Psalms 109

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Biblia Sagrada
1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Be not silent, O God of my praise!	1 Al Director. Salmo de David. |Dios de mi alabanza, no estés callado,
2 For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues.	2 que bocas malvadas y fraudulentas | se abren contra mí | y me hablan con lengua mentirosa.
3 They beset me with words of hate, and attack me without cause.	3 Me cercan con palabras odiosas | y me combaten sin motivo.
4 In return for my love they accuse me, even as I make prayer for them.	4 En pago de mi amor me acusan, | aunque yo oraba por ellos;
5 So they reward me evil for good, and hatred for my love.	5 me devuelven mal por bien | y odio a cambio de mi amor.
6 Appoint a wicked man against him; let an accuser bring him to trial.	6 «Suscita contra él un malvado, | que un acusador se ponga a su derecha.
7 When he is tried, let him come forth guilty; let his prayer be counted as sin!	7 Cuando sea juzgado, salga culpable, | y su apelación se resuelva en condena.
8 May his days be few; may another seize his goods!	8 Que sus días sean pocos | y otro ocupe su cargo.
9 May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow!	9 Queden huérfanos sus hijos | y viuda su mujer.
10 May his children wander about and beg; may they be driven out of the ruins they inhabit!	10 Vayan sus hijos errabundos mendigando | y sean expulsados lejos de sus ruinas.
11 May the creditor seize all that he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil!	11 Que un acreedor se apodere de sus bienes | y los extraños se adueñen de sus sudores.
12 Let there be none to extend kindness to him, nor any to pity his fatherless children!	12 ¡Jamás le brinde nadie su favor, | ni se apiade de sus huérfanos!
13 May his posterity be cut off; may his name be blotted out in the second generation!	13 Que su posteridad sea exterminada | y en una generación se borre su nombre.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out!	14 Recuerde el Señor la culpa de sus padres, | y no borre el pecado de su madre:
15 Let them be before the LORD continually; and may his memory be cut off from the earth!	15 estén siempre ante el Señor | y borre de la tierra su memoria».
16 For he did not remember to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and the brokenhearted to their death.	16 —«Porque no se acordó de actuar con misericordia, | persiguió al humilde y al pobre, | al de corazón abatido para matarlo;
17 He loved to curse; let curses come on him! He did not like blessing; may it be far from him!	17 ya que amó la maldición, ¡recaiga sobre él!; | despreció la bendición, ¡aléjese de él!
18 He clothed himself with cursing as his coat, may it soak into his body like water, like oil into his bones!	18 Se vistió la maldición cual manto, | que penetre en su interior como agua, | y en sus huesos como aceite;
19 May it be like a garment which he wraps round him, like a belt with which he daily girds himself!	19 sea cual vestido que lo cubre, | como un cinturón que lo ciñe siempre.
20 May this be the reward of my accusers from the LORD, of those who speak evil against my life!	20 Pague así el Señor a los que me acusan, | a quienes hablan mal de mí».
21 But thou, O GOD my Lord, deal on my behalf for thy name's sake; because thy steadfast love is good, deliver me!	21 Pero tú, Señor, Dueño mío, | trátame conforme a tu nombre, | líbrame por tu bondadoso amor.
22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is stricken within me.	22 Porque yo soy humilde y pobre, | y mi corazón ha sido traspasado;
23 I am gone, like a shadow at evening; I am shaken off like a locust.	23 me desvanezco como sombra que declina, | me espantan como a la langosta;
24 My knees are weak through fasting; my body has become gaunt.	24 se doblan mis rodillas por el ayuno, | y, sin grasa, enflaquece mi carne.
25 I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they wag their heads.	25 Soy despreciable para ellos; | al verme, menean la cabeza.
26 Help me, O LORD my God! Save me according to thy steadfast love!	26 ¡Ayúdame, Señor, Dios mío; | sálvame según tu misericordia!
27 Let them know that this is thy hand; thou, O LORD, hast done it!	27 Sepan que tu mano hizo esto, | que tú, Señor, lo hiciste.
28 Let them curse, but do thou bless! Let my assailants be put to shame; may thy servant be glad!	28 Maldigan ellos, mas tú bendecirás; | levántense y sean confundidos, | que tu siervo se alegrará.
29 May my accusers be clothed with dishonor; may they be wrapped in their own shame as in a mantle!	29 Vístanse de oprobio mis acusadores, | que su infamia los cubra como un manto.
30 With my mouth I will give great thanks to the LORD; I will praise him in the midst of the throng.	30 Daré gracias al Señor a boca llena, | y en medio de la muchedumbre lo alabaré,
31 For he stands at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who condemn him to death.	31 porque él se pone a la derecha del pobre, | para salvar su vida de los que lo condenan.
