1 O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

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

2 L est he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

no sea que desgarren mi alma cual león y me destrocen sin que haya quien me libre.

3 O Lord my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

Jehová, Dios mío, si de algo soy culpable, si hay en mis manos iniquidad,

4 I f I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

si he dado mal pago al que estaba en paz conmigo (al contrario, he libertado al que sin causa era mi enemigo),

5 L et the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

que me persiga el enemigo y me alcance, que pisotee en tierra mi vida y mi honra ponga en el polvo. Selah

6 A rise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

¡Levántate, Jehová, en tu ira! ¡Álzate en contra de la furia de mis angustiadores y despierta en favor mío el juicio que mandaste!

7 S o shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

Te rodeará una congregación de pueblos y sobre ella vuélvete a sentar en alto.

8 T he Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

Jehová juzgará a los pueblos. Júzgame, Jehová, conforme a mi justicia y conforme a mi integridad.

9 O h let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

Termine ahora la maldad de los malvados, mas establece tú al justo, porque el Dios justo prueba la mente y el corazón.

10 M y defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

Mi escudo está en Dios, que salva a los rectos de corazón.

11 G od judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

Dios es juez justo; y Dios está airado contra el impío todos los días.

12 I f he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

Si no se arrepiente, él afilará su espada; armado tiene ya su arco y lo ha preparado.

13 H e hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

Asimismo ha preparado armas de muerte y ha hecho saetas ardientes.

14 B ehold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

El impío concibió maldad, se preñó de iniquidad y dio a luz engaño.

15 H e made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

Pozo ha cavado y lo ha ahondado; pero en el hoyo que hizo, caerá.

16 H is mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

¡Su iniquidad recaerá sobre su cabeza y su agravio caerá sobre su propia coronilla!

17 I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.

Alabaré a Jehová conforme a su justicia y cantaré al nombre de Jehová, el Altísimo.
