Psalms 5

1 For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David. Give ear to my words, Yahweh. Consider my (meditation)

Al maestro de coro. Para flautas. Salmo de David. Presta oído a mis palabras, oh Yahvé, atiende a mi gemido;

2 Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to you.

advierte la voz de mi oración, oh Rey mío y Dios mío;

3 Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.

porque es a Ti a quien ruego, Yahvé. Desde la mañana va mi voz hacia Ti; temprano te presento mi oración y aguardo.

4 For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can’t live with you.

Tú no eres un Dios que se complazca en la maldad; el malvado no habita contigo,

5 The arrogant will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.

ni los impíos permanecen en tu presencia. Aborreces a todos los que obran iniquidades;

6 You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

Tú destruyes a todos los que hablan mentiras; del hombre sanguinario y doble abomina Yahvé.

7 But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.

Mas yo, por la abundancia de tu gracia, entraré en tu Casa, en tu santo Templo me postraré con reverencia, oh Yahvé.

8 Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.

A causa de mis enemigos condúceme en tu justicia, y allana tu camino delante de mí;

9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.

porque en su boca no hay sinceridad, su corazón trama insidias, sepulcro abierto es su garganta, y adulan con sus lenguas.

10 Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.

Castígalos, Dios, desbarata sus planes; arrójalos por la multitud de sus crímenes, pues su rebeldía es contra Ti.

11 But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.

Alégrense, empero, los que en Ti se refugian; regocíjense para siempre y gocen de tu protección, y gloríense en Ti cuantos aman tu Nombre.

12 For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.

Pues Tú, Yahvé, bendices al justo, y lo rodeas de tu benevolencia como de un escudo.
