Salmo 55

Nueva Biblia Viva

de Biblica

Al director musical. Acompáñese con instrumentos de cuerda. Masquil de David.

1 Escucha mi plegaria, oh Dios; no te ocultes cuando clamo a ti. 

2 Por favor, óyeme y respóndeme, porque mis cargas me agobian. 

3 Mis enemigos gritan contra mí y me amenazan. Me traen problemas derribándome en su enojo. 

4 Mi corazón se angustia dentro de mí. El terror a la muerte me domina. 

5 Temblando estoy de miedo, sobrecogido estoy de terror. 

6 ¡Quién tuviera alas como paloma para escapar y reposar! 

7 Yo volaría a los lejanos desiertos y allá me quedaría. 

8 De toda esta tormenta escaparía a algún refugio. 

9 Oh SEÑOR, destrúyelos y confunde su lenguaje; porque veo violencia y luchas en la ciudad. 

10 Aunque día y noche patrullen las murallas en contra de invasores, su verdadero problema es la maldad interna. 

11 Hay homicidio y robo por todas partes; amenazas y engaños se desbordan por sus calles. 

12 No fue un enemigo quien se mofó de mí; eso lo habría soportado yo; no fueron los que están en mi contra los que me humillaron, de ellos podría haberme ocultado y huido. 

13 Pero fuiste tú, un hombre como yo, mi compañero y amigo. 

14 Como disfrutábamos nuestra amistad mientras juntos caminábamos a la casa de Dios. 

15 Que a mis enemigos la muerte los tome por sorpresa. Que el sepulcro se los trague vivos, pues en ellos habita la maldad. 

16 Pero yo clamaré al SEÑOR, él me salvará. 

17 Oraré de mañana, al medio día y de noche, suplicándole a Dios; él escuchará. 

18 Aunque son muchos los que están en contra mía, él me rescata y me salva de la batalla que se libra contra mí. 

19 Dios, que reina para siempre, me escuchará y los humillará. Porque mis enemigos se negaron a cambiar de conducta, no tienen temor de Dios. 

20 Levantan la mano contra sus amigos y no cumplen sus compromisos. 

21 Sus palabras eran suaves como aceite, pero en su corazón había guerra. Sus palabras eran blandas como crema, pero ocultaban puñales. 

22 Lleva tus cargas al SEÑOR, él te sostendrá. No permitirá que el santo resbale o caiga. 

23 Enviará a los malos al abismo de destrucción. Los homicidas y los mentirosos no vivirán la mitad de sus días. Pero yo confío en que tú me salvarás.

Salmo 55

English Standard Version

de Crossway

Cast Your Burden on the Lord

1 To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not yourself from my plea for mercy! (Sal 4:1; Sal 54:2; Sal 61:1; Sal 86:6) 

2 Attend to me, and answer me; I am restless in my complaint and I moan, (Sal 55:17; Sal 64:1; Is 38:14; Is 59:11) 

3 because of the noise of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they drop trouble upon me, and in anger they bear a grudge against me. (2 S 16:7) 

4 My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen upon me. (Sal 116:3) 

5 Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me. (Job 21:6; Sal 78:53; Is 21:4; Ez 7:18) 

6 And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest; 

7 yes, I would wander far away; I would lodge in the wilderness; (Jer 9:2) 

8 I would hurry to find a shelter from the raging wind and tempest.” (Sal 83:15) 

9 Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongues; for I see violence and strife in the city. (Gn 11:9; Jer 6:7) 

10 Day and night they go around it on its walls, and iniquity and trouble are within it; (Sal 5:9) 

11 ruin is in its midst; oppression and fraud do not depart from its marketplace. (Sal 10:7) 

12 For it is not an enemy who taunts me— then I could bear it; it is not an adversary who deals insolently with me— then I could hide from him. (Job 19:5) 

13 But it is you, a man, my equal, my companion, my familiar friend. (2 S 15:12; 2 S 16:23; Sal 41:9) 

14 We used to take sweet counsel together; within God’s house we walked in the throng. (Sal 42:4) 

15 Let death steal over them; let them go down to Sheol alive; for evil is in their dwelling place and in their heart. (Nm 16:30; Nm 16:33; Sal 124:3; Pr 1:12) 

16 But I call to God, and the Lord will save me. 

17 Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and he hears my voice. (Sal 5:3; Sal 55:2; Sal 88:13; Sal 92:2; Sal 141:2; Dn 6:10; Hch 3:1; Hch 10:3; Hch 10:9; Hch 10:30) 

18 He redeems my soul in safety from the battle that I wage, for many are arrayed against me. (Sal 56:2) 

19 God will give ear and humble them, he who is enthroned from of old, because they do not change and do not fear God. (Dt 33:27; Job 10:17; Job 21:7) 

20 My companion stretched out his hand against his friends; he violated his covenant. (Hch 12:1) 

21 His speech was smooth as butter, yet war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords. (Sal 28:3; Sal 57:4; Pr 5:3) 

22 Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. (Sal 10:6; Sal 37:5) 

23 But you, O God, will cast them down into the pit of destruction; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in you. (Job 15:32; Sal 5:6; Sal 11:1; Sal 55:15; Sal 56:7; Sal 59:11; Sal 69:15; Sal 94:13; Pr 10:27)
