1¡Oh Dios de mi alabanza, no ensordezcas!2Porque una boca malvada y una boca engañosa se ha abierto contra mí; Han hablado de mí con lengua mentirosa.3Con palabras de odio me han rodeado, Y pelearon contra mí sin causa.4En pago de mi amor me son adversarios, Aunque yo oraba.5Me devuelven mal por bien, Y odio por mi amor, diciendo:6¡Levanta sobre él al impío, Y sea Satanás a su diestra!7¡Salga culpable cuando sea juzgado, Y conviértase su oración en pecado!8¡Sean pocos sus días, Y tome otro su oficio!9¡Sean sus hijos huérfanos, Y su mujer viuda!10¡Vaguen errantes sus hijos y mendiguen, Y busquen su pan expulsados de sus ruinas!11¡Apodérense usureros de todo lo que tiene, Y extraños saqueen su trabajo!12No tenga quien le haga misericordia, Ni haya quien se compadezca de sus huérfanos.13¡Sea exterminada su posteridad! ¡Sea su nombre borrado en la segunda generación!14Venga en memoria ante YHVH la iniquidad de sus padres, Y no sea borrado el pecado de su madre;15Estén siempre delante de YHVH, Para que Él corte de la tierra su memoria,16Por cuanto no se acordó de hacer misericordia, Sino que persiguió al hombre afligido y menesteroso, Al quebrantado de corazón, para darle muerte.17Amó la maldición, y ésta le sobrevino, Rehusó la bendición, y ella se alejó de él.18Como de su manto, se vistió de maldición, Y ella entró como agua en sus entrañas, Como aceite en sus huesos.19¡Séale cual vestido que lo cubra, Y como cinto que lo ciña siempre!20Así pague YHVH a los que me acusan, A los que dicen mal contra mi alma.21Tú, en cambio, oh YHVH, Señor mío, Trata conmigo por amor de tu Nombre, Líbrame, porque tu misericordia es buena.22Porque yo estoy afligido y necesitado, Y mi corazón está herido dentro de mí.23Voy pasando cual sombra que declina, Me sacuden como a la langosta.24Se me doblan las rodillas a causa del ayuno, Y mi carne desfallece por falta de gordura.25Soy la burla de ellos, Me miran, y menean la cabeza.26¡Ayúdame YHVH Dios mío! ¡Sálvame conforme a tu misericordia!27Entiendan que ésta es tu mano, Que Tú, oh YHVH, has hecho esto.28Maldigan ellos, pero Tú bendice, Se han levantado, pero serán avergonzados, Y tu siervo se alegrará.29Mis acusadores serán vestidos de infamia, Y la confusión los envolverá como un manto.30Daré gracias a YHVH en gran manera con mi boca, En medio de muchos lo alabaré,31Porque Él se puso a la diestra del pobre, Para salvar su alma de los que lo juzgan.
1To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Be not silent, O God of my praise! (Dt 10:21; Sal 28:1; Sal 71:6; Jer 17:14)2For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues. (Sal 52:4)3They encircle me with words of hate, and attack me without cause. (Sal 69:4)4In return for my love they accuse me, but I give myself to prayer.[1] (Sal 38:20; Sal 69:13)5So they reward me evil for good, and hatred for my love. (Sal 35:12)6Appoint a wicked man against him; let an accuser stand at his right hand. (1 Cr 21:1; Job 30:12; Sal 35:4; Sal 69:22; Zac 3:1)7When he is tried, let him come forth guilty; let his prayer be counted as sin! (Pr 15:8; Pr 21:27; Pr 28:9)8May his days be few; may another take his office! (Nm 4:16; 1 Cr 24:3; Sal 55:23; Hch 1:20)9May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow! (Ex 22:24)10May his children wander about and beg, seeking food far from the ruins they inhabit! (Gn 4:12; Sal 37:25; Sal 59:15)11May the creditor seize all that he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil! (Dt 28:43)12Let there be none to extend kindness to him, nor any to pity his fatherless children! (Job 5:4; Sal 36:10)13May his posterity be cut off; may his name be blotted out in the second generation! (Sal 21:10; Pr 10:7)14May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out! (Ex 20:5; Neh 4:5; Jer 18:23)15Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth! (Sal 34:16; Sal 90:8)16For he did not remember to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and the brokenhearted, to put them to death. (Sal 34:18; Sal 40:17; Sal 109:22)17He loved to curse; let curses come[2] upon him! He did not delight in blessing; may it be far[3] from him! (Pr 14:14; Ez 35:6)18He clothed himself with cursing as his coat; may it soak[4] into his body like water, like oil into his bones! (Nm 5:22; Sal 73:6; Sal 109:29)19May it be like a garment that he wraps around him, like a belt that he puts on every day!20May this be the reward of my accusers from the Lord, of those who speak evil against my life! (Sal 109:6; Sal 109:29)21But you, O God my Lord, deal on my behalf for your name’s sake; because your steadfast love is good, deliver me! (Sal 23:3; Sal 63:3; Sal 69:16; Jer 14:7)22For I am poor and needy, and my heart is stricken within me. (Sal 109:16)23I am gone like a shadow at evening; I am shaken off like a locust. (Ex 10:19; Neh 5:13; Job 38:13; Sal 102:11)24My knees are weak through fasting; my body has become gaunt, with no fat. (Job 16:8; Sal 35:13)25I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they wag their heads. (Sal 22:6; Sal 22:7; Sal 69:19)26Help me, O Lord my God! Save me according to your steadfast love! (Sal 119:86)27Let them know that this is your hand; you, O Lord, have done it! (Job 37:7)28Let them curse, but you will bless! They arise and are put to shame, but your servant will be glad! (2 S 16:12; Is 65:14)29May my accusers be clothed with dishonor; may they be wrapped in their own shame as in a cloak! (Job 8:22; Sal 35:26; Sal 71:13; Sal 109:18)30With my mouth I will give great thanks to the Lord; I will praise him in the midst of the throng. (Sal 22:25)31For he stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save him from those who condemn his soul to death. (Sal 16:8; Sal 109:6)
