Salmos 64

1 Para el músico principal. Un salmo de David. Escucha mi voz, Dios, en mi queja. Preserva mi vida del miedo al enemigo.

For the music director. A psalm of David. God, please listen to my complaint. Protect me because my enemies scare me.

2 Escóndeme de la conspiración de los malvados, de la ruidosa multitud de los que hacen el mal;

Shelter me from the plots of the wicked, from this evil mob.

3 que afilan su lengua como una espada, y apuntan sus flechas, palabras mortales,

What they say cuts like swords; they fire off poisonous words like arrows.

4 para disparar a hombres inocentes desde emboscadas. Le disparan de repente y sin miedo.

They shoot from their hiding places at innocent people—doing this without warning, not afraid of being caught.

5 Se alientan a sí mismos en planes malvados. Hablan de poner trampas en secreto. Dicen: “¿Quién los verá?”

They encourage one another to do evil, planning how to secretly trap people, telling themselves, “Nobody will notice.”

6 Conspiran la injusticia, diciendo: “¡Hemos hecho un plan perfecto!” Seguramente la mente y el corazón del hombre son astutos.

They plot wicked things. “What a great plan we've created!” they say. There are no limits to the depths to which human minds and thoughts can sink.

7 Pero Dios les disparará. Serán abatidos repentinamente con una flecha.

But God will shoot them with arrows; all of a sudden they will be wounded.

8 Sus propias lenguas los arruinarán. Todos los que los vean sacudirán la cabeza.

What they themselves say will trip them up; people who see them will mock them, shaking their heads at them.

9 Toda la humanidad tendrá miedo. Declararán la obra de Dios, y reflexionará sabiamente sobre lo que ha hecho.

Then everyone will be frightened. They will say that this is the work of God, and they will think about what he has done.

10 Los justos se alegrarán en Yahvé, y se refugiarán en él. Todos los rectos de corazón lo alabarán.

Those who are right with the Lord will be happy in him, they will go to him for protection. Those who live right will praise him.
