Salmos 31

1 En ti, oh Señor, he puesto mi esperanza; nunca permitas que sea avergonzado; mantenme a salvo en tu justicia.

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 Deje que tu oído se vuelva hacia mí; llévame rápidamente fuera del peligro; sé mi Roca fuerte, mi lugar de fortaleza donde pueda estar a salvo.

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 Porque tú eres mi Roca y mi torre fuerte; ve delante de mí y sé mi guía, por tu nombre.

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 Sácame de la red que me han preparado en secreto; porque tú eres mi fortaleza.

You are the one who protects me, so keep me from falling into the hidden traps [that my enemies have set for me].

5 En tus manos doy mi espíritu; eres mi salvador, oh Señor Dios de la verdad.

Yahweh, you are a God who can be trusted, so I put myself into your care because you rescued me.

6 Estoy lleno de odio por aquellos que persiguen a dioses falsos; pero mi esperanza está en el Señor.

Yahweh, I hate those who worship useless idols, but I trust in you.

7 Me complaceré y me deleitaré en tu amor; porque has visto mi problema; has tenido compasión de mi alma en su aflicción;

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 Y no me has entregado en mano de mi enemigo; has puesto mis pies en un lugar seguro.

You have not allowed my enemies to capture me; instead, you have rescued me from danger.

9 Ten misericordia de mí, oh Señor, porque estoy en problemas; mis ojos se pierden de pena, estoy perdido en alma y cuerpo.

[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 Mi vida continúa con tristeza y mis años de llanto; mi fuerza casi ha desaparecido a causa de mi pecado, y mis huesos se han consumido.

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 A causa de todos los que están en mi contra, me he convertido en una palabra de vergüenza para mis vecinos; una causa de sacudir la cabeza y miedo a mis amigos: los que me vieron en la calle huyeron 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 Me han olvidado por completo, como si ya estuviera muerto; Soy como un recipiente roto.

People have forgotten me like they forget people who are dead. [They think I am as useless] as a broken pot.

13 Declaraciones falsas contra mí han llegado a mis oídos; el miedo estaba en todos lados: estaban hablando en mi contra, diseñando para quitarme la vida.

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 tuve fe en ti, oh Señor; Yo dije: Tú eres mi Dios.

But Yahweh, I trust in you. You are my God.

15 Las posibilidades de mi vida están en tu mano; sácame de las manos de mis enemigos y de los que me persiguen.

My whole life [MTY] is in your hands; save me from my enemies, from those who pursue me.

16 Deja que tu siervo vea la luz de tu rostro; en tu misericordia sé mi salvador.

Be kind to me and rescue me because you always faithfully love me.

17 No me avergüence, oh SEÑOR, porque a ti clamo; deja que los pecadores se avergüencen, húndelos en el silencio del sepulcro. (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 Cierren los labios falsos, que dicen mal contra los rectos, con soberbia y menosprecio.

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 grande es tu gracia, que has guardado para los que te temen. y que has mostrado a los que tuvieron fe en ti, delante de los hijos de los hombres!

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 guardarás seguros en tu casa de la conspiración del hombre; en el secreto de tu tabernáculo los mantendrás alejados de las lenguas enojadas.

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 Que el Señor sea alabado, porque me ha mostrado la maravilla de su gracia en una ciudad fortificada.

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 Y en cuanto a mí, dije en mi temor, soy cortado de delante de tus ojos; pero tú oíste la voz de mi oración cuando mi clamor fue hacia ti.

I was afraid, and I cried out, “I have been separated from Yahweh!” but you heard me and answered my cry for help.

23 Oh amén a Jehová, todos tus santos; porque el Señor mantiene a salvo del peligro de todos aquellos que son fieles a él, y paga en abundancia a los orgullosos.

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 Esfuércense todos ustedes, y den ánimo a sus corazónes, todos ustedes cuya esperanza está en el Señor.

You who confidently expect Yahweh [to do great things for you], be strong, be courageous!
