Oración pidiendo ser librado de los enemigos

Al músico principal; sobre No destruyas. Mictam de David, cuando Saúl ordenó que vigilaran la casa de David para matarlo.(A)

59 Líbrame de mis enemigos, oh Dios mío;

Ponme a salvo de los que se levantan contra mí.

Líbrame de los que cometen iniquidad,

Y sálvame de hombres sanguinarios.

Porque he aquí están acechando mi vida;

Se han juntado contra mí poderosos.

No por falta mía, ni pecado mío, oh Jehová;

Sin delito mío corren y se aperciben.

Despierta para venir a mi encuentro, y mira.

Y tú, Jehová Dios de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel,

Despierta para castigar a todas las naciones;

No tengas misericordia de todos los que se rebelan con iniquidad. Selah

Volverán a la tarde, ladrarán como perros,

Y rodearán la ciudad.

He aquí proferirán con su boca;

Espadas hay en sus labios,

Porque dicen: ¿Quién oye?

Mas tú, Jehová, te reirás de ellos;

Te burlarás de todas las naciones.

A causa del poder del enemigo esperaré en ti,

Porque Dios es mi defensa.

10 El Dios de mi misericordia irá delante de mí;

Dios hará que vea en mis enemigos mi deseo.

11 No los mates, para que mi pueblo no olvide;

Dispérsalos con tu poder, y abátelos,

Oh Jehová, escudo nuestro.

12 Por el pecado de su boca, por la palabra de sus labios,

Sean ellos presos en su soberbia,

Y por la maldición y mentira que profieren.

13 Acábalos con furor, acábalos, para que no sean;

Y sépase que Dios gobierna en Jacob

Hasta los fines de la tierra. Selah

14 Vuelvan, pues, a la tarde, y ladren como perros,

Y rodeen la ciudad.

15 Anden ellos errantes para hallar qué comer;

Y si no se sacian, pasen la noche quejándose.

16 Pero yo cantaré de tu poder,

Y alabaré de mañana tu misericordia;

Porque has sido mi amparo

Y refugio en el día de mi angustia.

17 Fortaleza mía, a ti cantaré;

Porque eres, oh Dios, mi refugio, el Dios de mi misericordia.

For the director of music. A miktam of David when Saul had sent men to watch David’s house. Saul sent the men to kill David. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.”

59 God, save me from my enemies.
    Keep me safe from people who are attacking me.
Save me from those who do evil.
    Save me from people who want to kill me.

See how they hide and wait for me!
    Lord, angry people plan to harm me,
    even though I haven’t hurt them in any way or sinned against them.
I haven’t done anything wrong to them. But they are ready to attack me.
    Rise up and help me! Look at what I’m up against!
Lord God who rules over all, rise up. God of Israel,
    punish all the nations.
Don’t show any mercy to those sinful people
    who have turned against me.

My enemies are like a pack of barking dogs
    that come back to the city in the evening.
    They prowl around the city.
Listen to what pours out of their mouths.
    The words from their lips are like swords.
    They think, “Who can hear us?”
But you laugh at them, Lord.
    You make fun of all those nations.

You give me strength. I look to you.
God, you are like a fort to me. 10     You are my God, and I can depend on you.

God will march out in front of me.
    He will let me look down on those who tell lies about me.
11 Lord, you are like a shield that keeps us safe.
    Don’t kill my enemies all at once.
    If you do, my people will forget about it.
Use your power to pull my enemies up by the roots like weeds.
    Destroy them.
12 They have sinned with their mouths.
    Their lips have spoken evil words.
They have cursed me and lied.
    Let them be caught in their pride.
13 Burn them up in your anger.
    Burn them up until there isn’t anything left of them.
Then everyone from one end of the earth to the other will know
    that God rules over the people of Jacob.

14 My enemies are like a pack of barking dogs
    that come back into the city in the evening.
    They prowl around the city.
15 They wander around looking for food.
    They groan if they don’t find something that will satisfy them.
16 But I will sing about your strength.
    In the morning I will sing about your love.
You are like a fort to me.
    You keep me safe in times of trouble.

17 You give me strength. I sing praise to you.
    God, you are like a fort to me. You are my God, and I can depend on you.
