1.Jehová Dios mío, en ti he confiado; Sálvame de todos los que me persiguen, y líbrame,Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge: Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,
2.No sea que desgarren mi alma cual león, Y me destrocen sin que haya quien me libre.Lest they tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3.Jehová Dios mío, si yo he hecho esto, Si hay en mis manos iniquidad;O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands;
4.Si he dado mal pago al que estaba en paz conmigo (Antes he libertado al que sin causa era mi enemigo),If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary;)
5.Persiga el enemigo mi alma, y alcáncela; Huelle en tierra mi vida, Y mi honra ponga en el polvo. SelahLet the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. [[Selah
6.Levántate, oh Jehová, en tu ira; Alzate en contra de la furia de mis angustiadores, Y despierta en favor mío el juicio que mandaste.Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.
7.Te rodeará congregación de pueblos, Y sobre ella vuélvete a sentar en alto.And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high.
8.Jehová juzgará a los pueblos; Júzgame, oh Jehová, conforme a mi justicia, Y conforme a mi integridad.Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.
9.Fenezca ahora la maldad de los inicuos, mas establece tú al justo; Porque el Dios justo prueba la mente y el corazón.O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.
10.Mi escudo está en Dios, Que salva a los rectos de corazón.My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.
11.Dios es juez justo, Y Dios está airado contra el impío todos los días.God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day.
12.Si no se arrepiente, él afilará su espada; Armado tiene ya su arco, y lo ha preparado.If a man turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13.Asimismo ha preparado armas de muerte, Y ha labrado saetas ardientes.He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He maketh his arrows fiery shafts.
14.He aquí, el impío concibió maldad, Se preñó de iniquidad, Y dio a luz engaño.Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15.Pozo ha cavado, y lo ha ahondado; Y en el hoyo que hizo caerá.He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16.Su iniquidad volverá sobre su cabeza, Y su agravio caerá sobre su propia coronilla.His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
17.Alabaré a Jehová conforme a su justicia, Y cantaré al nombre de Jehová el Altísimo.I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.
