Salmos 59

1Al maestro de coro. Por el tono de “No destruyas”. De David. Miktam. Cuando Saúl mandó hombres que vigilaran la casa para matarlo.

2Dios mío, sálvame de mis enemigos; defiéndeme de los que me atacan.

3Líbrame de los que obran iniquidades y protégeme contra los hombres sanguinarios.

4Mira: ponen asechanzas a mi vida, y hombres poderosos conspiran contra mí. No hay en mí delito ni pecado, Yahvé.

5Sin culpa mía irrumpen y me asaltan. Despierta Tú, ven a mí y mira.

6Porque Tú, Yahvé, Dios de los ejércitos, eres el Dios de Israel. Levántate a castigar a todos los gentiles; no te apiades de ninguno de los pérfidos.

7Vuelven al anochecer, aullando como perros, y giran en torno de la ciudad.

8Mira la jactancia en su boca, y cómo injurian sus labios:.. “¿Quién hay que (nos) oiga?”

9Mas Tú, Yahvé te ríes de ellos; harás befa de todos los gentiles.

10Oh fortaleza mía, a Ti cantaré. Verdaderamente mi alcázar es Dios.

11La misericordia de mi Dios se me anticipará y me hará mirar con alegría a mis enemigos.

12No les des tregua, oh Dios; no sean tropiezo para mi pueblo. Confúndelos con tu poder y póstralos, oh Señor, escudo nuestro.

13Pecado de su boca es cuanto profieren sus labios; sean presa de su propia soberbia, de sus maldiciones y de sus mentiras.

14Destrúyelos en tu saña, destrúyelos hasta que ya no existan; entonces se sabrá que Dios reina en Jacob y hasta los confines del orbe.

15Vuelvan al anochecer, aullando como perros, y giren en torno de la ciudad;

16vaguen buscando qué comer, y si no se sacian, den aullidos.

17Entretanto, yo cantaré tu potencia, y desde la mañana saltaré de gozo por tu misericordia; porque fuiste mi protector, y mi refugio en el día de la tribulación.

18Oh fortaleza mía, a Ti cantaré. Verdaderamente mi alcázar es Dios, el Dios misericordiosísimo conmigo.

1In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, quando misit Saul et custodivit domum ejus ut eum interficeret.

2[Eripe me de inimicis meis, Deus meus, et ab insurgentibus in me libera me.

3Eripe me de operantibus iniquitatem, et de viris sanguinum salva me.

4Quia ecce ceperunt animam meam; irruerunt in me fortes.

5Neque iniquitas mea, neque peccatum meum, Domine; sine iniquitate cucurri, et direxi.

6Exsurge in occursum meum, et vide: et tu, Domine Deus virtutum, Deus Israël, intende ad visitandas omnes gentes: non miserearis omnibus qui operantur iniquitatem.

7Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes: et circuibunt civitatem.

8Ecce loquentur in ore suo, et gladius in labiis eorum: quoniam quis audivit?

9Et tu, Domine, deridebis eos; ad nihilum deduces omnes gentes.

10Fortitudinem meam ad te custodiam, quia, Deus, susceptor meus es:

11Deus meus misericordia ejus præveniet me.

12Deus ostendet mihi super inimicos meos: ne occidas eos, nequando obliviscantur populi mei. Disperge illos in virtute tua, et depone eos, protector meus, Domine:

13delictum oris eorum, sermonem labiorum ipsorum; et comprehendantur in superbia sua. Et de execratione et mendacio annuntiabuntur

14in consummatione: in ira consummationis, et non erunt. Et scient quia Deus dominabitur Jacob, et finium terræ.

15Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes: et circuibunt civitatem.

16Ipsi dispergentur ad manducandum; si vero non fuerint saturati, et murmurabunt.

17Ego autem cantabo fortitudinem tuam, et exsultabo mane misericordiam tuam: quia factus es susceptor meus, et refugium meum in die tribulationis meæ.

18Adjutor meus, tibi psallam, quia Deus susceptor meus es; Deus meus, misericordia mea.]

1Unto the end, destroy not, for David for an inscription of It title, when Saul sent and watched his house to kill him.

2Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; and defend me from them that rise up against me.

3Deliver me from them that work iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

4For behold they have caught my soul: the mighty have rushed in upon me:

5Neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord: without iniquity have I run, and directed my steps.

6Rise up thou to meet me, and behold: even thou, O Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel. Attend to visit all the nations: have no mercy on all them that work iniquity.

7They shall return at evening, and shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall go round about the city.

8Behold they shall speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: for who, say they, hath heard us?

9But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them: thou shalt bring all the nations to nothing.

10I will keep my strength to thee: for thou art my protector:

11My God, his mercy shall prevent me.

12God shall let me see over my enemies: slay them not, lest at any time my people forget. Scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord, my protector:

13For the sin of their mouth, and the word of their lips: and let them be taken in their pride. And for their cursing and lying they shall be talked of,

14When they are consumed: when they are consumed by thy wrath, and they shall be no more. And they shall know that God will rule Jacob, and all the ends of the earth.

15They shall return at evening and shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall go round about the city.

16They shall be scattered abroad to eat, and shall murmur if they be not filled.

17But I will sing thy strength: and will extol thy mercy in the morning. For thou art become my support, and my refuge, in the day of my trouble.

18Unto thee, O my helper, will I sing, for thou art God my defence: my God my mercy.
