Salmos 56

1 Ten misericordia de mí, o! Dios; porque me traga el hombre; cada día batallándome aprieta.

“For the leader of the music. To be sung to the tune of “The dumb dove among strangers.” A psalm of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.” Have pity upon me, O God! for man panteth for my life; My adversary daily oppresseth me!

2 Tráganme mis enemigos cada día: porque muchos son los que pelean contra mí, o! Altísimo.

Mine enemies daily pant for my life, And many are they who war proudly against me.

3 De día temo: mas yo en ti confío.

When I am in fear, I will put my trust in thee!

4 En Dios alabaré su palabra: en Dios he confiado, no temeré lo que la carne me hará.

Through God shall I praise his word; In God do I put my trust; I will not fear; What can flesh do to me?

5 Todos los días me contristan mis negocios: contra mí son todos sus pensamientos para mal.

Every day they wrest my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 Congréganse, escóndense, ellos miran atentamente mis pisadas esperando mi alma.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they watch my steps, Lying in wait for my life.

7 ¿Por la iniquidad escaparán ellos? o! Dios, derriba los pueblos con furor.

Shall they escape by their iniquity? In thine anger cast down the people, O God!

8 Mis huidas has contado tú; pon mis lágrimas en tu odre, ciertamente en tu libro.

Count thou my wanderings; Put my tears into thy bottle! Are they not recorded in thy book?

9 Entonces serán vueltos atrás mis enemigos el día que yo clamare: en esto conozco que Dios es por mí.

When I cry to thee, my enemies shall turn back; This I know, that God is for me.

10 En Dios alabaré su palabra; en Jehová alabaré su palabra.

Through God shall I praise his word; I shall glory in the promise of Jehovah.

11 En Dios he confiado, no temeré lo que el hombre me hará.

In God do I put my trust; I will not fear: What can man do to me?

12 Sobre mí, o! Dios, están tus votos: alabanzas te pagaré.

Thy vows are upon me, O God! I will render praises to thee!

13 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.

For thou hast delivered me from death, Yea, my feet from falling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living.
