Psalms 57

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBLIA
1 Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title.	1 Del maestro de coro. «No destruyas». De David. A media voz. Cuando, huyendo de Saúl, se escondió en la cueva.
2 If, truly and certainly, you speak justice, then judge what is right, you sons of men.	2 Tenme piedad, oh Dios, tenme piedad, que en ti se cobija mi alma; a la sombra de tus alas me cobijo hasta que pase el infortunio.
3 For, even in your heart, you work iniquity. Your hands construct injustice on the earth.	3 Invoco al Dios Altísimo, al Dios que tanto hace por mí.
4 Sinners have become foreigners from the womb; they have gone astray from conception. They have been speaking falsehoods.	4 Mande desde los cielos y me salve, confunda a quien me pisa, envíe Dios su amor y su verdad. Pausa.
5 Their fury is similar to that of a serpent; it is like a deaf asp, who even blocks her ears,	5 Mi alma está tendida en medio de leones, que devoran a los hijos de Adán; sus dientes son lanzas y saetas, su lengua, una espada acerada.
6 who will not listen to the voice of charmers, nor even to the enchanter who chants wisely.	6 ¡Alzate, oh Dios, sobre los cielos, sobre toda la tierra, tu gloria
7 God will crush their teeth within their own mouth. The Lord will break the molars of the lions.	7 Tendían ellos una red bajo mis pasos, mi alma se doblaba; una fosa cavaron ante mí, ¡cayeron ellos dentro! Pausa.
8 They will come to nothing, like water flowing away. He has aimed his bow, while they are being weakened.	8 A punto está mi corazón, oh Dios, mi corazón a punto; voy a cantar, voy a salmodiar,
9 Like wax that flows, they will be carried away. Fire has fallen upon them, and they will not see the sun.	9 ¡gloria mía, despierta!, ¡despertad, arpa y cítara!, ¡a la aurora he de despertar!
10 Before your thorns could know the brier, he consumes them alive, as if in rage.	10 Te alabaré entre los pueblos, Señor, te salmodiaré entre las gentes;
11 The just one will rejoice when he sees vindication. He will wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.	11 porque tu amor es grande hasta los cielos, tu verdad hasta las nubes.
12 And man will say, “If the just one is fruitful, then, truly, there is a God judging them on earth.”	12 ¡Alzate, oh Dios, sobre los cielos, sobre toda la tierra, tu gloria!
