El fiel amor de Dios

Al director. Al servidor del SEÑOR. A David.

En lo profundo de su corazón
    el pecado convence al perverso de hacer el mal;
no le teme a Dios
    ni lo respeta.
Se mienten a sí mismos;
    no ven sus faltas,
    y por eso no se sienten mal por lo que hacen.
Sus palabras son sólo maldad y traición;
    han dejado de obrar con sensatez y de hacer el bien.
Cuando se van a dormir,
    planean el mal que van a hacer.
Al otro día se levantan dispuestos a hacer el mal
    y no cesan de hacerlo.

SEÑOR, tu fiel amor llega hasta el cielo,
    tu fidelidad hasta las nubes.
Tu justicia es como las montañas más altas
    y tus sentencias más profundas como el amplio océano.
Tú, SEÑOR, eres quien protege a los seres humanos y a los animales.
    No hay nada más precioso que tu fiel amor.
Los seres humanos buscan protección
    bajo tus alas.
Se alegran con todo lo bueno que hay en tu casa,
    y les permites beber de tu río de placeres.
Tú eres fuente de vida
    y vemos la luz porque tú nos iluminas.

10 Muestra tu fiel amor a los que te conocen
    y tu justicia a los honestos.
11 SEÑOR, no me dejes caer en la trampa de gente arrogante,
    ni permitas que me hagan salir huyendo.

12 Desde aquí puedo ver que han caído los perversos.
    Quedaron aplastados y no se levantarán más.

  1. Salmo 37 El texto de este Salmo en hebreo es un poema acróstico, o sea que sigue el orden de las letras del alfabeto.

36 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O Lord, thou preservest man and beast.

How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

Psalm 36[a]

For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord.

I have a message from God in my heart
    concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:[b](A)
There is no fear(B) of God
    before their eyes.(C)

In their own eyes they flatter themselves
    too much to detect or hate their sin.(D)
The words of their mouths(E) are wicked and deceitful;(F)
    they fail to act wisely(G) or do good.(H)
Even on their beds they plot evil;(I)
    they commit themselves to a sinful course(J)
    and do not reject what is wrong.(K)

Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
    your faithfulness(L) to the skies.(M)
Your righteousness(N) is like the highest mountains,(O)
    your justice like the great deep.(P)
    You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.(Q)
How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!(R)
    People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.(S)
They feast on the abundance of your house;(T)
    you give them drink from your river(U) of delights.(V)
For with you is the fountain of life;(W)
    in your light(X) we see light.

10 Continue your love(Y) to those who know you,(Z)
    your righteousness to the upright in heart.(AA)
11 May the foot of the proud not come against me,
    nor the hand of the wicked(AB) drive me away.
12 See how the evildoers lie fallen—
    thrown down, not able to rise!(AC)
