Salmos 28:3

3 No me arrastres junto con los perversos
—con los que hacen lo malo—,
los que hablan con sus vecinos amablemente
mientras traman maldades en su corazón.

Salmos 28:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 28:3

Draw me not away with the wicked
That is, with those who are notoriously wicked; who are inwardly and outwardly wicked; whose inward part is very wickedness, and who sell themselves and give up themselves to work wickedness: the sense is, that God would not suffer him to be drawn away, or drawn aside by wicked men, but that he would deliver him from temptation; or that he would not give him up into their hands, to be at their mercy; who he knew would not spare him, if they had him in their power; or that he might not die the death of the wicked, and perish with them; see ( Psalms 26:9 Psalms 26:10 ) ;

and with the workers of iniquity;
who make it the trade and business of their lives to commit sin; and which may be applied, not only to profane sinners, but to professors of religion, ( Matthew 7:23 ) ; since it follows,

which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief [is] in their
hearts;
hypocrites, double minded men, who have a form of godliness, but deny the power of it; pretend to religion, and have none; and speak fair to the face, but design mischief and ruin; as Saul and his servants did to David, ( 1 Samuel 18:17 1 Samuel 18:22 ) .

Salmos 28:3 In-Context

1 Salmo 28
Salmo de David.
A ti elevo mi oración, oh Señor
, roca mía;
no cierres tus oídos a mi voz.
Pues si guardas silencio,
mejor sería darme por vencido y morir.

2 Escucha mi oración que pide misericordia,
cuando clamo a ti por ayuda,
cuando levanto mis manos hacia tu santo templo.

3 No me arrastres junto con los perversos
—con los que hacen lo malo—,
los que hablan con sus vecinos amablemente
mientras traman maldades en su corazón.

4 ¡Dales el castigo que tanto merecen!
Mídelo en proporción a su maldad.
¡Págales conforme a todas sus malas acciones!
Hazles probar en carne propia lo que ellos les han hecho a otros.

5 No les importa nada lo que el Señor
hizo
ni lo que sus manos crearon.
Por lo tanto, él los derrumbará
y, ¡jamás serán reconstruidos!
