< Psalms 141 >

1 I have cried to the, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee.
Salmo de David. JEHOVÁ, á ti he clamado: apresúrate á mí; escucha mi voz, cuando te invocare.
2 Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.
Sea enderezada mi oración delante de ti como un perfume, el don de mis manos como la ofrenda de la tarde.
3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.
Pon, oh Jehová, guarda á mi boca: guarda la puerta de mis labios.
4 Incline not my heart to evil words; to make excuses in sins. With men that work iniquity: and I will not communicate with the choicest of them.
No dejes se incline mi corazón á cosa mala, á hacer obras impías con los que obran iniquidad, y no coma yo de sus deleites.
5 The just shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer also shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased:
Que el justo me castigue, [será] un favor, y que me reprenda [será] un excelente bálsamo [que] no me herirá la cabeza: así que aun mi oración [tendrán] en sus calamidades.
6 Their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed:
Serán derribados en lugares peñascosos sus jueces, y oirán mis palabras, que son suaves.
7 As when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground: Our bones are scattered by the side of hell. (Sheol h7585)
Como quien hiende y rompe la tierra, son esparcidos nuestros huesos á la boca de la sepultura. (Sheol h7585)
8 But o to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.
Por tanto á ti, oh Jehová Señor, [miran] mis ojos: en ti he confiado, no desampares mi alma.
9 Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity.
Guárdame de los lazos que me han tendido, y de los armadijos de los que obran iniquidad.
10 The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.
Caigan los impíos á una en sus redes, mientras yo pasaré adelante.
