Salmos 69
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Salmo 69
Oración del justo perseguido
Para el director del coro; según «Los lirios». Salmo de David.
69 Sálvame, oh Dios,
Porque las aguas me han llegado hasta el alma(A).
2 Me he hundido en cieno profundo(B), y no hay donde apoyar el pie;
He llegado a lo profundo de las aguas, y la corriente me cubre(C).
3 Cansado estoy de llorar(D); reseca está mi garganta;
Mis ojos desfallecen(E) mientras espero a mi Dios.
4 Más que los cabellos de mi cabeza son los que sin causa me aborrecen(F);
Poderosos son los que quieren destruirme(G),
Sin razón son mis enemigos,
Me hacen devolver aquello que no robé(H).
5 ¶Oh Dios, Tú conoces mi insensatez(I),
Y mis transgresiones no te son ocultas(J).
6 ¡No se avergüencen de mí los que en Ti esperan(K), oh Señor, Dios de los ejércitos!
¡No sean humillados por mí los que te buscan, oh Dios de Israel!
7 Pues por amor de Ti he sufrido insultos(L);
La ignominia ha cubierto mi rostro(M).
8 Me he convertido en extraño para mis hermanos,
Y en extranjero para los hijos de mi madre(N).
9 Porque el celo por Tu casa me ha consumido(O),
Y los insultos de los que te injurian han caído sobre mí(P).
10 Cuando lloraba afligiendo con ayuno mi alma(Q),
Eso se convirtió en afrenta para mí.
11 Cuando hice de cilicio mi vestido(R),
Me convertí en proverbio para ellos(S).
12 Hablan de mí los que se sientan a la puerta(T),
Y soy la canción(U) de los borrachos.
13 ¶Pero yo elevo a Ti mi oración, oh Señor, en tiempo propicio(V);
Oh Dios, en la grandeza de Tu misericordia(W),
Respóndeme con Tu verdad salvadora[a].
14 Sácame del cieno(X) y no dejes que me hunda;
Sea yo librado de los que me odian(Y), y de lo profundo de las aguas(Z).
15 No me cubra la corriente de las aguas(AA),
Ni me trague el abismo,
Ni el pozo cierre sobre mí su boca(AB).
16 ¶Respóndeme, oh Señor, pues buena es Tu misericordia(AC);
Vuélvete a mí(AD), conforme a Tu inmensa compasión(AE),
17 Y no escondas Tu rostro de Tu siervo(AF),
Porque estoy en angustia(AG); respóndeme pronto.
18 Acércate a mi alma y redímela(AH);
Por causa de mis enemigos, rescátame(AI).
19 Tú conoces mi afrenta(AJ), mi vergüenza y mi ignominia;
Todos mis adversarios están delante de Ti.
20 ¶La afrenta ha quebrantado mi corazón(AK), y estoy enfermo;
Esperé compasión, pero no la hubo(AL);
Busqué consoladores(AM), pero no los hallé.
21 Y por comida me dieron hiel(AN),
Y para mi sed me dieron a beber vinagre(AO).
22 ¶Que la mesa delante de ellos se convierta en lazo(AP),
Y cuando estén en paz(AQ), se vuelva una trampa.
23 Núblense sus ojos para que no puedan ver(AR),
Y haz que sus lomos tiemblen continuamente(AS).
24 Derrama sobre ellos Tu indignación(AT),
Y que el ardor de Tu ira los alcance.
25 Sea desolado su campamento,
Y nadie habite en sus tiendas(AU).
26 Porque han perseguido(AV) al que ya Tú has herido(AW),
Y cuentan del dolor de aquellos que Tú has traspasado(AX).
27 Añade iniquidad a su iniquidad(AY),
Y que no entren en Tu justicia(AZ).
28 Sean borrados(BA) del libro de la vida(BB),
Y no sean inscritos con los justos(BC).
29 ¶Pero yo estoy afligido y adolorido(BD);
Tu salvación, oh Dios, me ponga en alto(BE).
30 Con cántico alabaré el nombre de Dios(BF),
Y con acción de gracias(BG) lo exaltaré(BH).
31 Y esto agradará al Señor(BI) más que el sacrificio de un buey
O de un novillo con cuernos y pezuñas.
32 Esto han visto los humildes y se alegran(BJ).
Viva su corazón, ustedes los que buscan a Dios(BK).
33 Porque el Señor oye a los necesitados(BL)
Y no desprecia a los suyos que están presos(BM).
34 ¶Alábenle los cielos y la tierra,
Los mares y todo lo que en ellos se mueve(BN).
35 Porque Dios salvará a Sión(BO) y edificará las ciudades de Judá(BP),
Para que ellos moren allí y la posean(BQ).
36 Y la descendencia de Sus siervos la heredará(BR),
Y los que aman Su nombre morarán en ella(BS).

Psalm 69
GOD’S WORD Translation
For the choir director; according to shoshannim; by David.
69 Save me, O God!
The water is already up to my neck!
2 I am sinking in deep mud.
There is nothing to stand on.
I am in deep water.
A flood is sweeping me away.
3 I am exhausted from crying for help.
My throat is hoarse.
My eyes are strained ⌞from⌟ looking for my God.
4 Those who hate me for no reason
outnumber the hairs on my head.
Those who want to destroy me are mighty.
They have no reason to be my enemies.
I am forced to pay back what I did not steal.
5 O God, you know my stupidity,
and the things of which I am guilty are not hidden from you.
6 Do not let those who wait with hope for you
be put to shame because of me, O Almighty Lord of Armies.
Do not let those who come to you for help
be humiliated because of me, O God of Israel.
7 Indeed, for your sake I have endured insults.
Humiliation has covered my face.
8 I have become a stranger to my ⌞own⌟ brothers,
a foreigner to my mother’s sons.
9 Indeed, devotion for your house has consumed me,
and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.
10 I cried and fasted, but I was insulted for it.
11 I dressed myself in sackcloth, but I became the object of ridicule.
12 Those who sit at the gate gossip about me,
and drunkards make up songs about me.
13 May my prayer come to you at an acceptable time, O Lord.
O God, out of the greatness of your mercy,
answer me with the truth of your salvation.
14 Rescue me from the mud.
Do not let me sink ⌞into it⌟.
I want to be rescued from those who hate me
and from the deep water.
15 Do not let floodwaters sweep me away.
Do not let the ocean swallow me up,
or the pit close its mouth over me.
16 Answer me, O Lord, because your mercy is good.
Out of your unlimited compassion, turn to me.
17 I am in trouble, so do not hide your face from me.
Answer me quickly!
18 Come close, and defend my soul.
Set me free because of my enemies.
19 You know that I have been insulted, put to shame, and humiliated.
All my opponents are in front of you.
20 Insults have broken my heart, and I am sick.
I looked for sympathy, but there was none.
I looked for people to comfort me, but I found no one.
21 They poisoned my food,
and when I was thirsty, they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Let the table set for them become a trap
and a snare for their friends.
23 Let their vision become clouded so that they cannot see.
Let their thighs continually shake.
24 Pour your rage on them.
Let your burning anger catch up with them.
25 Let their camp be deserted
and their tents empty.
26 They persecute the one you have struck,
and they talk about the pain of those you have wounded.
27 Charge them with one crime after another.
Do not let them be found innocent.
28 Let their ⌞names⌟ be erased from the Book of Life.
Do not let them be listed with righteous people.
29 I am suffering and in pain.
Let your saving power protect me, O God.
30 I want to praise God’s name with a song.
I want to praise his great name with a song of thanksgiving.
31 This will please the Lord more than ⌞sacrificing⌟ an ox
or a bull with horns and hoofs.
32 Oppressed people will see ⌞this⌟ and rejoice.
May the hearts of those who look to God for help be refreshed.
33 The Lord listens to needy people.
He does not despise his own who are in prison.
34 Let heaven and earth, the seas, and everything that moves in them, praise him.
35 When God saves Zion, he will rebuild the cities of Judah.
His servants will live there and take possession of it.
36 The descendants of his servants will inherit it.
Those who love him will live there.
Psalm 69
New International Version
Psalm 69[a]
For the director of music. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David.
1 Save me, O God,
for the waters(A) have come up to my neck.(B)
2 I sink in the miry depths,(C)
where there is no foothold.
I have come into the deep waters;
the floods engulf me.
3 I am worn out calling for help;(D)
my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,(E)
looking for my God.
4 Those who hate me(F) without reason(G)
outnumber the hairs of my head;
many are my enemies without cause,(H)
those who seek to destroy me.(I)
I am forced to restore
what I did not steal.
6 Lord, the Lord Almighty,
may those who hope in you
not be disgraced because of me;
God of Israel,
may those who seek you
not be put to shame because of me.
7 For I endure scorn(L) for your sake,(M)
and shame covers my face.(N)
8 I am a foreigner to my own family,
a stranger to my own mother’s children;(O)
9 for zeal for your house consumes me,(P)
and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.(Q)
10 When I weep and fast,(R)
I must endure scorn;
11 when I put on sackcloth,(S)
people make sport of me.
12 Those who sit at the gate(T) mock me,
and I am the song of the drunkards.(U)
13 But I pray to you, Lord,
in the time of your favor;(V)
in your great love,(W) O God,
answer me with your sure salvation.
14 Rescue me from the mire,
do not let me sink;
deliver me from those who hate me,
from the deep waters.(X)
15 Do not let the floodwaters(Y) engulf me
or the depths swallow me up(Z)
or the pit close its mouth over me.(AA)
16 Answer me, Lord, out of the goodness of your love;(AB)
in your great mercy turn to me.
17 Do not hide your face(AC) from your servant;
answer me quickly,(AD) for I am in trouble.(AE)
18 Come near and rescue me;
deliver(AF) me because of my foes.
19 You know how I am scorned,(AG) disgraced and shamed;
all my enemies are before you.
20 Scorn has broken my heart
and has left me helpless;
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
for comforters,(AH) but I found none.(AI)
21 They put gall in my food
and gave me vinegar(AJ) for my thirst.(AK)
22 May the table set before them become a snare;
may it become retribution and[b] a trap.(AL)
23 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,
and their backs be bent forever.(AM)
24 Pour out your wrath(AN) on them;
let your fierce anger overtake them.
25 May their place be deserted;(AO)
let there be no one to dwell in their tents.(AP)
26 For they persecute those you wound
and talk about the pain of those you hurt.(AQ)
27 Charge them with crime upon crime;(AR)
do not let them share in your salvation.(AS)
28 May they be blotted out of the book of life(AT)
and not be listed with the righteous.(AU)
29 But as for me, afflicted and in pain—
may your salvation, God, protect me.(AV)
30 I will praise God’s name in song(AW)
and glorify him(AX) with thanksgiving.
31 This will please the Lord more than an ox,
more than a bull with its horns and hooves.(AY)
32 The poor will see and be glad(AZ)—
you who seek God, may your hearts live!(BA)
33 The Lord hears the needy(BB)
and does not despise his captive people.
