< Salmos 17 >

1 Oración de David. OYE, oh Jehová, justicia; está atento á mi clamor; escucha mi oración hecha sin labios de engaño.
A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry; give ear unto my prayer from lips without deceit.
2 De delante de tu rostro salga mi juicio; vean tus ojos la rectitud.
Let my judgment come forth from Thy presence; let Thine eyes behold equity.
3 Tú has probado mi corazón, hasme visitado de noche; me has apurado, y nada inicuo hallaste: heme propuesto que mi boca no ha de propasarse.
Thou hast tried my heart, Thou hast visited it in the night; Thou hast tested me, and Thou findest not that I had a thought which should not pass my mouth.
4 Para las obras humanas, por la palabra de tus labios yo me he guardado de las vías del destructor.
As for the doings of men, by the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.
5 Sustenta mis pasos en tus caminos, porque mis pies no resbalen.
My steps have held fast to Thy paths, my feet have not slipped.
6 Yo te he invocado, por cuanto tú me oirás, oh Dios: inclina á mí tu oído, escucha mi palabra.
As for me, I call upon Thee, for Thou wilt answer me, O God; incline Thine ear unto me, hear my speech.
7 Muestra tus estupendas misericordias, tú que salvas á los que en ti confían de los que se levantan contra tu diestra.
Make passing great Thy mercies, O Thou that savest by Thy right hand from assailants them that take refuge in Thee.
8 Guárdame como lo negro de la niñeta del ojo, escóndeme con la sombra de tus alas,
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me in the shadow of Thy wings,
9 De delante de los malos que me oprimen, de mis enemigos que me cercan por la vida.
From the wicked that oppress, my deadly enemies, that compass me about.
10 Cerrados están con su grosura; con su boca hablan soberbiamente.
Their gross heart they have shut tight, with their mouth they speak proudly.
11 Nuestros pasos nos han cercado ahora: puestos tienen sus ojos para echar[nos] por tierra.
At our every step they have now encompassed us; they set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
12 Parecen al león que desea hacer presa, y al leoncillo que está escondido.
He is like a lion that is eager to tear in pieces, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Levántate, oh Jehová; prevén su encuentro, póstrale: libra mi alma del malo con tu espada;
Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down; deliver my soul from the wicked, by Thy sword;
14 De los hombres con tu mano, oh Jehová, de los hombres de mundo, cuya parte es en [esta] vida, y cuyo vientre hinches de tu tesoro: hartan [sus] hijos, y dejan el resto á sus chiquitos.
From men, by Thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life, and whose belly Thou fillest with Thy treasure; who have children in plenty, and leave their abundance to their babes.
15 Yo en justicia veré tu rostro: seré saciado cuando despertare á tu semejanza.
As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.
