1 A l Músico principal: sobre Nehiloth: Salmo de David. ESCUCHA, oh Jehová, mis palabras; Considera la meditación mía.

Hear my words, O Lord. Think about my crying.

2 E stá atento á la voz de mi clamor, Rey mío y Dios mío, Porque á ti oraré.

Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God. For I pray to you.

3 O h Jehová, de mañana oirás mi voz; De mañana me presentaré á ti, y esperaré.

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

4 P orque tú no eres un Dios que ame la maldad: El malo no habitará junto á ti.

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

5 N o estarán los insensatos delante de tus ojos: Aborreces á todos los que obran iniquidad.

The proud cannot stand before You. You hate all who do wrong.

6 D estruirás á los que hablan mentira: Al hombre de sangres y de engaño abominará Jehová.

You destroy those who tell lies. The Lord hates liars and men who kill other people.

7 Y yo en la multitud de tu misericordia entraré en tu casa: Adoraré hacia el templo de tu santidad en tu temor.

But 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.

8 G uíame, Jehová, en tu justicia á causa de mis enemigos; Endereza delante de mí tu camino.

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.

9 P orque no hay en su boca rectitud: Sus entrañas son pravedades; Sepulcro abierto su garganta: Con su lengua lisonjearán.

For 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.

10 D esbarátalos, oh Dios; Caigan de sus consejos: Por la multitud de sus rebeliones échalos, Porque se rebelaron contra ti.

Hold 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.

11 Y alegrarse han todos los que en ti confían; Para siempre darán voces de júbilo, porque tú los defiendes: Y en ti se regocijarán los que aman tu nombre.

But 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.

12 P orque tú, oh Jehová, bendecirás al justo; Lo cercarás de benevolencia como con un escudo.

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