1Escucha, oh Dios, la voz de mi queja; protégeme del temor al enemigo.2Escóndeme de esa panda de impíos, de esa caterva de malhechores.3Afilan su lengua como espada y lanzan como flechas palabras ponzoñosas.4Emboscados, tiran contra el inocente; le disparan sin temor y sin aviso.5Unos a otros se animan en sus planes impíos, calculan cómo tender sus trampas; y hasta dicen: «¿Quién las verá?»6Maquinan injusticias, y dicen: «¡Hemos tramado un plan perfecto!» ¡Cuán incomprensibles son la mente y los pensamientos humanos!7Pero Dios les disparará sus flechas, y sin aviso caerán heridos.8Su propia lengua será su ruina, y quien los vea se burlará de ellos.9La humanidad entera sentirá temor: proclamará las proezas de Dios y meditará en sus obras.10Que se regocijen en el SEÑOR los justos; que busquen refugio en él; ¡que lo alaben todos los de recto corazón!
Psalm 64
English Standard Version
Hide Me from the Wicked
1To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy. (Ps 55,2)2Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers, (Ps 55,14)3who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows, (Ps 11,2; Ps 57,4)4shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear. (Ps 10,8; Ps 55,19)5They hold fast to their evil purpose; they talk of laying snares secretly, thinking, “Who can see them?” (Hi 22,13; Ps 140,5; Jer 23,14; Hes 13,22)6They search out injustice, saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.” For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep. (Ps 49,11)7But God shoots his arrow at them; they are wounded suddenly. (Ps 7,12; Ps 58,7)8They are brought to ruin, with their own tongues turned against them; all who see them will wag their heads. (Ps 22,7; Ps 40,3; Spr 12,13; Spr 18,7; Jer 18,16; Jer 48,27)9Then all mankind fears; they tell what God has brought about and ponder what he has done. (Ps 64,8; Jer 50,28; Jer 51,10)10Let the righteous one rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him! Let all the upright in heart exult! (Hi 22,19; Ps 7,10; Ps 11,1; Ps 32,11)
