Salmos, 55

1. Del maestro de coro. Para instrumentos de cuerda. Poema. De David.

1. To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

2. Escucha, oh Dios, mi oración, no te retraigas a mi súplica,

2. Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

3. dame oídos, respóndeme, en mi queja me agito. Gimo

3. Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

4. ante la voz del enemigo, bajo el abucheo del impío; pues vierten sobre mí falsedades y con saña me hostigan.

4. My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

5. Se me estremece dentro el corazón, me asaltan pavores de muerte;

5. Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

6. miedo y temblor me invaden, un escalofrío me atenaza.

6. And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then] would I fly away, and be at rest.

7. Y digo: ¡Quién me diera alas como a la paloma para volar y reposar!

7. Lo, [then] would I wander far off, [and] remain in the wilderness. Selah.

8. Huiría entonces lejos, en el desierto moraría.

8. I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and] tempest.

9. En seguida encontraría un asilo contra el viento furioso y la tormenta.

9. Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10. ¡Oh, piérdelos, Señor, enreda sus lenguas!, pues veo discordia y altercado en la ciudad;

10. Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow [are] in the midst of it.

11. rondan día y noche por sus murallas. Y dentro de ella falsedad y malicia,

11. Wickedness [is] in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

12. insidias dentro de ella, jamás se ausentan de sus plazas la tiranía y el engaño.

12. For [it was] not an enemy [that] reproached me; then I could have borne [it]: neither [was it] he that hated me [that] did magnify [himself] against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

13. Si todavía un enemigo me ultrajara, podría soportarlo; si el que me odia se alzara contra mí, me escondería de él.

13. But [it was] thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

14. ¡Pero tú, un hombre de mi rango, mi compañero, mi íntimo,

14. We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked unto the house of God in company.

15. con quien me unía una dulce intimidad, en la Casa de Dios! ¡Oh, váyanse en tumulto,

15. Let death seize upon them, [and] let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among them.

16. caiga la muerte sobre ellos, vivos en el seol se precipiten, pues está el mal instalado en medio de ellos!

16. As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

17. Yo, en cambio, a Dios invoco, y Yahveh me salva.

17. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

18. A la tarde, a la mañana, al mediodía me quejo y gimo: él oye mi clamor.

18. He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle [that was] against me: for there were many with me.

19. En paz mi alma rescata de la guerra que me hacen: aunque sean muchos contra mí,

19. God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

20. Dios escucha y los humilla, él, que reina desde siempre. Pero ellos sin enmienda, y sin temor de Dios.

20. He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.

21. Cada uno extiende su mano contra sus aliados, viola su alianza;

21. [The words] of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war [was] in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet [were] they drawn swords.

22. más blanda que la crema es su boca, pero su corazón es sólo guerra; sus palabras, más suaves que el aceite, son espadas desnudas.

22. Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

23. Descarga en Yahveh tu peso, y él te sustentará; no dejará que para siempre zozobre el justo.

23. But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

24. Y tú, oh Dios, los hundirás en el pozo de la fosa, a los hombres de sangre y de fraude, sin alcanzar la mitad de sus días. Mas yo confío en ti.

24.
