World English Bible
Reina-Valera 1909
1I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
1YO soy el hombre que ha visto aflicción en la vara de su enojo.
2He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.
2Guióme y llevóme en tinieblas, mas no en luz.
3Surely he turns his hand against me again and again all day long.
3Ciertamente contra mí volvió y revolvió su mano todo el día.
4He has made my flesh and my skin old. He has broken my bones.
4Hizo envejecer mi carne y mi piel; quebrantó mis huesos.
5He has built against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
5Edificó contra mí, y cercóme de tósigo y de trabajo.
6He has made me dwell in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
6Asentóme en oscuridades, como los ya muertos de mucho tiempo.
7He has walled me about, so that I can’t go out. He has made my chain heavy.
7Cercóme por todos lados, y no puedo salir; agravó mis grillos.
8Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.
8Aun cuando clamé y dí voces, cerro los oídos á mi oración.
9He has walled up my ways with cut stone. He has made my paths crooked.
9Cercó mis caminos con piedra tajada, torció mis senderos.
10He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in hiding.
10Como oso que acecha fué para mí, como león en escondrijos.
11He has turned away my path, and pulled me in pieces. He has made me desolate.
11Torció mis caminos, y depedazóme; tornóme asolado.
12He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
12Su arco entesó, y púsome como blanco á la saeta.
13He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys.
13Hizo entrar en mis riñones las saetas de su aljaba.
14I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all day long.
14Fuí escarnio á todo mi pueblo, canción de ellos todos los días.
15He has filled me with bitterness. He has stuffed me with wormwood.
15Hartóme de amarguras, embriagóme de ajenjos.
16He has also broken my teeth with gravel. He has covered me with ashes.
16Quebróme los dientes con cascajo, cubrióme de ceniza.
17You have removed my soul far away from peace. I forgot prosperity.
17Y mi alma se alejó de la paz, olvidéme del bien.
18I said, “My strength has perished, along with my expectation from the LORD.”
18Y dije: Pereció mi fortaleza, y mi esperanza de Jehová.
19Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the bitterness.
19Acuérdate de mi aflicción y de mi abatimiento, del ajenjo y de la hiel.
20My soul still remembers them, and is bowed down within me.
20Tendrálo aún en memoria mi alma, porque en mí está humillada.
21This I recall to my mind; therefore I have hope.
21Esto reduciré á mi corazón, por lo cual esperaré.
22It is because of the LORD’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his mercies don’t fail.
22Es por la misericordia de Jehová que no somos consumidos, porque nunca decayeron sus misericordias.
23They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.
23Nuevas son cada mañana; grande es tu fidelidad.
24“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul. “Therefore I will hope in him.”
24Mi parte es Jehová, dijo mi alma; por tanto en él esperaré.
25The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.
25Bueno es Jehová á los que en él esperan, al alma que le buscare.
26It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
26Bueno es esperar callando en la salud de Jehová.
27It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
27Bueno es al hombre, si llevare el yugo desde su mocedad.
28Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it on him.
28Sentaráse solo, y callará, porque lo llevó sobre sí.
29Let him put his mouth in the dust, if it is so that there may be hope.
29Pondrá su boca en el polvo, por si quizá hay esperanza.
30Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him. Let him be filled full of reproach.
30Dará la mejilla al que le hiriere; hartaráse de afrenta.
31For the Lord will not cast off forever.
31Porque el Señor no desechará para siempre:
32For though he causes grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
32Antes si afligiere, también se compadecerá según la multitud de sus misericordias.
33For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
33Porque no aflige ni congoja de su corazón á los hijos de los hombres.
34To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
34Desmenuzar bajo de sus pies todos los encarcelados de la tierra,
35to turn away the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
35Hacer apartar el derecho del hombre ante la presencia del Altísimo,
36to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn’t approve.
36Trastornar al hombre en su causa, el Señor no lo sabe.
37Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn’t command it?
37¿Quién será aquel que diga, que vino algo que el Señor no mandó?
38Doesn’t evil and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?
38¿De la boca del Altísimo no saldrá malo y bueno?
39Why should a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
39¿Por qué murmura el hombre viviente, el hombre en su pecado?
40Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
40Escudriñemos nuestros caminos, y busquemos, y volvámonos á Jehová.
41Let’s lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.
41Levantemos nuestros corazones con las manos á Dios en los cielos.
42“We have transgressed and have rebelled. You have not pardoned.
42Nosotros nos hemos rebelado, y fuimos desleales; tú no perdonaste.
43“You have covered us with anger and pursued us. You have killed. You have not pitied.
43Desplegaste la ira, y nos perseguiste; mataste, no perdonaste.
44You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
44Te cubriste de nube, porque no pasase la oración nuestra .
45You have made us an off-scouring and refuse in the middle of the peoples.
45Raedura y abominación nos tornaste en medio de los pueblos.
46“All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
46Todos nuestros enemigos abrieron sobre nosotros su boca.
47Terror and the pit have come on us, devastation and destruction.”
47Temor y lazo fué para nosotros, asolamiento y quebrantamiento.
48My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
48Ríos de aguas echan mis ojos, por el quebrantamiento de la hija de mi pueblo.
49My eye pours down and doesn’t cease, without any intermission,
49Mis ojos destilan, y no cesan, porque no hay alivio,
50until the LORD looks down, and sees from heaven.
50Hasta que Jehová mire y vea desde los cielos.
51My eye affects my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
51Mis ojos contristaron mi alma, por todas las hijas de mi ciudad.
52They have chased me relentlessly like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause.
52Mis enemigos me dieron caza como á ave, sin por qué.
53They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone on me.
53Ataron mi vida en mazmorra, pusieron piedra sobre mí.
54Waters flowed over my head. I said, “I am cut off.”
54Aguas de avenida vinieron sobre mi cabeza; yo dije: Muerto soy.
55I called on your name, LORD, out of the lowest dungeon.
55Invoqué tu nombre, oh Jehová, desde la cárcel profunda.
56You heard my voice: “Don’t hide your ear from my sighing, and my cry.”
56Oiste mi voz; no escondas tu oído á mi clamor, para mi respiro.
57You came near in the day that I called on you. You said, “Don’t be afraid.”
57Acercástete el día que te invoqué: dijiste: No temas.
58Lord, you have pleaded the causes of my soul. You have redeemed my life.
58Abogaste, Señor, la causa de mi alma; redimiste mi vida.
59LORD, you have seen my wrong. Judge my cause.
59Tú has visto, oh Jehová, mi agravio; defiende mi causa.
60You have seen all their vengeance and all their plans against me.
60Tú has visto toda su venganza; todos sus pensamientos contra mí.
61You have heard their reproach, LORD, and all their plans against me,
61Tú has oído el oprobio de ellos, oh Jehová, todas sus maquinaciones contra mí;
62the lips of those that rose up against me, and their plots against me all day long.
62Los dichos de los que contra mí se levantaron, y su designio contra mí todo el día.
63You see their sitting down and their rising up. I am their song.
63Su sentarse, y su levantarse mira: yo soy su canción.
64You will pay them back, LORD, according to the work of their hands.
64Dales el pago, oh Jehová, según la obra de sus manos.
65You will give them hardness of heart, your curse to them.
65Dales ansia de corazón, tu maldición á ellos.
66You will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD.
66Persíguelos en tu furor, y quebrántalos de debajo de los cielos, oh Jehová.
