Oración vespertina de confianza en Dios

Al músico principal; sobre Neginot. Salmo de David.

Respóndeme cuando clamo, oh Dios de mi justicia.

Cuando estaba en angustia, tú me hiciste ensanchar;

Ten misericordia de mí, y oye mi oración.

Hijos de los hombres, ¿hasta cuándo volveréis mi honra en infamia,

Amaréis la vanidad, y buscaréis la mentira? Selah

Sabed, pues, que Jehová ha escogido al piadoso para sí;

Jehová oirá cuando yo a él clamare.

Temblad, y no pequéis;(A)

Meditad en vuestro corazón estando en vuestra cama, y callad. Selah

Ofreced sacrificios de justicia,

Y confiad en Jehová.

Muchos son los que dicen: ¿Quién nos mostrará el bien?

Alza sobre nosotros, oh Jehová, la luz de tu rostro.

Tú diste alegría a mi corazón

Mayor que la de ellos cuando abundaba su grano y su mosto.

En paz me acostaré, y asimismo dormiré;

Porque solo tú, Jehová, me haces vivir confiado.

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.

Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.

There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.

The Safety of the Faithful

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

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress;
[b]Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

How long, O you sons of men,
Will you turn my glory to shame?
How long will you love worthlessness
And seek falsehood? Selah
But know that (A)the Lord has [c]set apart for Himself him who is godly;
The Lord will hear when I call to Him.

(B)Be[d] angry, and do not sin.
(C)Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah
Offer (D)the sacrifices of righteousness,
And (E)put your trust in the Lord.

There are many who say,
“Who will show us any good?”
(F)Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.
You have put (G)gladness in my heart,
More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.
(H)I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
(I)For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
