Salmos 140
La Biblia de las Américas

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
English Standard Version

Deliver Me, O Lord, from Evil Men

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

140 (A)Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men;
    preserve me from (B)violent men,
2 who plan evil things in their heart
    and (C)stir up wars continually.
3 They make (D)their tongue sharp as (E)a serpent's,
    and (F)under their lips is the (G)venom of asps. Selah

4 Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
    preserve me from (H)violent men,
    who have planned to trip up my feet.
5 The arrogant have (I)hidden a trap for me,
    and with cords they have spread (J)a net;[a]
    beside the way they have set (K)snares for me. Selah

6 (L)I say to the Lord, You are my God;
    give ear to (M)the voice of my pleas for mercy, O Lord!
7 O Lord, my Lord, (N)the strength of my salvation,
    you have covered my head in the day of battle.
8 (O)Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;
    do not further their[b] evil plot, or (P)they will be exalted! Selah

9 As for the head of those who surround me,
    let (Q)the mischief of their lips overwhelm them!
10 Let (R)burning coals fall upon them!
    Let them be cast into fire,
    into miry pits, no more to rise!
11 Let not the slanderer be established in the land;
    let evil hunt down the violent man speedily!

12 I know that the Lord will (S)maintain the cause of the afflicted,
    and (T)will execute justice for the needy.
13 Surely (U)the righteous shall give thanks to your name;
    (V)the upright shall dwell in your presence.

Psalm 140
New International Version

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.

9 Those who surround me proudly rear their heads;
    may the mischief of their lips engulf them.(P)
10 May burning coals fall on them;
    may they be thrown into the fire,(Q)
    into miry pits, never to rise.
11 May slanderers not be established in the land;
    may disaster hunt down the violent.(R)

12 I know that the Lord secures justice for the poor(S)
    and upholds the cause(T) of the needy.(U)
13 Surely the righteous will praise your name,(V)
    and the upright will live(W) in your presence.(X)
