Psalm 17New King James Version
Prayer with Confidence in Final Salvation
A Prayer of David.
17 Hear a just cause, O Lord,
Attend to my cry;
Give ear to my prayer which is not from deceitful lips.
2 Let my vindication come from Your presence;
Let Your eyes look on the things that are upright.

3 You have tested my heart;
You have visited me in the night;
You have tried me and have found nothing;
I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men,
By the word of Your lips,
I have kept away from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Uphold my steps in Your paths,
That my footsteps may not slip.

6 I have called upon You, for You will hear me, O God;
Incline Your ear to me, and hear my speech.
7 Show Your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand,
O You who save those who trust in You
From those who rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of Your eye;
Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,
9 From the wicked who oppress me,
From my deadly enemies who surround me.

10 They have closed up their fat hearts;
With their mouths they speak proudly.
11 They have now surrounded us in our steps;
They have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth,
12 As a lion is eager to tear his prey,
And like a young lion lurking in secret places.

13 Arise, O Lord,
Confront him, cast him down;
Deliver my life from the wicked with Your sword,
14 With Your hand from men, O Lord,
From men of the world who have their portion in this life,
And whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure.
They are satisfied with children,
And leave the rest of their possession for their babes.

15 As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness;
I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.

La oración de un hombre justo
17 Oración de David.

Escucha, oh SEÑOR, una causa justa; atiende a mi clamor.
Presta oído a mi oración que es
de labios sin engaño.
2 Proceda de tu presencia mi
vindicación;
vean tus ojos la rectitud.
3 Tú has examinado mi corazón; me has visitado de noche.
Me has probado y nada infame has hallado
porque me he propuesto que mi boca no se exceda.
4 En cuanto a las obras de los hombres, por la palabra de tus labios me he guardado de las sendas de los violentos.
5 Mis pasos se han mantenido en tus caminos
para que mis pies no resbalen.
6 Yo te invoco, porque tú oirás, oh Dios. Inclina a mí tu oído; escucha mi palabra.
7 Muestra tus maravillosos actos
de misericordia,
tú que, a los que confían, libras con tu diestra de los que se levantan contra ti.
8 Guárdame como a la niña de tu ojo;
escóndeme bajo la sombra de tus alas
9 de la vista de los impíos que
me oprimen,
y de mis enemigos mortales que me rodean.
10 Ellos están protegidos con su propio sebo;
con su boca hablan con soberbia.
11 Han rodeado nuestros pasos; sobre nosotros ponen sus ojos para echarnos por tierra.
12 Se parecen al león que anhela la presa,
o al cachorro de león que se agacha en secreto.
13 ¡Levántate, oh SEÑOR!
¡Hazle frente! ¡Somételo!
Con tu espada libra mi alma de los impíos.
14 Oh SEÑOR, líbrame con tu mano
de los hombres,
de los hombres de este mundo cuya parte está en esta vida;
cuyos vientres llenas con tus tesoros, cuyos hijos se sacian
y aun dejan para sus pequeños.
15 En cuanto a mí,
en justicia veré tu rostro;
quedaré satisfecho cuando despierte a tu semejanza.
