Psalm 18 | Nueva Versión Internacional (Castellano)
Al director musical. De David, siervo del Señor. David dedicó al Señor la letra de esta canción cuando el Señor lo libró de Saúl y de todos sus enemigos. Dijo así:
1Tít.-50 – ¡Cuánto te amo, SEÑOR, fuerza mía!2El SEÑOR es mi roca, mi amparo, mi libertador; es mi Dios, el peñasco en que me refugio. Es mi escudo, el poder que me salva,* ¡mi más alto escondite!3Invoco al SEÑOR, que es digno de alabanza, y quedo a salvo de mis enemigos.4Los lazos de la muerte me envolvieron; los torrentes destructores me abrumaron.5Me enredaron los lazos del sepulcro, y me encontré ante las trampas de la muerte.6En mi angustia invoqué al SEÑOR; clamé a mi Dios, y él me escuchó desde su templo; ¡mi clamor llegó a sus oídos!7La tierra tembló, se estremeció; se sacudieron los cimientos de los montes; ¡retemblaron a causa de su enojo!8Por la nariz echaba humo, por la boca, fuego consumidor; ¡lanzaba carbones encendidos!9Rasgando el cielo, descendió, pisando sobre oscuros nubarrones.10Montando sobre un querubín, surcó los cielos y se remontó sobre las alas del viento.11Hizo de las tinieblas su escondite, de los oscuros y cargados nubarrones un pabellón que lo rodeaba.12De su radiante presencia brotaron nubes, granizos y carbones encendidos.13En el cielo, entre granizos y carbones encendidos, se oyó el trueno del SEÑOR, resonó la voz del Altísimo.14Lanzó sus flechas, sus grandes centellas; dispersó a mis enemigos y los puso en fuga.15A causa de tu reprensión, oh SEÑOR, y por el resoplido de tu enojo,* las cuencas del mar quedaron a la vista; ¡al descubierto quedaron los cimientos de la tierra!16Extendiendo su mano desde lo alto, tomó la mía y me sacó del mar profundo.17Me libró de mi enemigo poderoso, y de aquellos que me odiaban y eran más fuertes que yo.18En el día de mi desgracia me salieron al encuentro, pero mi apoyo fue el SEÑOR.19Me sacó a un amplio espacio; me libró porque se agradó de mí.20El SEÑOR me ha pagado conforme a mi justicia; me ha premiado conforme a la limpieza de mis manos,21pues he andado en los caminos del SEÑOR; no he cometido mal alguno ni me he apartado de mi Dios.22Presentes tengo todas sus sentencias; no me he alejado de sus decretos.23He sido íntegro con él y me he abstenido de pecar.24El SEÑOR me ha recompensado conforme a mi justicia, conforme a la limpieza de mis manos.25Tú eres fiel con quien es fiel, e irreprochable con quien es irreprochable;26sincero eres con quien es sincero, pero sagaz con el que es tramposo.27Tú das la victoria a los humildes, pero humillas a los altaneros.28Tú, SEÑOR, mantienes mi lámpara encendida; tú, Dios mío, iluminas mis tinieblas.29Con tu apoyo me lanzaré contra un ejército; contigo, Dios mío, podré asaltar murallas.30El camino de Dios es perfecto; la palabra del SEÑOR es intachable. Escudo es Dios a los que en él se refugian.31¿Quién es Dios, si no el SEÑOR? ¿Quién es la roca, si no nuestro Dios?32Es él quien me arma de valor y endereza mi camino;33da a mis pies la ligereza del venado, y me mantiene firme en las alturas;34adiestra mis manos para la batalla, y mis brazos para tensar arcos de bronce.35Tú me cubres con el escudo de tu salvación, y con tu diestra me sostienes; tu bondad me ha hecho prosperar.36Me has despejado el camino, así que mis tobillos no flaquean.37Perseguí a mis enemigos, les di alcance, y no retrocedí hasta verlos aniquilados.38Los aplasté. Ya no pudieron levantarse. ¡Cayeron debajo de mis pies!39Tú me armaste de valor para el combate; bajo mi planta sometiste a los rebeldes.40Hiciste retroceder a mis enemigos, y así exterminé a los que me odiaban.41Pedían ayuda; no hubo quien los salvara. Al SEÑOR clamaron,* pero no les respondió.42Los desmenucé. Parecían polvo disperso por el viento. ¡Los pisoteé* como al lodo de las calles!43Me has librado de una turba amotinada; me has puesto por encima de los paganos; me sirve gente que yo no conocía.44Apenas me oyen, me obedecen; son extranjeros, y me rinden homenaje.45¡Esos extraños se descorazonan, y temblando salen de sus refugios!46¡El SEÑOR vive! ¡Alabada sea mi roca! ¡Exaltado sea Dios mi Salvador!47Él es el Dios que me vindica, el que pone los pueblos a mis pies.48Tú me libras del furor de mis enemigos, me exaltas por encima de mis adversarios, me salvas de los hombres violentos.49Por eso, SEÑOR, te alabo entre las naciones y canto salmos a tu nombre.50El SEÑOR da grandes victorias a su rey; a su ungido David y a sus descendientes les muestra por siempre su gran amor.

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