Psalms 109
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. God of my praise, don’t remain silent,
Al maestro de coro. De David. Salmo. Oh Dios, Gloria mía, no enmudezcas,
2 for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
porque bocas impías y dolosas se han abierto contra mí y me hablan con lengua pérfida.
3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
Me asedian con odiosos discursos, me combaten sin motivo.
4 In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.
Por lo que me debieran amar, me acusan, y yo hago oración.
5 They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
Me devuelven mal por bien, y odio a cambio de mi amor.
6 Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand.
Ponlo bajo la mano de un impío, con el acusador a su derecha.
7 When he is judged, let him come out guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.
Cuando se le juzgue, salga condenado, y su oración sea pecado.
8 Let his days be few. Let another take his office.
Acórtense sus días, y otro reciba su ministerio.
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Que sus hijos queden huérfanos y viuda su mujer.
10 Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins.
Anden sus hijos mendigando, errantes, arrojados de sus casas destruidas.
11 Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.
El usurero aseche todos sus bienes, y sea presa de los extraños el fruto de su trabajo.
12 Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, neither let there be anyone to have pity on his fatherless children.
Nadie le muestre misericordia y ninguno se compadezca de sus huérfanos.
13 Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Sea su posteridad entregada al exterminio, extíngase su nombre en la primera generación.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the LORD. Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
La culpa de sus padres sea recordada [por Yahvé], y el pecado de su madre no se borre.
15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth;
Estén siempre ante los ojos de Yahvé, para que Él quite de la tierra su memoria;
16 because he didn’t remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.
pues no pensó en usar de misericordia, sino que persiguió al infortunado, al pobre, al afligido de corazón, para darle el golpe de muerte.
17 Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.
Amó la maldición. ¡Cáigale encima! No quiso la bendición. ¡Apártese de él!
18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.
Se revistió de maldición como de una túnica; y le penetró como agua en sus entrañas, y como aceite en sus huesos.
19 Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.
Séale como manto que lo cubra, y como cinto con que siempre se ciña.
20 This is the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, of those who speak evil against my soul.
Tal pago tengan [de Yahvé] los que me acusan y los que profieren maldiciones contra mí.
21 But deal with me, GOD the Lord, for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
Mas Tú, Yahvé, Señor mío, haz conmigo según la gloria de tu Nombre; sálvame, pues tu bondad es misericordiosa.
22 for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.
Porque yo soy un infortunado y pobre, y llevo en mí el corazón herido.
23 I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.
Como sombra que declina, me voy desvaneciendo; soy arrojado como la langosta.
24 My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.
Mis rodillas vacilan, debilitadas por el ayuno, y mi carne, enflaquecida, desfallece.
25 I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.
Y he venido a ser el escarnio de ellos; me miran, y hacen meneos de cabeza.
26 Help me, LORD, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;
Ayúdame, Yahvé, Dios mío, sálvame conforme a tu misericordia.
27 that they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have done it.
Y sepan que aquí está tu mano, y que eres Tú, Yahvé, quien lo ha hecho.
28 They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.
Que ellos maldigan, pero Tú bendíceme. Véanse confundidos los que contra mí se levantan, mas alégrese tu siervo.
29 Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
Sean cubiertos de ignominia los que me acusan, y envueltos en su confusión como en un manto.
30 I will give great thanks to the LORD with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.
Mi boca rebosará de alabanzas a Yahvé; en medio de la gran multitud cantaré sus glorias;
31 For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.
porque Él se mantuvo a la derecha de este pobre para salvarlo de sus jueces.
