Salmos 56
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
Al director musical. Sígase la tonada de «La tórtola en los robles lejanos». Mictam de David, cuando los filisteos lo apresaron en Gat.
56 Ten compasión de mí, oh Dios,
pues hay gente que me persigue.
Todo el día me atacan mis opresores,
2 todo el día me persiguen mis adversarios;
son muchos los arrogantes que me atacan.
3 Cuando siento miedo,
pongo en ti mi confianza.
4 Confío en Dios y alabo su palabra;
confío en Dios y no siento miedo.
¿Qué puede hacerme un simple mortal?
5 Todo el día tuercen mis palabras;
siempre están pensando hacerme mal.
6 Conspiran, se mantienen al acecho;
ansiosos por quitarme la vida,
vigilan todo lo que hago.
7 ¡En tu enojo, Dios mío, humilla a esos pueblos!
¡De ningún modo los dejes escapar!
8 Toma en cuenta mis lamentos;
registra mi llanto en tu libro.[a]
¿Acaso no lo tienes anotado?
9 Cuando yo te pida ayuda,
huirán mis enemigos.
Una cosa sé: ¡Dios está de mi parte!
10 Confío en Dios y alabo su palabra;
confío en el Señor y alabo su palabra;
11 confío en Dios y no siento miedo.
¿Qué puede hacerme un simple mortal?
12 He hecho votos delante de ti, oh Dios,
y te presentaré mis ofrendas de gratitud.
13 Tú, oh Dios, me has librado de tropiezos,
me has librado de la muerte,
para que siempre, en tu presencia,
camine en la luz de la vida.

Prayer for Relief from Tormentors
To the Chief Musician. Set to [a]“The Silent Dove in Distant Lands.” A Michtam of David when the (A)Philistines captured him in Gath.
56 Be (B)merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up;
Fighting all day he oppresses me.
2 My enemies would (C)hound me all day,
For there are many who fight against me, O Most High.
3 Whenever I am afraid,
I will trust in You.
4 In God (I will praise His word),
In God I have put my trust;
(D)I will not fear.
What can flesh do to me?
5 All day they twist my words;
All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They gather together,
They hide, they mark my steps,
When they lie in wait for my life.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity?
In anger cast down the peoples, O God!
8 You number my wanderings;
Put my tears into Your bottle;
(E)Are they not in Your book?
9 When I cry out to You,
Then my enemies will turn back;
This I know, because (F)God is for me.
10 In God (I will praise His word),
In the Lord (I will praise His word),
11 In God I have put my trust;
I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
12 Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God;
I will render praises to You,
13 (G)For You have delivered my soul from death.
Have You not kept my feet from falling,
That I may walk before God
In the (H)light of the living?
