1 Salmo de David. OH Jehová, oye mi oración, escucha mis ruegos: Respóndeme por tu verdad, por tu justicia.

2 Y no entres en juicio con tu siervo; Porque no se justificará delante de ti ningún viviente.

3 Porque ha perseguido el enemigo mi alma; Ha postrado en tierra mi vida; Hame hecho habitar en tinieblas como los ya muertos.

4 Y mi espíritu se angustió dentro de mí; Pasmóse mi corazón.

5 Acordéme de los días antiguos; Meditaba en todas tus obras, Reflexionaba en las obras de tus manos.

6 Extendí mis manos á ti; Mi alma á ti como la tierra sedienta. (Selah.)

7 Respóndeme presto, oh Jehová que desmaya mi espíritu: No escondas de mí tu rostro, Y venga yo á ser semejante á los que descienden á la sepultura.

8 Hazme oir por la mañana tu misericordia, Porque en ti he confiado: Hazme saber el camino por donde ande, Porque á ti he alzado mi alma

9 Líbrame de mis enemigos, oh Jehová: A ti me acojo.

10 Enséñame á hacer tu voluntad, porque tú eres mi Dios: Tu buen espíritu me guíe á tierra de rectitud.

11 Por tu nombre, oh Jehová me vivificarás: Por tu justicia, sacarás mi alma de angustia.

12 Y por tu misericordia disiparás mis enemigos, Y destruirás todos los adversarios de mi alma: Porque yo soy tu siervo.

1 A Psalm. Of David. Let my prayer come to you, O Lord; give ear to my requests for your grace; keep faith with me, and give me an answer in your righteousness;

2 Let not your servant come before you to be judged; for no man living is upright in your eyes.

3 The evil man has gone after my soul; my life is crushed down to the earth: he has put me in the dark, like those who have long been dead.

4 Because of this my spirit is overcome; and my heart is full of fear.

5 I keep in mind the early days of the past, giving thought to all your acts, even to the work of your hands.

6 My hands are stretched out to you: my soul is turned to you, like a land in need of water. (Selah.)

7 Be quick in answering me, O Lord, for the strength of my spirit is gone: let me see your face, so that I may not be like those who go down into the underworld.

8 Let the story of your mercy come to me in the morning, for my hope is in you: give me knowledge of the way in which I am to go; for my soul is lifted up to you.

9 O Lord, take me out of the hands of my haters; my soul is waiting for you.

10 Give me teaching so that I may do your pleasure; for you are my God: let your good Spirit be my guide into the land of righteousness.

11 Give me life, O Lord, because of your name; in your righteousness take my soul out of trouble.

12 And in your mercy put an end to my haters, and send destruction on all those who are against my soul; for I am your servant.
