Psalm 31:13

13 He oído cantidad de rumores sobre mí,
y el terror me rodea.
Mis enemigos conspiran en mi contra,
hacen planes para quitarme la vida.

Psalm 31:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 31:13

For I have heard the slander of many
Both enemies and neighbours;

fear [was] on every side;
his enemies were a "Magormissabib" to him, ( Jeremiah 20:3 ) ; encompassed him around, so that he was in fear from every quarter;

while they took counsel together against me;
how to apprehend him, and what to do with him;

they devised to take away my life;
nothing short of that would satisfy; but life is in the hand of God; men may devise, but God disappoints, and his counsel stands; hence the psalmist was encouraged, after all, to trust in him, in this time of imminent danger, as follows.

Psalm 31:13 In-Context

11 Todos mis enemigos me desprecian,
y mis vecinos me rechazan,
¡ni mis amigos se atreven a acercarse a mí!
Cuando me ven por la calle,
salen corriendo para el otro lado.

12 Me han olvidado como si estuviera muerto,
como si fuera una vasija rota.

13 He oído cantidad de rumores sobre mí,
y el terror me rodea.
Mis enemigos conspiran en mi contra,
hacen planes para quitarme la vida.

14 Pero yo confío en ti, oh Señor
,
digo: «¡Tú eres mi Dios!».

15 Mi futuro está en tus manos;
rescátame de los que me persiguen sin tregua.
