Salmos 69
1 Para el director del coro. Con la melodía de “Los lirios”. Un salmo de David ¡Dios, sálvame porque tengo el agua hasta el cuello!
O God, save me, because [I am in great danger]. [It is as though] flood water is up to my neck, [and I am about to drown] [MET].
2 Me estoy hundiendo cada vez más en el barro y no encuentro tierra firme sobre la cual ponerme en pie. Me siento como en aguas profundas, y su torrente me cubre.
I continue to sink in the deep mud, and there is no solid ground for me to stand on. I am in deep water, and flood waters are swirling around me.
3 Estoy cansado de gritar pidiendo ayuda. Mi garganta ya está reseca. Mis ojos están hinchados de tanto llorar a la espera de la ayuda de mi Dios.
I am exhausted from calling out [for help]; my throat is very dry. Because I have cried so much as I have waited for God [to help me], my eyes are swollen.
4 Los que me odian sin motivos suman más que los cabellos de mi cabeza. Muchos de mis enemigos tratan de destruirme con engaños. ¿Cómo puedo devolver lo que no he robado?
Those who hate me when there is no reason to hate me are more than the number of hairs on my head [HYP]! Those who want to get rid of me are strong, and they tell lies about me. They demand that I return to them things that I did not steal!
5 ¡Dios tu sabes cuán necio soy! Mis pecados no te son desconocidos.
O God, (you see the sins that I have committed/my sins are not hidden from you). You know that I have foolishly [disobeyed your laws].
6 No dejes que los que creen en tí Sean avergonzados por mi culpa, oh, Dios Todopoderoso. No permitas que los que te siguen sufran desgracia por mi culpa, oh, Dios de Israel.
O Yahweh God, [you who are the commander] of the armies [of heaven], do not allow the [wrong things that] I [have done] to cause those who trust in you to be disappointed/disillusioned. O God, you whom [we] Israeli people [worship], do not allow me to cause your people to be humiliated.
7 Porque por tu causa he soportado insultos y mi rostro refleja mi vergüenza.
People have insulted/ridiculed me because [I am devoted to] you. They have thoroughly humiliated [IDM] me.
8 Me he convertido en un extranjero entre mis hermanos, los Israelitas. Un forastero para mis propios hermanos.
Even my own [older] brothers act as if they do not know me; they treat me like a foreigner.
9 Mi devoción por tu casa me consume por dentro. Me tomo a pecho los insultos de quienes te maldicen.
[Some people have despised your temple]; but my zeal for [keeping] your temple [holy] is like a fire burning inside me. So [it is as though] those who are insulting you are also insulting me.
10 Lloré e hice ayuno, pero se burlaron de mi.
When I have humbled myself and (fasted/abstained from eating food) [to show my sadness about the disgraceful things that they have done to your temple], they just insult me.
11 Gemí cubierto en cilicio, pero se burlaron de mi.
When I put on [rough] sackcloth [to show that I am sad], they laugh at [IDM] me.
12 Las personas sentadas en las puertas de la cuidad inventan rumores sobre mi. Soy el objeto de burla de las canciones que cantan los borrachos.
Even the elders [of the city] say bad things about me. The drunkards of the city sing [disgusting] songs about me.
13 Pero mi oración eres tú, oh Señor, y creo que este es un buen momento para escuchar tu respuesta. Oh Dios, en tu fidelidad y amor, respóndeme con la seguridad de tu salvación.
But Yahweh, I will [continue] praying to you. At the time that you choose, answer me and rescue me because you faithfully love me.
14 Por favor, rescátame del lodo, ¡no me dejes hundir! Sálvame de los que me odian y de hundirme en las aguas profundas.
Do not allow me to sink any more in the mud. Rescue me from those who hate me! Lift me up out of these deep waters!
15 No permitas que las aguas me cubran por completo. No dejes que las aguas profundas me ahoguen. No dejes que la tumba se apodere de mi.
Do not allow flood waters to swirl around me, do not allow the deep [mud] to swallow me; keep me from sinking into the pit [of death] [MET].

[Their] insults have deeply offended me, and I (feel helpless/am in despair). I searched for [someone who would] pity [me], but there was no one. I wanted someone to encourage/comfort me, but there were none.
21 En lugar de compadecerse de mi me dieron de comer hierbas amargas y vinagre para beber.
[Instead], they gave me food [that tasted like] poison, and when I was thirsty, they gave me sour wine to drink.

I hope/desire that the feasts [MTY] [that they enjoy] will (become a snare for/bring trouble to) them, and that [those whom they invite to] the sacrificial feasts will also be trapped.
