| 1 Ten piedad de nosotros, | sálvanos, Dios del universo, | infunde tu terror a todas las naciones; | 1 O God of all, take pity on us, and look with favor on us, and show us the light of your compassion. |
| 2 amenaza con tu mano al pueblo extranjero, | para que sienta tu poder. | 2 And send your fear upon the Gentiles, who have not sought you, so that they may acknowledge that there is no God except you, and so that they may declare your great deeds. |
| 3 Como les mostraste tu santidad al castigarnos, | muéstranos así tu gloria castigándolos a ellos: | 3 Lift up your hand over unbelieving nations, so that they may see your power. |
| 4 para que sepan, como nosotros lo sabemos, | que no hay Dios fuera de ti. | 4 For just as, in their sight, you have been sanctified in us, so also, in our sight, you will be magnified in them. |
| 5 Renueva los prodigios, repite los portentos, | exalta tu mano, robustece tu brazo. | 5 So may they know you, as we also have known you. For there is no God apart from you, O Lord. |
| 6 Despierta tu furor y derrama tu ira, | extermina al adversario y aniquila al enemigo. | 6 Renew your signs, and work new wonders. |
| 7 Acelera la hora, recuerda el juramento, | y que se divulguen tus grandezas. | 7 Glorify your hand and your right arm. |
| 8 Que tu fuego vengador devore a los supervivientes, | y perezcan los que hacen daño a tu pueblo. | 8 Stir up your fury, and pour out your wrath. |
| 9 Aplasta la cabeza de los jefes enemigos, | que dicen: «Fuera de nosotros no hay nadie». | 9 Take away our adversary, and afflict our enemy. |
| 10 Reúne a todas las tribus de Jacob | y dales su heredad como antiguamente. | 10 Hasten the time, and remember the end, so that they may declare your miracles. |
| 11 Ten compasión del pueblo que lleva tu nombre, | de Israel, a quien nombraste tu primogénito; | 11 Let those who escape be devoured by the wrath of fire. And let those who harass your people find perdition. |
| 12 ten compasión de tu ciudad santa, | de Jerusalén, lugar de tu reposo. | 12 Crush the head of the leaders of the enemies, for they say: “There is no other beside us.” |
| 13 Llena a Sión de tu majestad, | y al templo, de tu gloria. | 13 Gather together all the tribes of Jacob, so that they may acknowledge that there is no God except you, and so that they may declare your great deeds. And you will inherit them, as from the beginning. |
| 14 Da una prueba de tus obras antiguas, | cumple las profecías por el honor de tu nombre, | 14 Take pity on your people, over whom your name has been invoked, and on Israel, whom you have treated as your firstborn. |
| 15 recompensa a los que esperan en ti, | y saca veraces a tus profetas, | 15 Take pity on Jerusalem, the city of your sanctification, the city of your rest. |
| 16 escucha la súplica de tus siervos, | por amor a tu pueblo, | 16 Fill Zion with your ineffable words, and fill your people with your glory. |
| 17 y reconozcan los confines del orbe | que tú eres Dios eterno. | 17 Give testimony to those who have been your creations from the beginning, and lift up the prophecies which the former prophets spoke in your name. |
| 18 El estómago consume todo tipo de alimentos, | pero unos son mejores que otros. | 18 Give a reward to those who endure for you, so that your prophets may be found to be faithful. And heed the prayers of your servants, |
| 19 El paladar distingue la carne de caza, | y el corazón inteligente las palabras mentirosas. | 19 in accord with the blessing of Aaron over your people. And direct us in the way of justice, and let all who inhabit the earth know that you are God, the Beholder of all ages. |
| 20 El de corazón retorcido provoca desgracias, | pero el experimentado le da su merecido. | 20 The belly can devour any food, yet one meal is better than another. |
| 21 Una mujer acepta cualquier marido, | pero unas jóvenes son mejores que otras. | 21 The palate tests the meat of wild animals, and the understanding heart tests false words. |
| 22 La belleza de la mujer alegra el rostro, | y sobrepasa cuanto el hombre desea. | 22 A corrupt heart will cause grief, and a man of experience will resist it. |
| 23 Si en su lengua hay bondad y dulzura, | su marido ya no es como los demás hombres. | 23 A woman can receive any male, yet one daughter is better than another. |
| 24 El que consigue una mujer tiene el comienzo de la fortuna, | una ayuda semejante a él y una columna de apoyo. | 24 The beauty of a wife cheers the face of her husband, and rises above his desire, above all the desires of man. |
| 25 Donde no hay valla, la propiedad es saqueada, | donde no hay mujer, el hombre gime a la deriva. | 25 If she offers healing words, then she both comforts and shows mercy; and so her husband is not like other men. |
| 26 ¿Quién se fiará del ladrón avispado | que va saltando de ciudad en ciudad? | 26 He who holds to a good wife establishes a possession. She is a helper in agreement with him, and she is a pillar of rest. |
| 27 Lo mismo ocurre con el hombre que no tiene hogar | y se cobija donde la noche lo sorprende. | 27 Where there is no hedge, a possession will be trampled. And where there is no wife, he will mourn her absence. |
| 28 Who will trust one who has no nest, and who conceals himself wherever his course may take him, like a well-equipped robber passing from city to city? |
