1Ten misericordia de mí, oh Dios, ten misericordia de mí; Porque en ti ha confiado mi alma, Y en la sombra de tus alas me ampararé Hasta que pasen los quebrantos.

2Clamaré al Dios Altísimo, Al Dios que me favorece.

3Él enviará desde los cielos, y me salvará De la infamia del que me acosa; Dios enviará su misericordia y su verdad.

4Mi vida está entre leones; Estoy echado entre hijos de hombres que vomitan llamas; Sus dientes son lanzas y saetas, Y su lengua espada aguda.

5Exaltado seas sobre los cielos, oh Dios; Sobre toda la tierra sea tu gloria.

6Red han armado a mis pasos; Se ha abatido mi alma; Hoyo han cavado delante de mí; En medio de él han caído ellos mismos.

7Pronto está mi corazón, oh Dios, mi corazón está dispuesto; Cantaré, y trovaré salmos.

8Despierta, alma mía; despierta, salterio y arpa; Me levantaré de mañana.

9Te alabaré entre los pueblos, oh Señor; Cantaré de ti entre las naciones.

10Porque grande es hasta los cielos tu misericordia, Y hasta las nubes tu verdad.

11Exaltado seas sobre los cielos, oh Dios; Sobre toda la tierra sea tu gloria.
