< Salmos 91 >

1 Tú que te abrigas en el retiro del Altísimo, y descansas a la sombra del Omnipotente,
He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 di a Yahvé: “¡Refugio mío y fortaleza mía, mi Dios, en quien confío!”
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Porque Él te librará del lazo de los cazadores y de la peste mortífera.
Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 Con sus plumas te cubrirá, y tendrás refugio bajo sus alas; su fidelidad es escudo y broquel.
He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings shall you trust: his truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 No temerás los terrores de la noche, ni las saetas disparadas de día,
You shall not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day;
6 ni la pestilencia que vaga en las tinieblas, ni el estrago que en pleno día devasta.
Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 Aunque mil caigan junto a ti y diez mil a tu diestra, tú no serás alcanzado.
A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.
8 Antes bien, con tus propios ojos contemplarás, y verás la retribución de los pecadores.
Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Pues dijiste a Yahvé: “Tú eres mi refugio”, hiciste del Altísimo tu defensa.
Because you have made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, your habitation;
10 No te llegará el mal ni plaga alguna se aproximará a tu tienda.
There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
11 Pues Él te ha encomendado a sus ángeles, para que te guarden en todos tus caminos.
For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.
12 Ellos te llevarán en sus manos, no sea que lastimes tu pie contra una piedra.
They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 Caminarás sobre el áspid y el basilisco; hollarás al león y al dragón.
You shall tread on the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shall you trample under feet.
14 “Por cuanto él se entregó a Mí, Yo lo preservaré; lo pondré en alto porque conoció mi Nombre.
Because he has set his love on me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
15 Me invocará, y le escucharé; estaré con él en la tribulación, lo sacaré y lo honraré.
He shall call on me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.
16 Lo saciaré de larga vida, y le haré ver mi salvación.”
With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
