Salmos 31:1-9

1 EN ti, oh Jehová, he esperado; no sea yo confundido para siempre: Líbrame en tu justicia.

2 Inclina á mí tu oído, líbrame presto; Séme por roca de fortaleza, por casa fuerte para salvarme.

3 Porque tú eres mi roca y mi castillo; Y por tu nombre me guiarás, y me encaminarás.

4 Me sacarás de la red que han escondido para mí; Porque tú eres mi fortaleza.

5 En tu mano encomiendo mi espíritu: Tú me has redimido, oh Jehová, Dios de verdad.

6 Aborrecí á los que esperan en vanidades ilusorias; Mas yo en Jehová he esperado.

7 Me gozaré y alegraré en tu misericordia; Porque has visto mi aflicción; Has conocido mi alma en las angustias:

8 Y no me encerraste en mano del enemigo; Hiciste estar mis pies en anchura.

9 Ten misericordia de mí, oh Jehová, que estoy en angustia: Hanse consumido de pesar mis ojos, mi alma, y mis entrañas.

Salmos 31:1-9 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. This psalm, according to Arama, was composed by David when in Keilah; but, according to Kimchi and others, when the Ziphites proposed to deliver him up into the hands of Saul; and who, upon their solicitations, came down and surrounded him with his army, from whom in haste he made his escape, and to which he is thought to refer in Psalm 31:22. Theodoret supposes it was written by David when he fled from Absalom, and that it has some respect in it to his sin against Uriah, in that verse.
