Salmos, 141

1. Señor, te llamo, ven a mí sin demora, oye mi voz cuando te grito.

1. The understanding of David. A prayer, when he was in the cave.

2. ¡Suba a ti mi oración como el incienso, mis manos que a ti levanto sean como la ofrenda de la tarde!

2. With my voice, I cried out to the Lord. With my voice, I made supplication to the Lord.

3. Pon, Señor, una guardia ante mi boca y vigila la puerta de mis labios.

3. In his sight, I pour out my prayer, and before him, I declare my tribulation.

4. Mi corazón no inclines a obras malas, que en negocios oscuros no me meta con los que hacen el mal. ¡No me dejes probar sus golosinas!

4. Though my spirit may become faint within me, even then, you have known my paths. Along this way, which I have been walking, they have hidden a snare for me.

5. Que el justo me golpee y me corrija y el óleo de los malos no luzca en mi cabeza. mi oración denunciará siempre sus crímenes.

5. I considered toward the right, and I looked, but there was no one who would know me. Flight has perished before me, and there is no one who has concern for my soul.

6. Sus jefes fueron echados desde el peñón, comprendieron entonces que hablaba con bondad;

6. I cried out to you, O Lord. I said: You are my hope, my portion in the land of the living.

7. cuando la tierra se abrió a sus pies, sus huesos tapizaron la entrada del infierno.

7. Attend to my supplication. For I have been humbled exceedingly. Free me from my persecutors, for they have been fortified against me.

8. Adonai Señor, hacia ti vuelvo mis ojos, en ti me refugio, no expongas mi vida.

8. Lead my soul out of confinement in order to confess your name. The just are waiting for me, until you repay me.
