Oración para la hora de acostarse

Al músico principal. Con Neguinot[a]. Salmo de David.

¡Respóndeme cuando clamo,
oh Dios de mi justicia[b]!
Tú que en la angustia ensanchaste
mi camino,
ten misericordia de mí
y oye mi oración.
Oh hijos del hombre,
¿hasta cuándo convertirán mi honra en infamia, amarán la vanidad y buscarán el engaño? Selah[c]
Sepan que el SEÑOR ha apartado al piadoso para sí;
el SEÑOR oirá cuando yo clame a él.
Tiemblen y no pequen.
Reflexionen en su corazón sobre
su cama y estén en silencio. Selah[d]
Ofrezcan sacrificios de justicia
y confíen en el SEÑOR.
Muchos dicen:
“¿Quién nos mostrará el bien?”. Haz brillar sobre nosotros, oh SEÑOR, la luz de tu rostro.
Tú has dado tal alegría a mi corazón que sobrepasa a la alegría que ellos tienen con motivo de su siega y de su vendimia.
En paz me acostaré y dormiré; porque solo tú, oh SEÑOR,
me haces vivir seguro.

The Safety of the Faithful

To the [a]Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress;
[b]Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

How long, O you sons of men,
Will you turn my glory to shame?
How long will you love worthlessness
And seek falsehood? Selah
But know that (A)the Lord has [c]set apart for Himself him who is godly;
The Lord will hear when I call to Him.

(B)Be[d] angry, and do not sin.
(C)Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah
Offer (D)the sacrifices of righteousness,
And (E)put your trust in the Lord.

There are many who say,
“Who will show us any good?”
(F)Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.
You have put (G)gladness in my heart,
More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.
(H)I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
(I)For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Answer Me When I Call

To the (A)choirmaster: with (B)stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

Answer me when I call, O God of my (C)righteousness!
    You have (D)given me relief when I was in distress.
    Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!

O men,[a] how long shall my honor be turned into shame?
    How long will you love vain words and seek after (E)lies? Selah
But know that the Lord has (F)set apart (G)the godly for himself;
    the Lord hears when I call to him.

(H)Be angry,[b] and do not sin;
    (I)ponder in your own hearts (J)on your beds, and be silent. Selah
Offer (K)right sacrifices,
    and put your (L)trust in the Lord.

There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?
    (M)Lift up (N)the light of your face upon us, O Lord!”
You have put (O)more joy in my heart
    than they have when their grain and wine abound.

In peace I will both (P)lie down and sleep;
    for you alone, O Lord, make me (Q)dwell in safety.
