| 1 Al Director. Salmo de David. | 1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. |
| 2 Escucha, oh Dios, la voz de mi lamento, | protege mi vida del terrible enemigo; | 2 Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee : deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy. |
| 3 escóndeme de la conjura de los perversos | y del motín de los malhechores. | 3 Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity. |
| 4 Afilan sus lenguas como espadas | y disparan como flechas palabras venenosas, | 4 For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing, |
| 5 para herir a escondidas al inocente, | para herirlo por sorpresa y sin riesgo. | 5 to shoot in secret the undefiled. |
| 6 Se animan al delito, | calculan cómo esconder trampas, | y dicen: «¿Quién lo descubrirá?». | 6 They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: they are resolute in wickedness. They have talked of hiding snares; they have said: Who shall see them? |
| 7 Inventan maldades y llevan a cabo sus proyectos criminales: | su mente y su corazón son un abismo. | 7 They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart: |
| 8 Pero Dios los acribilla a flechazos, | por sorpresa los cubre de heridas; | 8 and God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds: |
| 9 su misma lengua los lleva a la ruina, | y los que los ven menean la cabeza. | 9 and their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled; |
| 10 Todo el mundo se atemoriza, | proclama la obra de Dios | y medita sus acciones. | 10 and every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: and understood his doings. |
| 11 El justo se alegra con el Señor, | se refugia en él, | y se felicitan los rectos de corazón. | 11 The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised. |
