Psalm 17
BRG Bible
Psalm 17
A Prayer of David.
1 Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
14 From men which are thy hand, O Lord, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.(A)

Salmos 17
La Biblia de las Américas
Oración pidiendo protección
Oración de David.
17 Oye, oh Señor, una causa justa(A); atiende a mi clamor(B);
presta oído a mi oración(C), que no es de labios engañosos(D).
2 Que mi vindicación[a] venga de tu presencia(E);
que tus ojos vean con rectitud[b](F).
3 Tú has probado mi corazón(G),
me has visitado de noche;
me has puesto a prueba(H) y nada hallaste(I);
he resuelto[c] que mi boca no peque[d](J).
4 En cuanto a las obras de los hombres, por la palabra de tus labios(K)
yo me he guardado de las sendas de los violentos(L).
5 Mis pasos se han mantenido firmes en tus senderos[e](M).
No han resbalado mis pies(N).
6 Yo te he invocado, oh Dios, porque tú me responderás(O);
inclina a mí tu oído(P), escucha mi palabra.
7 Muestra maravillosamente tu misericordia(Q),
tú que salvas a[f] los que se refugian a tu diestra(R)
huyendo de los que[g] se levantan contra ellos.
8 Guárdame como a la niña de tus ojos[h](S);
escóndeme a la sombra de tus alas(T)
9 de los impíos que me despojan(U),
de mis enemigos mortales que me rodean(V).
10 Han cerrado su insensible[i] corazón(W);
hablan arrogantemente con su boca(X).
11 Ahora nos han cercado en nuestros pasos(Y);
fijan sus ojos para echarnos por tierra(Z),
12 como león que ansía despedazar(AA),
como leoncillo que acecha en los escondrijos(AB).
13 Levántate, Señor(AC), sal a su encuentro, derríbalo(AD);
con tu espada(AE) libra mi alma(AF) del impío,
14 de los hombres, con tu mano, oh Señor(AG),
de los hombres del mundo, cuya porción está en esta vida[j](AH),
y cuyo vientre llenas de tu tesoro(AI);
se llenan[k] de hijos,
y dejan lo que les sobra a sus pequeños.
15 En cuanto a mí, en justicia contemplaré tu rostro(AJ);
al despertar, me saciaré cuando contemple tu imagen[l](AK).
