Salmos 141
1 Para el director del coro. Un Salmo de David. ¡Oh, Señor! A ti calmo. ¡Apresúrate a ayudarme! ¡Escucha, por favor, cuando clamo por tu ayuda!
Yahweh, I call out to you; [please] help me quickly! Listen to me when I am calling to you.
2 Que I oración se eleve como incienso hacia ti. Elevo mis manos como una ofrenda vespertina.
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].
3 Señor, no permitas que diga nada indebido. Toma control de mis conversaciones.
Yahweh, do not allow me to say [MTY] things that are wrong; guard my lips.
4 No me dejes pensar en cosas malas ni tomar parte con los malvados. No participaré en sus fiestas.
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!
5 Deja que sea una persona buena la que me castigue con amor y que me corrija. Sería como una unción, y no me negaré a ello. Pero aún así oraré por los que hacen el mal.
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].
6 Ellos serán derribados con el poder de la roca que los juzga, y reconocerán que yo digo la verdad.
When their rulers are thrown down from the top of rocky cliffs, people will know that what you, Yahweh, said [about them] is true.
7 Así como la tierra queda dividida por el arado, así sus huesos serán esparcidos en la boca del Seol. (Sheol h7585)
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)
8 Pero yo te busco a ti, Señor y Dios, porque en ti encuentro protección. ¡No me dejes morir!
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]!
9 Mantenme a salvo de la trampa que me han tendido, de las redes de los malvados.
[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.
10 Déjalos caer en sus propias trampas, pero a mí déjame pasar sin daño alguno.
I desire that wicked [people] will fall into the traps they have set [to catch me] while I escape [from them].
