1 I call upon You, O Lord. Hurry to me! Hear my voice when I call to You!
SEÑOR, a ti he llamado; apresúrate a mí; escucha mi voz, cuando te llamare.
2 M ay my prayer be like special perfume before You. May the lifting up of my hands be like the evening gift given on the altar in worship.
Sea enderezada mi oración delante de ti como incienso, el don de mis manos como el sacrificio de la tarde.
3 O Lord, put a watch over my mouth. Keep watch over the door of my lips.
Pon, oh SEÑOR, guarda a mi boca; guarda la puerta de mis labios.
4 D o not let my heart turn to any sinful thing, to do wrong with men who sin. And do not let me eat their fine food.
No inclines mi corazón a cosa mala, a hacer obras con impiedad con los varones que obran iniquidad; y no coma yo de sus deleites.
5 L et those who are right with God punish me and speak strong words to me in kindness. It is oil upon my head. Do not let my head turn away from it. Yet my prayer is always against the sinful works of those who sin.
¶ Que me hiera el justo con misericordia, y que me reprenda; y halago de príncipe inicuo no unte mi cabeza; porque aun mi oración será contra sus males.
6 W hen their rulers are thrown down from high rocks, they will hear my words, for they are true.
Serán derribados de lugares fuertes sus jueces, y oirán mis palabras, que son suaves.
7 O ur bones have been spread around the mouth of the grave like the broken ground behind the plow.
Como quien hiende y rompe leños en tierra, son esparcidos nuestros huesos a la boca del Seol.
8 F or my eyes are toward You, O God the Lord. In You I have a safe place. Do not leave me without help.
Por tanto a ti, oh DIOS el Señor, miran mis ojos; en ti he confiado, no desampares mi alma.
9 K eep me from the trap they have set for me. Keep me from the nets of those who do wrong.
Guárdame de las manos del lazo que me han tendido, y de los lazos de los que obran iniquidad.
10 L et the sinful fall into their own nets, while I pass by and am safe.
Caigan los impíos a una en sus redes, mientras yo pasaré adelante para siempre.
