0. To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1. Del maestro de coro. Salmo. De David.

1. Blessed is he who considers the poor! The LORD delivers him in the day of trouble;

2. ¡Dichoso el que cuida del débil y del pobre! En día de desgracia le libera Yahveh;

2. the LORD protects him and keeps him alive; he is called blessed in the land; thou dost not give him up to the will of his enemies.

3. Yahveh le guarda, vida y dicha en la tierra le depara, y no le abandona a la saña de sus enemigos;

3. The LORD sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness thou healest all his infirmities.

4. le sostiene Yahveh en su lecho de dolor; tú rehaces entera la postración en que se sume.

4. As for me, I said, "O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against thee!"

5. Yo he dicho: «Tenme piedad, Yahveh, sana mi alma, pues contra ti he pecado!»

5. My enemies say of me in malice: "When will he die, and his name perish?"

6. Mis enemigos hablan mal contra mí: «¿Cuándo se morirá y se perderá su nombre?»

6. And when one comes to see me, he utters empty words, while his heart gathers mischief; when he goes out, he tells it abroad.

7. Si alguien viene a verme, habla de cosas fútiles, el corazón repleto de maldad, va a murmurar afuera.

7. All who hate me whisper together about me; they imagine the worst for me.

8. A una cuchichean contra mí todos los que me odian, me achacan la desgracia que me aqueja:

8. They say, "A deadly thing has fastened upon him; he will not rise again from where he lies."

9. «Cosa de infierno ha caído sobre él, ahora que se ha acostado, ya no ha de levantarse.»

9. Even my bosom friend in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, has lifted his heel against me.

10. Hasta mi amigo íntimo en quien yo confiaba, el que mi pan comía, levanta contra mí su calcañar.

10. But do thou, O LORD, be gracious to me, and raise me up, that I may requite them!

11. Mas tú, Yahveh, tenme piedad, levántame y les daré su merecido;

11. By this I know that thou art pleased with me, in that my enemy has not triumphed over me.

12. en esto sabré que tú eres mi amigo: si mi enemigo no lanza más su grito contra mí;

12. But thou hast upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in thy presence for ever.

13. y a mí me mantendrás en mi inocencia, y ante tu faz me admitirás por siempre.

13. Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! Amen and Amen.

14. ¡Bendito sea Yahveh, Dios de Israel, desde siempre hasta siempre! ¡Amén! ¡Amén!
