1 O God, hear my voice when I complain. Keep my life safe from the fear of those who hate me.

Escucha mi voz, oh Dios, en mi queja; Guarda mi vida del terror del enemigo.

2 H ide me from the secret plans of the sinful and from the noise of those who do bad things.

Escóndeme de los planes secretos de los malhechores, Del asalto de los obradores de iniquidad,

3 T hey have made their tongues sharp like a sword. They use poison words like arrows.

Que afilan su lengua como espada, Y lanzan palabras amargas como flecha,

4 T hey shoot at the man without blame from their hiding place. They are quick to shoot at him and are not afraid.

Para herir en oculto al íntegro; Lo hieren repentinamente, y no temen.

5 T hey talk each other into doing sinful things. They talk about setting hidden traps. They say, “Who will see them?”

Se aferran en propósitos malignos; Hablan de tender trampas en secreto, Y dicen: “¿Quién las verá ?”

6 T hey think of ways to do bad things, and say, “We have made a perfect plan!” For the inside thoughts and the heart of a man are deep.

Traman injusticias, diciendo: “Estamos listos con una trama bien concebida; Pues los pensamientos del hombre y su corazón son profundos.”

7 B ut God will shoot at them with an arrow. They will be hurt very soon.

Pero Dios les disparará con flecha; Repentinamente serán heridos.

8 T hey will be made to trip and fall. Their own tongue is against them. All who see them will shake their heads.

Vuelven su lengua tropezadero contra sí mismos; Todos los que los vean moverán la cabeza.

9 T hen all men will be afraid. They will tell about the work of God. And they will think about what He has done.

Entonces todos los hombres temerán, Declararán la obra de Dios Y considerarán sus hechos.

10 T he man who is right and good will be glad in the Lord and go to Him to be safe. All those whose hearts are right will give Him praise.

El justo se alegrará en el Señor, y en El se refugiará; Y todos los rectos de corazón se gloriarán.
