Salmos 17
Douay-Rheims Bible
1Unto the end, for David the servant of the Lord, who spoke to the Lord the words of this canticle, in the day that the Lord delivered him from the hands of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. 2 Kings 22
2I will love thee, O Lord, my strength:
3The Lord is my firmament, my refuge, and my deliverer. My God is my helper, and in him will I put my trust. My protector and the horn of my salvation, and my support.
4Praising I will call upon the Lord: and I shall be saved from my enemies.
5The sorrows of death surrounded me: and the torrents of iniquity troubled me.
6The sorrows of hell encompassed me: and the snares of death prevented me.
7In my affliction I called upon the Lord, and I cried to my God: And he heard my voice from his holy temple: and my cry before him came into his ears.
8The earth shook and trembled: the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.
9There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: coals were kindled by it.
10He bowed the heavens, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
11And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; he flew upon the wings of the winds.
12And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.
13At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.
14And the Lord thundered from heaven, and the highest gave his voice: hail and coals of fire.
15And he sent forth his arrows, and he scattered them: he multiplied lightnings, and troubled them.
16Then the fountains of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were discovered: At thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the spirit of thy wrath.
17He sent from on high, and took me: and received me out of many waters.
18He delivered me from my strongest enemies, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19They prevented me in the day of my affliction: and the Lord became my protector.
20And he brought me forth into a large place: he saved me, because he was well pleased with me.
21And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands:
22Because I have kept the ways of the Lord; and have not done wickedly against my God.
23For till his judgments are in my sight: and his justices I have not put away from me.
24And I shall be spotless with him: and shall keep myself from my iniquity.
25And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.
26With the holy, thou wilt be holy; and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent.
27And with the elect thou wilt be elect: and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.
28For thou wilt save the humble people; but wilt bring down the eyes of the proud.
29For thou lightest my lamp, O Lord: O my God enlighten my darkness.
30For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; and through my God I shall go over a wall.
31As for my God, his way is undefiled: the words of the Lord are fire tried: he is the protector of all that trust in him.
32For who is God but the Lord? or who is God but our God?
33God who hath girt me with strength; and made my way blameless.
34Who hath made my feet like the feet of harts: and who setteth me upon high places.
35Who teacheth my hands to war: and thou hast made my arms like a brazen bow.
36And thou hast given me the protection of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up: And thy discipline hath corrected me unto the end: and thy discipline, the same shall teach me.
37Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; and my feet are not weakened.
38I will pursue after my enemies, and overtake them: and I will not turn again till they are consumed.
39I will break them, and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.
40And thou hast girded me with strength unto battle; and hast subdued under me them that rose up against me.
41And thou hast made my enemies turn their back upon me, and hast destroyed them that hated me.
42They cried, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: but he heard them not.
43And I shall beat them as small as the dust before the wind; I shall bring them to nought, like the dirt in the streets.
44Thou wilt deliver me from the contradictions of the people: thou wilt make me head of the Gentiles.
45A people, which I knew not, hath served me: at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed me.
46The children that are strangers have lied to me, strange children have faded away, and have halted from their paths.
47The Lord liveth, and blessed be my God, and let the God of my salvation be exalted:
48O God, who avengest me, and subduest the people under me, my deliverer from my enemies.
49And thou wilt lift me up above them that rise up against me: from the unjust man thou wilt deliver me.
50Therefore will I give glory to thee, O Lord, among the nations, and I will sing a psalm to thy name.
51Giving great deliverance to his king, and shewing mercy to David his anointed: and to his seed for ever.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Oración de David. OYE, oh Jehová, justicia; está atento á mi clamor; escucha mi oración hecha sin labios de engaño.
2De delante de tu rostro salga mi juicio; vean tus ojos la rectitud.
3Tú has probado mi corazón, hasme visitado de noche; me has apurado, y nada inicuo hallaste: heme propuesto que mi boca no ha de propasarse.
4Para las obras humanas, por la palabra de tus labios yo me he guardado de las vías del destructor.
5Sustenta mis pasos en tus caminos, porque mis pies no resbalen.
6Yo te he invocado, por cuanto tú me oirás, oh Dios: inclina á mí tu oído, escucha mi palabra.
7Muestra tus estupendas misericordias, tú que salvas á los que en ti confían de los que se levantan contra tu diestra.
8Guárdame como lo negro de la niñeta del ojo, escóndeme con la sombra de tus alas,
9De delante de los malos que me oprimen, de mis enemigos que me cercan por la vida.
10Cerrados están con su grosura; con su boca hablan soberbiamente.
11Nuestros pasos nos han cercado ahora: puestos tienen sus ojos para echarnos por tierra.
12Parecen al león que desea hacer presa, y al leoncillo que está escondido.
13Levántate, oh Jehová; prevén su encuentro, póstrale: libra mi alma del malo con tu espada;
14De los hombres con tu mano, oh Jehová, de los hombres de mundo, cuya parte es en esta vida, y cuyo vientre hinches de tu tesoro: hartan sus hijos, y dejan el resto á sus chiquitos.
15Yo en justicia veré tu rostro: seré saciado cuando despertare á tu semejanza.

King James Version
1Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
2Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
3Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
8Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
14From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

World English Bible
1Hear, LORD, my righteous plea. Give ear to my prayer that doesn’t go out of deceitful lips.
2Let my sentence come out of your presence. Let your eyes look on equity.
3You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.
4As for the deeds of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.
5My steps have held fast to your paths. My feet have not slipped.
6I have called on you, for you will answer me, God. Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech.
7Show your marvelous loving kindness, you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.
8Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,
9from the wicked who oppress me, my deadly enemies, who surround me.
10They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.
11They have now surrounded us in our steps. They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
12He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13Arise, LORD, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,
14from men by your hand, LORD, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.
15As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.
