Salmos 57
Palabra de Dios para Todos
Señor, busco tu protección
Al director. Al compás de «No destruyas». Poema de David, cuando escapó de Saúl y entró a la cueva.
1 Ten compasión de mí, Dios mío,
ten compasión de mí.
Sé bueno conmigo,
porque yo confío en ti.
Busco protección bajo tus alas
hasta que pase el peligro.
2 Le pido ayuda a Dios Altísimo,
el Dios que me protege.
3 Desde el cielo él me ayuda y me salva,
vence a los que me atacan. Selah
Me envía su fiel amor y lealtad.
4 Estoy rodeado de enemigos
que son como leones que devoran a la gente.
Sus dientes son lanzas y flechas,
su lengua es una espada afilada.
5 Dios mío, levántate más allá del cielo,
que tu gloria cubra toda la tierra.
6 Mis enemigos me habían puesto una trampa,
alistaron una red para atraparme,
cavaron una fosa para que yo cayera en ella,
pero ellos cayeron en su propia trampa. Selah
7 Dios mío, mi corazón está firme.
He tomado una decisión:
Te cantaré y alabaré.
8 ¡Me voy a despertar![a]
Arpa y lira, ¡despierten!
Despertaré el nuevo día.
9 Te alabaré entre las naciones, oh Señor,
te cantaré alabanzas entre los pueblos.
10 Porque tu fiel amor es tan grande que llega hasta el cielo,
y tu fidelidad llega hasta las nubes.
11 Dios mío, levántate más allá del cielo,
que tu gloria cubra toda la tierra.

Psalm 57
New International Version
Psalm 57[a](A)
For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam.[b] When he had fled from Saul into the cave.(B)
1 Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
for in you I take refuge.(C)
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings(D)
until the disaster has passed.(E)
2 I cry out to God Most High,
to God, who vindicates me.(F)
3 He sends from heaven and saves me,(G)
rebuking those who hotly pursue me—[c](H)
God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.(I)
4 I am in the midst of lions;(J)
I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords.(K)
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.(L)
6 They spread a net for my feet(M)—
I was bowed down(N) in distress.
They dug a pit(O) in my path—
but they have fallen into it themselves.(P)
7 My heart, O God, is steadfast,
my heart is steadfast;(Q)
I will sing and make music.
8 Awake, my soul!
Awake, harp and lyre!(R)
I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.
10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.(S)

Psalm 57
King James Version
57 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
3 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
