Salmos 140
1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. LÍBRAME, oh Jehová, de hombre malo: guárdame de hombre violento;
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, take me out of the power of the evil man; keep me safe from the violent man:
2 Los cuales maquinan males en el corazón, cada día urden contiendas.
For their hearts are full of evil designs; and they are ever making ready causes of war.
3 Aguzaron su lengua como la serpiente; veneno de áspid hay debajo de sus labios. (Selah)
Their tongues are sharp like the tongue of a snake; the poison of snakes is under their lips. (Selah)
4 Guárdame, oh Jehová, de manos del impío, presérvame del hombre injurioso; que han pensado de trastornar mis pasos.
O Lord, take me out of the hands of sinners; keep me safe from the violent man: for they are designing my downfall.
5 Hanme escondido lazo y cuerdas los soberbios; han tendido red junto á la senda; me han puesto lazos. (Selah)
The men of pride have put secret cords for my feet; stretching nets in my way, so that they may take me with their tricks. (Selah)
6 He dicho á Jehová: Dios mío eres tú; escucha, oh Jehová, la voz de mis ruegos.
I have said to the Lord, You are my God: give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my prayer.
7 Jehová Señor, fortaleza de mi salud, tú pusiste á cubierto mi cabeza el día de las armas.
O Lord God, the strength of my salvation, you have been a cover over my head in the day of the fight.
8 No des, oh Jehová, al impío sus deseos; no saques adelante su pensamiento, [que no] se ensoberbezca. (Selah)
O Lord, give not the wrongdoer his desire; give him no help in his evil designs, or he may be uplifted in pride. (Selah)
9 En cuanto á los que por todas partes me rodean, la maldad de sus propios labios cubrirá su cabeza.
As for those who come round me, let their heads be covered by the evil of their lips.
10 Caerán sobre ellos brasas; [Dios] los hará caer en el fuego, en profundos hoyos de donde no salgan.
Let burning flames come down on them: let them be put into the fire, and into deep waters, so that they may not get up again.
11 El hombre deslenguado no será firme en la tierra: el mal cazará al hombre injusto para derribarle.
Let not a man of evil tongue be safe on earth: let destruction overtake the violent man with blow on blow.
12 Yo sé que hará Jehová el juicio del afligido, el juicio de los menesterosos.
I am certain that the Lord will take care of the cause of the poor, and of the rights of those who are troubled.
13 Ciertamente los justos alabarán tu nombre; los rectos morarán en tu presencia.
Truly, the upright will give praise to your name: the holy will have a place in your house.
