Salmos 109
La Palabra (España)
Salmo 109 (108)
Dios, no te quedes callado
109 Al maestro del coro. Salmo de David.
No te quedes callado, Dios de mi alabanza,
2 que las bocas malvadas y embusteras
se han abierto contra mí,
con mentiras me han hablado.
3 Con palabras de odio me acosan,
me atacan sin motivo alguno.
4 En pago de mi amistad, me acusan
y yo no hago sino interceder por ellos.
5 Me devuelven mal por bien,
odio en pago de mi amor.
[Dicen:]
6 “Nombra en su contra a un malvado,
que en lugar de abogado tenga un fiscal,
7 que al juzgarlo lo condenen,
que su demanda se torne en condena.
8 Que sea breve su vida,
que otro ocupe su cargo;
9 queden huérfanos sus hijos,
quede viuda su esposa;
10 que sus hijos vaguen y mendiguen,
que los echen de sus casas en ruinas.
11 Que el acreedor le embargue cuanto tiene,
que saquee sus bienes gente extraña,
12 que no haya quien lo trate bien
ni sienta piedad de sus huérfanos.
13 Que sea destruida su descendencia,
borrado su nombre en la generación siguiente;
14 que la culpa de su padre se recuerde ante el Señor,
que el pecado de su madre no se olvide,
15 que el Señor los tenga siempre presentes
y borre de la tierra su recuerdo.
16 Porque olvidó hacer el bien,
persiguió al oprimido y al pobre,
al afligido para darle muerte.
17 Amaba la maldición: que caiga sobre él;
odiaba la bendición: que de él se aleje.
18 La maldición lo vestía como un manto:
que penetre como agua en sus entrañas
y como aceite en sus huesos,
19 que sea para él cual vestido que lo cubra,
como cinturón que lo ciña para siempre”.
20 Así pague el Señor a quienes me acusan,
a quienes hablan mal de mí.
21 Pero tú, Señor, Dios mío,
actúa en mi favor honrando tu nombre,
por tu bondadoso amor, sálvame.
22 Yo soy un pobre y desvalido,
tengo desgarrado el corazón.
23 Como sombra que declina voy cayendo,
como a un saltamontes me espantan.
24 Mis rodillas flaquean por el ayuno,
mi cuerpo languidece privado de alimento.
25 Soy para ellos motivo de burla,
me ven y mueven la cabeza.
26 Señor, Dios mío, ayúdame,
sálvame por tu amor,
27 para que sepan que aquí está tu mano,
que tú, Señor, lo has hecho.
28 Que ellos maldigan mientras tú bendices,
que sean humillados
mientras tu siervo se alegra;
29 que cubra la infamia a quienes me acusan,
que la vergüenza los envuelva como un manto.
30 Con mi boca daré gracias al Señor,
entre la multitud lo alabaré,
31 porque es el abogado del pobre
para salvarlo de los jueces.
Psalm 109
King James Version
109 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
26 Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it.
28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
30 I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
