Psalms 31
1 Yahweh, I have come to you to be protected; do not allow me to be [defeated, with the result that I am] disgraced. Since you always do what is fair/right, rescue me!
Al Vencedor: Salmo de David. En ti, oh SEÑOR, he esperado; no sea yo avergonzado para siempre; líbrame en tu justicia.
2 Listen to me, and save me right now! Be [like] a huge rock [under which I can hide] [MET] and [like] a strong fort in which I will be safe.
Inclina a mí tu oído, líbrame presto; seme por roca de fortaleza, por casa fuerte para salvarme.
3 Yes, you are [like] my huge rock and my fort; guide me and lead me [DOU] in order that I can honor you [MTY].
Porque tú eres mi roca y mi castillo; y por tu Nombre me guiarás, y me encaminarás.
4 You are the one who protects me, so keep me from falling into the hidden traps [that my enemies have set for me].
Me sacarás de la red que han escondido para mí; porque tú eres mi fortaleza.
5 Yahweh, you are a God who can be trusted, so I put myself into your care because you rescued me.
En tu mano encomendaré mi espíritu; tú me redimirás, oh SEÑOR, Dios de verdad.
6 Yahweh, I hate those who worship useless idols, but I trust in you.
Aborrecí a los que esperan en vanidades ilusorias; mas yo en el SEÑOR he esperado.
7 I will be very glad [DOU] because you faithfully love me. You see me when I have been afflicted, and you have known when I have had troubles.
Me gozaré y alegraré en tu misericordia; porque has visto mi aflicción; has conocido mi alma en las angustias;
8 You have not allowed my enemies to capture me; instead, you have rescued me from danger.
y no me encerraste en mano del enemigo; hiciste estar mis pies en anchura.
9 [But now], Yahweh, be kind to me [again] because I am distressed. Because I cry [so much], I cannot see well, and I am completely exhausted.
Ten misericordia de mí, oh SEÑOR, que estoy en angustia; se han carcomido de pesar mis ojos, mi alma, y mis entrañas.
10 I have become very weak because I am [so] miserable, and it is causing my life to become shorter. I have become weak because of all my troubles; even my bones are becoming weaker.
Porque se ha acabado mi vida con dolor, y mis años con suspiro; se ha enflaquecido mi fuerza a causa de mi iniquidad, y mis huesos se han consumido.
11 All of my enemies make fun of me, and [even] my neighbors despise me. [Even] my friends are afraid of me [because they think I am being punished by God], and when they see me on the streets, they run away.
De todos mis enemigos he sido oprobio, y de mis vecinos en gran manera, y horror a mis conocidos; los que me ven fuera, huyen de mí.
12 People have forgotten me like they forget people who are dead. [They think I am as useless] as a broken pot.
He sido olvidado del todo como un muerto; he venido a ser como un vaso perdido.
13 I have heard people slandering me, and they have caused me to become terrified. My enemies are making plans in order to kill me.
Porque he oído afrenta de muchos, cerrado de temores; cuando consultaban juntos contra mí, e ideaban para prenderme el alma.
14 But Yahweh, I trust in you. You are my God.
Mas yo en ti confié, oh SEÑOR; yo dije: Dios mío eres tú.
15 My whole life [MTY] is in your hands; save me from my enemies, from those who pursue me.
En tu mano están mis tiempos; líbrame de la mano de mis enemigos, y de mis perseguidores.
16 Be kind to me and rescue me because you always faithfully love me.
Haz resplandecer tu rostro sobre tu siervo; sálvame por tu misericordia.
17 Yahweh, I call out to you, so do not allow me to be disgraced. I desire that wicked people will be disgraced; I want them to [soon die and] go down to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
SEÑOR, no sea yo confundido, porque te he invocado; sean confusos los impíos, sean cortados para el infierno. (Sheol h7585)
18 I desire that you will cause people [MTY] who tell lies to be unable to speak. Do that to people who are proud and those who arrogantly accuse righteous people.
Enmudezcan los labios mentirosos, que hablan contra el justo cosas duras, con soberbia y menosprecio.
19 You have stored up many blessings for those who revere you. You do those good things for those who go to you to be protected; everyone sees you doing that.
¡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 hide people in your presence where it is safe, and protect them from people who plot [to kill them]. You hide them in safe places from their enemies [MTY] who accuse/insult them.
Los esconderás en el escondedero de tu rostro de las arrogancias del hombre; los esconderás en el tabernáculo a cubierto de contención de lenguas.
21 Praise Yahweh! When my enemies surrounded the city [in which I was living], he showed me in a wonderful way that he faithfully loves me.
Bendito el SEÑOR, porque ha hecho maravillosa su misericordia para conmigo en ciudad fuerte.
22 I was afraid, and I cried out, “I have been separated from Yahweh!” but you heard me and answered my cry for help.
Y decía yo en mi premura: cortado soy de delante de tus ojos; mas tú ciertamente oíste la voz de mis ruegos, cuando a ti clamaba.
23 You people who belong to Yahweh, love him! Those who are loyal to him, he protects, but those who are very proud, he punishes them severely like they deserve to be punished.
Amad al SEÑOR todos vosotros sus misericordiosos; a los fieles guarda el SEÑOR, y paga abundantemente al que obra con soberbia.
24 You who confidently expect Yahweh [to do great things for you], be strong, be courageous!
Esforzaos y esfuércese vuestro corazón todos los que esperáis en el SEÑOR.
