1 Salmo de Asaf. |¡Qué bueno es Dios para el justo, | Dios para los limpios de corazón!1 A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to the upright, to those who are pure in heart.
2 Pero yo por poco doy un mal paso, | casi resbalaron mis pisadas:2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 porque envidiaba a los perversos, | viendo prosperar a los malvados.3 For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 Para ellos no hay sinsabores, | están sanos y orondos;4 For they have no pangs; their bodies are sound and sleek.
5 no pasan las fatigas humanas, | ni sufren como los demás.5 They are not in trouble as other men are; they are not stricken like other men.
6 Por eso su collar es el orgullo, | y los cubre un vestido de violencia;6 Therefore pride is their necklace; violence covers them as a garment.
7 de las carnes les rezuma la maldad, | el corazón les rebosa de malas ideas.7 Their eyes swell out with fatness, their hearts overflow with follies.
8 Insultan y hablan mal, | y desde lo alto amenazan con la opresión.8 They scoff and speak with malice; loftily they threaten oppression.
9 Su boca se atreve con el cielo. | Y su lengua recorre la tierra.9 They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongue struts through the earth.
10 Por eso se sientan en lo alto | y las aguas no los alcanzan.10 Therefore the people turn and praise them; and find no fault in them.
11 Ellos dicen: «¿Es que Dios lo va a saber, | se va a enterar el Altísimo?».11 And they say, "How can God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?"
12 Así son los malvados: | siempre seguros, acumulan riquezas.12 Behold, these are the wicked; always at ease, they increase in riches.
13 Y dije: ¿para qué he limpiado yo mi corazón | y he lavado en la inocencia mis manos?13 All in vain have I kept my heart clean and washed my hands in innocence.
14 ¿Para qué aguanto yo todo el día | y me corrijo cada mañana?14 For all the day long I have been stricken, and chastened every morning.
15 Si yo dijera: «Voy a hablar con ellos», | renegaría de la estirpe de tus hijos.15 If I had said, "I will speak thus," I would have been untrue to the generation of thy children.
16 Meditaba yo para entenderlo, | porque me resultaba muy difícil.16 But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task,
17 Hasta que entré en el santuario de Dios, | y comprendí el destino de ellos.17 until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I perceived their end.
18 Es verdad: los pones en el resbaladero, | los precipitas en la ruina.18 Truly thou dost set them in slippery places; thou dost make them fall to ruin.
19 En un momento causan horror, | y acaban consumidos de espanto.19 How they are destroyed in a moment, swept away utterly by terrors!
20 Como un sueño al despertar, Señor, | al despertarte desprecias sus sombras.20 They are like a dream when one awakes, on awaking you despise their phantoms.
21 Cuando mi corazón se agriaba | y me punzaba mi interior,21 When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart,
22 yo era un necio y un ignorante, | yo era un animal ante ti.22 I was stupid and ignorant, I was like a beast toward thee.
23 Pero yo siempre estaré contigo, | tú agarrarás mi mano derecha;23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee; thou dost hold my right hand.
24 me guías según tus planes, | y después me recibirás en la gloria.24 Thou dost guide me with thy counsel, and afterward thou wilt receive me to glory.
25 ¿No te tengo a ti en el cielo? | Y contigo, ¿qué me importa la tierra?25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is nothing upon earth that I desire besides thee.
26 Se consumen mi corazón y mi carne; | pero Dios es la roca de mi corazón y mi lote perpetuo.26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.
27 Sí: los que se alejan de ti se pierden; | tú destruyes a los que te son infieles.27 For lo, those who are far from thee shall perish; thou dost put an end to those who are false to thee.
28 Para mí lo bueno es estar junto a Dios, | hacer del Señor Dios mi refugio, | y contar todas tus acciones | en las puertas de Sión.28 But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all thy works.
