1En mi angustia clamé a YHVH, Y Él me respondió.2¡Oh YHVH, libra mi alma de los labios mentirosos, Y de la lengua fraudulenta!3¿Qué se te dará, o qué te aprovechará, Oh lengua engañosa?4Agudas saetas de valiente, Forjadas con brasas de enebro.5¡Ay de mí, que estoy desterrado en Mesec, Y habito en las tiendas de Cedar!6Mucho tiempo ha morado mi alma Con los que aborrecen la paz.7Yo estoy por la paz, y si hablo, ellos están por la guerra.
1A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me. (Ex 34:24; 1 R 12:27; Is 30:29)2Deliver me, O Lord, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.3What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue? (1 S 3:17)4A warrior’s sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree! (Sal 45:5; Sal 127:4; Sal 140:10; Pr 25:22; Jer 50:9)5Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! (Gn 10:2; Gn 25:13; Cnt 1:5; Is 60:7; Jer 49:28; Ez 27:13; Ez 27:21; Ez 38:2; Ez 39:1)6Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace.7I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war! (Sal 109:4)
