1.Te amo, oh Jehová, fortaleza mía.For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of Jehovah, who spake unto Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: and he said, I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
2.Jehová, roca mía y castillo mío, y mi libertador; Dios mío, fortaleza mía, en él confiaré; Mi escudo, y la fuerza de mi salvación, mi alto refugio.Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
3.Invocaré a Jehová, quien es digno de ser alabado, Y seré salvo de mis enemigos.I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4.Me rodearon ligaduras de muerte, Y torrentes de perversidad me atemorizaron.The cords of death compassed me, And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
5.Ligaduras del Seol me rodearon, Me tendieron lazos de muerte.The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came upon me.
6.En mi angustia invoqué a Jehová, Y clamé a mi Dios. El oyó mi voz desde su templo, Y mi clamor llegó delante de él, a sus oídos.In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And cried unto my God: He heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry before him came into his ears.
7.La tierra fue conmovida y tembló; Se conmovieron los cimientos de los montes, Y se estremecieron, porque se indignó él.Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations also of the mountains quaked And were shaken, because he was wroth.
8.Humo subió de su nariz, Y de su boca fuego consumidor; Carbones fueron por él encendidos.There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals were kindled by it.
9.Inclinó los cielos, y descendió; Y había densas tinieblas debajo de sus pies.He bowed the heavens also, and came down; And thick darkness was under his feet.
10.Cabalgó sobre un querubín, y voló; Voló sobre las alas del viento.And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; Yea, he soared upon the wings of the wind.
11.Puso tinieblas por su escondedero, por cortina suya alrededor de sí; Oscuridad de aguas, nubes de los cielos.He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion round about him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12.Por el resplandor de su presencia, sus nubes pasaron; Granizo y carbones ardientes.At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, Hailstones and coals of fire.
13.Tronó en los cielos Jehová, Y el Altísimo dio su voz; Granizo y carbones de fuego.Jehovah also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered his voice, Hailstones and coals of fire.
14.Envió sus saetas, y los dispersó; Lanzó relámpagos, y los destruyó.And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.
15.Entonces aparecieron los abismos de las aguas, Y quedaron al descubierto los cimientos del mundo, A tu reprensión, oh Jehová, Por el soplo del aliento de tu nariz.Then the channels of waters appeared, And the foundations of the world were laid bare, At thy rebuke, O Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16.Envió desde lo alto; me tomó, Me sacó de las muchas aguas.He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters.
17.Me libró de mi poderoso enemigo, Y de los que me aborrecían; pues eran más fuertes que yo.He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from them that hated me; For they were too mighty for me.
18.Me asaltaron en el día de mi quebranto, Mas Jehová fue mi apoyo.They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.
19.Me sacó a lugar espacioso; Me libró, porque se agradó de mí.He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20.Jehová me ha premiado conforme a mi justicia; Conforme a la limpieza de mis manos me ha recompensado.Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21.Porque yo he guardado los caminos de Jehová, Y no me aparté impíamente de mi Dios.For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
22.Pues todos sus juicios estuvieron delante de mí, Y no me he apartado de sus estatutos.For all his ordinances were before me, And I put not away his statutes from me.
23.Fui recto para con él, y me he guardado de mi maldad,I was also perfect with him, And I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24.Por lo cual me ha recompensado Jehová conforme a mi justicia; Conforme a la limpieza de mis manos delante de su vista.Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25.Con el misericordioso te mostrarás misericordioso, Y recto para con el hombre íntegro.With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;
26.Limpio te mostrarás para con el limpio, Y severo serás para con el perverso.With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.
27.Porque tú salvarás al pueblo afligido, Y humillarás los ojos altivos.For thou wilt save the afflicted people; But the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.
28.Tú encenderás mi lámpara; Jehová mi Dios alumbrará mis tinieblas.For thou wilt light my lamp: Jehovah my God will lighten my darkness.
29.Contigo desbarataré ejércitos, Y con mi Dios asaltaré muros.For by thee I run upon a troop; And by my God do I leap over a wall.
30.En cuanto a Dios, perfecto es su camino, Y acrisolada la palabra de Jehová; Escudo es a todos los que en él esperan.As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Jehovah is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.
31.Porque ¿quién es Dios sino sólo Jehová? ¿Y qué roca hay fuera de nuestro Dios?For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, besides our God,
32.Dios es el que me ciñe de poder, Y quien hace perfecto mi camino;The God that girdeth me with strength, And maketh my way perfect?
33.Quien hace mis pies como de ciervas, Y me hace estar firme sobre mis alturas;He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: And setteth me upon my high places.
34.Quien adiestra mis manos para la batalla, Para entesar con mis brazos el arco de bronce.He teacheth my hands to war; So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
35.Me diste asimismo el escudo de tu salvación; Tu diestra me sustentó, Y tu benignidad me ha engrandecido.Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation; And thy right hand hath holden me up, And thy gentleness hath made me great.
36.Ensanchaste mis pasos debajo de mí, Y mis pies no han resbalado.Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, And my feet have not slipped.
37.Perseguí a mis enemigos, y los alcancé, Y no volví hasta acabarlos.I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; Neither will I turn again till they are consumed.
38.Los herí de modo que no se levantasen; Cayeron debajo de mis pies.I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise: They shall fall under my feet.
39.Pues me ceñiste de fuerzas para la pelea; Has humillado a mis enemigos debajo de mí.For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40.Has hecho que mis enemigos me vuelvan las espaldas, Para que yo destruya a los que me aborrecen.Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me.
41.Clamaron, y no hubo quien salvase; Aun a Jehová, pero no los oyó.They cried, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.
42.Y los molí como polvo delante del viento; Los eché fuera como lodo de las calles.Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
43.Me has librado de las contiendas del pueblo; Me has hecho cabeza de las naciones; Pueblo que yo no conocía me sirvió.Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; Thou hast made me the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44.Al oír de mí me obedecieron; Los hijos de extraños se sometieron a mí.As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me; The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me.
45.Los extraños se debilitaron Y salieron temblando de sus encierros.The foreigners shall fade away, And shall come trembling out of their close places.
46.Viva Jehová, y bendita sea mi roca, Y enaltecido sea el Dios de mi salvación;Jehovah liveth; And blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God of my salvation,
47.El Dios que venga mis agravios, Y somete pueblos debajo de mí;Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, And subdueth peoples under me.
48.El que me libra de mis enemigos, Y aun me eleva sobre los que se levantan contra mí; Me libraste de varón violento.He rescueth me from mine enemies; Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
49.Por tanto yo te confesaré entre las naciones, oh Jehová, Y cantaré a tu nombre.Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing praises unto thy name.
50.Grandes triunfos da a su rey, Y hace misericordia a su ungido, A David y a su descendencia, para siempre.Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, for evermore.
