Salmos 64

1Al maestro de coro. Salmo de David.

2Oye, oh Dios, mi voz en esta queja; libra mi vida del enemigo aterrador.

3Ampárame contra la conspiración de los malvados; contra la turba de los malhechores,

4que aguzan su lengua como espada, y lanzan su saeta: la palabra venenosa,

5para herir a escondidas al inocente; para alcanzarlo de improviso, a mansalva.

6Afirmados resueltamente en sus perversos designios, se conciertan para tender sus lazos ocultos, diciendo: “¿Quién nos verá?”

7Fraguados los planes dolosos (dicen): “El golpe está bien preparado, procedamos.” ¡Profundo es el pensamiento y el corazón del hombre!

8Pero Dios les manda una saeta, quedan heridos de improviso;

9su propia lengua los arruina, y cuantos los miran menean la cabeza.

10Entonces todos temerán y proclamarán la obra de Dios, y reconocerán que es cosa suya.

11Entretanto el justo se alegrará en Yahvé y en Él confiará; y se gloriarán todos los de corazón recto.

1In finem. Psalmus David.

2[Exaudi, Deus, orationem meam cum deprecor; a timore inimici eripe animam meam.

3Protexisti me a conventu malignantium, a multitudine operantium iniquitatem.

4Quia exacuerunt ut gladium linguas suas; intenderunt arcum rem amaram,

5ut sagittent in occultis immaculatum.

6Subito sagittabunt eum, et non timebunt; firmaverunt sibi sermonem nequam. Narraverunt ut absconderent laqueos; dixerunt: Quis videbit eos?

7Scrutati sunt iniquitates; defecerunt scrutantes scrutinio. Accedet homo ad cor altum,

8et exaltabitur Deus. Sagittæ parvulorum factæ sunt plagæ eorum,

9et infirmatæ sunt contra eos linguæ eorum. Conturbati sunt omnes qui videbant eos,

10et timuit omnis homo. Et annuntiaverunt opera Dei, et facta ejus intellexerunt.

11Lætabitur justus in Domino, et sperabit in eo, et laudabuntur omnes recti corde.]

1Unto the end, a psalm for David.

2Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.

3Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.

4For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,

5To shoot in secret the undefiled.

6They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: they are resolute in wickedness. They have talked of hiding snares; they have said: Who shall see them?

7They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:

8And God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:

9And their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;

10And every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: and understood his doings.

11The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
