Psalms 141
1 Yahweh, I call out to you; [please] help me quickly! Listen to me when I am calling to you.
¡Oh Yavé, a Ti clamo, apresúrate hacia mí! Presta oído a mi voz cuando te invoco.
2 Accept my prayer as though it were incense [being burned as an offering] [SIM] to you. And accept me while I lift up my hands [to pray] to you like you accept sacrifices [that I offer to you each] evening [SIM].
Que mi oración sea contada como incienso delante de Ti, El levantamiento de mis manos como [la] ofrenda de la tarde.
3 Yahweh, do not allow me to say [MTY] things that are wrong; guard my lips.
Pon, oh Yavé, un guardia sobre mi boca. Vigila la puerta de mis labios.
4 Prevent me from wanting to do anything that is wrong, and from joining with wicked men when they want to do evil deeds [DOU]. Do not [even] allow me to share in eating delightful food with them!
No inclines mi corazón a alguna cosa perversa, Para que haga obras de perversidad Con hombres que practican iniquidad, Y no me dejes probar sus golosinas.
5 It is all right if righteous people strike/hit me or rebuke me because they are trying to act kindly toward me [to teach me to do what is right], but I do not want wicked [people] to [honor me by] anointing my head with [olive] oil; I am always praying [that you will punish them because of] the wicked deeds [that they do].
Que el justo me castigue con bondad Y me reprenda. No permitas que el aceite del impío embellezca mi cabeza. Porque aun mi oración está contra las obras perversas.
6 When their rulers are thrown down from the top of rocky cliffs, people will know that what you, Yahweh, said [about them] is true.
Sean lanzados sus jueces por las laderas de la peña. Y oigan mis palabras, porque son agradables.
7 Like a log that is split and cut into small pieces [SIM], their shattered bones will be scattered [on the ground] near [other] graves. (Sheol h7585)
Como cuando uno ara y rompe la tierra, Nuestros huesos fueron esparcidos en la boca del Seol. (Sheol h7585)
8 But Yahweh God, I [continue to] ask you [to help me]. I ask you to protect me; do not allow me to (die/be killed) [now]!
Pero mis ojos están hacia Ti, oh Yavé, ʼAdonay. En Ti me refugio. No me dejes indefenso.
9 [It is as though] people have set traps for me; protect me from falling into those traps, [It is as though] they have spread nets to catch me; keep me from being caught in those nets.
Guárdame de las trampas que me tendieron Y de las trampas de los que cometen iniquidad.
10 I desire that wicked [people] will fall into the traps they have set [to catch me] while I escape [from them].
Que los perversos caigan en sus propias redes Mientras yo paso con seguridad.
