1 O Lord my God, in You I have put my trust. Save me from all those who come for me, and keep me safe.

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

2 O r they will tear me like a lion, carrying me away where there is no one to help.

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, and there is guilt on my hands,

Jehová Dios mío, si yo he hecho esto, Si hay en mis manos iniquidad;

4 i f I have done wrong to him who was at peace with me, or without a reason have robbed him who worked against me,

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

5 l et him who hates me come for me and catch me. Let him break me under his feet until I die, and lay my honor in the dust.

Persiga el enemigo mi alma, y alcáncela; Huelle en tierra mi vida, Y mi honra ponga en el polvo. Selah

6 R ise up in Your anger, O Lord. Rise up against the anger of those who hate me. Awake, my God, and help me. Prove what is right.

Levántate, oh Jehová, en tu ira; Álzate en contra de la furia de mis angustiadores, Y apréstate a defenderme en el juicio que has convocado.

7 L et the people gather around You, and rule over them from Your throne.

Te rodeará la congregación de las naciones, Y sobre ella vuélvete a sentar en lo alto.

8 M ay the Lord judge which people are guilty or not. O Lord, judge in my favor if I am right with You, and if I am without blame.

Jehová juzgará a los pueblos; Júzgame, oh Jehová, conforme a mi justicia, Y conforme a mi integridad.

9 L et the sins of the sinful stop. But build up those who are right with You. For the God Who is right and good tests both the hearts and the minds.

Que cese ya la maldad de los inicuos; afianza, en cambio, tú al justo; Porque el Dios justo prueba la mente y el corazón.

10 I am kept safe by God, Who saves those who are pure in heart.

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

11 G od is always right in how He judges. He is angry with the sinful every day.

Dios es juez justo, Y Dios está airado contra el impío todos los días.

12 I f a man is not sorry for his sins and will not turn from them, God will make His sword sharp. He will string His bow and make it ready.

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

13 H e takes up His sword and the bow of death. And He makes arrows of fire.

Asimismo ha preparado armas de muerte, Y ha templado al fuego sus saetas.

14 S ee how the sinful man thinks up sins and plans trouble and lies start growing inside him.

He aquí, el impío concibió maldad, Gestó iniquidad, Y dio a luz fraude.

15 H e has dug out a deep hole, and has fallen into the hole he has dug.

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

16 T he trouble he makes will return to him. When he hurts others it will come down on his own head.

Su iniquidad se volverá sobre su cabeza, Y su agravio caerá sobre su propia coronilla.

17 I will give thanks to the Lord because He is right and good. I 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.
