Psalms 56
1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Silent Dove in Distant Lands.” A poem by David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.
Ten misericordia de mí, o! Dios; porque me traga el hombre; cada día batallándome aprieta.
2 My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.
Tráganme mis enemigos cada día: porque muchos son los que pelean contra mí, o! Altísimo.
3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
De día temo: mas yo en ti confío.
4 In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
En Dios alabaré su palabra: en Dios he confiado, no temeré lo que la carne me hará.
5 All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
Todos los días me contristan mis negocios: contra mí son todos sus pensamientos para mal.
6 They conspire and lurk, watching my steps. They are eager to take my life.
Congréganse, escóndense, ellos miran atentamente mis pisadas esperando mi alma.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.
¿Por la iniquidad escaparán ellos? o! Dios, derriba los pueblos con furor.
8 You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?
Mis huidas has contado tú; pon mis lágrimas en tu odre, ciertamente en tu libro.
9 Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this: that God is for me.
Entonces serán vueltos atrás mis enemigos el día que yo clamare: en esto conozco que Dios es por mí.
10 In God, I will praise his word. In Yahweh, I will praise his word.
En Dios alabaré su palabra; en Jehová alabaré su palabra.
11 I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
En Dios he confiado, no temeré lo que el hombre me hará.
12 Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.
Sobre mí, o! Dios, están tus votos: alabanzas te pagaré.
13 For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
Por cuanto has escapado mi vida de la muerte, ciertamente mis pies de caída: para que ande delante de Dios en la luz de los que viven.
