Sigaión de David, que elevó al Señor acerca de Cus el benjaminita.
1¡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 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 a ti 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 flechas.14Mirad 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!
A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjaminite.
1O LORD my God, in you do I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers and deliver me,[1] (Sal 11:1; Sal 31:15)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; 2 S 16:8; 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. Selah (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)
