Salmos 141
1 Un salmo de David. Yahvé, te he invocado. ¡Vengan a mí rápidamente! Escucha mi voz cuando te llamo.
Yahweh, I call out to you; [please] help me quickly! Listen to me when I am calling to you.
2 Que mi oración sea puesta ante ti como un incienso; la elevación de mis manos como el sacrificio de la tarde.
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 Pon un reloj, Yahvé, delante de mi boca. Guarda la puerta de mis labios.
Yahweh, do not allow me to say [MTY] things that are wrong; guard my lips.
4 No inclines mi corazón a ninguna cosa mala, para practicar obras de maldad con los hombres que obran la iniquidad. No me dejes comer de sus manjares.
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 Que el justo me golpee, es la bondad; que me reprenda, es como el aceite en la cabeza; no dejes que mi cabeza lo rechace; Sin embargo, mi oración es siempre contra las malas acciones.
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 Sus jueces son arrojados a los lados de la roca. Escucharán mis palabras, porque están bien dichas.
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 “Como cuando se ara y se rompe la tierra, nuestros huesos están dispersos 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 Porque mis ojos están puestos en ti, Yahvé, el Señor. Me refugio en ti. No dejes mi alma desamparada.
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 Guárdame de la trampa que me han tendido, de las trampas de los obreros de la iniquidad.
[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 Quelos malvados caigan juntos en sus propias redes mientras yo paso.
I desire that wicked [people] will fall into the traps they have set [to catch me] while I escape [from them].
