¹Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

¹Al Músico principal: en Neginoth: Masquil de David. ESCUCHA, oh Dios, mi oración, Y no te escondas de mi súplica.

²Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

²Estáme atento, y respóndeme: Clamo en mi oración, y levanto el grito,

³Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

³A causa de la voz del enemigo, Por la opresión del impío; Porque echaron sobre mí iniquidad, Y con furor me han amenazado.

⁴My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

⁴Mi corazón está doloroso dentro de mí, Y terrores de muerte sobre mí han caído.

⁵Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

⁵Temor y temblor vinieron sobre mí, Y terror me ha cubierto.

⁶And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

⁶Y dije: ­Quién me diese alas como de paloma! Volaría yo, y descansaría.

⁷Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.

⁷Ciertamente huiría lejos: Moraría en el desierto. (Selah.)

⁸I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

⁸Apresuraríame á escapar Del viento tempestuoso, de la tempestad.

⁹Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

⁹Deshace, oh Señor, divide la lengua de ellos; Porque he visto violencia y rencilla en la ciudad.

¹⁰Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

¹⁰Día y noche la rodean sobre sus muros; E iniquidad y trabajo hay en medio de ella.

¹¹Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

¹¹Agravios hay en medio de ella, Y el fraude y engaño no se apartan de sus plazas.

¹²For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

¹²Porque no me afrentó un enemigo, Lo cual habría soportado; Ni se alzó contra mí el que me aborrecía, Porque me hubiera ocultado de él:

¹³But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

¹³Mas tú, hombre, al parecer íntimo mío, Mi guía, y mi familiar:

¹⁴We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

¹⁴Que juntos comunicábamos dulcemente los secretos, A la casa de Dios andábamos en compañía.

¹⁵Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

¹⁵Condenados sean á muerte, Desciendan vivos al infierno: Porque maldades hay en su compañía, entre ellos.

¹⁶As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

¹⁶Yo á Dios clamaré; Y Jehová me salvará.

¹⁷Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

¹⁷Tarde y mañana y á medio día oraré y clamaré; Y él oirá mi voz.

¹⁸He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.

¹⁸El ha redimido en paz mi alma de la guerra contra mí; Pues fueron contra mí muchos.

¹⁹God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

¹⁹Dios oirá, y los quebrantará luego, El que desde la antigüedad permanece (Selah); Por cuanto no se mudan, Ni temen á Dios.

²⁰He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.

²⁰Extendió sus manos contra sus pacíficos: Viólo su pacto.

²¹The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

²¹Ablandan más que manteca su boca, Pero guerra hay en su corazón: Suavizan sus palabras más que el aceite, Mas ellas son cuchillos.

²²Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

²²Echa sobre Jehová tu carga, y él te sustentará; No dejará para siempre caído al justo.

²³But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

²³Mas tú, oh Dios, harás descender aquéllos al pozo de la sepultura: Los hombres sanguinarios y engañadores no demediarán sus días: Empero yo confiaré en ti.
