1 Al Músico principal: sobre La paloma silenciosa en paraje muy distante. Michtam de David, cuando los Filisteos le prendieron en Gath. TEN misericordia de mí, oh Dios, porque me devoraría el hombre: Me oprime combatiéndome cada día.

2 Apúranme mis enemigos cada día; Porque muchos son los que pelean contra mí, oh Altísimo.

3 En el día que temo, Yo en ti confío.

4 En Dios alabaré su palabra: En Dios he confiado, no temeré Lo que la carne me hiciere.

5 Todos los días me contristan mis negocios; Contra mí son todos sus pensamientos para mal.

6 Reúnense, escóndense, Miran ellos atentamente mis pasos, Esperando mi vida.

7 ¿Escaparán ellos por la iniquidad? Oh Dios, derriba en tu furor los pueblos.

8 Mis huídas has tú contado: Pon mis lágrimas en tu redoma: ¿No están ellas en tu libro?

9 Serán luego vueltos atrás mis enemigos el día que yo clamare: En esto conozco que Dios es por mí.

10 En Dios alabaré su palabra; En Jehová alabaré su palabra.

11 En Dios he confiado: no temeré Lo que me hará el hombre.

12 Sobre mí, oh Dios, están tus votos: Te tributaré alabanzas.

13 Porque has librado mi vida de la muerte, Y mis pies de caída, Para que ande delante de Dios En la luz de los que viven.

1 To the chief music-maker; put to Jonath elem rehokim. Of David. Michtam. When the Philistines took him in Gath.

2 \56:1\Have mercy on me, O God, for man is attempting my destruction; every day he makes cruel attacks against me.

3 \56:2\My haters are ever ready to put an end to me; great numbers are lifting themselves up against me.

4 \56:3\In the time of my fear, I will have faith in you.

5 \56:4\In God will I give praise to his word; in God have I put my hope; I will have no fear of what flesh may do to me.

6 \56:5\Every day they make wrong use of my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

7 \56:6\They come together, they are waiting in secret places, they take note of my steps, they are waiting for my soul.

8 \56:7\By evil-doing they will not get free from punishment. In wrath, O God, let the peoples be made low.

9 \56:8\You have seen my wanderings; put the drops from my eyes into your bottle; are they not in your record?

10 \56:9\When I send up my cry to you, my haters will be turned back; I am certain of this, for God is with me.

11 \56:10\In God will I give praise to his word; in the Lord will I give praise to his word.

12 \56:11\In God have I put my hope, I will have no fear of what man may do to me.

13 \56:12\I keep the memory of my debt to you, O God; I will give you the offerings of praise.

14 \56:13\Because you have taken my soul from the power of death; and kept my feet from falling, so that I may be walking before God in the light of life.
