< Psalms 91 >

1 The Praise of a Canticle, of David. Whoever dwells with the assistance of the Most High will abide in the protection of the God of heaven.
EL que habita al abrigo del Altísimo, morará bajo la sombra del Omnipotente.
2 He will say to the Lord, “You are my supporter and my refuge.” My God, I will hope in him.
Diré yo á Jehová: Esperanza mía, y castillo mío; mi Dios, en él confiaré.
3 For he has freed me from the snare of those who go hunting, and from the harsh word.
Y él te librará del lazo del cazador: de la peste destruidora.
4 He will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wings.
Con sus plumas te cubrirá, y debajo de sus alas estarás seguro: escudo y adarga es su verdad.
5 His truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the night,
No tendrás temor de espanto nocturno, ni de saeta que vuele de día;
6 before the arrow flying in the day, before the troubles that wander in the darkness, nor of invasion and the midday demon.
Ni de pestilencia que ande en oscuridad, ni de mortandad que en medio del día destruya.
7 A thousand will fall before your side and ten thousand before your right hand. Yet it will not draw near you.
Caerán á tu lado mil, y diez mil á tu diestra: [mas] á ti no llegará.
8 So then, truly, you will consider with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of sinners.
Ciertamente con tus ojos mirarás, y verás la recompensa de los impíos.
9 For you, O Lord, are my hope. You have set the Most High as your refuge.
Porque tú has puesto á Jehová, [que es] mi esperanza, al Altísimo por tu habitación,
10 Disaster will not draw near to you, and the scourge will not approach your tabernacle.
No te sobrevendrá mal, ni plaga tocará tu morada.
11 For he has given his Angels charge over you, so as to preserve you in all your ways.
Pues que á sus ángeles mandará acerca de ti, que te guarden en todos tus caminos.
12 With their hands, they will carry you, lest you hurt your foot against a stone.
En las manos te llevarán, porque tu pie no tropiece en piedra.
13 You will walk over the asp and the king serpent, and you will trample the lion and the dragon.
Sobre el león y el basilisco pisarás; hollarás al cachorro del león y al dragón.
14 Because he has hoped in me, I will free him. I will protect him because he has known my name.
Por cuanto en mí ha puesto su voluntad, yo también lo libraré: pondrélo en alto, por cuanto ha conocido mi nombre.
15 He will cry out to me, and I will heed him. I am with him in tribulation. I will rescue him, and I will glorify him.
Me invocará, y yo le responderé: con él estaré yo en la angustia: lo libraré, y le glorificaré.
16 I will fill him with length of days. And I will reveal to him my salvation.
Saciarélo de larga vida, y mostraréle mi salud.
