Salmos 56
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Salmo 56
Oración de confianza y gratitud
Para el director del coro; según la tonada de «La paloma silenciosa de los que están lejos». Mictam de David cuando los filisteos lo prendieron en Gat.
56 Ten piedad de mí, oh Dios, porque el hombre me ha pisoteado(A);
Me oprime combatiéndome todo el día(B).
2 Mis enemigos me han pisoteado(C) todo el día,
Porque muchos son los que con soberbia pelean contra mí(D).
3 El día en que temo(E),
Yo en Ti confío(F).
4 En Dios, cuya palabra alabo(G),
En Dios he confiado, no temeré.
¿Qué puede hacerme el hombre(H)?
5 Todo el día pervierten mis palabras(I);
Todos sus pensamientos contra mí son para mal(J).
6 Atacan, se esconden(K),
Espían mis pasos(L),
Como esperando para quitarme la vida(M).
7 Por causa de la iniquidad, arrójalos(N),
En Tu ira humilla a los pueblos, oh Dios(O).
8 ¶Tú has tomado en cuenta mi vida errante(P);
Pon mis lágrimas(Q) en Tu frasco;
¿Acaso no están en Tu libro(R)?
9 Entonces mis enemigos retrocederán(S) el día en que yo te invoque(T).
Esto sé: que Dios está a favor mío(U).
10 En Dios, cuya palabra alabo,
En el Señor, cuya palabra honro;
11 En Dios he confiado, no temeré.
¿Qué puede hacerme el hombre?
12 Están sobre mí, oh Dios, los votos que te hice(V);
Ofrendas de acción de gracias te ofreceré.
13 Pues Tú has librado mi alma de la muerte(W),
Y mis pies de tropiezo(X),
Para que yo pueda andar delante de Dios(Y)
En la luz de la vida(Z).
Psalm 56
King James Version
56 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
10 In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word.
11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
Psalm 56
English Standard Version
In God I Trust
To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A (A)Miktam[a] of David, when the (B)Philistines seized him in Gath.
56 (C)Be gracious to me, O God, for man (D)tramples on me;
all day long an attacker oppresses me;
2 my enemies trample on me all day long,
for many attack me proudly.
3 When I am afraid,
I (E)put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; (F)I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?
5 All day long they injure my cause;[b]
all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They (G)stir up strife, they (H)lurk;
they (I)watch my steps,
as they have waited for my life.
7 For their crime will they escape?
(J)In wrath (K)cast down the peoples, O God!
8 You have kept count of my tossings;[c]
(L)put my tears in your bottle.
(M)Are they not in your book?
9 Then my enemies will turn back
(N)in the day when I call.
This I know, that[d] (O)God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
11 in God I trust; (P)I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
12 I must perform my (Q)vows to you, O God;
I will (R)render thank offerings to you.
13 (S)For you have delivered my soul from death,
yes, my feet from falling,
(T)that I may walk before God
(U)in the light of life.
