< Salmos 141 >

1 Salmo de David. JEHOVÁ, á ti he clamado: apresúrate á mí; escucha mi voz, cuando te invocare.
A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried out to you, hear me. Attend to my voice, when I cry out to you.
2 Sea enderezada mi oración delante de ti como un perfume, el don de mis manos como la ofrenda de la tarde.
Let my prayer be guided like incense in your sight: the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice.
3 Pon, oh Jehová, guarda á mi boca: guarda la puerta de mis labios.
O Lord, station a guard over my mouth and a door enclosing my lips.
4 No dejes se incline mi corazón á cosa mala, á hacer obras impías con los que obran iniquidad, y no coma yo de sus deleites.
Do not turn aside my heart to words of malice, to making excuses for sins, with men who work iniquity; and I will not communicate, even with the best of them.
5 Que el justo me castigue, [será] un favor, y que me reprenda [será] un excelente bálsamo [que] no me herirá la cabeza: así que aun mi oración [tendrán] en sus calamidades.
The just one will correct me with mercy, and he will rebuke me. But do not allow the oil of the sinner to fatten my head. For my prayer will still be toward their good will.
6 Serán derribados en lugares peñascosos sus jueces, y oirán mis palabras, que son suaves.
Their judges have been engulfed, joined to the rocks. They will hear my words, which have prevailed,
7 Como quien hiende y rompe la tierra, son esparcidos nuestros huesos á la boca de la sepultura. (Sheol h7585)
as when the lava of the earth has erupted above ground. Our bones have been scattered beside Hell. (Sheol h7585)
8 Por tanto á ti, oh Jehová Señor, [miran] mis ojos: en ti he confiado, no desampares mi alma.
For Lord, O Lord, my eyes look to you. In you, I have hoped. Do not take away my soul.
9 Guárdame de los lazos que me han tendido, y de los armadijos de los que obran iniquidad.
Protect me from the snare that they have set up for me and from the scandals of those who work iniquity.
10 Caigan los impíos á una en sus redes, mientras yo pasaré adelante.
The sinners will fall into his net. I am alone, until I pass over.
