Salmos 34
1De David. Disputa mi causa, oh Yahvé, contra mis contendores; combate Tú a los que me combaten. Of David himself. O Lord, judge those who harm me; assail those who attack me.2Echa mano al escudo y al broquel, y levántate en mi socorro. Take hold of weapons and a shield, and rise up in assistance to me.3Empuña la lanza, y cierra contra mis perseguidores. Dile a mi alma: “Tu salvación soy Yo.” Bring forth the spear, and close in on those who persecute me. Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”4Queden confusos y avergonzados los que buscan mi vida. Vuelvan atrás, cubiertos de oprobio los que maquinan mi perdición. Let them be confounded and in awe, who pursue my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded, who think up evil against me.5Sean como la paja ante el viento, acosados por el Ángel de Yahvé. May they become like dust before the face of the wind, and let the Angel of the Lord hem them in.6Sea su camino obscuro y resbaloso, cuando el Ángel de Yahvé los persiga. May their way become dark and slippery, and may the Angel of the Lord pursue them.7Porque sin causa me tendieron su red; y sin causa cavaron una fosa para mi vida. For, without cause, they have concealed their snare for me unto destruction. Over nothing, they have rebuked my soul.8Venga sobre ellos la muerte inesperada, y préndalos la red que para mí escondieron; caigan en la fosa que ellos mismos cavaron. Let the snare, of which he is ignorant, come upon him, and let the deception, which he has hidden, take hold of him: and may he fall into that very snare.9Y mi alma se regocijará en Yahvé, y se alegrará de su auxilio. But my soul will exult in the Lord and delight over his salvation.10Todos mis huesos dirán: ¿Quién como Tú, Yahvé, que libras del prepotente al desvalido, y al pobre y afligido de la mano del que lo despoja? All my bones will say, “Lord, who is like you?” He rescues the needy from the hand of the stronger one, the indigent and the poor from those who plunder him.11Se levantaron testigos de iniquidad; me pedían cuentas de cosas que yo ni conocía. Unfair witnesses have risen up, interrogating me about things of which I am ignorant.12Por el bien me devolvían mal, para desolación de mi alma. They repaid me evil for good, to the deprivation of my soul.13En tanto que yo, cuando ellos enfermaban, vestía de cilicio, me maceraba con el ayuno, y mis plegarias me golpeaban el seno. But as for me, when they were harassing me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting, and my prayer will become my sinews.14Me portaba como con un amigo, como con un hermano; me encorvaba triste, como quien llora a una madre. Like a neighbor, and like our brother, so did I please; like one mourning and contrite, so was I humbled.15Ellos, en cambio, se alegraron en mi adversidad, y se juntaron; coligados contra mí me hirieron de improviso, me laceraron sin tregua. And they have been joyful against me, and they joined together. Scourges have been gathered over me, and I was ignorant of it.16Entre impíos burladores de torta redonda, rechinaron contra mí sus dientes. They have been scattered, yet they were unremorseful. They have tested me. They scoffed at me with scorn. They gnashed their teeth over me.17¿Hasta cuándo. Señor, lo estarás viendo? libra de sus maldades mi vida, de los leones a mi único bien. Lord, when will you look down upon me? Restore my soul from before their malice, my only one from before the lions.18Te daré gracias en la gran asamblea, te alabare ante un pueblo numeroso. I will confess to you in a great Church. I will praise you among a weighty people.19No se alegren a costa mía mis injustos enemigos; no se hagan guiños de ojo los que sin causa me odian, May those who are my unjust adversaries not be glad over me: those who have hated me without cause, and who nod agreement with their eyes.20porque ni siquiera hablan de paz, y planean traidoramente fraudes contra los pacíficos de la tierra. For indeed, they spoke peacefully to me; and speaking with passion to the earth, they intended deceit.21Ensanchan contra mí sus bocas y dicen: “aja, aja; lo hemos visto con nuestros propios ojos”. And they opened their mouth wide over me. They said, “Well, well, our eyes have seen.”22Tú, Yahvé, sí que lo has visto; no calles, Señor, no quieras estar lejos de mí. You have seen, O Lord, do not be silent. Lord, do not depart from me.23Despierta y vela por mi defensa, por mi causa, Dios mío y Señor mío. Rise up and be attentive to my judgment, to my cause, my God and my Lord.24Júzgame Tú según tu justicia, Yahvé, Dios mío, que no se alegren a mi costa; Judge me according to your justice, O Lord, my God, and do not let them be glad over me.25que no piensen en su corazón: “Hemos salido con nuestro deseo”; no digan: “Lo hemos devorado.” Do not let them say in their hearts, “Well, well, to our soul.” Neither let them say, “We have devoured him.”26Confundidos sean y abochornados a una los que se gozan en mi mal. Sean cubiertos de vergüenza e ignominia los que se ensoberbecen contra mí. Let them blush and be in awe together, those who congratulate at my misfortunes. Let them be clothed with confusion and awe, who speak great things against me.27Alégrense y gócense los que comparten mi causa, y digan siempre: “Grande es Yahvé que se deleita en la paz de su siervo.” Let them exult and rejoice, who wish my justice, and let them ever say, “The Lord be magnified,” who will the peace of his servant.28Y mi lengua proclamará tu justicia; y tu alabanza perpetuamente. And so my tongue will express your justice: your praise all day long.
