Psalm 140 | English Standard Version

Deliver Me, O Lord, from Evil Men

1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men; preserve me from violent men, 2 who plan evil things in their heart and stir up wars continually. 3 They make their tongue sharp as a serpent’s, and under their lips is the venom of asps. 4 Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men, who have planned to trip up my feet. 5 The arrogant have hidden a trap for me, and with cords they have spread a net;* beside the way they have set snares for me. 6 I say to the Lord, You are my God; give ear to the voice of my pleas for mercy, O Lord! 7 O Lord, my Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle. 8 Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked; do not further their* evil plot, or they will be exalted! 9 As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them! 10 Let burning coals fall upon them! Let them be cast into fire, into miry pits, no more to rise! 11 Let not the slanderer be established in the land; let evil hunt down the violent man speedily! 12 I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and will execute justice for the needy. 13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name; the upright shall dwell in your presence.

La Biblia Textual

Al director del coro. Salmo de David.

1 ¡Líbrame, oh YHVH, del malvado, Y guárdame del violento! 2 Quienes maquinan males en su corazón, Y cada día provocan contiendas, 3 Aguzan su lengua como serpiente, Veneno de víbora hay debajo de sus labios. Selah 4 Defiéndeme, oh YHVH, de la mano perversa, Guárdame de los hombres violentos, Que planean trastornar mis pasos. 5 Soberbios que me esconden trampa, que me tienden lazos, Junto al sendero han puesto la trampa. Selah 6 Digo a YHVH: Tú eres mi Dios, Oye, oh YHVH, la voz de mis súplicas. 7 Oh YHVH Adonay, fortaleza de mi salvación, Que cubres mi cabeza en el día de las armas. 8 No concedas, oh YHVH, los deseos del impío, No permitas que sus designios salgan adelante, ¡no se exalten! Selah 9 En cuanto a los que por todas partes me rodean, La malicia de sus propios labios cubrirá sus cabezas. 10 Carbones encendidos caerán sobre ellos: Serán echados al fuego en abismos profundos, De donde no se levantarán. 11 El hombre de mala lengua no se afianzará en la tierra, Y el mal perseguirá al varón violento. 12 Yo sé que YHVH tomará a cargo suyo la causa del afligido, Y el derecho de los pobres. 13 Ciertamente los justos darán gracias a tu Nombre, Los rectos morarán en tu presencia.
