Salmos 17
1 Una oración de David. ¡Señor, por favor escucha mi clamor de justicia! ¡Por favor presta atención a mi llamado de auxilio! ¡Escucha la oración de un hombre honesto!
Yahweh, listen to me while I plead with you to act justly toward me. Hear me while I call out to you to help me. Pay attention to what I say while I pray because I am speaking [MTY] honestly/truthfully.
2 Vindícame delante de ti, porque tú ves lo que es correcto.
You are the one who is able to declare that I (am innocent/have not done anything that was wrong) because you see/know that I am telling the truth.
3 Has conocido mis pensamientos, me has visitado por la noche, me has examinado, y no has encontrado nada malo. Me prometí a mí mismo que no diría nada indebido.
You know what I think, [even] at night; you have examined what I say and do, and you know that I have determined to never tell any lies.
4 Con respecto a las acciones de otros: he hecho lo que me dijiste, y he evitado lo que hacen las personas violentas.
I have not done like others do; I have always done what is right [IDM], and I have not acted cruelly toward others.

O God, I pray to you because you answer me; please listen [MTY] to what I am saying.

12 Son como leones que quieren desgarrar sus presas; como feroces leones agazapados en una emboscada.
They are like lions [SIM] that are ready to tear apart the animals that they capture; they are like young lions that are hiding, waiting to pounce [on their prey].
13 Señor, ¡levántate y confróntalos! ¡Fuérzalos a volver atrás! ¡Con tu espada, defiéndeme de los malvados!
Yahweh, come and (oppose/fight against) my enemies and defeat them! Use your sword to save me from those wicked people!
14 Señor, por tu poder, sálvame de personas cuyos únicos pensamientos son de este mundo. Que se llenen con lo que tienes reservado para ellos, sus hijos también, ¡con sobras para sus nietos!
Yahweh, by your power [MTY] rescue me from those people who are interested [only] in things here in this world. But you provide plenty of food for those whom you love dearly; their children also have many things that their grandchildren will inherit.
15 En cuanto a mí, veré tu rostro en toda su gloria. Cuando despierte, estaré grandemente complacido de verte cara a cara.
Yahweh, because I act righteously, I will [some day] see you [SYN]. When I awake, I will see you face-to-face, and then I will be happy.
