura. (Sheol h7585)
8 Surely, unto thee, O Yahweh, My Lord, are mine eyes, In thee, have I sought refuge, Do not pour out my life.
Por tanto á ti, oh Jehová Señor, [miran] mis ojos: en ti he confiado, no desampares mi alma.
9 Keep me out of the clutches of the trap they have set for me, and the snares of the workers of iniquity.
Guárdame de los lazos que me han tendido, y de los armadijos de los que obran iniquidad.
10 They who are lawless, shall fall into the nooses thereof, while, I, at the same time, pass on.
Caigan los impíos á una en sus redes, mientras yo pasaré adelante.
