Psalm 31
New International Version
Psalm 31[a](A)
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;(B)
let me never be put to shame;
deliver me in your righteousness.(C)
2 Turn your ear to me,(D)
come quickly to my rescue;(E)
be my rock of refuge,(F)
a strong fortress to save me.
3 Since you are my rock and my fortress,(G)
for the sake of your name(H) lead and guide me.
4 Keep me free from the trap(I) that is set for me,
for you are my refuge.(J)
5 Into your hands I commit my spirit;(K)
deliver me, Lord, my faithful God.(L)
6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols;(M)
as for me, I trust in the Lord.(N)
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your love,
for you saw my affliction(O)
and knew the anguish(P) of my soul.
8 You have not given me into the hands(Q) of the enemy
but have set my feet in a spacious place.(R)
9 Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress;(S)
my eyes grow weak with sorrow,(T)
my soul and body(U) with grief.
10 My life is consumed by anguish(V)
and my years by groaning;(W)
my strength fails(X) because of my affliction,[b](Y)
and my bones grow weak.(Z)
11 Because of all my enemies,(AA)
I am the utter contempt(AB) of my neighbors(AC)
and an object of dread to my closest friends—
those who see me on the street flee from me.
12 I am forgotten as though I were dead;(AD)
I have become like broken pottery.
13 For I hear many whispering,(AE)
“Terror on every side!”(AF)
They conspire against me(AG)
and plot to take my life.(AH)
14 But I trust(AI) in you, Lord;
I say, “You are my God.”
15 My times(AJ) are in your hands;
deliver me from the hands of my enemies,
from those who pursue me.
16 Let your face shine(AK) on your servant;
save me in your unfailing love.(AL)
17 Let me not be put to shame,(AM) Lord,
for I have cried out to you;
but let the wicked be put to shame
and be silent(AN) in the realm of the dead.
18 Let their lying lips(AO) be silenced,
for with pride and contempt
they speak arrogantly(AP) against the righteous.
19 How abundant are the good things(AQ)
that you have stored up for those who fear you,
that you bestow in the sight of all,(AR)
on those who take refuge(AS) in you.
20 In the shelter(AT) of your presence you hide(AU) them
from all human intrigues;(AV)
you keep them safe in your dwelling
from accusing tongues.

Psalm 31
King James Version
31 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.
5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.
9 Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
14 But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.
17 Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
23 O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.

Plena confianza en el Señor
(1) Del maestro de coro. Salmo de David.
31 (2) Señor, en ti busco protección;
¡no me defraudes jamás!
¡Ponme a salvo, pues tú eres justo!
2 (3) Dígnate escucharme;
¡date prisa, líbrame ya!
Sé tú mi roca protectora,
¡sé tú mi castillo de refugio y salvación!
3 (4) ¡Tú eres mi roca y mi castillo!
¡Guíame y protégeme; haz honor a tu nombre!
4 (5) ¡Sácame de la trampa que me han tendido,
pues tú eres mi protector!
5 (6) En tus manos encomiendo mi espíritu;
¡rescátame, Señor, Dios de la verdad!
6 (7) Odio a los que adoran ídolos inútiles.
He puesto mi confianza en el Señor.
7 (8) Tu amor me trae gozo y alegría.
Tú has visto mis tristezas,
conoces mis aflicciones;
8 (9) no me entregaste en manos del enemigo;
¡me hiciste poner pie en lugar seguro!
9 (10) Señor, ten compasión de mí,
pues estoy en peligro.
El dolor debilita mis ojos,
mi cuerpo, ¡todo mi ser!
10 (11) ¡El dolor y los lamentos
acaban con los años de mi vida!
La tristeza acaba con mis fuerzas;
¡mi cuerpo se está debilitando!
11 (12) Soy el hazmerreír de mis enemigos,
objeto de burla de mis vecinos,
horror de quienes me conocen.
¡Huyen de mí cuantos me ven en la calle!
12 (13) Me han olvidado por completo,
como si ya estuviera muerto.
Soy como un jarro hecho pedazos.
13 (14) Puedo oír que la gente cuchichea:
«Hay terror por todas partes.»
Como un solo hombre, hacen planes contra mí;
¡hacen planes para quitarme la vida!
14 (15) Pero yo, Señor, confío en ti;
yo he dicho: «¡Tú eres mi Dios!»
15 (16) Mi vida está en tus manos;
¡líbrame de mis enemigos, que me persiguen!
16 (17) Mira con bondad a este siervo tuyo,
y sálvame, por tu amor.
17 (18) A ti clamo, Señor;
¡no me hundas en la vergüenza!
¡Hunde en la vergüenza a los malvados;
húndelos en el silencio del sepulcro!
18 (19) Queden en silencio los labios mentirosos,
que hablan con burla y desprecio,
y ofenden al hombre honrado.
19 (20) ¡Qué grande es tu bondad para aquellos que te honran!
La guardas como un tesoro
y, a la vista de los hombres,
la repartes a quienes confían en ti.
20 (21) Con la protección de tu presencia
los libras de los planes malvados del hombre;
bajo tu techo los proteges
de los insultos de sus enemigos.
21 (22) Bendito sea el Señor, que con su amor
hizo grandes cosas por mí
en momentos de angustia.
22 (23) En mi inquietud llegué a pensar
que me habías echado de tu presencia;
pero cuando te pedí ayuda,
tú escuchaste mis gritos.
23 (24) Amen al Señor, todos sus fieles.
El Señor cuida de los sinceros,
pero a los altaneros
les da con creces su merecido.
24 (25) Den ánimo y valor a sus corazones
todos los que confían en el Señor.
Psalm 31
American Standard Version
Psalm 31
American Standard Version
A psalm of complaint and of praise.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
31 In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge;
Let me never be put to shame:
Deliver me in thy righteousness.
2 Bow down thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily:
Be thou to me a strong rock,
A house of [a]defence to save me.
3 For thou art my rock and my fortress;
Therefore for thy name’s sake lead me and guide me.
4 Pluck me out of the net that they have laid privily for me;
For thou art my stronghold.
5 Into thy hand I commend my spirit:
Thou hast redeemed me, O Jehovah, thou God of truth.
6 I hate them that regard lying vanities;
But I trust in Jehovah.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy lovingkindness;
For thou hast seen my affliction:
Thou hast known [b]my soul in adversities;
8 And thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy;
Thou hast set my feet in a large place.
9 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in distress:
Mine eye wasteth away with grief, yea, my soul and my body.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow,
And my years with sighing:
My strength faileth because of mine iniquity,
And my bones are wasted away.
11 Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach,
Yea, unto my neighbors exceedingly,
And a fear to mine acquaintance:
They that did see me without fled from me.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind:
I am like a broken vessel.
13 For I have heard the defaming of many,
Terror on every side:
While they took counsel together against me,
They devised to take away my life.
14 But I trusted in thee, O Jehovah:
I said, Thou art my God.
15 My times are in thy hand:
Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant:
Save me in thy lovingkindness.
17 Let me not be put to shame, O Jehovah; for I have called upon thee:
Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.
18 Let the lying lips be dumb,
Which speak against the righteous insolently,
With pride and contempt.
19 Oh how great is thy goodness,
Which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee,
Which thou hast wrought for them that take refuge in thee,
Before the sons of men!
20 In the covert of thy presence wilt thou hide them from the plottings of man:
Thou wilt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be Jehovah;
For he hath showed me his marvellous lovingkindness in a strong city.
22 As for me, I said in my [c]haste,
I am cut off from before thine eyes:
Nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications,
When I cried unto thee.
23 Oh love Jehovah, all ye his saints:
Jehovah preserveth [d]the faithful,
And plentifully rewardeth him that dealeth proudly.
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
All ye that [e]hope in Jehovah.

J’ai mis ma confiance en l’Eternel
31 Au chef de chœur. Psaume de David.
2 C’est en toi, Eternel, ╵que je cherche un refuge.
Que jamais cela ne tourne à ma confusion !
Toi qui es juste, ╵délivre-moi[a],
3 tends l’oreille vers moi !
Viens vite ! Viens me délivrer !
Sois pour moi un rocher ╵entouré de murailles, ╵une solide forteresse
où je trouverai le salut !
4 Oui, tu es pour moi un rocher, ╵et une forteresse :
à cause de ce que tu es, ╵toi, tu me guideras ╵et tu me conduiras.
5 Du piège que l’on m’a tendu ╵tu me feras sortir,
puisque tu es ma forteresse.
6 Je remets mon esprit ╵entre tes mains[b],
tu m’as libéré, Eternel, ╵toi, le Dieu véritable.
7 Je les hais, tous ceux qui s’attachent ╵à des idoles de néant ;
je me confie en l’Eternel.
8 Ton amour me fait jubiler, ╵il me remplit de joie
puisque tu as vu ma misère,
que tu as porté attention ╵à ma grande détresse.
9 Tu ne m’as pas abandonné ╵au pouvoir de mes ennemis,
et tu m’as mis au large.
10 Aie pitié de moi, Eternel, ╵je suis dans la détresse,
le chagrin me ronge les yeux, ╵l’âme et le corps entier.
11 Ma vie se consume en tourments,
mes années en gémissements.
Les forces m’abandonnent ╵à cause de ma faute[c]
et mon corps dépérit.
12 A cause de mes ennemis, ╵je dois porter l’opprobre,
de mes voisins, je suis la honte
et je fais peur ╵à ceux qui me connaissent.
Ceux qui me croisent en chemin ╵s’écartent loin de moi[d].
13 Ils m’ont rayé de leur mémoire : ╵me voilà comme un mort,
je suis comme un objet perdu.
14 J’entends toutes les médisances ╵que l’on répand à mon sujet.
Autour de moi, c’est la terreur :
ils se concertent contre moi,
ils forment des complots ╵pour m’enlever la vie[e].
15 Mais moi, ô Eternel, ╵je me confie en toi.
Je dis : « Tu es mon Dieu ! »
16 Mes destinées sont dans ta main.
Délivre-moi ╵de la main de mes ennemis, ╵car ils s’acharnent contre moi.
17 Regarde-moi avec bonté : ╵je suis ton serviteur !
Viens me sauver dans ton amour !
18 Que je ne sois pas dans la honte, ╵ô Eternel, quand je t’invoque,
mais que les méchants soient honteux
et réduits au silence ╵dans le séjour des morts !
19 Qu’ils soient rendus muets ╵tous ces menteurs aux lèvres fausses
qui parlent avec arrogance ╵contre le juste,
avec orgueil, avec mépris.
20 Combien est grande la bonté
que tu tiens en réserve ╵en faveur de ceux qui te craignent,
et que tu viens répandre, ╵sur ceux qui s’abritent en toi,
au vu de tous les hommes.
21 Auprès de toi, ╵tu leur donnes un refuge ╵loin des machinations des hommes.
Tu les préserves dans ta tente ╵des langues médisantes.
22 Béni soit l’Eternel,
car il m’a témoigné ╵son merveilleux amour
lorsque je me trouvais ╵dans une cité assiégée.
23 Désemparé, je me disais :
« Il ne se soucie plus de moi. »
Mais tu m’as entendu ╵quand je te suppliais,
quand je t’appelais à mon aide.
24 Soyez remplis d’amour ╵pour l’Eternel, ╵vous qui lui êtes attachés !
L’Eternel garde ╵ceux qui lui sont fidèles,
mais il punit sévèrement ╵les arrogants.
25 Soyez forts et prenez courage,
vous qui vous attendez ╵à l’Eternel.
