1 O ye, oh Jehová, una causa justa; está atento a mi clamor. Escucha mi oración hecha de labios sin engaño.

Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

2 D e tu presencia proceda mi vindicación; Vean tus ojos la rectitud.

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.

3 T ú has probado mi corazón, me has inspeccionado de noche; Me has puesto a prueba, y nada inicuo hallaste; He resuelto que mi boca no ha de propasarse.

Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

4 E n cuanto a las obras humanas, por la palabra de tus labios Yo me he guardado de las sendas de los violentos.

Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

5 S ustenta mis pasos en tus caminos, Para que mis pies no resbalen.

Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

6 Y o te he invocado, por cuanto tú me oyes, oh Dios; Inclina a mí tu oído, escucha mi palabra.

I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

7 M uestra tus maravillosas misericordias, tú que salvas a los que se refugian a tu diestra, De los que se levantan contra ellos.

Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

8 G uárdame como a la niña de tus ojos; Escóndeme bajo la sombra de tus alas,

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

9 D e la vista de los malos que me oprimen, De mis enemigos que buscan mi vida.

From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.

10 E nvueltos están con su grosura; Con su boca hablan arrogantemente.

They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.

11 H an cercado ahora nuestros pasos; Tienen puestos sus ojos para echarnos por tierra.

They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

12 S on como león que desea hacer presa, Y como leoncillo que está en su escondite.

Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

13 L evántate, oh Jehová; Sal a su encuentro, póstrales; Libra mi alma de los malos con tu espada,

Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:

14 D e los hombres con tu mano, oh Jehová, De los hombres mundanos, cuya porción la tienen en esta vida, Y cuyo vientre está lleno de bienes que tú les reservas. Sacian a sus hijos, Y aun sobra para sus pequeñuelos.

From men which are thy hand, O Lord, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

15 E n cuanto a mí, veré tu rostro en justicia; Al despertar, me saciaré de tu semblante.

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
