Psalms 57
1 God, be merciful to me! Act mercifully toward me because I come to you to protect me. I ask you to protect me [like little birds are protected under their mother’s] wings [MET] until the storm/danger is ended.
Al Músico principal: sobre No destruyas: Michtam de David, cuando huyó de delante de Saúl á la cueva. TEN 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.
2 God, you who are greater than all other gods, I cry out to you, the one who enables me to do all that you desire.
Clamaré al Dios Altísimo, al Dios que me favorece.
3 You will answer me from heaven and rescue me, but you will cause those who oppress me to be [defeated and] disgraced! (Think about that!) God will [always] faithfully love me and (will be faithful/will do what he promises).
El enviará desde los cielos, y me salvará de la infamia del que me apura (Selah) Dios enviará su misericordia y su verdad.
4 [Sometimes] I am surrounded by [my enemies who are like] lions that [kill] humans; [they are like] lions that chew with their teeth [animals that they kill]; but my enemies have spears and arrows, not teeth; and [the false things that] they say [MTY] [hurt people as much as] sharp swords [hurt people] [MET].
Mi vida está entre leones; estoy echado entre hijos de hombres encendidos: sus dientes son lanzas y saetas, y su lengua cuchillo agudo.
5 God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory to people all over the earth!
Ensálzate sobre los cielos, oh Dios; sobre toda la tierra tu gloria.
6 [It is as if] [MET, HYP] my enemies spread a net to seize me, and I became very distressed [IDM]. [It is as if] [MET, HYP] they dug a deep pit along the path where I walk, but they themselves fell into it!
Red han armado á mis pasos; hase abatido mi alma: hoyo han cavado delante de mí; en medio de él han caído. (Selah)
7 God, I have complete confidence [DOU] in you. I will sing to you, and I will praise you while I sing.
Pronto está mi corazón, oh Dios, mi corazón está dispuesto: cantaré, y trovaré salmos.
8 I will awaken myself; I will arise before the sun rises and [praise you while I play] my harp or my (lyre/small harp).
Despierta, oh gloria mía; despierta, salterio y arpa: levantaréme de mañana.
9 Lord, I will thank you among [all] the people; and I will sing to praise you among [many] ethnic groups,
Alabarte he en los pueblos, oh Señor; cantaré de ti en las naciones.
10 because your faithful love for us is [as great as the distance from the earth] to the sky, and because your (faithfulness/faithfully doing what you promise) is [as great as the distance] up to the clouds [MET].
Porque grande es hasta los cielos tu misericordia, y hasta las nubes tu verdad.
11 God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory [to people] all over the earth!
Ensálzate sobre los cielos, oh Dios; sobre toda la tierra tu gloria.
