< Salmos 31 >

1 Un Salmo de David. Para el director del coro. Señor, tú eres el único que me mantiene a salvo; por favor, no dejes que sea humillado. Sálvame, porque siempre haces lo correcto.
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!
2 Por favor escúchame, y sé pronto en responder. Sé mi roca de protección, mi fuerza y fortaleza.
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.
3 Eres mi roca y mi escudo. En nombre de tu reputación, por favor condúceme y guíame.
Yes, you are [like] my huge rock and my fort; guide me and lead me [DOU] in order that I can honor you [MTY].
4 Ayúdame a escapar de las redes escondidas que pusieron para atraparme, porque eres el único que me protege.
You are the one who protects me, so keep me from falling into the hidden traps [that my enemies have set for me].
5 Me pongo en tus manos. Sálvame, Señor, porque eres un Dios fiel.
Yahweh, you are a God who can be trusted, so I put myself into your care because you rescued me.

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.
8 No me has entregado a mis enemigos, y me has liberado.
You have not allowed my enemies to capture me; instead, you have rescued me from danger.
9 Sé bondadoso conmigo Señor, porque estoy angustiado. Difícilmente puedo ver de tanto llorar. Me estoy consumiendo.
[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.
10 El dolor me está matando; mi vida es acortada por la tristeza; me desmayo a causa de mis problemas; estoy desgastado hasta los huesos.
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.
11 Soy ridiculizado por mis enemigos, especialmente por mis vecinos. Mis amigos temen verme; la gente que me ve en las calles corre y huye lejos de mí.
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.
12 He sido olvidado como si estuviera muerto, ignorado como una vasija rota.
People have forgotten me like they forget people who are dead. [They think I am as useless] as a broken pot.
13 Escucho a mucha gente susurrando cosas sobre mí. El terror me rodea. Ellos conspiran juntos contra mí, planeando matarme.
I have heard people slandering me, and they have caused me to become terrified. My enemies are making plans in order to kill me.
14 Pero pongo mi confianza en ti, Señor, diciendo, “¡Tú eres mi Dios!”
But Yahweh, I trust in you. You are my God.
15 ¡Mi vida entera está en tus manos! ¡Sálvame de aquellos que me odian y me persiguen!
My whole life [MTY] is in your hands; save me from my enemies, from those who pursue me.

Be kind to me and rescue me because you always faithfully love me.
17 Señor, no dejes que sea deshonrado, porque estoy clamando a ti. En vez de eso, permite que los malvados sean deshonrados, deja que sean silenciados en la tumba. (Sheol h7585)
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)
18 Calla las bocas de aquellos que mienten contra la gente buena, ¡Aquellos que hablan despectivamente en su orgullo y arrogancia!
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.
19 ¡Cuán maravillosa es la bondad que has reservado para los que te honran! En frente de todos le diste esta bondad a aquellos que vinieron a ti por ayuda.
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.
20 Los albergaste y los protegiste con tu presencia, manteniéndolos bien lejos de sus enemigos que planeaban contra ellos. Los mantuviste a salvo de ataques y acusaciones.
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.
21 Bendice al Señor, porque él me ha mostrado su maravilloso e inagotable amor mientras mi ciudad estaba siendo atacada.
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.
22 Aterrorizado grité, “¡Estoy siendo destruido justo frente a ti!” Y tú escuchaste mi llanto cuando llamé a ti pidiendo ayuda.
I was afraid, and I cried out, “I have been separated from Yahweh!” but you heard me and answered my cry for help.
23 ¡Amen al Señor, todos ustedes que confían en Él! Porque el Señor cuida de los que confían en él, pero también devuelve el mal a los que son arrogantes.
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.
24 Sean fuertes y confíen, ustedes que han puesto su confianza en el Señor.
You who confidently expect Yahweh [to do great things for you], be strong, be courageous!
