1A psalm for Asaph. How good is God to Israel, to them that are of a right heart!
1Para Salomón. OH Dios, da tus juicios al rey, y tu justicia al hijo del rey.
2But my feet were almost moved; my steps had well nigh slipped.
2El juzgará tu pueblo con justicia, y tus afligidos con juicio.
3Because I had a zeal on occasion of the wicked, seeing the prosperity of sinners.
3Los montes llevarán paz al pueblo, y los collados justicia.
4For there is no regard to their death, nor is there strength in their stripes.
4Juzgará los afligidos del pueblo, salvará los hijos del menesteroso, y quebrantará al violento.
5They are not in the labour of men: neither shall they be scourged like other men.
5Temerte han mientras duren el sol y la luna, por generación de generaciones.
6Therefore pride hath held them fast: they are covered with their iniquity and their wickedness.
6Descenderá como la lluvia sobre la hierba cortada; como el rocío que destila sobre la tierra.
7Their iniquity hath come forth, as it were from fatness: they have passed into the affection of the heart.
7Florecerá en sus días justicia, y muchedumbre de paz, hasta que no haya luna.
8They have thought and spoken wickedness: they have spoken iniquity on high.
8Y dominará de mar á mar, y desde el río hasta los cabos de la tierra.
9They have set their mouth against heaven: and their tongue hath passed through the earth.
9Delante de él se postrarán los Etiopes; y sus enemigos lamerán la tierra.
10Therefore will my people return here and full days shall be found in them.
10Los reyes de Tharsis y de las islas traerán presentes: los reyes de Sheba y de Seba ofrecerán dones.
11And they said: How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
11Y arrodillarse han á él todos los reyes; le servirán todas las gentes.
12Behold these are sinners; and yet abounding in the world they have obtained riches.
12Porque él librará al menesteroso que clamare, y al afligido que no tuviere quien le socorra.
13And I said: Then have I in vain justified my heart, and washed my hands among the innocent.
13Tendrá misericordia del pobre y del menesteroso, y salvará las almas de los pobres.
14And I have been scourged all the day; and my chastisement hath been in the mornings.
14De engaño y de violencia redimirá sus almas; y la sangre de ellos será preciosa en sus ojos.
15If I said: I will speak thus; behold I should condemn the generation of thy children.
15Y vivirá, y darásele del oro de Seba; y oraráse por él continuamente; todo el día se le bendecirá.
16I studied that I might know this thing, it is a labour in my sight:
16Será echado un puño de grano en tierra, en las cumbres de los montes; su fruto hará ruido como el Líbano, y los de la ciudad florecerán como la hierba de la tierra.
17Until I go into the sanctuary of God, and understand concerning their last ends.
17Será su nombre para siempre, perpetuaráse su nombre mientras el sol dure: y benditas serán en él todas las gentes: llamarlo han bienaventurado.
18But indeed for deceits thou hast put it to them: when they were lifted up thou hast cast them down.
18Bendito Jehová Dios, el Dios de Israel, que solo hace maravillas.
19How are they brought to desolation? they have suddenly ceased to be: they have perished by reason of their iniquity.
19Y bendito su nombre glorioso para siempre: y toda la tierra sea llena de su gloria. Amén y Amén.
20As the dream of them that awake, O Lord; so in thy city thou shalt bring their image to nothing.
20Acábanse las oraciones de David, hijo de Isaí.
21For my heart hath been inflamed, and my reins have been changed:
