Plegaria pidiendo protección
Para el director del coro. Salmo de David.
140 Líbrame (A), oh Señor, de los hombres malignos;
guárdame de los hombres violentos(B),
2 que traman maldades en su corazón(C);
que cada día provocan guerras(D).
3 Aguzan su lengua como serpiente(E);
veneno de víbora hay bajo sus labios(F). (Selah[a])
4 Guárdame, Señor, de las manos del impío;
protégeme de los hombres violentos(G),
que se han propuesto[b] hacerme tropezar[c](H).
5 Los soberbios han ocultado[d] trampa y cuerdas para mí(I);
han tendido red al borde del sendero(J);
me han puesto lazos(K). (Selah)
6 Dije al Señor: Tú eres mi Dios(L);
escucha(M), oh Señor, la voz de mis súplicas(N).
7 Oh Dios[e], Señor, poder de mi salvación(O),
tú cubriste mi cabeza en el día de la batalla[f](P).
8 No concedas, Señor, los deseos del impío(Q);
no hagas prosperar sus malos designios(R), para que no se exalten. (Selah)
9 En cuanto a[g] los que me rodean,
que la malicia de sus labios los cubra(S).
10 Caigan sobre ellos carbones encendidos(T);
sean arrojados en el fuego(U),
en abismos profundos[h] de donde no se puedan levantar[i](V).
11 Que el hombre de mala lengua no permanezca en la tierra;
que al hombre violento lo persiga el mal implacablemente[j](W).
12 Yo sé que el Señor sostendrá la causa del afligido(X),
y el derecho de los pobres(Y).
13 Ciertamente los justos darán gracias a tu nombre(Z),
y los rectos morarán en tu presencia(AA).

Psalm 140
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah.
4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
6 I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.
7 O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
12 I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

Psalm 140[a]
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 Rescue me,(A) Lord, from evildoers;
protect me from the violent,(B)
2 who devise evil plans(C) in their hearts
and stir up war(D) every day.
3 They make their tongues as sharp as(E) a serpent’s;
the poison of vipers(F) is on their lips.[b]
4 Keep me safe,(G) Lord, from the hands of the wicked;(H)
protect me from the violent,
who devise ways to trip my feet.
5 The arrogant have hidden a snare(I) for me;
they have spread out the cords of their net(J)
and have set traps(K) for me along my path.
6 I say to the Lord, “You are my God.”(L)
Hear, Lord, my cry for mercy.(M)
7 Sovereign Lord,(N) my strong deliverer,
you shield my head in the day of battle.
8 Do not grant the wicked(O) their desires, Lord;
do not let their plans succeed.
