Rómpeles, oh Dios, los dientes;
    ¡arráncales, Señor, los colmillos a esos leones!
Que se escurran, como el agua entre los dedos;
    que se rompan sus flechas al tensar el arco.
Que se disuelvan, como babosa rastrera;
    que no vean la luz, cual si fueran abortos.
Que, sin darse cuenta, ardan como espinos;
    que el viento los arrastre, estén verdes o secos.

Break the teeth in their mouths, O God;(A)
    Lord, tear out the fangs of those lions!(B)
Let them vanish like water that flows away;(C)
    when they draw the bow, let their arrows fall short.(D)
May they be like a slug that melts away as it moves along,(E)
    like a stillborn child(F) that never sees the sun.

Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns(G)
    whether they be green or dry—the wicked will be swept away.[a](H)
