Salmos 7
1 Meditación de David, que cantó a Yahvé, sobre las palabras de Cus, el benjamita. Yahvé, Dios mío, en ti me refugio. Sálvame de todos los que me persiguen y líbrame,
Yahweh my God, I come to you to protect me. Rescue me, save me from all those who are pursuing me [in order to harm me].
2 para que no desgarren mi alma como un león, rompiéndolo en pedazos, mientras no hay nadie que lo entregue.
If you do not do that, they will tear me into pieces like a lion does [when it attacks the animals it wants to kill], and no one will save me [from them].
3 Yahvé, Dios mío, si he hecho esto, si hay iniquidad en mis manos,
Yahweh my God, if I have done anything that is wrong,
4 si he premiado con el mal al que estaba en paz conmigo (sí, he liberado al que sin causa era mi adversario),
if I have done evil to some friend who did good things to me, or if, for no good reason, I have spared (OR, acted violently toward) those who were my enemies,
5 que el enemigo persiga mi alma y la alcance; sí, que pise mi vida hasta la tierra, y poner mi gloria en el polvo. (Selah)
allow my enemies to pursue me and capture me. Allow them to trample me into the ground and leave me [SYN] [lying dead] in the dirt.
6 Levántate, Yahvé, en tu ira. Levántate contra la furia de mis adversarios. Despierta por mí. Has ordenado el juicio.
But Yahweh, because you are [very] angry [with those who pursue me], arise and attack/defeat my enemies who are furiously/angrily [attacking me] Do to them what is just!
7 Que la congregación de los pueblos te rodee. Gobierna sobre ellos en las alturas.
Gather around you the people of [all] nations, and rule them from where you are in heaven [MTY].
8 Yahvé administra el juicio a los pueblos. Júzgame, Yahvé, según mi justicia, y a la integridad que hay en mí.
Yahweh, judge the people of [all] nations! And, Yahweh, show that I have done nothing that is wrong.
9 Oh, que la maldad de los malvados llegue a su fin, sino que establece a los justos; sus mentes y corazones son escudriñados por el Dios justo.
God, you know what every person is thinking, and because you are righteous, you [always] do what is just/right. [So now] stop evil people from doing wicked [deeds], and defend [all of us who are] righteous!
10 Mi escudo está con Dios, que salva a los rectos de corazón.
God, you protect me like a shield [protects soldiers] [MET]; you protect all those who are righteous in their inner being.
11 Dios es un juez justo, Sí, un Dios que se indigna cada día.
You judge [everyone] correctly, and every day you punish [wicked people].
12 Si un hombre no se arrepiente, afilará su espada; ha doblado y encordado su arco.
Whenever your enemies do not (repent/change their behavior), [it is as though] [MET] you sharpen your sword and put a string on your bow [to get ready to kill them].
13 También ha preparado para sí mismo los instrumentos de la muerte. Prepara sus flechas de fuego.
You are preparing your weapons that kill those whom they strike; the arrows that you will shoot have flaming tips.
14 He aquí que se afana en la iniquidad. Sí, ha concebido una travesura, y sacó a relucir la falsedad.
Wicked people tell lies, and they think that they surely will be able to do [MET] the evil things that they are planning to do [just as surely as] a pregnant woman [knows that she is going to give birth to a child] [MET].
15 Ha cavado un agujero, y ha caído en el pozo que hizo.
But when they dig a deep pit [to trap others], they themselves will fall into it.
16 La molestia que cause volverá a su propia cabeza. Su violencia caerá sobre la corona de su propia cabeza.
They themselves will experience the trouble that they want to cause others to have; they will hurt themselves by the violent things that they want to do to others.
17 Daré gracias a Yahvé según su justicia, y cantarán alabanzas al nombre de Yahvé el Altísimo.
I praise Yahweh because he [always acts] righteously/justly; I sing to praise Yahweh, the one who is much greater than any other god.
