Salmos 31
Reina Valera Contemporánea
Declaración de confianza
Al músico principal. Salmo de David.
31 Señor, yo confío en ti;
no permitas nunca que sea yo avergonzado.
¡Ponme a salvo, pues tú eres justo!
2 ¡Inclínate a escucharme!
¡Ven pronto en mi ayuda!
¡Sé tú mi roca fuerte, la fortaleza que me salve!
3 Ciertamente, tú eres mi roca y mi castillo;
guíame; encamíname por causa de tu nombre.
4 Sácame de la red que me han tendido,
pues tú eres mi refugio.
5 En tus manos encomiendo mi espíritu;(A)
¡ponme a salvo, Señor, Dios de la verdad!
6 Señor, yo confío en ti,
pero odio a los que adoran ídolos huecos.
7 Yo me lleno de alegría por tu misericordia,
pues tú has tomado en cuenta mi aflicción
y conoces las angustias de mi alma.
8 No me has puesto en manos de mi adversario;
más bien, me has plantado en lugares amplios.
9 Ten misericordia de mí, Señor,
porque estoy muy angustiado.
Mis ojos se consumen de tristeza,
lo mismo que mi alma y todo mi ser.
10 Mi vida se va consumiendo de dolor;
mis años transcurren en medio de suspiros.
La maldad acaba con mis fuerzas,
y hasta mis huesos se van debilitando.
11 Todos mis enemigos se burlan de mí,
y más aún mis vecinos;
¡soy el hazmerreír de mis conocidos!
Los que me ven en la calle, huyen de mí.
12 Me han olvidado, como a los muertos;
hasta parezco una vasija hecha pedazos.
13 Puedo oír cómo muchos me calumnian:
«¡Hay terror por todas partes!»,
y mientras tanto, todos conspiran contra mí
y hacen planes para matarme.
¡Sólo piensan quitarme la vida!
14 Señor, yo confío en ti,
y declaro que tú eres mi Dios.
15 Mi vida está en tus manos;
¡líbrame de mis enemigos y perseguidores!
16 ¡Haz brillar tu rostro sobre este siervo tuyo!
¡Sálvame, por tu misericordia!
17 Señor, no permitas que sea yo avergonzado,
porque a ti te he invocado.
¡Que sean avergonzados los impíos!
¡Que enmudezcan en el sepulcro!
18 ¡Que sean silenciados los labios mentirosos,
esos que hablan mal del hombre honrado
y lo tratan con soberbia y desprecio!
19 ¡Cuán grande es tu bondad,
la cual reservas para los que en ti confían!
¡Delante de todos la manifiestas
a los que en ti buscan refugio!
20 En lo más recóndito de tu presencia
los pones a salvo de la maldad humana;
les das refugio en tu tabernáculo;
¡los pones a salvo de las malas lenguas!
21 ¡Bendito seas, Señor!
¡Grande ha sido tu misericordia por mí!
¡Me pusiste en una ciudad fortificada!
22 En mi angustia llegué a pensar
que me habías apartado de tu vista,
pero tú escuchaste mi voz suplicante
en el momento en que a ti clamé.
23 Ustedes, fieles del Señor, ¡ámenlo!
El Señor cuida de quienes le son fieles,
pero a los que actúan guiados por la soberbia
les da el castigo que merecen.
24 Ustedes, los que esperan en el Señor,
¡esfuércense, y cobren ánimo!
Psalm 31
Revised Geneva Translation
31 In You, O LORD, have I put my trust. Let me never be confounded. Deliver me in Your righteousness.
2 Bow down Your ear to me. Make haste to deliver me. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.
3 For You are my rock and my fortress. Therefore, direct me and guide me for Your Name’s sake.
4 Draw me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me. For You are my strength.
5 Into Your hand I commend My spirit. For You have redeemed me, O LORD God of Truth.
6 I have hated those who give themselves to deceitful vanities; for I trust in the LORD.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy. For You have seen my trouble. You have known my soul in adversities.
8 And You have not shut me up in the hand of the enemy but have set my feet in an open space.
9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble. My eye, my soul and my belly are consumed with grief.
10 For my life is wasted with heaviness, and my years with mourning. My strength fails because of my pain; and my bones are consumed.
11 I was a reproach among all my enemies — but especially among my neighbors — and a fear to my acquaintances. Who, seeing me in the street, 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 railing of great men. Fear was on every side, while they conspired together against me and consulted to take my life.
14 But I trusted in You, O LORD. I said, “You are my God.”
15 My times are in Your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
16 Make Your face to shine upon Your servant. Save me through Your mercy.
17 Let me not be confounded, O LORD, for I have called upon You. Let the wicked be put to confusion, to silence, in the grave.
18 Let the lying lips which cruelly, proudly, and spitefully speak against the righteous be made dumb.
19 How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You; and done to those who trust in You before the sons of men!
20 You hide them from the pride of men in the secret place of Your presence. You keep them secretly in Your Tabernacle from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the LORD. For He has shown His marvelous kindness toward me in a strong city.
22 Though I said in my haste, “I am cast out of Your sight!” Still, You heard the voice of my prayer when I cried to You.
23 Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful and abundantly repays the proud.
24 All you who trust in the LORD, be strong; and He shall establish your heart. A Psalm of David, to give instruction.
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.

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.
