Psalm 7 | Nueva Biblia Viva

Sigaión de David, que elevó al Señor acerca de Cus el benjaminita.

1 En tus manos me he puesto, oh SEÑOR, Dios mío, para que me salves de mis perseguidores. 2 No dejes que me devoren como leones, que me despedacen y me arrastren sin nadie que me libre. 3 Distinto sería, SEÑOR, si yo estuviera haciendo lo malo; si fuera injusto, 4 o si le hiciera daño a un amigo, o si a mi enemigo le quitaran sin razón lo que es suyo. 5 Entonces sí tendrías razón en permitir que mis enemigos me persigan y me alcancen, y pisoteen mi honra en el polvo. 6 ¡Pero, SEÑOR, levántate airado contra la furia de mis enemigos! ¡Despierta! Exige que se me haga justicia, SEÑOR. 7 Reúne a todas las naciones delante de ti; siéntate muy por encima de ellos y juzga sus pecados. 8 Pero justifícame en público; establece mi honra y mi verdad ante todos ellos. 9 Pon fin a toda maldad, SEÑOR, y bendice a todos los que genuinamente te adoran porque tú, el justo Dios, miras hasta lo profundo del corazón de todo hombre y mujer, y examinas todas sus intenciones y pensamientos. 10 Dios es mi escudo. Él salva a los de corazón recto y puro. 11 Dios es un juez perfectamente justo; su ira contra los malvados es constante. 12 A menos que se arrepientan, él afilará su espada y tensará su arco; 13 ha preparado mortíferas armas y flechas de fuego. 14 El malvado concibe un plan perverso; está preñado de maldad y da a luz mentira; 15 que caiga él en su propia fosa que cavó para que cayeran otros. 16 Que la violencia que pensó para el prójimo, se vuelva contra él. 17 ¡Cuán grande es mi gratitud para con el SEÑOR, por su justicia! Entonaré alabanzas al nombre del SEÑOR que está por sobretodos los señores.

In You Do I Take Refuge

1 A Shiggaion* 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, 2 lest like a lion they tear my soul apart, rending it in pieces, with none to deliver. 3 O Lord my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands, 4 if I have repaid my friend* with evil or plundered my enemy without cause, 5 let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it, and let him trample my life to the ground and lay my glory in the dust. 6 Arise, O Lord, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies; awake for me; you have appointed a judgment. 7 Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you; over it return on high. 8 The Lord judges the peoples; judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me. 9 Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end, and may you establish the righteous— you who test the minds and hearts,* O righteous God! 10 My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart. 11 God is a righteous judge, and a God who feels indignation every day. 12 If a man* does not repent, God* will whet his sword; he has bent and readied his bow; 13 he has prepared for him his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts. 14 Behold, the wicked man conceives evil and is pregnant with mischief and gives birth to lies. 15 He makes a pit, digging it out, and falls into the hole that he has made. 16 His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own skull his violence descends. 17 I 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.
