Salmos 31
Nueva Versión Internacional
(A)Al director musical. Salmo de David.
31 En ti, Señor, busco refugio;
jamás permitas que me avergüencen.
Por tu justicia, líbrame.
2 Inclina a mí tu oído
y acude pronto a socorrerme.
Sé tú mi roca de refugio,
la fortaleza de mi salvación.
3 Guíame, pues eres mi roca y mi fortaleza,
dirígeme por amor a tu nombre.
4 Líbrame de la trampa que me han tendido,
porque tú eres mi refugio.
5 En tus manos encomiendo mi espíritu;
líbrame, Señor, Dios de la verdad.
6 Odio a los que adoran ídolos vanos;
yo, por mi parte, confío en ti, Señor.
7 Me alegro y me regocijo en tu amor,
porque tú has visto mi aflicción
y conoces las angustias de mi alma.
8 No me entregaste al enemigo,
sino que me pusiste en lugar espacioso.
9 Tenme compasión, Señor, que estoy angustiado;
el dolor debilita mis ojos,
mi alma y mi cuerpo.
10 La vida se me va en angustias
y los años en lamentos;
la aflicción está acabando con mis fuerzas
y mis huesos se van debilitando.
11 Por causa de todos mis enemigos,
soy motivo de desprecio para mis vecinos;
soy un espanto para mis amigos;
de mí huyen los que me encuentran en la calle.
12 Me han olvidado, como si hubiera muerto;
soy como una vasija hecha pedazos.
13 Son muchos a los que oigo murmurar:
«Hay terror por todas partes».
Se han confabulado contra mí
y traman quitarme la vida.
14 Pero yo, Señor, en ti confío,
y digo: «Tú eres mi Dios».
15 Mi vida entera está en tus manos;
líbrame de mis enemigos y perseguidores.
16 Haz resplandecer tu rostro sobre tu siervo;
por tu gran amor, sálvame.
17 Señor, no permitas que me avergüencen,
porque a ti he clamado.
Que sean avergonzados los malvados
y silenciados en el sepulcro.[a]
18 Que sean silenciados sus labios mentirosos,
porque hablan contra los justos
con orgullo, desdén e insolencia.
19 ¡Cuán grande es tu bondad!
La reservas para los que te temen,
y a la vista de la gente la derramas
sobre los que en ti se refugian.
20 Al amparo de tu presencia los proteges
de las intrigas humanas;
en tu morada los resguardas
de las lenguas contenciosas.
21 Bendito sea el Señor,
pues mostró su gran amor por mí
cuando me hallaba en una ciudad sitiada.
22 En mi angustia llegué a decir:
«¡He sido arrojado de tu presencia!».
Pero tú oíste mi voz suplicante
cuando te pedí que me ayudaras.
23 Amen al Señor, todos sus fieles;
él protege a los dignos de confianza,
pero a los orgullosos les da su merecido.
24 Cobren ánimo y ármense de valor,
todos los que en el Señor esperan.

A Prayer of Faith in Troubled Times
For the director of music. A song of David.
31 Lord, I trust in you.
Let me never be disgraced.
Save me because you do what is right.
2 Listen to me.
Save me quickly.
Be my rock of protection,
a strong city to save me.
3 You are my rock and my protection.
For the good of your name, lead me and guide me.
4 Set me free from the trap they set for me.
You are my protection.
5 I give you my life.
Save me, Lord, God of truth.
6 I hate those who worship false gods.
I trust only in the Lord.
7 I will be glad because of your love.
You saw my suffering.
You knew my troubles.
8 You have not let my enemies defeat me.
You have set me in a safe place.
9 Lord, have mercy. I am in misery.
My eyes are weak from so much crying.
My whole being is tired from grief.
10 My life is ending in sadness.
My years are spent in crying.
My troubles are using up my strength.
My bones are getting weaker.
11 Because of all my troubles, my enemies hate me.
Even my neighbors look down on me.
When my friends see me,
they are afraid and run.
12 I am like a piece of a broken pot.
I am forgotten as if I were dead.
13 I have heard many insults.
Terror is all around me.
They make plans against me.
They want to kill me.
14 Lord, I trust you.
I have said, “You are my God.”
15 My life is in your hands.
Save me from my enemies’ grasp.
Save me from those who are chasing me.
16 Show your kindness to me, your servant.
Save me because of your love.
17 Lord, I called to you.
So do not let me be disgraced.
Let the wicked be disgraced.
Let them lie silent in the grave.
18 With pride and hatred
they speak against the righteous.
So shut their lying lips.
19 How great is your goodness!
You have stored it up for those who fear you.
You do good things for those who trust you.
You do this for all to see.
20 You protect them by your presence
from what people plan against them.
You keep them safe in your shelter
from evil words.
21 Praise the Lord.
His love to me was wonderful
when my city was attacked.
22 In my distress, I said,
“God cannot see me!”
But you heard my prayer
when I cried out to you for help.
23 Love the Lord, all you who belong to him.
The Lord protects those who truly believe.
But he punishes the proud as much as they have sinned.
24 All you who put your hope in the Lord
be strong and brave.

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.
