Psalms 55
1 For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David. Listen, O God, to my prayer; and disregard not my supplication.
Escucha, o! Dios, mi oración; y no te escondas de mi suplicación.
2 Attend to me, and listen to me: I was grieved in my (meditation) and troubled;
Estáme atento, y respóndeme; que doy voces hablando, y estoy desasosegado,
3 because of the voice of the enemy, and because of the oppression of the sinner: for they brought iniquity against me, and were wrathfully angry with me.
Por la voz del enemigo, por el aprieto del impío; porque echaron sobre mí iniquidad, y con furor me han amenazado.
4 My heart was troubled within me; and the fear of death fell upon me.
Mi corazón está doloroso dentro de mí: y terrores de muerte han caído sobre mí.
5 Fear and trembling came upon me, and darkness covered me.
Temor y temblor vino sobre mí; y terror me ha cubierto.
6 And I said, O that I had wings as [those] of a dove! then would I flee away, and be at rest.
Y dije: ¿Quién me diese alas como de paloma? volaría, y descansaría.
7 Behold! I have fled afar off, and lodged in the wilderness. (Pause)
Ciertamente huiría lejos: moraría en el desierto. (Selah)
8 I waited for him that should deliver me from distress of spirit and tempest.
Apresuraríame a escapar del viento tempestuoso, de la tempestad.
9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen iniquity and gain saying in the city.
Deshace, o! Señor, divide la lengua de ellos: porque he visto violencia y rencilla en la ciudad.
10 Day and night he shall go round about it upon its walls: iniquity and sorrow and unrighteousness [are] in the midst of it;
Día y noche la cercaron sobre sus muros: e iniquidad y trabajo hay en medio de ella.
11 and usury and craft have not failed from its streets.
Agravios hay en medio de ella; y nunca se aparta de sus plazas fraude y engaño.
12 For if an enemy had reproached me, I would have endured it; and if one who hated [me] had spoken vauntingly against me, I would have hid myself from him.
Porque no me afrentó enemigo, que entonces suportára lo: ni el que me aborrecía se engrandeció contra mí, que entonces escondiérame de él.
13 But you, O man like minded, my guide, and my acquaintance,
Mas tú, hombre según mi estimación, mi señor, y mi familiar.
14 who in companionship with me sweetened [our] food: we walked in the house of God in concord.
Porque juntos comunicábamos suavemente los secretos: en la casa de Dios andábamos en compañía.
15 Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into Hades, for iniquity is in their dwellings, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
Condenados sean a muerte, desciendan al infierno vivos: porque hay maldades en su compañía, entre ellos. (Sheol h7585)
16 I cried to God, and the Lord listened to me.
Yo a Dios clamaré; y Jehová me salvará.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon I will declare and make known [my wants]: and he shall hear my voice.
Tarde, y mañana, y a mediodía hablo y estoy gimiendo: y él oirá mi voz.
18 He shall deliver my soul in peace from them that draw near to me: for they were with me in many [cases].
Redimió en paz mi alma de la guerra contra mí; porque muchos fueron contra mí.
19 God shall hear, and bring them low, [even] he that has existed from eternity. (Pause) For they suffer no reverse, and [therefore] they have not feared God.
Dios oirá, y los quebrantará, y el que permanece desde la antigüedad. (Selah) Por cuanto no se mudan, ni temen a Dios.
20 He has reached forth his hand for retribution; they have profaned his covenant.
Extendió sus manos contra sus pacíficos: violó su pacto.
21 They were scattered at the anger of his countenance, and his heart drew near them. His words were smoother than oil, yet are they darts.
Ablandan más que manteca las palabras de su boca, mas guerra en su corazón: enternecen sus palabras más que el aceite, mas ellas son espadas.
22 Cast your care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain you; he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Echa sobre Jehová tu carga, y él te sustentará: no dará para siempre resbalo al justo.
23 But you, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction; bloody and crafty men shall not live out half their days; but I will hope in you, O Lord.
Y tú, o! Dios, les harás descender al pozo de la sepultura; los varones de sangre, y engañadores no llegarán a la mitad de sus días: mas yo confiaré en ti.
