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.
