1 ¶ Hear righteousness, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that does not go out of feigned lips.

Oye, oh Señor, una causa justa; atiende a mi clamor; presta oído a mi oración, que no es de labios engañosos.

2 L et my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold uprightness.

Que mi vindicación venga de tu presencia; que tus ojos vean con rectitud.

3 T hou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast refined me and hast found no iniquity; that which I thought did not pass through my mouth.

Tú has probado mi corazón, me has visitado de noche; me has puesto a prueba y nada hallaste; he resuelto que mi boca no peque.

4 C oncerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have observed the ways of the violent.

En cuanto a las obras de los hombres, por la palabra de tus labios yo me he guardado de las sendas de los violentos.

5 S ustain my steps in thy ways that my footsteps not slip.

Mis pasos se han mantenido firmes en tus senderos. No han resbalado mis pies.

6 I have called upon thee, because thou dost hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me and hear my speech.

Yo te he invocado, oh Dios, porque tú me responderás; inclina a mí tu oído, escucha mi palabra.

7 S how thy mercy to be marvellous, O Saviour of those who put their trust in thee, from those that rise up against thy right hand.

Muestra maravillosamente tu misericordia, tú que salvas a los que se refugian a tu diestra huyendo de los que se levantan contra ellos.

8 ¶ Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me with the shadow of thy wings,

Guárdame como a la niña de tus ojos; escóndeme a la sombra de tus alas

9 f rom the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.

de los impíos que me despojan, de mis enemigos mortales que me rodean.

10 T hey are closed in with their own fat; with their mouth they speak proudly.

Han cerrado su insensible corazón; hablan arrogantemente con su boca.

11 T hey have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes upon throwing us down to the earth

Ahora nos han cercado en nuestros pasos; fijan sus ojos para echar nos por tierra,

12 l ike as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

como león que ansía despedazar, como leoncillo que acecha en los escondrijos.

13 A rise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, with thy sword;

Levántate, Señor, sal a su encuentro, derríbalo; con tu espada libra mi alma del impío,

14 f rom men, with thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, who have their portion in this life and whose belly thou dost fill with thy provision: they satisfy their sons and leave the rest to their family.

de los hombres, con tu mano, oh Señor, de los hombres del mundo, cuya porción está en esta vida, y cuyo vientre llenas de tu tesoro; se llenan de hijos, y dejan lo que les sobra a sus pequeños.

15 A s for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy likeness.

En cuanto a mí, en justicia contemplaré tu rostro; al despertar, me saciaré cuando contemple tu imagen.
