Salmos 109

1 ¡O Dios de mi alabanza! no calles:

For the end, a Psalm of David. For the end, a Psalm of David. O God, pass not over my praise in silence;

2 Porque boca de impío, y boca de engañador se han abierto sobre mí: han hablado de mí con lengua mentirosa.

for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the crafty [man] have been opened against me: they have spoken against me with a crafty tongue.

3 Y con palabras de odio me rodearon; y pelearon contra mí sin causa.

And they have compassed me with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

4 En pago de mi amor me han sido adversarios; y yo, hacía oración.

Instead of loving me, they falsely accused me: but I continued to pray.

5 Y pusieron contra mí mal por bien; y odio por mi amor.

And they rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

6 Pon sobre él al impío, y Satanás esté a su diestra.

Set thou a sinner against him; and let the devil stand at his right hand.

7 Cuando fuere juzgado, salga por impío, y su oración sea para pecado.

When he is judged, let him go forth condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

8 Sean sus días pocos: tome otro su oficio.

Let his days be few: and let another take his office of overseer.

9 Sean sus hijos huérfanos; y su mujer viuda.

Let his children be orphans, and his wife a widow.

10 Y anden sus hijos vagabundos, y mendiguen; y procuren de sus desiertos.

Let his children wander without a dwelling-place, and beg: let them be cast out of their habitations.

11 Enrede el acreedor todo lo que tiene; y extraños saqueen su trabajo.

Let [his] creditor exact all that belongs to him: and let strangers spoil his labours.

12 No tenga quien le haga misericordia; ni haya quien tenga compasión de sus huérfanos.

Let him have no helper; neither let there be any one to have compassion on his fatherless children.

13 Su posteridad sea talada: en segunda generación sea raído su nombre.

Let his children be [given up] to utter destruction: in one generation let his name be blotted out.

14 Venga en memoria cerca de Jehová la maldad de sus padres; y el pecado de su madre no sea raído.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

15 Estén delante de Jehová siempre; y él corte de la tierra su memoria.

Let them be before the Lord continually; and let their memorial be blotted out from the earth.

16 Por cuanto no se acordó de hacer misericordia; y persiguió al varón afligido, y menesteroso, y quebrantado de corazón, para matarle.

Because he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the needy and poor man, and [that] to slay him that was pricked in the heart.

17 Y amó la maldición, y vínole; y no quiso la bendición, y ella se alejó de él.

He loved cursing also, and it shall come upon him; and he took not pleasure in blessing, so it shall be removed far from him.

18 Y vistióse de maldición como de su vestido; y entró como agua en sus entrañas, y como aceite en sus huesos.

Yea, he put on cursing as a garment, and it is come as water into his bowels, and as oil into his bones.

19 Séale como vestido con que se cubra; y en lugar de cinto con que siempre se ciña.

Let it be to him as a garment which he puts on, and as a girdle with which he girds himself continually.

20 Este sea el salario, de parte de Jehová, de los que me calumnían; y los que hablan mal contra mi alma.

This is the dealing of the Lord with those who falsely accuse me, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

21 Y tú, Jehová Señor, haz conmigo por causa de tu nombre: escápame, porque tu misericordia es buena.

But thou, O Lord, Lord, deal [mercifully] with me, for thy name's sake: for thy mercy is good.

22 Porque yo soy afligido y necesitado; y mi corazón está herido dentro de mí.

Deliver me, for I am poor and needy; and my heart is troubled within me.

23 Como la sombra cuando declina me voy; soy sacudido como langosta.

I am removed as a shadow in its going down: I am tossed up and down like locusts.

24 Mis rodillas están enflaquecidas a causa del ayuno; y mi carne está falta de gordura.

My knees are weakened through fasting, and my flesh is changed by reason of [the want of] oil.

25 Yo he sido a ellos oprobio: mirábanme, y meneaban su cabeza.

I became also a reproach to them: [when] they saw me they shook their heads.

26 Ayúdame, Jehová Dios mío: sálvame conforme a tu misericordia;

Help me, O Lord my God; and save me according to thy mercy.

27 Y entiendan que esta es tu mano; que tú, Jehová, has hecho esto.

And let them know that this is thy hand; and [that] thou, Lord, hast wrought it.

28 Maldigan ellos, y bendigas tú; levántense, mas sean avergonzados: y tu siervo sea alegrado.

Let them curse, but thou shalt bless: let them that rise up against me be ashamed, but let thy servant rejoice.

29 Sean vestidos de vergüenza los que me calumnían; y sean cubiertos como de manto de su confusión.

Let those that falsely accuse me be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.

30 Yo alabaré a Jehová en gran manera con mi boca; y en medio de muchos le loaré:

I will give thanks to the Lord abundantly with my mouth; and in the midst of many I will praise him.

31 Porque él se pondrá a la diestra del pobre; para librar su alma de los que juzgan.

For he stood on the right hand of the poor, to save [me] from them that persecute my soul.
