Salmos 140
Berean Standard Bible
1Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men. Protect me from men of violence,
2who devise evil in their hearts and stir up war all day long.
3They sharpen their tongues like snakes; the venom of vipers is on their lips. Selah
4Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked. Keep me safe from men of violence who scheme to make me stumble.
5The proud hide a snare for me; the cords of their net are spread along the path, and lures are set out for me. Selah
6I say to the LORD, “You are my God.” Hear, O LORD, my cry for help.
7O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You shield my head in the day of battle.
8Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not promote their evil plans, lest they be exalted. Selah
9May the heads of those who surround me be covered in the trouble their lips have caused.
10May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into the miry pits, never to rise again.
11May no slanderer be established in the land; may calamity hunt down the man of violence.
12I know that the LORD upholds justice for the poor and defends the cause of the needy.
13Surely the righteous will praise Your name; the upright will dwell in Your presence.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. LÍBRAME, oh Jehová, de hombre malo: guárdame de hombre violento;
2Los cuales maquinan males en el corazón, cada día urden contiendas.
3Aguzaron su lengua como la serpiente; veneno de áspid hay debajo de sus labios. (Selah.)
4Guárdame, oh Jehová, de manos del impío, presérvame del hombre injurioso; que han pensado de trastornar mis pasos.
5Hanme escondido lazo y cuerdas los soberbios; han tendido red junto á la senda; me han puesto lazos. (Selah.)
6He dicho á Jehová: Dios mío eres tú; escucha, oh Jehová, la voz de mis ruegos.
7Jehová Señor, fortaleza de mi salud, tú pusiste á cubierto mi cabeza el día de las armas.
8No des, oh Jehová, al impío sus deseos; no saques adelante su pensamiento, que no se ensoberbezca. (Selah.)
9En cuanto á los que por todas partes me rodean, la maldad de sus propios labios cubrirá su cabeza.
10Caerán sobre ellos brasas; Dios los hará caer en el fuego, en profundos hoyos de donde no salgan.
11El hombre deslenguado no será firme en la tierra: el mal cazará al hombre injusto para derribarle.
12Yo sé que hará Jehová el juicio del afligido, el juicio de los menesterosos.
13Ciertamente los justos alabarán tu nombre; los rectos morarán en tu presencia.
King James Version
1Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
2Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah.
4Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
5The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
6I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
7O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
9As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
11Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
12I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
13Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
