Salmos 35
La Biblia de las Américas
Oración de un justo perseguido
Salmo de David.
35 Combate, oh Señor, a los que me combaten(A);
ataca a los que me atacan(B).
2 Echa mano del broquel y del escudo(C),
y levántate en mi ayuda(D).
3 Empuña también la lanza y el hacha[a] para enfrentarte a los que me persiguen;
di a mi alma: Yo soy tu salvación(E).
4 Sean avergonzados y confundidos[b] los que buscan mi vida[c](F);
sean puestos en fuga y humillados los que traman el mal contra mí(G).
5 Sean como paja delante del viento(H),
con el ángel del Señor acosándolos.
6 Sea su camino tenebroso y resbaladizo(I),
con el ángel del Señor persiguiéndolos.
7 Porque sin causa me tendieron su red[d](J);
sin causa cavaron fosa[e] para mi alma(K).
8 Que venga destrucción sobre él sin darse cuenta(L),
y la red que él mismo tendió lo prenda(M),
¡que caiga en esa misma destrucción(N)!
9 Y mi alma se regocijará en el Señor(O);
en su salvación se gozará(P).
10 Dirán todos mis huesos(Q): Señor, ¿quién como tú(R),
que libras al afligido de aquel que es más fuerte(S) que él,
sí, al afligido y al necesitado de aquel que lo despoja[f](T)?
11 Se levantan testigos malvados(U),
y de lo que no sé me preguntan.
12 Me devuelven mal por bien(V)
para aflicción de mi alma.
13 Pero yo, cuando ellos estaban enfermos(W), vestía de cilicio[g](X);
humillé mi alma con ayuno(Y),
y mi oración se repetía en[h] mi pecho(Z).
14 Como por mi amigo, como por mi hermano, andaba de aquí para allá;
como el que está de duelo por la madre, enlutado me encorvaba(AA).
15 Pero ellos se alegraron en mi tropiezo[i](AB), y se reunieron;
los agresores[j], a quienes no conocía, se juntaron contra mí(AC);
me despedazaban[k] sin cesar(AD).
16 Como bufones impíos en una fiesta,
rechinaban sus dientes contra mí(AE).
17 ¿Hasta cuándo, Señor, estarás mirando(AF)?
Rescata mi alma de sus estragos(AG),
mi única vida de los leones(AH).
18 En la gran congregación te daré gracias(AI);
entre mucha gente te alabaré(AJ).
19 No permitas que se regocijen a costa mía(AK) los que injustamente son mis enemigos(AL),
ni que guiñen el ojo con malicia(AM) los que sin causa me aborrecen(AN).
20 Porque ellos no hablan paz,
sino que piensan palabras engañosas[l] contra los pacíficos de la tierra(AO),
21 y abrieron bien grande su boca contra mí(AP);
dijeron: ¡Ajá, ajá, nuestros ojos lo han visto(AQ)!
22 Tú lo has visto(AR), Señor, no calles(AS);
Señor, no estés lejos de mí(AT).
23 Despierta y levántate para mi defensa(AU)
y para mi causa, Dios mío y Señor mío.
24 Júzgame conforme a tu justicia(AV), oh Señor, Dios mío;
que no se rían de mí(AW).
25 Que no digan en su corazón: ¡Ajá, lo que queríamos(AX)!
Que no digan: ¡Lo hemos devorado(AY)!
26 Sean avergonzados y humillados a una los que se alegran de mi mal(AZ);
cúbranse de vergüenza y deshonra los que se engrandecen contra mí(BA).
27 Canten de júbilo y regocíjense(BB) los que favorecen mi vindicación(BC);
y digan continuamente: Engrandecido sea el Señor(BD),
que se deleita en la paz[m] de su siervo(BE).
28 Y mi lengua hablará de tu justicia
y de tu alabanza todo el día(BF).

Plegaria pidiendo ser librado de los enemigos
Salmo de David.
35 Disputa, oh Jehová, con los que contra mí contienden;
Pelea contra los que me combaten.
2 Echa mano al escudo y al pavés,
Y levántate en mi ayuda.
3 Saca la lanza, cierra contra mis perseguidores;
Di a mi alma: Yo soy tu salvación.
4 Sean avergonzados y confundidos los que buscan mi vida;
Sean vueltos atrás y avergonzados los que mi mal intentan.
5 Sean como el tamo delante del viento,
Y el ángel de Jehová los acose.
6 Sea su camino tenebroso y resbaladizo,
Y el ángel de Jehová los persiga.
7 Porque sin causa escondieron para mí su red en un hoyo;
Sin causa cavaron hoyo para mi alma.
8 Véngale el quebrantamiento sin que lo sepa,
Y la red que él escondió lo prenda;
Con quebrantamiento caiga en ella.
9 Entonces mi alma se alegrará en Jehová;
Se regocijará en su salvación.
10 Todos mis huesos dirán: Jehová, ¿quién como tú,
Que libras al afligido del más fuerte que él,
Y al pobre y menesteroso del que le despoja?
11 Se levantan testigos malvados;
De lo que no sé me preguntan;
12 Me devuelven mal por bien,
Para afligir a mi alma.
13 Pero yo, cuando ellos enfermaron, me vestí de cilicio;
Afligí con ayuno mi alma,
Y mi oración se volvía a mi seno.
14 Como por mi compañero, como por mi hermano andaba;
Como el que trae luto por madre, enlutado me humillaba.
15 Pero ellos se alegraron en mi adversidad, y se juntaron;
Se juntaron contra mí gentes despreciables, y yo no lo entendía;
Me despedazaban sin descanso;
16 Como lisonjeros, escarnecedores y truhanes,
Crujieron contra mí sus dientes.
17 Señor, ¿hasta cuándo verás esto?
Rescata mi alma de sus destrucciones, mi vida de los leones.
18 Te confesaré en grande congregación;
Te alabaré entre numeroso pueblo.
19 No se alegren de mí los que sin causa son mis enemigos,
Ni los que me aborrecen sin causa(A) guiñen el ojo.
20 Porque no hablan paz;
Y contra los mansos de la tierra piensan palabras engañosas.
21 Ensancharon contra mí su boca;
Dijeron: ¡Ea, ea, nuestros ojos lo han visto!
22 Tú lo has visto, oh Jehová; no calles;
Señor, no te alejes de mí.
23 Muévete y despierta para hacerme justicia,
Dios mío y Señor mío, para defender mi causa.
24 Júzgame conforme a tu justicia, Jehová Dios mío,
Y no se alegren de mí.
25 No digan en su corazón: ¡Ea, alma nuestra!
No digan: ¡Le hemos devorado!
26 Sean avergonzados y confundidos a una los que de mi mal se alegran;
Vístanse de vergüenza y de confusión los que se engrandecen contra mí.
27 Canten y alégrense los que están a favor de mi justa causa,
Y digan siempre: Sea exaltado Jehová,
Que ama la paz de su siervo.
28 Y mi lengua hablará de tu justicia
Y de tu alabanza todo el día.
Psalm 35
King James Version
35 Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the Lord persecute them.
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10 All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
22 This thou hast seen, O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 Judge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
Psalm 35
New King James Version
The Lord the Avenger of His People
A Psalm of David.
35 Plead[a] my cause, O Lord, with those who strive with me;
Fight against those who fight against me.
2 Take hold of shield and [b]buckler,
And stand up for my help.
3 Also draw out the spear,
And stop those who pursue me.
Say to my soul,
“I am your salvation.”
4 (A)Let those be put to shame and brought to dishonor
Who seek after my life;
Let those be (B)turned back and brought to confusion
Who plot my hurt.
5 (C)Let them be like chaff before the wind,
And let the [c]angel of the Lord chase them.
6 Let their way be (D)dark and slippery,
And let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
7 For without cause they have (E)hidden their net for me in a pit,
Which they have dug without cause for my life.
8 [d]Let (F)destruction come upon him unexpectedly,
And let his net that he has hidden catch himself;
Into that very destruction let him fall.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord;
It shall rejoice in His salvation.
10 (G)All my bones shall say,
“Lord, (H)who is like You,
Delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him,
Yes, the poor and the needy from him who plunders him?”
11 Fierce witnesses rise up;
They ask me things that I do not know.
12 (I)They reward me evil for good,
To the sorrow of my soul.
13 But as for me, (J)when they were sick,
My clothing was sackcloth;
I humbled myself with fasting;
And my prayer would return to my own [e]heart.
14 I paced about as though he were my friend or brother;
I bowed down [f]heavily, as one who mourns for his mother.
15 But in my [g]adversity they rejoiced
And gathered together;
Attackers gathered against me,
And I did not know it;
They tore at me and did not cease;
16 With ungodly mockers at feasts
They gnashed at me with their teeth.
17 Lord, how long will You (K)look on?
Rescue me from their destructions,
My precious life from the lions.
18 I will give You thanks in the great assembly;
I will praise You among [h]many people.
19 (L)Let them not rejoice over me who are wrongfully my enemies;
Nor let them wink with the eye who hate me without a cause.
20 For they do not speak peace,
But they devise deceitful matters
Against the quiet ones in the land.
21 They also opened their mouth wide against me,
And said, “Aha, aha!
Our eyes have seen it.”
22 This You have seen, O Lord;
Do not keep silence.
O Lord, do not be far from me.
23 Stir up Yourself, and awake to my vindication,
To my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 Vindicate me, O Lord my God, according to Your righteousness;
And let them not rejoice over me.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, “Ah, so we would have it!”
Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up.”
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion
Who rejoice at my hurt;
Let them be (M)clothed with shame and dishonor
Who exalt themselves against me.
27 (N)Let them shout for joy and be glad,
Who favor my righteous cause;
And let them say continually,
“Let the Lord be magnified,
Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”
28 And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness
And of Your praise all the day long.
