1I love you, 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.
2The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my 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.
3I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.
3Invocaré á Jehová, digno de ser alabado, y seré salvo de mis enemigos.
4The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
4Cercáronme dolores de muerte, y torrentes de perversidad me atemorizaron.
5The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death came on me.
5Dolores del sepulcro me rodearon, previniéronme lazos de muerte.
6In my distress I called on the LORD, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into 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.
7Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
7Y la tierra fué conmovida y tembló; y moviéronse los fundamentos de los montes, y se estremecieron, porque se indignó él.
8Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
8Humo subió de su nariz, y de su boca consumidor fuego; carbones fueron por él encendidos.
9He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
9Y bajó los cielos, y descendió; y oscuridad debajo de sus pies.
10He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
10Y cabalgó sobre un querubín, y voló: voló sobre las alas del viento.
11He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around 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.
12At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
12Por el resplandor delante de él, sus nubes pasaron; granizo y carbones ardientes.
13The LORD also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.
13Y tronó en los cielos Jehová, y el Altísimo dió su voz; granizo y carbones de fuego.
14He sent out his arrows, and scattered them. He routed them with great lightning bolts.
14Y envió sus saetas, y desbaratólos; y echó relámpagos, y los destruyó.
15Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of the breath of your 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.
16He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
16Envió desde lo alto; tomóme, sacóme de las muchas aguas.
17He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who 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.
18They came on me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.
18Asaltáronme en el día de mi quebranto: mas Jehová fué mi apoyo.
19He brought me out also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
19Y sacóme á anchura: libróme, porque se agradó de mí.
20The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands, he has recompensed me.
20Hame pagado Jehová conforme á mi justicia: conforme á la limpieza de mis manos me ha vuelto.
21For 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.
22For all his ordinances were before me. I didn’t put away his statutes from me.
22Pues todos sus juicios estuvieron delante de mí, y no eché de mí sus estatutos.
23I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
23Y fuí íntegro para con él, y cauteléme de mi maldad.
24Therefore the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
24Pagóme pues Jehová conforme á mi justicia; conforme á la limpieza de mis manos delante de sus ojos.
25With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.
25Con el misericordioso te mostrarás misericordioso, y recto para con el hombre íntegro.
26With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
26Limpio te mostrarás para con el limpio, y severo serás para con el perverso.
27For you will save the afflicted people, but the arrogant eyes you will bring down.
27Y tú salvarás al pueblo humilde, y humillarás los ojos altivos.
28For you will light my lamp, LORD. My God will light up my darkness.
28Tú pues alumbrarás mi lámpara: Jehová mi Dios alumbrará mis tinieblas.
29For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
29Porque contigo desharé ejércitos; y con mi Dios asaltaré muros.
30As for God, his way is perfect. The LORD’s word is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
30Dios, perfecto su camino: es acendrada la palabra de Jehová: escudo es á todos los que en él esperan.
31For who is God, except the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God,
31Porque ¿qué Dios hay fuera de Jehová? ¿y qué fuerte fuera de nuestro Dios?
32the God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect?
32Dios es el que me ciñe de fuerza, é hizo perfecto mi camino;
33He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.
33Quien pone mis pies como pies de ciervas, é hízome estar sobre mis alturas;
34He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
34Quien enseña mis manos para la batalla, y será quebrado con mis brazos el arco de acero.
35You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.
35Dísteme asimismo el escudo de tu salud: y tu diestra me sustentó, y tu benignidad me ha acrecentado.
36You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
36Ensanchaste mis pasos debajo de mí, y no titubearon mis rodillas.
37I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. I won’t turn away until they are consumed.
37Perseguido he mis enemigos, y alcancélos, y no volví hasta acabarlos.
38I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.
38Helos herido, y no podrán levantarse: cayeron debajo de mis pies.
39For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
39Pues me ceñiste de fortaleza para la pelea; has agobiado mis enemigos debajo de mí.
40You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
40Y dísteme la cerviz de mis enemigos, y destruí á los que me aborrecían.
41They cried, but there was no one to save; even to the LORD, but he didn’t answer them.
41Clamaron, y no hubo quien salvase: aun á Jehová, mas no los oyó.
42Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.
42Y molílos como polvo delante del viento; esparcílos como lodo de las calles.
43You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
43Librásteme de contiendas de pueblo: pusísteme por cabecera de gentes: pueblo que yo no conocía, me sirvió.
44As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.
44Así que hubo oído, me obedeció; los hijos de extraños me mintieron;
45The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their strongholds.
45Los extraños flaquearon, y tuvieron miedo desde sus encerramientos.
46The LORD lives! Blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
46Viva Jehová, y sea bendita mi roca; y ensalzado sea el Dios de mi salud:
47even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
47El Dios que me da las venganzas, y sujetó pueblos á mí.
48He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
48Mi libertador de mis enemigos: hicísteme también superior de mis adversarios; librásteme de varón violento.
49Therefore I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
49Por tanto yo te confesaré entre las gentes, oh Jehová, y cantaré á tu nombre.
50He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.
50El cual engrandece las saludes de su rey, y hace misericordia á su ungido, á David y á su simiente, para siempre.
