Salmos, 55

0.

0. To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David.

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

1. 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 to me, and answer me; I am overcome by my trouble. I am distraught

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

3. by the noise of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring trouble upon me, and in anger they cherish enmity against 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 in anguish within me, the terrors of death have fallen upon me.

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

5. Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me.

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

6. And I say, "O that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest;

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

7. yea, I would wander afar, I would lodge in the wilderness, [Selah]

8. Huiría entonces lejos, en el desierto moraría.

8. I would haste to find me a shelter from the raging wind and tempest."

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

9. Destroy their plans, O Lord, confuse their tongues; for I see 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 around it on its walls; and mischief and trouble are within it,

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

11. ruin is in its midst; oppression and fraud do not depart from its market place.

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

12. It is not an enemy who taunts me -- then I could bear it; it is not an adversary who deals insolently with me -- then I could hide 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 is you, my equal, my companion, my familiar friend.

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

14. We used to hold sweet converse together; within God's house we walked in fellowship.

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

15. Let death come upon them; let them go down to Sheol alive; let them go away in terror into their graves.

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

16. But I call upon God; and the LORD will save me.

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

17. Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and he will hear my voice.

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

18. He will deliver my soul in safety from the battle that I wage, for many are arrayed against me.

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

19. God will give ear, and humble them, he who is enthroned from of old; because they keep no law, and do not fear God. [Selah]

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

20. My companion stretched out his hand against his friends, he violated his covenant.

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

21. His speech was smoother than butter, yet war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were 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 your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit 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, wilt cast them down into the lowest pit; men of blood and treachery 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.
