1 T en misericordia de mí, oh Dios, porque me devoraría el hombre; Me oprime combatiéndome cada día.

Be merciful and gracious to me, O God, for man would trample me or devour me; all the day long the adversary oppresses me.

2 T odo el día mis enemigos me pisotean; Porque muchos son los que pelean contra mí con soberbia.

They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up or trample me all day long, for they are many who fight against me, O Most High!

3 E n el día que temo, Yo en ti confío.

What time I am afraid, I will have confidence in and put my trust and reliance in You.

4 E n Dios alabaré su palabra; En Dios he confiado; no temeré; ¿Qué puede hacerme el hombre?

By God I will praise His word; on God I lean, rely, and confidently put my trust; I will not fear. What can man, who is flesh, do to me?

5 T odos los días ellos pervierten mi causa; Contra mí son todos sus pensamientos para mal.

All day long they twist my words and trouble my affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil and my hurt.

6 S e reúnen, se esconden, Miran atentamente mis pasos, Como quienes acechan a mi alma.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they watch my steps, even as they have waited for my life.

7 P ésalos según su iniquidad, oh Dios, Y derriba en tu furor a los pueblos.

They think to escape with iniquity, and shall they? In Your indignation bring down the peoples, O God.

8 M is huidas tú has contado; Pon mis lágrimas en tu redoma; ¿No están ellas en tu libro?

You number and record my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle—are they not in Your book?

9 S erán luego vueltos atrás mis enemigos, el día en que yo clamare; Esto sé, que Dios está por mí.

Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I cry out; this I know, for God is for me.

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

In God, Whose word I praise, in the Lord, Whose word I praise,

11 E n Dios he confiado; no temeré; ¿Qué puede hacerme el hombre?

In God have I put my trust and confident reliance; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

12 S obre mí, oh Dios, están tus votos; Te tributaré alabanzas.

Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render praise to You and give You thank offerings.

13 P orque has librado mi alma de la muerte, Y mis pies de caída, Para que ande delante de Dios En la luz de los que viven. Plegaria pidiendo ser librado de los perseguidores (Sal. 108. 1-5) Al músico principal; sobre No destruyas. Mictam de David, cuando huyó de delante de Saúl a la cueva.

For You have delivered my life from death, yes, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life and of the living.
