1 S EÑOR Dios mío, en ti he confiado; sálvame de todos los que me persiguen, y líbrame;

Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

2 n o sea que arrebaten mi alma, como león que despedaza, sin que haya quien libre.

lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.

3 S EÑOR Dios mío, si yo he hecho esto, si hay en mis manos iniquidad;

Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,

4 s i di mal pago al pacífico conmigo, que escape mi perseguidor sin pago.

if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, if I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),

5 P ersiga el enemigo mi alma, y alcáncela; y pise en tierra mi vida, y mi honra ponga en el polvo. (Selah.)

let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.

6 L evántate, oh SEÑOR, con tu furor; álzate a causa de las iras de mis angustiadores, y despierta en favor mío el juicio que mandaste.

Arise, Yahweh, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.

7 Y te rodeará ayuntamiento de pueblos; por causa pues de él vuélvete en alto.

Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.

8 E l SEÑOR juzgará los pueblos; júzgame, oh SEÑOR, conforme a mi justicia y conforme a mi integridad.

Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

9 C onsuma ahora mal a los malos, y establece al justo; pues el Dios justo es el que prueba los corazones y los riñones.

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.

10 ¶ Mi escudo es en Dios, el que salva a los rectos de corazón.

My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

11 D ios es el que juzga al justo; y Dios está airado contra los impíos todos los días.

God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.

12 S i no se volviere, él afilará su espada; armado tiene ya su arco, y lo ha preparado.

If a man doesn’t relent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.

13 A simismo ha aparejado para él armas de muerte; ha labrado sus saetas para los que persiguen.

He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.

14 H e aquí ha tenido parto de iniquidad; concibió de su propio trabajo, y dio a luz mentira.

Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.

15 P ozo ha cavado, y lo ha ahondado; y en la fosa que hizo caerá.

He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.

16 S u trabajo se tornará sobre su cabeza, y su agravio descenderá sobre su mollera.

The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.

17 A labaré yo al SEÑOR conforme a su justicia, y cantaré al nombre del SEÑOR el Altísimo.

I will give thanks to Yahweh according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High.
