2 Samuel 22
1 And David spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul;
Cantó David a Yahvé las palabras de este cántico, cuando Yahvé lo hubo librado de todos sus enemigos, y de la mano de Saúl.
2 and he said: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
Dijo: “Yahvé es mi Roca, mi fortaleza y mi libertador;
3 The God who is my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; my saviour, Thou savest me from violence.
Dios es mi Roca, a Él me acojo; Él es mi escudo y el cuerno de mi salvación, mi alto amparo, mi asilo. ¡Salvador mío! Tú me libraste de la violencia.
4 Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.
Clamé alabándole, a Yahvé, y quedé salvo de mis enemigos.
5 For the waves of Death compassed me. The floods of Belial assailed me.
Ya me cercaban las ondas de la muerte, me aterraban torrentes perniciosos;
ya me rodeaban las sogas del scheol, y me amenazaban los lazos de la muerte; (Sheol h7585)
7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, yea, I called unto my God; and out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry did enter into His ears.
cuando en mi angustia clamé a Yahvé, invoqué a mi Dios; y Él desde su templo oyó mi voz, y mi clamor llegó a sus oídos.
8 Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations of heaven did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.
Se conmovió y tembló la tierra, vacilaron los cimientos de los cielos, temblaron, porque se inflamó su ira.
9 Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.
Subía humo de sus narices, y fuego devorador de su boca; ascuas encendidas salían de Él.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.
E inclinó los cielos y descendió, teniendo espesa nube bajo sus pies.
11 And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He was seen upon the wings of the wind.
Subió sobre un querubín y voló, apareció sobre las alas del viento.
12 And He made darkness pavilions round about Him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Puso en torno suyo tinieblas por velo, masas de aguas, densos nubarrones.
13 At the brightness before Him coals of fire flamed forth.
Al fulgor que le precedía se encendieron ascuas de fuego.
14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High gave forth His voice.
Tronó Yahvé desde el cielo, el Altísimo hizo resonar su voz.
15 And He sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
Disparó saetas y los dispersó, rayos, y los consternó.
16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
Entonces apareció el fondo del mar se descubrieron los cimientos del orbe ante la voz increpadora de Yahvé, ante el resuello del furor de su ira.
17 He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters;
Extendió su mano desde lo alto, me tomó y me sacó de grandes aguas.
18 He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
Me libró de mi feroz enemigo, de los que me aborrecían, porque eran más fuertes que yo.
19 They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.
Me habían sorprendido en el día de mi calamidad; pero Yahvé fue mi sostén.
20 He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.
Me sacó fuera, a un lugar ancho, salvándome porque me amaba.
21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
Yahvé me ha recompensado según merecía mi justicia; según la inocencia de mis manos me dio el pago;
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
pues he guardado los caminos de Yahvé, no me he apartado impíamente de mi Dios.
23 For all His ordinances were before me; and as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.
Tenía ante mis ojos todos sus preceptos, y no me apartaba de sus mandamientos.
24 And I was single-hearted toward Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
Sin reproche anduve en su presencia, me guardé de hacer iniquidad.
25 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His eyes.
Yahvé me ha retribuido conforme a mi justicia, según mi inocencia ante sus ojos.
26 With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright,
Con el piadoso Tú te portas piadoso, con el nombre recto, rectamente;
27 With the pure Thou dost show myself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
Tú eres limpio con el limpio, y al perverso lo tratas como tal.
28 And the afflicted people Thou dost save; but Thine eyes are upon the haughty, that Thou mayest humble them.
Tú salvas al pueblo humilde, y con tu mirada abates a los altivos.
29 For Thou art my lamp, O LORD; and the LORD doth lighten my darkness.
Tú, Yahvé, eres mi antorcha; Yahvé ilumina mis tinieblas.
30 For by Thee I run upon a troop; by my God do I scale a wall.
Contigo me arrojo sobre ejércitos, con mi Dios salto murallas.
31 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.
El camino de Dios es perfecto, y acrisolada la palabra de Yahvé; Él es un escudo para cuantos en Él confían.
32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a Rock, save our God?
Pues ¿quién es Dios sino solo Yahvé? ¿Quién es Roca fuera de nuestro Dios?
33 The God who is my strong fortress, and who letteth my way go forth straight;
Mi fortaleza inexpugnable es Dios, quien hace perfecto mi camino.
34 Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;
Me dio pies ligeros cual de ciervo y me colocó sobre las alturas;
35 Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
adiestró mis manos para la guerra, y mis brazos doblan el arco de bronce.
36 Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation; and Thy condescension hath made me great.
Me diste el escudo de tu salvación, y tu benignidad me ha hecho grande.
37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
Ensanchaste el camino bajo mis pies, para que no resbalasen.
38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.
Así perseguí a mis enemigos hasta destruirlos, y no me volví hasta acabar con ellos.
39 And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, that they cannot arise; yea, they are fallen under my feet.
Sí, acabé con ellos y los aplasté, de modo que no pueden ya levantarse; han caído debajo de mis pies.
40 For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Me ceñiste de fortaleza para luchar, sometiste mis enemigos a mi poder,
41 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me; yea, them that hate me, that I might cut them off.
pusiste en fuga a mis contrarios; y así destrocé a los que me odiaban.
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.
Miraban en derredor, mas no hubo quien los salvase, (clamaban) a Yahvé, pero no los oía;
43 Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the streets, and did tread them down.
triturábalos como polvo de la tierra; cual barro de las calles los aplastaba y los hollaba.
44 Thou also hast delivered me from the contentions of my people; Thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known serve me.
Me libraste también de los revoltosos de mi pueblo, para jefe de naciones me elegiste. Pueblos que no conocía me sirven.
45 The sons of the stranger dwindle away before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
Hombres extranjeros me dicen lisonjas, apenas oyen de mí, me obedecen.
46 The sons of the stranger fade away, and come halting out of their close places.
Los extranjeros palidecen y temblando salen de sus refugios.
47 The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God, my Rock of salvation;
¡Viva Yahvé, y bendita sea mi Roca! Ensalzado sea Dios, la Roca de mi salvación,
48 Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and bringeth down peoples under me,
el Dios que me otorga venganza, y somete los pueblos a mis pies;
49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies; yea, Thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
el que me salva de mis enemigos. Pues Tú me ensalzas sobre los que se levantan contra mí; me libras del hombre violento.
50 Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.
Por eso, te alabaré entre las naciones, y cantaré loores a tu nombre, Yahvé.
51 A tower of salvation is He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
Él salva maravillosamente a su rey, y usa de misericordia con su ungido David y su descendencia para siempre.”
