- 1
Listen to my prayer, God. Don’t hide yourself from my supplication.
- 2
Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan
- 3
because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.
- 4
My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.
- 5
Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.
- 6
I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
- 7
Behold, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness.” Selah.
- 8
“I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm.”
- 9
Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
- 10
Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.
- 11
Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies don’t depart from her streets.
- 12
For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.
- 13
But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.
- 14
We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God’s house with company.
- 15
Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is among them, in their dwelling.
- 16
As for me, I will call on God. The LORD will save me.
- 17
Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.
- 18
He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.
- 19
God, who is enthroned forever, will hear and answer them. Selah. They never change and don’t fear God.
- 20
He raises his hands against his friends. He has violated his covenant.
- 21
His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
- 22
Cast your burden on the LORD and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.
- 23
But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.

Al Músico principal: en Neginoth: Masquil de David. ESCUCHA, oh Dios, mi oración, y no te escondas de mi súplica.
- 2
Estáme atento, y respóndeme: clamo en mi oración, y levanto el grito,
- 3
A causa de la voz del enemigo, por la opresión del impío; porque echaron sobre mí iniquidad, y con furor me han amenazado.
- 4
Mi corazón está doloroso dentro de mí, y terrores de muerte sobre mí han caído.
- 5
Temor y temblor vinieron sobre mí, y terror me ha cubierto.
- 6
Y dije: ¡Quién me diese alas como de paloma! volaría yo, y descansaría.
- 7
Ciertamente huiría lejos: moraría en el desierto. (Selah.)
- 8
Apresuraríame á escapar del viento tempestuoso, de la tempestad.
- 9
Deshace, oh Señor, divide la lengua de ellos; porque he visto violencia y rencilla en la ciudad.
- 10
Día y noche la rodean sobre sus muros; é iniquidad y trabajo hay en medio de ella.
- 11
Agravios hay en medio de ella, y el fraude y engaño no se apartan de sus plazas.
- 12
Porque no me afrentó un enemigo, lo cual habría soportado; ni se alzó contra mí el que me aborrecía, porque me hubiera ocultado de él:
- 13
Mas tú, hombre, al parecer íntimo mío, mi guía, y mi familiar:
- 14
Que juntos comunicábamos dulcemente los secretos, á la casa de Dios andábamos en compañía.
- 15
Condenados sean á muerte, desciendan vivos al infierno: porque maldades hay en su compañía, entre ellos.
- 16
Yo á Dios clamaré; y Jehová me salvará.
- 17
Tarde y mañana y á medio día oraré y clamaré; y él oirá mi voz.
- 18
El ha redimido en paz mi alma de la guerra contra mí; pues fueron contra mí muchos.
- 19
Dios oirá, y los quebrantará luego, el que desde la antigüedad permanece (Selah); por cuanto no se mudan, ni temen á Dios.
- 20
Extendió sus manos contra sus pacíficos: violó su pacto.
- 21
Ablandan más que manteca su boca, pero guerra hay en su corazón: suavizan sus palabras más que el aceite, mas ellas son cuchillos.
- 22
Echa sobre Jehová tu carga, y él te sustentará; no dejará para siempre caído al justo.
- 23
Mas 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.
