Salmos 71
Traducción en lenguaje actual
Tú eres mi refugio
SALMO 71 (70)
71 Dios mío,
en ti he puesto mi confianza;
no me pongas jamás en vergüenza.
2 Tú eres un Dios justo;
¡rescátame y ponme a salvo!
¡Préstame atención y ayúdame!
3 ¡Protégeme como una roca
donde siempre pueda refugiarme!
Da la orden, y quedaré a salvo,
pues tú eres esa roca;
¡tú eres mi fortaleza!
4-5 Dios mío,
tú eres mi esperanza;
no permitas que yo caiga
en poder de gente malvada y violenta.
Desde que era joven
puse mi confianza en ti;
6 desde antes de nacer
ya dependía de ti.
¡Fuiste tú quien me hizo nacer!
¡Por eso te alabaré siempre!
7 Muchos se asombran al verme,
pero tú eres para mí
un refugio seguro.
8 A todas horas te alabo;
todo el día anuncio tu grandeza.
9 No me desprecies
cuando llegue yo a viejo;
no me abandones
cuando ya no tenga fuerzas.
10 Mis enemigos hablan mal de mí;
me vigilan y piensan hacerme daño.
11 Hasta ordenan a su gente
que me persigan y me atrapen.
Creen que me abandonaste,
y que nadie podrá salvarme.
12 Dios mío,
¡no me dejes solo!
¡Ven pronto en mi ayuda!
13 Pon en vergüenza
a los que me acusan;
¡pon en completo ridículo
a los que buscan mi mal,
y acaba con ellos!
14 Yo, por mi parte,
siempre confiaré en ti
y te alabaré más todavía.
15 Aunque no alcanzo a entenderlo,
a todas horas diré
que eres un Dios que salva
con grandes actos de justicia.
16 Dios mío,
ahora voy a recordar
tus hechos poderosos,
y hablaré de la justicia
que sólo tú puedes hacer.
17 Desde que yo era joven
tú has sido mi maestro,
y hasta ahora sigo hablando
de las maravillas que has hecho.
18-19 Dios mío,
aunque estoy lleno de canas,
no me abandones;
todavía quiero decirles
a los que aún no han nacido
que tú eres un Dios poderoso.
Eres incomparable,
pues has hecho grandes cosas;
tu justicia llega hasta el cielo.
20 Tú me hiciste pasar
por muchos aprietos y problemas,
pero volverás a darme vida:
¡de lo profundo de la tumba
volverás a levantarme!
21 Me darás mayor poder,
y volverás a consolarme.
22 Santo Dios de Israel,
tú eres un Dios fiel.
Por eso te cantaré himnos
con música de arpas
y de otros instrumentos de cuerda.
23 Te cantaré himnos
y gritaré de alegría
porque me salvaste la vida.
24 Todo el día hablaré
de tu poder para salvar,
pues los que buscaban hacerme daño
quedaron avergonzados por completo.
Psalm 71
New International Reader's Version
71 Lord, I have gone to you for safety.
Let me never be put to shame.
2 You do what is right, so save me and help me.
Pay attention to me and save me.
3 Be my rock of safety
that I can always go to.
Give the command to save me.
You are my rock and my fort.
4 My God, save me from the power of sinners.
Save me from the hands of those who are mean and evil.
5 You are the King and the Lord. You have always been my hope.
I have trusted in you ever since I was young.
6 From the time I was born I have depended on you.
You brought me out of my mother’s body.
I will praise you forever.
7 To many people I am an example of how much you care.
You are my strong place of safety.
8 My mouth is filled with praise for you.
All day long I will talk about your glory.
9 Don’t push me away when I’m old.
Don’t desert me when my strength is gone.
10 My enemies speak against me.
Those who want to kill me get together and make evil plans.
11 They say, “God has deserted him.
Go after him and grab him.
No one will save him.”
12 God, don’t be far away from me.
My God, come quickly and help me.
13 May those who bring charges against me die in shame.
May those who want to harm me
be covered with shame and dishonor.
14 But I will always have hope.
I will praise you more and more.
15 I will tell other people about all the good things you have done.
All day long I will talk about how you have saved your people.
But there’s no way I could say how many times you’ve done this.
16 Lord and King, I will come and announce your mighty acts.
I will announce all the good things that you alone do.
17 God, ever since I was young you have taught me.
To this very day I tell about your wonderful acts.
18 God, don’t leave me
even when I’m old and have gray hair.
Let me live to tell my children about your power.
Let me tell all of them about your mighty acts.
19 God, your saving acts reach to the skies.
You have done great things.
God, who is like you?
20 You have sent many bitter troubles my way.
But you will give me new life.
Even if I’m almost in the grave,
you will bring me back.
21 You will honor me more and more.
You will comfort me once again.
22 My God, I will use the harp to praise you
because you are always faithful.
Holy One of Israel,
I will use the lyre to sing praise to you.
23 My lips will shout with joy
when I sing praise to you.
You have saved me.
24 All day long my tongue will say
that you have done what is right.
Those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame.
They have not been honored.
