Salmos 56
Bible in Basic English
1Have mercy on me, O God, for man is attempting my destruction; every day he makes cruel attacks against me.
2My haters are ever ready to put an end to me; great numbers are lifting themselves up against me.
3In the time of my fear, I will have faith in you.
4In 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.
5Every day they make wrong use of my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6They come together, they are waiting in secret places, they take note of my steps, they are waiting for my soul.
7By evil-doing they will not get free from punishment. In wrath, O God, let the peoples be made low.
8You have seen my wanderings; put the drops from my eyes into your bottle; are they not in your record?
9When I send up my cry to you, my haters will be turned back; I am certain of this, for God is with me.
10In God will I give praise to his word; in the Lord will I give praise to his word.
11In God have I put my hope, I will have no fear of what man may do to me.
12I keep the memory of my debt to you, O God; I will give you the offerings of praise.
13Because 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.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Al 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.
2Apúranme mis enemigos cada día; porque muchos son los que pelean contra mí, oh Altísimo.
3En el día que temo, yo en ti confío.
4En Dios alabaré su palabra: en Dios he confiado, no temeré lo que la carne me hiciere.
5Todos los días me contristan mis negocios; contra mí son todos sus pensamientos para mal.
6Reúnense, escóndense, miran ellos atentamente mis pasos, esperando mi vida.
7¿Escaparán ellos por la iniquidad? Oh Dios, derriba en tu furor los pueblos.
8Mis huídas has tú contado: pon mis lágrimas en tu redoma: ¿no están ellas en tu libro?
9Serán luego vueltos atrás mis enemigos el día que yo clamare: en esto conozco que Dios es por mí.
10En Dios alabaré su palabra; en Jehová alabaré su palabra.
11En Dios he confiado: no temeré lo que me hará el hombre.
12Sobre mí, oh Dios, están tus votos: te tributaré alabanzas.
13Porque 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.
King James Version
1Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
8Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
9When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
10In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.
11In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
13For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
