Reina-Valera 1909
1(18-1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul; (18-2) And he said: I love thee, O LORD, my strength.
1Al Músico principal: Salmo de David, siervo de Jehová, el cual profirió á Jehová las palabras de este cántico el día que le libró Jehová de mano de todos sus enemigos, y de mano de Saúl. Entonces dijo: AMARTE he, oh Jehová, fortaleza mía.
2(18-3) The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower.
2Jehová, roca mía y castillo mío, y mi libertador; Dios mío, fuerte mío, en él confiaré; escudo mío, y el cuerno de mi salud, mi refugio.
3(18-4) Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.
3Invocaré á Jehová, digno de ser alabado, y seré salvo de mis enemigos.
4(18-5) The cords of Death compassed me, and the floods of Belial assailed me.
4Cercáronme dolores de muerte, y torrentes de perversidad me atemorizaron.
5(18-6) The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of Death confronted me.
5Dolores del sepulcro me rodearon, previniéronme lazos de muerte.
6(18-7) In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God; out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry came before Him unto His ears.
6En mi angustia invoqué á Jehová, y clamé á mi Dios: él oyó mi voz desde su templo, y mi clamor llegó delante de él, á sus oídos.
7(18-8) Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations also of the mountains did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.
7Y la tierra fué conmovida y tembló; y moviéronse los fundamentos de los montes, y se estremecieron, porque se indignó él.
8(18-9) Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.
8Humo subió de su nariz, y de su boca consumidor fuego; carbones fueron por él encendidos.
9(18-10) He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.
9Y bajó los cielos, y descendió; y oscuridad debajo de sus pies.
10(18-11) And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He did swoop down upon the wings of the wind.
10Y cabalgó sobre un querubín, y voló: voló sobre las alas del viento.
11(18-12) He made darkness His hiding-place, His pavilion round about Him; darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
11Puso tinieblas por escondedero suyo, su pabellón en derredor de sí; oscuridad de aguas, nubes de los cielos.
12(18-13) At the brightness before Him, there passed through His thick clouds hailstones and coals of fire.
12Por el resplandor delante de él, sus nubes pasaron; granizo y carbones ardientes.
13(18-14) The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High gave forth His voice; hailstones and coals of fire.
13Y tronó en los cielos Jehová, y el Altísimo dió su voz; granizo y carbones de fuego.
14(18-15) And He sent out His arrows, and scattered them; and He shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
14Y envió sus saetas, y desbaratólos; y echó relámpagos, y los destruyó.
15(18-16) And the channels of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid bare, at Thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Thy nostrils.
15Y aparecieron las honduras de las aguas, y descubriéronse los cimientos del mundo, á tu reprensión, oh Jehová, por el soplo del viento de tu nariz.
16(18-17) He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.
16Envió desde lo alto; tomóme, sacóme de las muchas aguas.
17(18-18) He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, and from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
17Libróme de mi poderoso enemigo, y de los que me aborrecían, aunque eran ellos más fuertes que yo.
18(18-19) They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.
18Asaltáronme en el día de mi quebranto: mas Jehová fué mi apoyo.
19(18-20) He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.
19Y sacóme á anchura: libróme, porque se agradó de mí.
20(18-21) The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
20Hame pagado Jehová conforme á mi justicia: conforme á la limpieza de mis manos me ha vuelto.
21(18-22) For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
21Porque yo he guardado los caminos de Jehová, y no me aparté impíamente de mi Dios.
22(18-23) For all His ordinances were before me, and I put not away His statutes from me.
22Pues todos sus juicios estuvieron delante de mí, y no eché de mí sus estatutos.
23(18-24) And I was single-hearted with Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
23Y fuí íntegro para con él, y cauteléme de mi maldad.
24(18-25) Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.
24Pagóme pues Jehová conforme á mi justicia; conforme á la limpieza de mis manos delante de sus ojos.
25(18-26) With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright;
25Con el misericordioso te mostrarás misericordioso, y recto para con el hombre íntegro.
26(18-27) With the pure Thou dost show Thyself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
26Limpio te mostrarás para con el limpio, y severo serás para con el perverso.
27(18-28) For Thou dost save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes Thou dost humble.
27Y tú salvarás al pueblo humilde, y humillarás los ojos altivos.
28(18-29) For Thou dost light my lamp; the LORD my God doth lighten my darkness.
28Tú pues alumbrarás mi lámpara: Jehová mi Dios alumbrará mis tinieblas.
29(18-30) For by Thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I scale a wall.
29Porque contigo desharé ejércitos; y con mi Dios asaltaré muros.
30(18-31) As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.
30Dios, perfecto su camino: es acendrada la palabra de Jehová: escudo es á todos los que en él esperan.
31(18-32) For who is God, save the LORD? And who is a Rock, except our God?
31Porque ¿qué Dios hay fuera de Jehová? ¿y qué fuerte fuera de nuestro Dios?
32(18-33) The God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way straight;
32Dios es el que me ciñe de fuerza, é hizo perfecto mi camino;
33(18-34) Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;
33Quien pone mis pies como pies de ciervas, é hízome estar sobre mis alturas;
34(18-35) Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
34Quien enseña mis manos para la batalla, y será quebrado con mis brazos el arco de acero.
35(18-36) Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation, and Thy right hand hath holden me up; and Thy condescension hath made me great.
35Dísteme asimismo el escudo de tu salud: y tu diestra me sustentó, y tu benignidad me ha acrecentado.
36(18-37) Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
36Ensanchaste mis pasos debajo de mí, y no titubearon mis rodillas.
37(18-38) I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.
37Perseguido he mis enemigos, y alcancélos, y no volví hasta acabarlos.
38(18-39) I have smitten them through, so that they are not able to rise; they are fallen under my feet.
38Helos herido, y no podrán levantarse: cayeron debajo de mis pies.
39(18-40) For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
39Pues me ceñiste de fortaleza para la pelea; has agobiado mis enemigos debajo de mí.
40(18-41) Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, and I did cut off them that hate me.
40Y dísteme la cerviz de mis enemigos, y destruí á los que me aborrecían.
41(18-42) They cried, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.
41Clamaron, y no hubo quien salvase: aun á Jehová, mas no los oyó.
42(18-43) Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
42Y molílos como polvo delante del viento; esparcílos como lodo de las calles.
43(18-44) Thou hast delivered me from the contentions of the people; Thou hast made me the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known serve me.
43Librásteme de contiendas de pueblo: pusísteme por cabecera de gentes: pueblo que yo no conocía, me sirvió.
44(18-45) As soon as they hear of me, they obey me; the sons of the stranger dwindle away before me.
44Así que hubo oído, me obedeció; los hijos de extraños me mintieron;
45(18-46) The sons of the stranger fade away, and come trembling out of their close places.
45Los extraños flaquearon, y tuvieron miedo desde sus encerramientos.
46(18-47) The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation;
46Viva Jehová, y sea bendita mi roca; y ensalzado sea el Dios de mi salud:
47(18-48) Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and subdueth peoples under me.
47El Dios que me da las venganzas, y sujetó pueblos á mí.
48(18-49) He delivereth me from mine enemies; yea, Thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
48Mi libertador de mis enemigos: hicísteme también superior de mis adversarios; librásteme de varón violento.
49(18-50) Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.
49Por tanto yo te confesaré entre las gentes, oh Jehová, y cantaré á tu nombre.
50(18-51) Great salvation giveth He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
50El cual engrandece las saludes de su rey, y hace misericordia á su ungido, á David y á su simiente, para siempre.
