Salmos 5

1 Escucha, o! Jehová, mis palabras: entiende mi meditación.

[For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David.] Listen to my words, Jehovah. Consider my (meditation)

2 Está atento a la voz de mi clamor, Rey mío, y Dios mío, porque a ti oraré.

Give attention to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do I pray.

3 Jehová, de mañana oirás mi voz: de mañana me presentaré a ti, y esperaré.

Jehovah, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and watch.

4 Porque tú no eres Dios que quieres la maldad; el malo no habitará junto a ti.

For you are not a God who desires wickedness. Evil can't live with you.

5 No estarán los insensatos delante de tus ojos: a todos los que obran iniquidad, aborreciste.

The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all evildoers.

6 Destruirás a los que hablan mentira: al varón de sangres y de engaño abominará Jehová.

You will destroy those who speak lies. Jehovah despises a person of bloodshed and deceit.

7 Y yo en la multitud de tu misericordia entraré en tu casa: adoraré al santo templo tuyo con tu temor.

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

8 Jehová, guíame en tu justicia a causa de mis enemigos: endereza delante de mí tu camino.

Lead me, Jehovah, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before me.

9 Porque no hay en su boca rectitud: sus entrañas son pravedades: sepulcro abierto su garganta, con su lengua lisonjearán.

For there is nothing reliable in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they flatter.

10 Asuélales, o! Dios, caigan de sus consejos: por la multitud de sus rebeliones échales, porque se rebelaron contra ti.

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

11 Y alegrarse han todos los que esperan en ti; para siempre se regocijarán, y cubrirles has, y alegrarse han en ti los que aman tu nombre.

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

12 Porque tú bendecirás al justo, o! Jehová; como de un pavés le cercarás de benevolencia.

For you bless the righteous, Jehovah. You surround him with favor like a shield.
