1Oh ’Elohim, escucha la voz de mi queja; Preserva mi vida del terror del enemigo.2Ocúltame de la conjura de los perversos, Del tumulto de los que obran iniquidad,3Que afilan la lengua como espada, Y la emplean como saeta envenenada,4Para dispararla en oculto al inocente, Disparan presto sus saetas, sin temor alguno.5Se animan entre sí en sus malas obras; Planean en secreto tender trampas, y dicen: ¿Quién las verá?6Traman cosas perversas, diciendo: ¡Hemos completado un plan bien concebido! Y el íntimo pensamiento de cada uno de ellos, Se corrompe en lo recóndito de su corazón.7Pero ’Elohim les dispara una saeta: De pronto, ya están malheridos;8Los hace tropezar su lengua; Los que asisten se espantarán,9Y temerán todos los hombres, Entonces proclamarán la obra de ’Elohim, Y entenderán sus hechos.10El justo se alegrará en YHVH, y se refugiará en Él, Y todos los rectos de corazón se gloriarán.
1To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy. (Sal 55:2)2Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers, (Sal 55:14)3who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows, (Sal 11:2; Sal 57:4)4shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear. (Sal 10:8; Sal 55:19)5They hold fast to their evil purpose; they talk of laying snares secretly, thinking, “Who can see them?” (Job 22:13; Sal 140:5; Jer 23:14; Ez 13:22)6They search out injustice, saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.” For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep. (Sal 49:11)7But God shoots his arrow at them; they are wounded suddenly. (Sal 7:12; Sal 58:7)8They are brought to ruin, with their own tongues turned against them; all who see them will wag their heads. (Sal 22:7; Sal 40:3; Pr 12:13; Pr 18:7; Jer 18:16; Jer 48:27)9Then all mankind fears; they tell what God has brought about and ponder what he has done. (Sal 64:8; Jer 50:28; Jer 51:10)10Let the righteous one rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him! Let all the upright in heart exult! (Job 22:19; Sal 7:10; Sal 11:1; Sal 32:11)
