Psalms 31

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed; keep me safe in your righteousness.

En ti, Jehová, he esperado; no sea yo avergonzado para siempre: líbrame en tu justicia.

2 Let your ear be turned to me; take me quickly out of danger; be my strong Rock, my place of strength where I may be safe.

Inclina a mí tu oído, escápame presto, séme por roca de fortaleza: por casa fuerte para salvarme.

3 For you are my Rock and my strong tower; go in front of me and be my guide, because of your name.

Porque tú eres mi roca, y mi castillo: y por tu nombre me guiarás, y me encaminarás.

4 Take me out of the net which they have put ready for me secretly; for you are my strength.

Sacarme has de la red, que han escondido para mí; porque tú eres mi fortaleza.

5 Into your hands I give my spirit; you are my saviour, O Lord God for ever true.

En tu mano encomendaré mi espíritu: redimísteme o! Jehová Dios de verdad.

6 I am full of hate for those who go after false gods; but my hope is in the Lord.

Aborrecí los que esperan en las vanidades de vanidad: y yo en Jehová he esperado.

7 I will be glad and have delight in your mercy; because you have seen my trouble; you have had pity on my soul in its sorrows;

Gozarme he, y alegrarme he en tu misericordia; porque has visto mi aflicción: has conocido mi alma en las angustias.

8 And you have not given me into the hand of my hater; you have put my feet in a wide place.

Y no me encerraste en la mano del enemigo: antes hiciste estar mis pies en anchura.

9 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; my eyes are wasted with grief, I am wasted in soul and body.

Ten misericordia de mí, o! Jehová, que estoy en angustia: hánse carcomido con enojo mis ojos, mi alma, y mi vientre.

10 My life goes on in sorrow, and my years in weeping; my strength is almost gone because of my sin, and my bones are wasted away.

Porque se ha acabado con dolor mi vida, y mis años con suspiro; háse enflaquecido mi fuerza a causa de mi iniquidad; y mis huesos se han podrido.

11 Because of all those who are against me, I have become a word of shame to my neighbours; a cause of shaking the head and a fear to my friends: those who saw me in the street went in flight from me.

De todos mis enemigos he sido oprobio, y de mis vecinos en gran manera, y horror a mis conocidos: los que me veían fuera, huían de mí.

12 I have gone from men's minds and memory like a dead man; I am like a broken vessel.

He sido olvidado de corazón como muerto: he sido como un vaso perdido.

13 False statements against me have come to my ears; fear was on every side: they were talking together against me, designing to take away my life.

Porque he oído afrenta de muchos: miedo en derredor, cuando consultaban juntos contra mí, para prender mi alma pensaban.

14 But I had faith in you, O Lord; I said, You are my God.

Mas yo sobre ti confié, o! Jehová; dije: Mi Dios eres tú.

15 The chances of my life are in your hand; take me out of the hands of my haters, and of those who go after me.

En tu mano están mis tiempos: líbrame de la mano de mis enemigos, y de mis perseguidores.

16 Let your servant see the light of your face; in your mercy be my saviour.

Haz resplandecer tu rostro sobre tu siervo: sálvame por tu misericordia.

17 Let me not be shamed, O Lord, for I have made my prayer to you; let the sinners be shamed, and let their mouths be shut in the underworld. (Sheol h7585)

Jehová, no sea yo confuso, porque te he invocado: sean confusos los impíos, sean cortados para el infierno. (Sheol h7585)

18 Let the false lips be shut, which say evil against the upright, looking down on him in their pride.

Enmudezcan los labios mentirosos, que hablan contra el justo cosas duras con soberbia y menosprecio.

19 O how great is your grace, which you have put in store for your worshippers, and which you have made clear to those who had faith in you, before the sons of men!

¡Cuán grande es tu bien, que has guardado para los que te temen: que has obrado, para los que esperan en ti delante de los hijos de los hombres!

20 You will keep them safe in your house from the designs of man; in the secret of your tent will you keep them from angry tongues.

Esconderlos has en el escondedero de tu rostro de las arrogancias de cada cual: esconderlos has en el tabernáculo de cuestión de lenguas.

21 May the Lord be praised, because he has made clear to me the wonder of his grace in a strong town.

Bendito Jehová; porque ha hecho maravillosa su misericordia para conmigo en ciudad fuerte.

22 And as for me, I said in my fear, I am cut off from before your eyes; but you gave ear to the voice of my prayer, when my cry went up to you.

Y yo decía en mi priesa: Cortado soy de delante de tus ojos: mas ciertamente tú oías la voz de mis ruegos, cuando clamaba a ti.

23 O have love for the Lord, all you his saints; for the Lord keeps safe from danger all those who are true to him, and gives the workers of pride their right reward.

Amád a Jehová todos sus misericordiosos: a los fieles guarda Jehová, y paga abundantemente al que hace con soberbia.

24 Put away fear and let your heart be strong, all you whose hope is in the Lord.

Esforzáos, y esfuércese vuestro corazón, todos los que esperáis en Jehová.
