Psalm 17
King James Version
17 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.
Salmos 17
Palabra de Dios para Todos
Señor, escúchame
Oración de David.
1 SEÑOR, escúchame, te pido que me hagas justicia;
atiende a mi llamado.
Escucha mi oración,
pues mis palabras son sinceras.
2 Juzga tú a favor mío,
fíjate en lo que es justo.
3 Tú has examinado mi corazón;
estuviste conmigo toda la noche,
me interrogaste
y no encontraste nada malo en mí.
Examinaste mis planes
y no encontraste nada malo en ellos.
4 Yo sí he obedecido lo que dijiste, no como otros;
evito seguir el ejemplo de los violentos.
5 Sigue guiando mis pasos
para que nunca resbale.
6 Dios, te pido ayuda porque sé que me responderás.
¡Escúchame! Oye mi oración.
7 Muéstrame tu amor fiel y maravilloso.
Cuando atacan los enemigos, los que confían en ti buscan tu ayuda;
y tú los salvas y los llevas a tu lado.
8 Protégeme como a la niña de tus ojos;
escóndeme bajo la sombra de tus alas.
9 Protégeme de los perversos que tratan de destruirme.
Sálvame de mis enemigos mortales que me tienen rodeado.
10 Ellos no tienen compasión
y se jactan de sus planes.
11 Me persiguieron
y me han rodeado para atacarme.
12 Mis enemigos son como leones listos a devorar su presa.
Se esconden como leones para atacar a su víctima.
13 ¡Levántate SEÑOR!
Enfrenta a mis enemigos y haz que se rindan.
Con tu espada sálvame de esta gente perversa.
14 Usa tu poder y sálvame de los perversos.
SEÑOR, demuestra todo tu poder
y expulsa de esta vida a esa gente mala.
Dales a comer de la ira que tienes guardada.
Que sus hijos y hasta los hijos de sus hijos se llenen de ella.[a]
15 En cuanto a mí, yo hago lo correcto,
por eso quedaré satisfecho cuando despierte y vea tu rostro.

Psalm 17
New King James Version
Prayer with Confidence in Final Salvation
A Prayer of David.
17 Hear a just cause, O Lord,
Attend to my cry;
Give ear to my prayer which is not from deceitful lips.
2 Let my vindication come from Your presence;
Let Your eyes look on the things that are upright.
3 You have tested my heart;
You have visited me in the night;
(A)You have [a]tried me and have found [b]nothing;
I have purposed that my mouth shall not (B)transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men,
By the word of Your lips,
I have kept away from the paths of the destroyer.
5 (C)Uphold my steps in Your paths,
That my footsteps may not slip.
6 (D)I have called upon You, for You will hear me, O God;
Incline Your ear to me, and hear my speech.
7 Show Your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand,
O You who [c]save those who trust in You
From those who rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the [d]apple of Your eye;
Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,
9 From the wicked who oppress me,
From my deadly enemies who surround me.
10 They have closed up their (E)fat hearts;
With their mouths they (F)speak proudly.
11 They have now surrounded us in our steps;
They have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth,
12 As a lion is eager to tear his prey,
And like a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O Lord,
Confront him, cast him down;
Deliver my life from the wicked with Your sword,
14 With Your hand from men, O Lord,
From men of the world who have their portion in this life,
And whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure.
They are satisfied with children,
And leave the rest of their possession for their babes.
15 As for me, (G)I will see Your face in righteousness;
(H)I shall be satisfied when I (I)awake in Your likeness.
