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.
Ten compasión de mí, oh ʼElohim. Ten compasión de mí. Porque mi alma confía en Ti, Y en la sombra de tus alas me amparo Hasta que pase la destrucción.
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 a ʼElohim ʼElyón, A ʼEL, Quien 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).
Él enviará desde el cielo Y me salvará de la infamia del que me oprime. (Selah) ʼElohim 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 en medio de leones. Estoy tendido entre los que respiran fuego. Hijos de hombres, sus dientes son lanzas y flechas, Y su lengua, espada aguda.
5 God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory to people all over the earth!
¡Exaltado seas sobre los cielos, oh ʼElohim! ¡Tu gloria sea sobre toda la tierra!
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!
Tendieron una red ante mis pies para doblegar mi vida. Cavaron un hoyo delante de mí Y ellos cayeron en él. (Selah)
7 God, I have complete confidence [DOU] in you. I will sing to you, and I will praise you while I sing.
Mi corazón está establecido, oh ʼElohim. Está firme mi corazón. Cantaré y entonaré 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, alma mía. Despierten, arpa y lira. Yo despertaré el alba.
9 Lord, I will thank you among [all] the people; and I will sing to praise you among [many] ethnic groups,
Te daré gracias entre los pueblos, oh ʼAdonay. Te cantaré salmos 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 tu misericordia es grande hasta los cielos, Y tu verdad, hasta las nubes.
11 God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory [to people] all over the earth!
Exaltado seas sobre los cielos, oh ʼElohim. Y tu gloria sea por encima de toda la tierra.
