Salmo 64 (63)

Dios, escucha mi clamor

64 Al maestro del coro. Salmo de David.
Escucha, oh Dios, mi amargo clamor,
guarda mi vida del terror del enemigo;
protégeme de la conjura de los malvados,
de la conspiración de los malhechores.
Ellos afilan su lengua como espada,
lanzan como flechas palabras envenenadas;
disparan a escondidas contra el inocente,
le disparan por sorpresa sin temer nada.
Entre ellos se animan a hacer el mal,
hablan de tender trampas ocultas
diciendo: “¿Quién se dará cuenta?”.
Andan maquinando crímenes:
“Llevemos a cabo nuestro plan,
que el interior del ser humano
y su corazón son insondables”.
Pero Dios les lanza una flecha
y caen heridos de repente;
su lengua se vuelve contra ellos,
cuantos los ven agitan la cabeza.
10 Todos, entonces, sienten miedo
y pregonan la obra de Dios,
comprendiendo su proceder.
11 Que el justo se alegre en el Señor,
que en él ponga su confianza,
que se enorgullezcan los rectos.

Oppressed by the Wicked but Rejoicing in the Lord

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

64 Hear my voice, O God, in my [a]meditation;
Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
(A)And bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,
That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.

They encourage themselves in an evil matter;
They talk of laying snares secretly;
(B)They say, “Who will see them?”
They devise iniquities:
“We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”
Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.

But God shall shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly they shall be wounded.
So He will make them stumble over their own tongue;
(C)All who see them shall flee away.
All men shall fear,
And shall (D)declare the work of God;
For they shall wisely consider His doing.

10 (E)The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him.
And all the upright in heart shall glory.

64 Hear my voice, O God, in (A)my [a]complaint;
(B)Preserve my life from dread of the enemy.

From the tumult of (D)those who do iniquity,

To (G)shoot [b]from concealment at the blameless;

They [c]hold fast to themselves an evil purpose;
They [d]talk of (I)laying snares secretly;
They say, “(J)Who can see them?”
They [e]devise injustices, saying,
“We are [f]ready with a well-conceived plot”;
For the [g](K)inward thought and the heart of a man are [h]deep.

But (L)God [i]will shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly [j]they will be wounded.
So [k]they [l]will (M)make him stumble;

Psalm 64[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint;(A)
    protect my life from the threat of the enemy.(B)

Hide me from the conspiracy(C) of the wicked,(D)
    from the plots of evildoers.
They sharpen their tongues like swords(E)
    and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.(F)
They shoot from ambush at the innocent;(G)
    they shoot suddenly, without fear.(H)

They encourage each other in evil plans,
    they talk about hiding their snares;(I)
    they say, “Who will see it[b]?”(J)
They plot injustice and say,
    “We have devised a perfect plan!”
    Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.

But God will shoot them with his arrows;
    they will suddenly be struck down.
He will turn their own tongues against them(K)
    and bring them to ruin;
    all who see them will shake their heads(L) in scorn.(M)
All people will fear;(N)
    they will proclaim the works of God
    and ponder what he has done.(O)

10 The righteous will rejoice in the Lord(P)
    and take refuge in him;(Q)
    all the upright in heart will glory in him!(R)
