1 H ear my words, O Lord. Think about my crying.

Escucha, Jehová, mis palabras; considera mi gemir.

2 L isten to my cry for help, my King and my God. For I pray to you.

Atiende a la voz de mi clamor, Rey mío y Dios mío, porque a ti oraré.

3 I n the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my prayers before You and will look up.

Jehová, de mañana oirás mi voz; de mañana me presentaré delante de ti y esperaré.

4 Y ou are not a God Who is pleased with what is bad. The sinful cannot be with You.

Porque tú no eres un Dios que se complace en la maldad, el malo no habitará junto a ti.

5 T he proud cannot stand before You. You hate all who do wrong.

Los insensatos no estarán delante de tus ojos; aborreces a todos los que hacen iniquidad.

6 Y ou destroy those who tell lies. The Lord hates liars and men who kill other people.

Destruirás a los que hablan mentira; al hombre sanguinario y engañador abominará Jehová.

7 B ut as for me, by Your great loving-kindness, I will come into Your house. At Your holy house I will put my face to the ground before You in love and fear.

Mas yo entraré en tu casa por la abundancia de tu misericordia; adoraré con reverencia hacia tu santo Templo.

8 O Lord, lead me in what is right and good, because of the ones who hate me. Make Your way straight in front of me.

Guíame, Jehová, en tu justicia, a causa de mis enemigos; endereza delante de mí tu camino.

9 F or in their talk there is no truth. Their hearts destroy. Their mouths are like an open grave. With their tongues, they say sweet-sounding words that are not true.

En la boca de ellos no hay sinceridad; su interior está lleno de maldad, sepulcro abierto es su garganta, su lengua es mentirosa.

10 H old them guilty, O God! Let them fall by their own plans. Throw them out because of their many sins. For they have fought against You.

¡Castígalos, Dios! ¡Caigan por sus mismas intrigas! Por la multitud de sus transgresiones échalos fuera, porque se rebelaron contra ti.

11 B ut let all who put their trust in You be glad. Let them sing with joy forever. You make a covering for them, that all who love Your name may be glad in You.

Pero alégrense todos los que en ti confían; den voces de júbilo para siempre, porque tú los defiendes; en ti se regocijen los que aman tu nombre.

12 F or You will make those happy who do what is right, O Lord. You will cover them all around with Your favor.

Tú, Jehová, bendecirás al justo; como con un escudo lo rodearás de tu favor.
