Salmo 7

Plegaria del justo perseguido

Sigaión de David, que cantó al Señor acerca de Cus, el benjamita.

Oh Señor, Dios mío, en Ti me refugio(A);
Sálvame de todo el que me persigue, y líbrame(B),
No sea que alguno desgarre mi vida como león(C),
Y me despedace sin que haya quien me libre.
¶Oh Señor, Dios mío, si yo he hecho esto,
Si hay en mis manos injusticia(D),
Si he pagado con el mal al que estaba en paz conmigo(E),
O he despojado(F) al que sin causa era mi adversario,
Que el enemigo me persiga y me alcance;
Que pisotee en tierra mi vida
Y eche en el polvo mi gloria. (Selah)
¶Levántate(G), oh Señor, en Tu ira;
Álzate(H) contra la furia de mis adversarios(I),
Y despiértate en favor mío(J); Tú has establecido juicio.
Que te rodee la asamblea de los pueblos(K),
Y Tú en lo alto regresa sobre ella.
El Señor juzga a los pueblos(L).
Júzgame oh Señor, conforme a mi justicia y a la integridad que hay en mí(M).
Que se acabe la maldad de los impíos(N), pero establece Tú al justo(O),
Porque el Dios justo prueba los corazones y las mentes(P).
10 Mi escudo está en Dios(Q),
Que salva a los rectos de corazón(R).
11 Dios es juez justo(S),
Y un Dios que se indigna cada día contra el impío(T).
12 ¶Y si el impío no se arrepiente(U), Él afilará Su espada(V);
Tensado y preparado está Su arco(W).
13 Ha preparado también Sus armas de muerte;
Hace de Sus flechas saetas ardientes(X).
14 Miren, el impío con la maldad sufre dolores,
Y concibe la iniquidad(Y) y da a luz el engaño.
15 Ha cavado una fosa y la ha ahondado,
Y ha caído en el hoyo que hizo(Z).
16 Su iniquidad volverá sobre su cabeza(AA),
Y su violencia descenderá sobre su coronilla(AB).
17 ¶Daré gracias al Señor conforme a Su justicia(AC),
Y cantaré alabanzas al nombre del Señor, el Altísimo(AD).

The Lord Implored to Defend the Psalmist against the Wicked.

A [a]Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord [b]concerning Cush, a Benjaminite.

O Lord my God, (A)in You I have taken refuge;
Save me from all those who pursue me, and (B)rescue me,
Or he will tear [c]my soul (C)like a lion,
Dragging me away, while there is no one to rescue me.

O Lord my God, if I have done this,
If there is (D)injustice in my hands,
If I have (E)done evil to [d]my friend,
Or have (F)plundered [e]my enemy for no reason,
Let the enemy pursue [f]my soul and overtake [g]it;
And let him trample my life to the ground
And lay my glory in the dust. Selah

(G)Arise, Lord, in Your anger;
(H)Raise Yourself against (I)the rage of my enemies,
And (J)stir Yourself [h]for me; You have ordered judgment.
Let the assembly of the (K)peoples encompass You,
And return on high over it.
The Lord (L)judges the peoples;
[i](M)Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.
Please let (N)the evil of the wicked come to an end, but (O)establish the righteous;
For the righteous God (P)puts hearts and [j]minds to the test.
10 My (Q)shield is [k]with God,
Who (R)saves the upright in heart.
11 God is a (S)righteous judge,
And a God who (T)shows indignation every day.

12 If one (U)does not repent, He will (V)sharpen His sword;
He has (W)bent His bow and taken aim.
13 He has also prepared deadly weapons for Himself;
He makes His (X)arrows fiery shafts.
14 Behold, an evil person is pregnant with injustice,
And he (Y)conceives harm and gives birth to lies.
15 He has dug a pit and hollowed it out,
And has (Z)fallen into the hole which he made.
16 His (AA)harm will return on his own head,
And his (AB)violence will descend on the top of his own head.

17 I will give thanks to the Lord (AC)according to His righteousness
And will (AD)sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
