Salmos 64

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

God, listen to me as I tell you the things that I am worried about. I am afraid of my enemies; so save/rescue me from them.

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

Protect me from what wicked men are planning to do to me; protect me from that gang of men who do what is evil.

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

The hostile things they say [MTY] are like [SIM] [sharp] swords; their cruel words are like [SIM] arrows.

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

Without being afraid, they [lie about people and slander people] who have not done what is wrong, like someone who suddenly jumps up from where he is hiding and shoots [arrows] at his enemy [MET].

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

They encourage each other about doing the evil things that they are planning to do; they talk [with each other] about where they can set traps to catch people, and they think, “No one [RHQ] will see what we are doing,

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

because we have planned very well the crime that we are going to commit!” No one can fully understand what people can think and plan!

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

But [it will be as though] God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.

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

Because of what they say [MTY], he will get rid of them, and then everyone who sees [what has happened to] them will shake their heads [to ridicule them].

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

And then everyone will be afraid [to sin because of what might happen to them, also]; they will tell others what God has done, and they themselves will think much about it.

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

Righteous people should rejoice because of what Yahweh [has done]; they should go to him to (find protection/be safe); and all those who are godly will praise him.
