Salmos 59:1-9

1 Líbrame de mis enemigos, Dios mío; ponme a salvo en lo alto, lejos de los que se levantan contra mí.

2 Líbrame de los que hacen iniquidad, y sálvame de los hombres sanguinarios.

3 Porque, he aquí, han puesto emboscada contra mi vida; hombres feroces me atacan, pero no es por mi transgresión, ni por mi pecado, SEÑOR.

4 Sin culpa mía, corren y se preparan contra mí. Despierta para ayudarme, y mira.

5 Tú, SEÑOR, Dios de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel, despierta para castigar a todas las naciones; no tengas piedad de ningún inicuo traidor. (Selah)

6 Regresan al anochecer, aúllan como perros, y rondan por la ciudad.

7 He aquí, se jactan con su boca; espadas hay en sus labios, pues dicen: ¿Quién oye?

8 Mas tú, oh SEÑOR, te ríes de ellos; te burlas de todas las naciones.

9 A causa de su fuerza esperaré en ti, porque Dios es mi baluarte.

Salmos 59:1-9 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. The history of Saul's sending messengers to watch the house of David, and to kill him when he rose in the morning, is in 1 Samuel 19:11; which was the occasion of his writing this psalm; though the title of the Syriac version of it is, "David said or composed this, when he heard that the priests were slain by Saul:" and in the same is added, "but unto us it declares the conversion of the Gentiles to the faith, and the rejection of the Jews." And which perhaps is designed in Psalm 59:5; and some interpreters are of opinion that the whole psalm is to be understood of Christ, of whom David was a type, especially in his sufferings; and there are some things in it which better agree with him than with David, as particularly his being without sin, Psalm 59:3.
