Salmos 71

1 EN ti, oh Jehová, he esperado; no sea yo confuso para siempre.

In you, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.

2 Hazme escapar, y líbrame en tu justicia: inclina tu oído y sálvame.

Deliver me in your righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline your ear to me, and save me.

3 Séme por peña de estancia, adonde recurra yo continuamente: mandado has que yo sea salvo; porque tú eres mi roca, y mi fortaleza.

Be you my strong habitation, where I may continually resort: you have given commandment to save me; for you are my rock and my fortress.

4 Dios mío, líbrame de la mano del impío, de la mano del perverso y violento.

Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

5 Porque tú, oh Señor Jehová, eres mi esperanza: seguridad mía desde mi juventud.

For you are my hope, O Lord GOD: you are my trust from my youth.

6 Por ti he sido sustentado desde el vientre: de las entrañas de mi madre tú fuiste el que me sacaste: de ti será siempre mi alabanza.

By you have I been held up from the womb: you are he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise shall be continually of you.

7 Como prodigio he sido á muchos; y tú mi refugio fuerte.

I am as a wonder to many; but you are my strong refuge.

8 Sea llena mi boca de tu alabanza, de tu gloria todo el día.

Let my mouth be filled with your praise and with your honor all the day.

9 No me deseches en el tiempo de la vejez; cuando mi fuerza se acabare, no me desampares.

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.

10 Porque mis enemigos han tratado de mí; y los que acechan mi alma, consultaron juntamente,

For my enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

11 Diciendo: Dios lo ha dejado: perseguid y tomadle, porque no hay quien le libre.

Saying, God has forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.

12 Oh Dios, no te alejes de mí: Dios mío, acude presto á mi socorro.

O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

13 Sean avergonzados, fallezcan los adversarios de mi alma; sean cubiertos de vergüenza y de confusión los que mi mal buscan.

Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.

14 Mas yo siempre esperaré, y añadiré sobre toda tu alabanza.

But I will hope continually, and will yet praise you more and more.

15 Mi boca publicará tu justicia y tu salud todo el día, aunque no sé el número [de ellas].

My mouth shall show forth your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

16 Vendré á las valentías del Señor Jehová: haré memoria de sola tu justicia.

I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of your righteousness, even of your only.

17 Oh Dios, enseñásteme desde mi mocedad; y hasta ahora he manifestado tus maravillas.

O God, you have taught me from my youth: and till now have I declared your wondrous works.

18 Y aun hasta la vejez y las canas; oh Dios, no me desampares, hasta que denuncie tu brazo á la posteridad, tus valentías á todos los que han de venir.

Now also when I am old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have showed your strength to this generation, and your power to every one that is to come.

19 Y tu justicia, oh Dios, hasta lo excelso; porque has hecho grandes cosas: oh Dios, ¿quién como tú?

Your righteousness also, O God, is very high, who have done great things: O God, who is like to you!

20 Tú, que me has hecho ver muchas angustias y males, volverás á darme vida, y de nuevo me levantarás de los abismos de la tierra.

You, which have showed me great and sore troubles, shall quicken me again, and shall bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

21 Aumentarás mi grandeza, y volverás á consolarme.

You shall increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

22 Asimismo yo te alabaré con instrumento de salterio, oh Dios mío: tu verdad cantaré yo á ti en el arpa, oh Santo de Israel.

I will also praise you with the psaltery, even your truth, O my God: to you will I sing with the harp, O you Holy One of Israel.

23 Mis labios cantarán cuando á ti salmeare, y mi alma, á la cual redimiste.

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to you; and my soul, which you have redeemed.

24 Mi lengua hablará también de tu justicia todo el día: por cuanto fueron avergonzados, porque fueron confusos los que mi mal procuraban.

My tongue also shall talk of your righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame, that seek my hurt.
