Salmos 64

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

“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: preserve my life from the dread of the enemy.

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

Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous assault of the workers of wickedness;

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

Who whet their tongue like a sword, who aim with their arrow, the bitter word:

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

To shoot in secret at the innocent; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

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

They encourage themselves in an evil plan; they tell secretly of laying snares: they say, Who will see them?

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

They search out iniquities; “We are ready with the carefully searched out device:” and the inward thought and heart of each is deeply [hidden].

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

But God shooteth at them suddenly [his] arrow; —[thence] are come their wounds.

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

And their own tongues will stumble over themselves: all that look on them will shake their head.

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

All men shall fear, and shall declare the deeds of God, and understand his works.

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

The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glorify themselves.
