Salmos 101

Catholic Public Domain Version

1The prayer of the pauper, when he was anxious, and so he poured out his petition in the sight of the Lord.

2O Lord, hear my prayer, and let my outcry reach you.

3Do not turn your face away from me. In whatever day that I am in trouble, incline your ear to me. In whatever day that I will call upon you, heed me quickly.

4For my days have faded away like smoke, and my bones have dried out like firewood.

5I have been cut down like hay, and my heart has withered, for I had forgotten to eat my bread.

6Before the voice of my groaning, my bone has adhered to my flesh.

7I have become like a pelican in solitude. I have become like a night raven in a house.

8I have kept vigil, and I have become like a solitary sparrow on a roof.

9All day long my enemies reproached me, and those who praised me swore oaths against me.

10For I chewed on ashes like bread, and I mixed weeping into my drink.

11By the face of your anger and indignation, you lifted me up and threw me down.

12My days have declined like a shadow, and I have dried out like hay.

13But you, O Lord, endure for eternity, and your memorial is from generation to generation.

14You will rise up and take pity on Zion, for it is time for its mercy, for the time has come.

15For its stones have pleased your servants, and they will take pity on its land.

16And the Gentiles will fear your name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth your glory.

17For the Lord has built up Zion, and he will be seen in his glory.

18He has noticed the prayer of the humble, and he has not despised their petition.

19Let these things be written in another generation, and the people who will be created will praise the Lord.

20For he has gazed from his high sanctuary. From heaven, the Lord has beheld the earth.

21So may he hear the groans of those in shackles, in order that he may release the sons of the slain.

22So may they announce the name of the Lord in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem:

23while the people convene, along with kings, in order that they may serve the Lord.

24He responded to him in the way of his virtue: Declare to me the brevity of my days.

25Do not call me back in the middle of my days: your years are from generation to generation.

26In the beginning, O Lord, you founded the earth. And the heavens are the work of your hands.

27They will perish, but you remain. And all will grow old like a garment. And, like a blanket, you will change them, and they will be changed.

28Yet you are ever yourself, and your years will not decline.

29The sons of your servants will live, and their offspring will be guided aright in every age.

Reina-Valera 1909

1Salmo de David. MISERICORDIA y juicio cantaré: á ti cantaré yo, oh Jehová.

2Entenderé en el camino de la perfección cuando vinieres á mí: en integridad de mi corazón andaré en medio de mi casa.

3No pondré delante de mis ojos cosa injusta: aborrezco la obra de los que se desvían: ninguno de ellos se allegará á mí.

4Corazón perverso se apartará de mí; no conoceré al malvado.

5Al que solapadamente infama á su prójimo, yo le cortaré; no sufriré al de ojos altaneros, y de corazón vanidoso.

6Mis ojos pondré en los fieles de la tierra, para que estén conmigo: el que anduviere en el camino de la perfección, éste me servirá.

7No habitará dentro de mi casa el que hace fraude: el que habla mentiras no se afirmará delante de mis ojos.

8Por las mañanas cortaré á todos los impíos de la tierra; para extirpar de la ciudad de Jehová á todos los que obraren iniquidad.

King James Version

1I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.

2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

4A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

6Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

8I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

World English Bible

1I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, LORD, I will sing praises.

2I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

3I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

4A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

5I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is arrogant and conceited.

6My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.

7He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.

8Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the LORD’s city.
