1Escucha, oh Dios, la voz de mi queja; protégeme del temor al enemigo.2Escóndeme de esa panda de impíos, de esa caterva de malhechores.3Afilan su lengua como espada y lanzan como flechas palabras ponzoñosas.4Emboscados, tiran contra el inocente; le disparan sin temor y sin aviso.5Unos a otros se animan en sus planes impíos, calculan cómo tender sus trampas; y hasta dicen: «¿Quién las verá?»6Maquinan injusticias, y dicen: «¡Hemos tramado un plan perfecto!» ¡Cuán incomprensibles son la mente y los pensamientos humanos!7Pero Dios les disparará sus flechas, y sin aviso caerán heridos.8Su propia lengua será su ruina, y quien los vea se burlará de ellos.9La humanidad entera sentirá temor: proclamará las proezas de Dios y meditará en sus obras.10Que se regocijen en el SEÑOR los justos; que busquen refugio en él; ¡que lo alaben todos los de recto corazón!
1Hear 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 7:13; 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 8:1; 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)
