Antiguo Testamento

Psalms — Capítulo 5

Jesus and the apostles loved the book of Psalms—they quoted from it and lived out of it. These ancient prayers and praises of Israel provide a bridge between the Old Testament and the New Testament; the themes introduced in the psalms find further development in the New Testament. Where David’s dynasty failed, Jesus gives hope. Yet, certain expectations that emerge in the book of Psalms still r…

1Escucha, oh Jehová, mis palabras; Considera mi gemir.

2Está atento a la voz de mi clamor, Rey mío y Dios mío, Porque a ti oraré.

3Oh Jehová, de mañana oirás mi voz; De mañana me presentaré delante de ti, y esperaré.

4Porque tú no eres un Dios que se complace en la maldad; El malo no habitará junto a ti.

5Los insensatos no estarán delante de tus ojos; Aborreces a todos los que hacen iniquidad.

6Destruirás a los que hablan mentira; Al hombre sanguinario y engañador abominará Jehová.

7Mas yo por la abundancia de tu misericordia entraré en tu casa; Adoraré hacia tu santo templo en tu temor.

8Guíame, Jehová, en tu justicia, a causa de mis enemigos; Endereza delante de mí tu camino.

9Porque en la boca de ellos no hay sinceridad; Sus entrañas son maldad, Sepulcro abierto es su garganta, Con su lengua hablan lisonjas.

10Castígalos, oh Dios; Caigan por sus mismos consejos; Por la multitud de sus transgresiones échalos fuera, Porque se rebelaron contra ti.

11Pero alégrense todos los que en ti confían; Den voces de júbilo para siempre, porque tú los defiendes; En ti se regocijen los que aman tu nombre.

12Porque tú, oh Jehová, bendecirás al justo; Como con un escudo lo rodearás de tu favor.

Ps 5 This morning prayer (5:3) expresses unwavering confidence in the Lord’s help and protection. The psalmist asks for and awaits God’s response (5:1-3). He describes the schemes of the wicked in detail but does not get lost in his circumstances. The psalmist also knows that the wicked cannot coexist with God (5:4-6, 9; see 1:5). He keeps returning to the Lord (5:7-8, 10; see 5:1-3), and then he prays for the godly community (5:10-12; see 3:8). 5:1-2 The request hear me appears in several prayers as a call for God’s attention during a time of trouble (39:12; 84:8; 143:1), as does pay attention (17:1; 54:2; 130:2). The needy ask their God, “Are you listening?”

5:8 God guides those who are obedient, submissive, and patient in waiting for him to lead, provide, and protect them (27:11; 43:3; 143:10), not those who expect God simply to endorse their own decisions. • Following the right path of wisdom leads to the Lord (27:11; 61:2; 139:24).

5:11 A blessing rests on all who take refuge in God (see 18:30). • Joy and praise make good companions. The godly rejoice when they see evidence of God’s rescue. They sing joyful praises as a new song (see 33:3). When the Lord restores peace to this world, puts down evil, and rewards the righteous, they will have lasting joy (9:2-4; 53:6; 90:14-15; 118:24). • The children of God, who find refuge in him, love his name. To love his name is to love his very character.
