Psalm 31
English Standard Version
Into Your Hand I Commit My Spirit
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
31 (A)In you, O Lord, do I (B)take refuge;
(C)let me never be put to shame;
in your (D)righteousness deliver me!
2 Incline your ear to me;
rescue me speedily!
Be (E)a rock of (F)refuge for me,
a strong fortress to save me!
3 For you are my rock and my fortress;
and for your (G)name's sake you lead me and guide me;
4 you (H)take me out of (I)the net they have hidden for me,
for you are my (J)refuge.
5 (K)Into your hand I commit my spirit;
you have redeemed me, O Lord, (L)faithful God.
6 I (M)hate[a] those who pay (N)regard to worthless (O)idols,
but I trust in the Lord.
7 I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love,
because you have seen my affliction;
you have (P)known the distress of my soul,
8 and you have not (Q)delivered me into the hand of the enemy;
you have set my feet in (R)a broad place.
9 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am (S)in distress;
(T)my eye is wasted from grief;
my soul and my body also.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow,
and my years with sighing;
my strength fails because of my iniquity,
and (U)my bones waste away.
11 Because of all my adversaries I have become (V)a reproach,
especially to my (W)neighbors,
and an object of dread to my acquaintances;
those who see me in the street (X)flee from me.
12 I have been (Y)forgotten like one who is dead;
I have become like (Z)a broken vessel.
13 For I (AA)hear the whispering of many—
terror on every side!—
(AB)as they scheme together against me,
as they plot to take my life.
14 But I (AC)trust in you, O Lord;
I say, “You are my God.”
15 My (AD)times are in your hand;
(AE)rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!
16 (AF)Make your face shine on your servant;
save me in your steadfast love!
17 O Lord, (AG)let me not be put to shame,
for I call upon you;
let the wicked be put to shame;
let them go (AH)silently to Sheol.
18 Let the lying lips be mute,
which (AI)speak (AJ)insolently against the righteous
in pride and contempt.
19 Oh, how abundant is your goodness,
which you have stored up for those who fear you
and worked for those who take refuge in you,
(AK)in the sight of the children of mankind!
20 In (AL)the cover of your presence you hide them
from the plots of men;
you (AM)store them in your shelter
from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the Lord,
for he has wondrously (AN)shown his steadfast love to me
when I was in (AO)a besieged city.
22 I had said in my (AP)alarm,[b]
“I am (AQ)cut off from (AR)your sight.”
But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy
when I cried to you for help.
23 Love the Lord, all you his (AS)saints!
The Lord preserves the faithful
but abundantly (AT)repays the one who acts in pride.
24 (AU)Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
all you who wait for the Lord!

Al Músico principal: Salmo de David.
31 EN ti, oh Jehová, he esperado; no sea yo confundido para siempre:
Líbrame en tu justicia.
2 Inclina á mí tu oído, líbrame presto;
Séme por roca de fortaleza, por casa fuerte para salvarme.
3 Porque tú eres mi roca y mi castillo;
Y por tu nombre me guiarás, y me encaminarás.
4 Me sacarás de la red que han escondido para mí;
Porque tú eres mi fortaleza.
5 En tu mano encomiendo mi espíritu:
Tú me has redimido, oh Jehová, Dios de verdad.
6 Aborrecí á los que esperan en vanidades ilusorias;
Mas yo en Jehová he esperado.
7 Me gozaré y alegraré en tu misericordia;
Porque has visto mi aflicción;
Has conocido mi alma en las angustias:
8 Y no me encerraste en mano del enemigo;
Hiciste estar mis pies en anchura.
9 Ten misericordia de mí, oh Jehová, que estoy en angustia:
Hanse consumido de pesar mis ojos, mi alma, y mis entrañas.
10 Porque mi vida se va gastando de dolor, y mis años de suspirar:
Hase enflaquecido mi fuerza á causa de mi iniquidad, y mis huesos se han consumido.
11 De todos mis enemigos he sido oprobio,
Y de mis vecinos en gran manera, y horror á mis conocidos:
Los que me veían fuera, huían de mí.
12 He sido olvidado de su corazón como un muerto:
He venido á ser como un vaso perdido.
13 Porque he oído afrenta de muchos;
Miedo por todas partes,
Cuando consultaban juntos contra mí,
E ideaban quitarme la vida.
14 Mas yo en ti confié, oh Jehová:
Yo dije: Dios mío eres tú.
15 En tu mano están mis tiempos:
Líbrame de la mano de mis enemigos, y de mis perseguidores.
16 Haz resplandecer tu rostro sobre tu siervo:
Sálvame por tu misericordia.
17 No sea yo confundido, oh Jehová, ya que te he invocado;
Sean corridos los impíos, estén mudos en el profundo.
18 Enmudezcan los labios mentirosos,
Que hablan contra el justo cosas duras,
Con soberbia y menosprecio.
19 ¡Cuán grande es tu bien, que has guardado para los que te temen,
Que has obrado para los que esperan en ti, delante de los hijos de los hombres!
20 Los esconderás en el secreto de tu rostro de las arrogancias del hombre:
Los pondrás en un tabernáculo á cubierto de contención de lenguas.
21 Bendito Jehová,
Porque ha hecho maravillosa su misericordia para conmigo en ciudad fuerte.
22 Y decía yo en mi premura:
Cortado soy de delante de tus ojos:
Tú empero oíste la voz de mis ruegos, cuando á ti clamaba.
23 Amad á Jehová todos vosotros sus santos:
A los fieles guarda Jehová,
Y paga abundantemente al que obra con soberbia.
24 Esforzaos todos vosotros los que esperáis en Jehová,
Y tome vuestro corazón aliento.
