Nueva Versión Internacional NVI
New International Version NIV
1 ¿Por qué, SEÑOR, te mantienes distante?¿Por qué te escondes en momentos de angustia?
1
Why, LORD, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2 Con arrogancia persigue el malvado al indefenso,pero se enredará en sus propias artimañas.
2
In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises.
3 El malvado hace alarde de su propia codicia;alaba al ambicioso y menosprecia al SEÑOR.
3
He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
4 El malvado levanta insolente la nariz,y no da lugar a Dios en sus pensamientos.
4
In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
5 Todas sus empresas son siempre exitosas;tan altos y alejados de él están tus juiciosque se burla de todos sus enemigos.
5
His ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by him; he sneers at all his enemies.
6 Y se dice a sí mismo: «Nada me hará caer.Siempre seré feliz. Nunca tendré problemas».
6
He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.” He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”
7 Llena está su boca de maldiciones,de mentiras y amenazas;bajo su lengua esconde maldad y violencia.
7
His mouth is full of lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue.
8 Se pone al acecho en las aldeas,se esconde en espera de sus víctimas,y asesina a mansalva al inocente.
8
He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent. His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
9 Cual león en su guarida se agazapa,listo para atrapar al indefenso;le cae encima y lo arrastra en su red.
9
like a lion in cover he lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
10 Bajo el peso de su poder,sus víctimas caen por tierra.
10
His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength.
11 Se dice a sí mismo: «Dios se ha olvidado.Se cubre el rostro. Nunca ve nada».
11
He says to himself, “God will never notice; he covers his face and never sees.”
12 ¡Levántate, SEÑOR!¡Levanta, oh Dios, tu brazo!¡No te olvides de los indefensos!
12
Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.
13 ¿Por qué te ha de menospreciar el malvado?¿Por qué ha de pensar que no lo llamarás a cuentas?
13
Why does the wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself, “He won’t call me to account”?
14 Pero tú ves la opresión y la violencia,las tomas en cuenta y te harás cargo de ellas.Las víctimas confían en ti;tú eres la ayuda de los huérfanos.
14
But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
15 ¡Rómpeles el brazo al malvado y al impío!¡Pídeles cuentas de su maldad,y haz que desaparezcan por completo!
15
Break the arm of the wicked man; call the evildoer to account for his wickedness that would not otherwise be found out.
16 El SEÑOR es rey eterno;los paganos serán borrados de su tierra.
16
The LORD is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land.
17 Tú, SEÑOR, escuchas la petición de los indefensos,les infundes aliento y atiendes a su clamor.
17
You, LORD, hear the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
18 Tú defiendes al huérfano y al oprimido,para que el hombre, hecho de tierra,no siga ya sembrando el terror.
18
defending the fatherless and the oppressed, so that mere earthly mortals will never again strike terror.
