Salmos 56

1Al maestro de coro. Por el tono “Paloma silenciosa de la lejanía”. De David. Miktam. Cuando lo prendieron los filisteos en Qat.

2Apiádate de mí, oh Dios, porque el hombre me pisotea, me oprime con su ataque incesante.

3Todo el día tratan mis enemigos de devorarme, y son muchos los que me combaten... Oh Altísimo,

4el día en que me invada el temor, confiaré en Ti.

5Me gloriaré en la promesa de Dios, confiado en Dios no temo. ¿Qué podrá contra mí un hombre de carne?

6Siempre toman a mal mis palabras, todos sus pensamientos son para mi daño.

7Se conjuran, ponen asechanzas, observan mis pasos, buscando cómo quitarme la vida.

8Devuélveles otro tanto por su iniquidad; oh Dios, abate los pueblos en tu ira.

9Tú cuentas los pasos de mi vida errante; recoges mis lágrimas en tu redoma. ¿No están acaso escritos en tu libro?

10Así pues mis enemigos retrocederán; cada vez que apelo a Ti conozco que Dios está conmigo.

11Me gloriaré en la promesa de Dios,

12confiado en Dios no temo. ¿Qué podrá contra mí un hombre de carne?

13Te debo, oh Dios, los votos que te hice; te ofreceré sacrificios de alabanza.

14Pues Tú has librado mi vida de la muerte, y mis pies de la caída, para que ande yo ante la faz de Dios en la luz de los vivientes.

1In finem, pro populo qui a sanctis longe factus est. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum tenuerunt eum Allophyli in Geth.

2[Miserere mei, Deus, quoniam conculcavit me homo; tota die impugnans, tribulavit me.

3Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.

4Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.

5In Deo laudabo sermones meos; in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.

6Tota die verba mea execrabantur; adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum.

7Inhabitabunt, et abscondent; ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,

8pro nihilo salvos facies illos; in ira populos confringes.

9Deus, vitam meam annuntiavi tibi; posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo, sicut et in promissione tua:

10tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum. In quacumque die invocavero te, ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.

11In Deo laudabo verbum; in Domino laudabo sermonem. In Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.

12In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quæ reddam, laudationes tibi:

13quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu, ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium.]

1Unto the end, for a people that is removed at a distance from the sanctuary for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar) when the Philistines held him in Geth.

2Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.

3My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.

4From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.

5In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me.

6All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.

7They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,

8For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces, O God,

9I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.

10Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.

11In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech. In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.

12In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:

13Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
