< Salmos 140 >

1 Rescátame, oh Yavé, de hombres perversos. Guárdame de hombres violentos
Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man,
2 Que maquinan cosas malas en [sus] corazones. Continuamente promueven guerras,
and men who devise mischievous things in their heart. They gather themselves continually together for war.
3 Afilan su lengua como serpiente. Veneno de víbora hay debajo de sus labios. (Selah)
They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent. Adders' poison is under their lips. (Selah)
4 Guárdame, oh Yavé, de las manos de los perversos. Guárdame de hombres violentos, Que se proponen que vacilen mis pies.
Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of a wicked man. Preserve me from violent men, who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.
5 Soberbios esconden trampa y cuerdas contra mí, Junto al sendero me extienden una red. (Selah)
The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords. They have spread a net by the wayside. They have set snares for me. (Selah)
6 Digo a Yavé: Tú eres mi ʼElohim. Presta oído, oh Yavé, a la voz de mis súplicas.
I said to Jehovah, Thou are my God. Give ear to the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah.
7 Oh Yavé ʼAdonay, Fortaleza de mi salvación, Cubriste mi cabeza en el día de la batalla.
O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou have covered my head in the day of battle.
8 No concedas, oh Yavé, los deseos del perverso. No promuevas su designio de ser ellos exaltados. (Selah)
Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked man. Do not further his evil device. They exalt themselves. (Selah)
9 En cuanto a la cabeza de los que me rodean, Cúbralos la perversidad de sus propios labios.
As for the head of those who encompass me around, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10 Que caigan sobre ellos carbones encendidos. Que sean echados al fuego En abismos profundos de donde no puedan salir.
Let burning coals fall upon them. Let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits, from where they shall not rise.
11 Que el difamador no sea establecido en la tierra. Que el mal cace velozmente al varón violento.
An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth. Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
12 Yo sé que Yavé defiende la causa del afligido, Y la justicia para el pobre.
I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted man, and justice for the needy.
13 Ciertamente los justos darán gracias a tu Nombre, Los rectos vivirán en tu Presencia.
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to thy name. The upright shall dwell in thy presence.
