< Salmos 141 >
1 Salmo de David. JEHOVÁ, á ti he clamado: apresúrate á mí; escucha mi voz, cuando te invocare.
A Psalm of David. Jehovah, I have called upon thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
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 set forth before thee as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening oblation.
3 Pon, oh Jehová, guarda á mi boca: guarda la puerta de mis labios.
Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; keep the door of 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.
Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise deeds of wickedness with men that are workers of iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.
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.
Let the righteous smite me, it is kindness; and let him reprove me, it is an excellent oil which my head shall not refuse: for yet my prayer also is [for them] in their calamities.
6 Serán derribados en lugares peñascosos sus jueces, y oirán mis palabras, que son suaves.
When their judges are thrown down from the rocks, they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
7 Como quien hiende y rompe la tierra, son esparcidos nuestros huesos á la boca de la sepultura. (Sheol )
Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth. (Sheol )
8 Por tanto á ti, oh Jehová Señor, [miran] mis ojos: en ti he confiado, no desampares mi alma.
For unto thee, Jehovah, Lord, are mine eyes; in thee do I trust: leave not my soul destitute.
9 Guárdame de los lazos que me han tendido, y de los armadijos de los que obran iniquidad.
Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
10 Caigan los impíos á una en sus redes, mientras yo pasaré adelante.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal pass over.
