1 H ear what is right, O Lord. Listen to my cry. Hear my prayer, for it does not come from lying lips.

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

2 M ay You decide in my favor. May Your eyes see what is right.

Que de Tu presencia venga mi vindicación; Que Tus ojos vean lo que es justo.

3 Y ou have tested my heart. You have visited me during the night. You have tested me and have found nothing wrong. I have decided that my mouth will not sin.

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 A s for the actions of men, by the word of Your lips, I have kept myself from the paths of those who want to hurt others.

En cuanto a las obras de los hombres, por la palabra de Tus labios Yo me he guardado de los caminos de los violentos.

5 M y steps have followed Your paths. My feet have not turned from them.

Mis pasos se han mantenido firmes en Tus sendas. No han resbalado mis pies.

6 I have called to You, O God, for You will answer me. Listen to me and hear my words.

Yo Te he invocado, oh Dios, porque Tú me responderás; Inclina a mí Tu oído, escucha mi palabra.

7 S how Your great loving-kindness. You save by Your right hand the people that come to You for help from those who hate them.

Muestra maravillosamente Tu misericordia, Oh, Salvador de los que se refugian a Tu diestra Huyendo de los que se levantan contra ellos.

8 K eep me safe as You would Your own eye. Hide me in the shadow of Your wings,

Guárdame como a la niña de Tus ojos; Escóndeme a la sombra de Tus alas

9 f rom the sinful who fight against me, those who would kill me and are all around me.

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

10 T hey have closed their fat hearts to pity. And their mouths speak with pride.

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

11 T hey have followed our every step and are all around us. They are watching for a way to bring us down to the ground.

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

12 H e is like a hungry lion, like a young lion hiding and waiting.

Como león que ansía despedazar, Como leoncillo que acecha en los escondites.

13 R ise up, O Lord. Stand against him. Bring him down. Save me from the sinful with Your sword.

Levántate, Señor, sal a su encuentro, derríbalo; Con Tu espada libra mi alma del impío.

14 O Lord, save me by Your hand from such men. Their riches are in this life. Their stomach is filled with what you have stored for them. Their children are filled. Let them leave some for their babies.

Líbrame de los hombres, con Tu mano, oh Señor, De los hombres del mundo, cuya herencia está en esta vida, Y cuyo vientre llenas de Tu tesoro. Se llenan de hijos, Y dejan lo que les abunda a sus pequeños.

15 A s for me, I will see Your face in what is right and good. I will be happy to see You when I awake.

En cuanto a mí, en justicia contemplaré Tu rostro; Al despertar, me saciaré cuando contemple Tu semblante.
