Psalms 141
1 Yahweh, I call out to you; [please] help me quickly! Listen to me when I am calling to you.
Para el director del coro. Un Salmo de David. ¡Oh, Señor! A ti calmo. ¡Apresúrate a ayudarme! ¡Escucha, por favor, cuando clamo por tu ayuda!
2 Accept my prayer as though it were incense [being burned as an offering] [SIM] to you. And accept me while I lift up my hands [to pray] to you like you accept sacrifices [that I offer to you each] evening [SIM].
Que I oración se eleve como incienso hacia ti. Elevo mis manos como una ofrenda vespertina.
3 Yahweh, do not allow me to say [MTY] things that are wrong; guard my lips.
Señor, no permitas que diga nada indebido. Toma control de mis conversaciones.
4 Prevent me from wanting to do anything that is wrong, and from joining with wicked men when they want to do evil deeds [DOU]. Do not [even] allow me to share in eating delightful food with them!
No me dejes pensar en cosas malas ni tomar parte con los malvados. No participaré en sus fiestas.
5 It is all right if righteous people strike/hit me or rebuke me because they are trying to act kindly toward me [to teach me to do what is right], but I do not want wicked [people] to [honor me by] anointing my head with [olive] oil; I am always praying [that you will punish them because of] the wicked deeds [that they do].
Deja que sea una persona buena la que me castigue con amor y que me corrija. Sería como una unción, y no me negaré a ello. Pero aún así oraré por los que hacen el mal.
6 When their rulers are thrown down from the top of rocky cliffs, people will know that what you, Yahweh, said [about them] is true.
Ellos serán derribados con el poder de la roca que los juzga, y reconocerán que yo digo la verdad.
7 Like a log that is split and cut into small pieces [SIM], their shattered bones will be scattered [on the ground] near [other] graves. (Sheol h7585)
Así como la tierra queda dividida por el arado, así sus huesos serán esparcidos en la boca del Seol. (Sheol h7585)
8 But Yahweh God, I [continue to] ask you [to help me]. I ask you to protect me; do not allow me to (die/be killed) [now]!
Pero yo te busco a ti, Señor y Dios, porque en ti encuentro protección. ¡No me dejes morir!
9 [It is as though] people have set traps for me; protect me from falling into those traps, [It is as though] they have spread nets to catch me; keep me from being caught in those nets.
Mantenme a salvo de la trampa que me han tendido, de las redes de los malvados.
10 I desire that wicked [people] will fall into the traps they have set [to catch me] while I escape [from them].
Déjalos caer en sus propias trampas, pero a mí déjame pasar sin daño alguno.
