Salmos 91

1 Tú que te abrigas en el retiro del Altísimo, y descansas a la sombra del Omnipotente,

Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.

2 di a Yahvé: “¡Refugio mío y fortaleza mía, mi Dios, en quien confío!”

He shall say to the Lord, You are my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.

3 Porque Él te librará del lazo de los cazadores y de la peste mortífera.

For he shall deliver you from the snare of the hunters, from [every] troublesome matter.

4 Con sus plumas te cubrirá, y tendrás refugio bajo sus alas; su fidelidad es escudo y broquel.

He shall overshadow you with his shoulders, and you shall trust under his wings: his truth shall cover you with a shield.

5 No temerás los terrores de la noche, ni las saetas disparadas de día,

You shall not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;

6 ni la pestilencia que vaga en las tinieblas, ni el estrago que en pleno día devasta.

[nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.

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 observe and see the reward of sinners.

9 Pues dijiste a Yahvé: “Tú eres mi refugio”, hiciste del Altísimo tu defensa.

For you, O Lord, are my hope: you, my soul, have made the Most High your refuge.

10 No te llegará el mal ni plaga alguna se aproximará a tu tienda.

No evils shall come upon you, and no scourge shall draw near to 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 concerning 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 on their hands, lest at any time 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 asp and basilisk: and you shall trample on the lion and dragon.

14 “Por cuanto él se entregó a Mí, Yo lo preservaré; lo pondré en alto porque conoció mi Nombre.

For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, 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 upon me, and I will listen to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.

16 Lo saciaré de larga vida, y le haré ver mi salvación.”

I will satisfy him with length of days, and show him my salvation.
