Psalms 71

1 Yahweh, I have come to you to (get refuge/be protected); never allow me to become ashamed [because of being defeated].

Oh Yavé, en Ti me refugié. No sea yo avergonzado jamás.

2 Because you always do what is right, help me and rescue me; listen to me, and save me!

¡Líbrame en tu justicia y rescátame! ¡Inclina a mí tu oído y sálvame!

3 Be [like an overhanging] rock [MET] under which I [can be] safe/protected; [be like] a strong fortress in which I am safe [DOU]. You [continually] command (OR, [Continually] command) [your angels] to rescue me.

Sé Roca de habitación para mí A la cual yo acuda continuamente. Tú diste mandamiento para salvarme, Porque Tú eres mi Roca y mi Fortaleza.

4 God, rescue me from wicked [people], from the power of unjust and evil men.

Oh mi ʼElohim, rescátame de la mano del perverso, De la mano del hombre malhechor y violento.

5 Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one whom I confidently expect [to help me]; I have trusted in you since I was young.

Porque Tú, oh ʼAdonay Yavé, eres mi Esperanza, Mi Confianza desde mi juventud.

6 I have depended on you all my life; you have taken care of me [IDM] since the day that I was born, [so] I will always praise you.

Por Ti fui sustentado desde mi nacimiento. Tú eres Quien me sacó del vientre de mi madre. Mi alabanza es para Ti continuamente.

7 The manner in which I have conducted my life has been an example to many [people], because [they realize that] you have been my strong defender.

Fui asombro para muchos, Porque Tú eres mi fuerte Refugio.

8 I praise you all day long, and I proclaim that you are glorious/wonderful.

Llena está mi boca de tu alabanza, Y de tu gloria todo el día.

9 Now, when I have become an old man, do not reject/abandon me; do not abandon me now, when I am not strong any more.

No me deseches en el tiempo de la vejez, Ni me desampares cuando se agote mi fuerza.

10 My enemies say [that they want to kill] me; they plan together [how they can do that].

Porque mis enemigos hablaron contra mí, Y los que acechan mi vida consultaron

11 They say [about me], “God has abandoned him; so now we can pursue him and seize him, because there is no one who will rescue him.”

Y dijeron: ʼElohim lo desamparó. ¡Persíganlo y agárrenlo, pues no hay quien lo libre!

12 God, do not stay far away from me; hurry to help me!

¡Oh ʼElohim, no te alejes de mí! ¡Oh mi ʼElohim, apresúrate a socorrerme!

13 Cause those who (accuse me/say that I have done things that are wrong) to be defeated and destroyed; cause those who want to harm me to be shamed and disgraced.

Sean avergonzados y consumidos los adversarios de mi vida. Sean cubiertos de vergüenza y confusión los que procuran hacerme daño.

14 But [as for me], I will continually and confidently expect [you to do great things for me], and I will praise you more and more.

En cuanto a mí, esperaré continuamente, Y te alabaré aun más y más.

15 I will tell people that you do what is right; all day long I will tell people how you have saved me, although what you have done is more than I can fully understand.

Mi boca proclamará tu justicia y tu salvación todo el día, Aunque no sepa sus límites.

16 Yahweh, my Lord, I will praise you for your mighty deeds; I will proclaim that only you always act justly.

Iré a los poderosos hechos de ʼAdonay Yavé. Mencionaré tu justicia, la tuya sola.

17 God, you have taught me [many/those things] ever since I was young, and I still tell people about your wonderful deeds.

Tú, ʼElohim, me enseñaste desde mi juventud, Y aún declaro tus maravillosos hechos.

18 And now, God, when I am old and my hair is gray, do not abandon me. [Stay with me] while I continue to proclaim to my children and grandchildren [HYP] that you are [very] powerful!

Y aun en la vejez y las canas no me desampares, oh ʼElohim, Hasta que proclame tu fuerza a esta generación, Tu poder a todos los que vienen.

19 God, you do many righteous deeds; [it is as though] they extend up to the sky. You have done great things; there is no one like you [RHQ].

Porque tu justicia, oh ʼElohim, llega hasta los cielos. Tú has hecho grandes cosas. ¿Quién como Tú, oh ʼElohim?

20 You have caused me to have many troubles and to suffer much, [but] you will cause me to become strong again; when I am almost dead [HYP], you will keep me alive.

Tú Quien me mostraste muchas angustias y calamidades, Volverás a darme vida, Y volverás a levantarme de las profundidades de la tierra.

21 You will cause me to be greatly honored and you will encourage/comfort me again.

Que Tú aumentes mi grandeza Y vuelvas a consolarme.

22 I will also praise you [while I play] my harp; I will praise you, my God, for faithfully [doing what you have promised to do]. I will play hymns to praise you, the holy God whom [we] Israelis [worship].

También te alabaré con el salterio, A causa de tu verdad, oh ʼElohim mío, Te cantaré salmos con el arpa, ¡oh Santo de Israel!

23 I [SYN] will shout joyfully while I play [the harp] for you; with my entire inner being I will sing because you have rescued me.

Mis labios se alegrarán de gozo cuando te cante salmos, Y mi alma, que Tú redimiste.

24 All day long I will tell people that you act righteously, because those who wanted to harm me will have been defeated and disgraced.

Mi boca también susurrará todo el día tu justicia, Porque fueron avergonzados y humillados Los que buscan mi calamidad.
