Psalms 64

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Al maestro de coro. Salmo de David. Oye, oh Dios, mi voz en esta queja; libra mi vida del enemigo aterrador.

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

Ampárame contra la conspiración de los malvados; contra la turba de los malhechores,

3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

que aguzan su lengua como espada, y lanzan su saeta: la palabra venenosa,

4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

para herir a escondidas al inocente; para alcanzarlo de improviso, a mansalva.

5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they speak of laying snares secretly; they say, Who shall see them?

Afirmados resueltamente en sus perversos designios, se conciertan para tender sus lazos ocultos, diciendo: “¿Quién nos verá?”

6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

Fraguados los planes dolosos (dicen): “El golpe está bien preparado, procedamos.” ¡Profundo es el pensamiento y el corazón del hombre!

7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

Pero Dios les manda una saeta, quedan heridos de improviso;

8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

su propia lengua los arruina, y cuantos los miran menean la cabeza.

9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

Entonces todos temerán y proclamarán la obra de Dios, y reconocerán que es cosa suya.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Entretanto el justo se alegrará en Yahvé y en Él confiará; y se gloriarán todos los de corazón recto.
