Psalm 17 | Nueva Biblia Viva

Oración de David.

1 Oh, SEÑOR oye mi ruego para que se haga justicia; escucha mi clamor para obtener ayuda; presta oído a mi oración porque sale de un corazón sincero. ¡Presta oído a mi angustioso clamor! 2 Declara mi inocencia, SEÑOR, pues tú conoces a los justos. 3 Has probado mis pensamientos; aun de noche has examinado mi corazón. Has buscado dentro de mí sin hallar nada incorrecto y sabes que he dicho la verdad. 4 He cumplido tus mandatos y no he imitado a los hombres crueles y perversos. 5 Mis pasos no se han desviado de tus sendas; no he dudado en seguirte. 6 Oro así porque sé que me responderás, oh Dios. ¡Sí!, inclinas a mí tu oído y escuchas mi oración. 7 Muéstrame en forma admirable tu gran amor, oh Salvador de cuantos buscan tu auxilio contra sus enemigos. 8 Protégeme como lo harías con la niña de tus ojos; escóndeme bajo la sombra de tus alas. 9 Protégeme de los malvados que me atacan, de los asesinos enemigos que me rodean. 10 Son despiadados y arrogantes. Escúchalos alardear. 11 Se abalanzan contra mí, prontos a derribarme. 12 Son como leones ansiosos de destrozarme; como leoncillos agazapados en busca de su oportunidad. 13 SEÑOR, levántate y haz que caigan de rodillas. Rescátame de los malvados con tu espada. 14 Líbrame con tu poderosa mano de estos mortales cuyo único interés está en la ganancia terrena. Con tus tesoros les has llenado el vientre, sus hijos han tenido abundancia, y hasta ha sobrado para sus descendientes. 15 Pero yo en justicia contemplaré tu rostro; me bastará con verte cuando despierte.

In the Shadow of Your Wings

1 A Prayer of David. Hear a just cause, O Lord; attend to my cry! Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit! 2 From your presence let my vindication come! Let your eyes behold the right! 3 You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night, you have tested me, and you will find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress. 4 With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent. 5 My steps have held fast to your paths; my feet have not slipped. 6 I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me; hear my words. 7 Wondrously show* your steadfast love, O Savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand. 8 Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings, 9 from the wicked who do me violence, my deadly enemies who surround me. 10 They close their hearts to pity; with their mouths they speak arrogantly. 11 They have now surrounded our steps; they set their eyes to cast us to the ground. 12 He is like a lion eager to tear, as a young lion lurking in ambush. 13 Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him! Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword, 14 from men by your hand, O Lord, from men of the world whose portion is in this life.* You fill their womb with treasure;* they are satisfied with children, and they leave their abundance to their infants. 15 As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.
