Salmo de David

1 David entonó este cántico al SEÑOR después que fue librado de Saúl y de todos sus enemigos: 2 «El SEÑOR es mi roca, mi fortaleza y mi salvador. 3 Mi Dios, la roca en quien me refugio. Mi escudo y mi salvación, mi asilo y mi amparo. ¡Él me libró de los violentos! 4 Invocaré al SEÑOR, que es digno de ser alabado. Él me salvará de todos mis enemigos. 5 »Las ondas de muerte me rodeaban; torrentes del mal querían arrasarme; 6 me sentía atrapado y atado por el infierno y la muerte. 7 Pero en mi angustia invoqué al SEÑOR, y él me oyó desde su templo. ¡Mi clamor llegó a sus oídos! 8 »Entonces la tierra se estremeció y tembló. Los cimientos del cielo se estremecieron a causa de su ira. 9 Humo salió de su nariz; su boca vomitó fuego consumidor; ¡arrojaba carbones encendidos! 10 »Él inclinó el cielo y descendió a la tierra; caminó sobre nubes oscuras. 11 Se montó sobre un querubín y cruzó el cielo, voló sobre las alas del viento. 12 Puso alrededor suyo tinieblas por velo, y densas nubes lo rodearon. 13 Carbones encendidos brotaron de su resplandor. 14 El SEÑOR tronó desde los cielos; desde el cielo se escuchó la voz del Dios Altísimo. 15 Arrojó flechas y relámpagos y derrotó a todos mis enemigos. 16 Por el soplo de su aliento se partió el mar en dos, y se pudo ver el fondo del mar. 17 »Desde las alturas me rescató; me sacó de en medio de las aguas; 18 me salvó de enemigos poderosos, de todos los que me odiaban, y de los que eran demasiado fuertes para mí. 19 Cayeron sobre mí en el día de mi desgracia, pero el SEÑOR fue mi apoyo y mi salvación. 20 Él me libró y me rescató, porque me ama. 21 »El SEÑOR me recompensó por mi justicia, me pagó conforme a la pureza de mis manos. 22 Yo he vivido en la voluntad del SEÑOR, y nunca me he apartado de mi Dios, 23 porque he tenido presentes sus leyes, y las he obedecido. 24 He sido íntegro delante de él, y me he cuidado de pecar. 25 El SEÑOR me ha recompensado, porque he sido justo, porque he vivido rectamente. 26 »Con el misericordioso eres misericordioso, con el intachable eres intachable. 27 Con el que es sincero, tú eres sincero, pero con el que es tramposo tú eres inflexible. 28 Salvas a los que están en angustia, pero humillas a los que se enaltecen, porque tú observas sus pasos. 29 SEÑOR, tú eres mi luz; tú haces que mis tinieblas resplandezcan. 30 Por tu poder yo puedo aplastar a un ejército; por tu fortaleza puedo escalar murallas. 31 »El camino de Dios es perfecto; la palabra del SEÑOR es refinada. Es escudo para todos los que se refugian en él. 32 ¿Qué Dios hay fuera de nuestro SEÑOR? ¡Él es el único que puede protegernos, pues es una sólida roca! 33 Dios es mi poderosa fortaleza; él me ha dado seguridad. 34 Él hace que el bueno camine con firmeza, como las cabras monteses sobre las rocas. 35 Él me prepara para la batalla, y me fortalece para usar las armas de guerra. 36 Tú me has dado el escudo de tu salvación; y tu bondad me hace prosperar. 37 Me despejas el camino, para que mis pies no resbalen. 38 »He perseguido a mis enemigos y los he destruido; no me detuve hasta aniquilarlos. 39 Los destruí a todos para que ninguno pueda levantarse nuevamente. ¡Han caído todos bajo mis pies! 40 Porque tú me has dado fuerzas para la batalla, y has hecho que someta a todos los que se levantaron contra mí. 41 Tú has hecho que mis enemigos retrocedan y huyan; he acabado con todos los que me odiaban. 42 Clamaron por ayuda, pero nadie los socorrió; clamaron al SEÑOR, pero él se negó a responderles. 43 Los derroté hasta hacerlos polvo, y los molí y esparcí como polvo de las calles. 44 »Tú me has salvado de los rebeldes de mi pueblo; me has preservado como cabeza de las naciones. 45 Pueblos extranjeros me sirven, y me halagan cuando oyen de mi poder. 46 Pierden todo su valor, y salen temblando de sus escondites. 47 ¡El SEÑOR vive! ¡Bendita sea, mi roca! ¡Alabado sea él, que es la roca de mi salvación! 48 Bendito sea Dios, pues destruye a todos los que se me oponen y me libra de mis enemigos. 49 Sí, tú me levantas por encima de mis enemigos, tú me libras de su violencia. 50 Por eso, SEÑOR te daré gracias entre las naciones y cantaré alabanzas a tu nombre. 51 »El SEÑOR da una liberación maravillosa al rey, y muestra misericordia a David, su ungido, y a su descendencia para siempre».

David’s Song of Deliverance

1 And David spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. 2 He said, “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, 3 my* God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence. 4 I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. 5 “For the waves of death encompassed me, the torrents of destruction assailed me;* 6 the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. 7 “In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I called. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry came to his ears. 8 “Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations of the heavens trembled and quaked, because he was angry. 9 Smoke went up from his nostrils,* and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him. 10 He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet. 11 He rode on a cherub and flew; he was seen on the wings of the wind. 12 He made darkness around him his canopy, thick clouds, a gathering of water. 13 Out of the brightness before him coals of fire flamed forth. 14 The Lord thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice. 15 And he sent out arrows and scattered them; lightning, and routed them. 16 Then the channels of the sea were seen; the foundations of the world were laid bare, at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils. 17 “He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters. 18 He rescued me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me. 19 They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my support. 20 He brought me out into a broad place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me. 21 “The Lord dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me. 22 For I have kept the ways of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from my God. 23 For all his rules were before me, and from his statutes I did not turn aside. 24 I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from guilt. 25 And the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his sight. 26 “With the merciful you show yourself merciful; with the blameless man you show yourself blameless; 27 with the purified you deal purely, and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous. 28 You save a humble people, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down. 29 For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness. 30 For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. 31 This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. 32 “For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? 33 This God is my strong refuge and has made my* way blameless.* 34 He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights. 35 He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. 36 You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your gentleness made me great. 37 You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet* did not slip; 38 I pursued my enemies and destroyed them, and did not turn back until they were consumed. 39 I consumed them; I thrust them through, so that they did not rise; they fell under my feet. 40 For you equipped me with strength for the battle; you made those who rise against me sink under me. 41 You made my enemies turn their backs to me,* those who hated me, and I destroyed them. 42 They looked, but there was none to save; they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them. 43 I beat them fine as the dust of the earth; I crushed them and stamped them down like the mire of the streets. 44 “You delivered me from strife with my people;* you kept me as the head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me. 45 Foreigners came cringing to me; as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me. 46 Foreigners lost heart and came trembling* out of their fortresses. 47 “The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be my God, the rock of my salvation, 48 the God who gave me vengeance and brought down peoples under me, 49 who brought me out from my enemies; you exalted me above those who rose against me; you delivered me from men of violence. 50 “For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations, and sing praises to your name. 51 Great salvation he brings* to his king, and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his offspring forever.”
