de Biblica1¡Sálvame, Señor mi Dios, porque en ti busco refugio! ¡Líbrame de todos mis perseguidores!2De lo contrario, me devorarán como leones; me despedazarán, y no habrá quien me libre.3Señor mi Dios, ¿qué es lo que he hecho? ¿qué mal he cometido?4Si le he hecho daño a mi amigo, si he despojado sin razón al que me oprime,5entonces que mi enemigo me persiga y me alcance; que me haga morder el polvo y arrastre mi honra por los suelos. Selah6¡Levántate, Señor, en tu ira; enfréntate al furor de mis enemigos! ¡Despierta, oh Dios, e imparte justicia!7Que en torno tuyo se reúnan los pueblos; reina[1] sobre ellos desde lo alto.8¡El Señor juzgará a los pueblos! Júzgame, Señor, conforme a mi justicia; págame conforme a mi inocencia.9Dios justo, que examinas mente y corazón, acaba con la maldad de los malvados y mantén firme al que es justo.10Mi escudo está en Dios, que salva a los de corazón recto.11Dios es un juez justo, un Dios que en todo tiempo manifiesta su enojo.12Si el malvado no se arrepiente, Dios afilará la espada y tensará el arco;13ya ha preparado sus mortíferas armas; ya tiene listas sus llameantes saetas.14Miren al preñado de maldad: Concibió iniquidad y parirá mentira.15Cavó una fosa y la ahondó, y en esa misma fosa caerá.16Su iniquidad se volverá contra él; su violencia recaerá sobre su cabeza.17¡Alabaré al Señor por su justicia! ¡Al nombre del Señor altísimo cantaré salmos!
1A Shiggaion[1] of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjaminite. O Lord my God, in you do I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers and deliver me, (Sal 11:1; Sal 31:15; Hab 3:1)2lest like a lion they tear my soul apart, rending it in pieces, with none to deliver. (Job 10:16; Sal 50:22)3O Lord my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands, (1 S 24:11; 1 S 26:18; 2 S 16:7; Sal 59:3)4if I have repaid my friend[2] with evil or plundered my enemy without cause, (1 S 24:7; 1 S 26:9; Sal 55:20)5let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it, and let him trample my life to the ground and lay my glory in the dust. (Sal 89:39; Dn 8:7)6Arise, O Lord, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies; awake for me; you have appointed a judgment. (Job 8:6; Sal 3:7; Sal 35:23; Sal 44:23; Sal 59:4; Sal 94:2; Is 33:10)7Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you; over it return on high.8The Lord judges the peoples; judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me. (Sal 18:20; Sal 26:1; Sal 35:24; Sal 43:1; Sal 58:11)9Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end, and may you establish the righteous— you who test the minds and hearts,[3] O righteous God! (1 S 16:7; 1 Cr 28:9; Job 23:10; Sal 11:5; Sal 26:2; Sal 139:1; Jer 11:20; Jer 17:10; Jer 20:12; Ap 2:23)10My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart. (2 Cr 29:34; Sal 62:8)11God is a righteous judge, and a God who feels indignation every day. (Job 8:3; Nah 1:2; Nah 1:6)12If a man[4] does not repent, God[5] will whet his sword; he has bent and readied his bow; (Dt 32:41; Sal 11:2; Sal 21:12; Sal 37:14)13he has prepared for him his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts. (Sal 18:14; Ef 6:16)14Behold, the wicked man conceives evil and is pregnant with mischief and gives birth to lies. (Job 15:35; Is 33:11; Is 59:4; Stg 1:15)15He makes a pit, digging it out, and falls into the hole that he has made. (Sal 9:15; Sal 57:6; Sal 119:85; Pr 26:27; Pr 28:10; Ec 10:8)16His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own skull his violence descends. (Jue 9:24; 1 R 2:32; Est 7:10; Est 9:25; Sal 94:23; Sal 141:10; Pr 5:22)17I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High. (Sal 9:2)
