Plegaria pidiendo protección

Al músico principal; sobre Nehilot. Salmo de David.

Escucha, oh Jehová, mis palabras;

Considera mi gemir.

Está atento a la voz de mi clamor, Rey mío y Dios mío,

Porque a ti oraré.

Oh Jehová, de mañana oirás mi voz;

De mañana me presentaré delante de ti, y esperaré.

Porque tú no eres un Dios que se complace en la maldad;

El malo no habitará junto a ti.

Los insensatos no estarán delante de tus ojos;

Aborreces a todos los que hacen iniquidad.

Destruirás a los que hablan mentira;

Al hombre sanguinario y engañador abominará Jehová.

Mas yo por la abundancia de tu misericordia entraré en tu casa;

Adoraré hacia tu santo templo en tu temor.

Guíame, Jehová, en tu justicia, a causa de mis enemigos;

Endereza delante de mí tu camino.

Porque en la boca de ellos no hay sinceridad;

Sus entrañas son maldad,

Sepulcro abierto es su garganta,

Con su lengua hablan lisonjas.(A)

10 Castígalos, oh Dios;

Caigan por sus mismos consejos;

Por la multitud de sus transgresiones échalos fuera,

Porque se rebelaron contra ti.

11 Pero alégrense todos los que en ti confían;

Den voces de júbilo para siempre, porque tú los defiendes;

En ti se regocijen los que aman tu nombre.

12 Porque tú, oh Jehová, bendecirás al justo;

Como con un escudo lo rodearás de tu favor.

Salmo 5

Señor, por la mañana escuchas mi voz

Al maestro del coro; con flautas. Salmo de David.
Señor, escucha mis palabras, atiende mi queja;
Rey mío, Dios mío, oye mi grito de socorro,
que a ti dirijo mi ruego.
Señor, por la mañana escuchas mi súplica;
de madrugada ante ti la presento
y me quedo esperando.
No eres un Dios que desee la maldad,
en ti no encuentra refugio el malvado.
No resisten tu mirada los necios,
odias a los malhechores,
aniquilas a los mentirosos;
al cruel y al traidor, el Señor lo aborrece.
Pero yo, por tu inmenso amor,
acudiré a tu morada
y me postraré venerándote en tu santuario.
Señor, guíame con tu justicia
porque tengo enemigos,
allana ante mí tu camino.
10 No es su boca sincera,
su interior es perverso,
una tumba abierta es su garganta,
aduladora es su lengua.
11 Castígalos, Señor,
que fracasen sus planes;
expúlsalos por sus muchos crímenes,
porque se han rebelado contra ti.
12 ¡Que se alegren los que en ti confían,
que por siempre se regocijen!
Protege a los que te aman,
para que se gocen en ti;
13 porque tú, Señor, bendices al justo
y tu bondad lo rodea como escudo.

A Prayer for Guidance

To the Chief Musician. With [a]flutes. A Psalm of David.

Give (A)ear to my words, O Lord,
Consider my [b]meditation.
Give heed to the voice of my cry,
My King and my God,
For to You I will pray.
My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord;
(B)In the morning I will direct it to You,
And I will look up.

For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness,
Nor shall evil [c]dwell with You.
The (C)boastful shall not (D)stand in Your sight;
You hate all workers of iniquity.
You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;
The Lord abhors the (E)bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;
In fear of You I will worship toward [d]Your holy temple.
(F)Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies;
Make Your way straight before my face.

For there is no [e]faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is destruction;
(G)Their throat is an open tomb;
They flatter with their tongue.
10 Pronounce them guilty, O God!
Let them fall by their own counsels;
Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions,
For they have rebelled against You.

11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout for joy, because You [f]defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You.
12 For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield.

Prayer for Protection from the Wicked.

To the Chief Musician; on wind instruments. A Psalm of David.

Listen to my words, O Lord,
Consider my groaning and sighing.

Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God,
For to You I pray.

In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice;
In the morning I will prepare [a prayer and a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart].


For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness;
No evil [person] dwells with You.

The boastful and the arrogant will not stand in Your sight;
You hate all who do evil.

You destroy those who tell lies;
The Lord detests and rejects the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

But as for me, I will enter Your house through the abundance of Your steadfast love and tender mercy;
At Your holy temple I will bow [obediently] in reverence for You.


O Lord, lead me in Your righteousness because of my enemies;
Make Your way straight (direct, right) before me.

For there is nothing trustworthy or reliable or truthful in what they say;
Their heart is destruction [just a treacherous chasm, a yawning gulf of lies].
Their throat is an open grave;
They [glibly] flatter with their [silken] tongue.(A)
10 
Hold them guilty, O God;
Let them fall by their own designs and councils!
Cast them out because of the abundance of their transgressions,
For they are mutinous and have rebelled against You.

11 
But let all who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice,
Let them ever sing for joy;
Because You cover and shelter them,
Let those who love Your name be joyful and exult in You.
12 
For You, O Lord, bless the righteous man [the one who is in right standing with You];
You surround him with favor as with a shield.
