2 Samuel 22
1 David cantó las palabras de este cántico al Señor el día en que el Señor lo salvó de todos sus enemigos y de Saúl.
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;
2 Entonces cantó: El Señor es mi roca, mi fortaleza y mi salvador.
and he said: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 Él es mi Dios, mi roca que me protege. Él me protege del mal, su poder me salva, me mantiene seguro. Él es mi protector; es mi salvador; me libra de la violencia.
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.
4 Pido ayuda al Señor, merecedor de alabanza, y me salva de los que me odian.
Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.
5 Las olas de la muerte me arrastran, las aguas de la destrucción me inundan;
For the waves of Death compassed me. The floods of Belial assailed me.
The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of Death confronted me. (Sheol h7585)
7 En mi desesperación invoqué al Señor; clamé a mi Dios. Él escuchó mi voz desde su Templo; mi grito de auxilio llegó a sus oídos.
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.
8 La tierra se estremeció, los cimientos de los cielos temblaron por su cólera
Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations of heaven did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.
9 Humo salía de sus narices, y fuego de su boca, carbones ardientes que ardían ante él.
Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.
10 Apartó los cielos y descendió, con nubes oscuras bajo sus pies.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.
11 Montado en un ser celestial voló, abalanzándose sobre las alas del viento.
And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12 Se escondió en las tinieblas, cubriéndose con negras nubes de lluvia.
And He made darkness pavilions round about Him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
13 De su resplandor brotaron carbones ardientes.
At the brightness before Him coals of fire flamed forth.
14 El Señor tronó desde el cielo; resonó la voz del Altísimo.
The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High gave forth His voice.
15 Disparó sus flechas, dispersando a sus enemigos, los derrotó con sus rayos.
And He sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16 El Señor rugió, y con el viento del aliento de su nariz se vieron los valles del mar y se descubrieron los cimientos de la tierra.
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.
17 Bajó su mano desde arriba y me agarró. Me sacó de las aguas profundas.
He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters;
18 Me rescató de mis poderosos enemigos, de los que me odiaban y eran mucho más fuertes que yo.
He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
19 Se abalanzaron sobre mí en mi peor momento, pero el Señor me sostuvo.
They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.
20 Me liberó, me rescató porque es feliz conmigo.
He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.
21 El Señor me recompensó por hacer lo correcto; me pagó porque soy inocente.
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
22 Porque he seguido los caminos del Señor; no he pecado apartándome de mi Dios.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 He tenido presente todas sus leyes; no he ignorado sus mandamientos.
For all His ordinances were before me; and as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 Soy irreprochable a sus ojos; me guardo de pecar.
And I was single-hearted toward Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
25 El Señor me ha recompensado por hacer lo justo. Soy inocente ante sus ojos.
Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His eyes.
26 Demuestras tu fidelidad a los que son fieles; demuestras integridad a los que son íntegros,
With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright,
27 Te muestras puro a los que son puros, pero te muestras astuto con los astutos.
With the pure Thou dost show myself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
28 Tú salvas a los humildes, pero tus ojos vigilan a los soberbios para abatirlos.
And the afflicted people Thou dost save; but Thine eyes are upon the haughty, that Thou mayest humble them.
29 Tú, Señor, eres mi lámpara. El Señor ilumina mis tinieblas.
For Thou art my lamp, O LORD; and the LORD doth lighten my darkness.
30 Contigo puedo abatir una tropa de soldados; contigo, Dios mío, puedo escalar un muro de la fortaleza.
For by Thee I run upon a troop; by my God do I scale a wall.
31 El camino de Dios es absolutamente correcto. La palabra del Señor es digna de confianza. Es un escudo para todos los que acuden a él en busca de protección.
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.
32 Porque ¿quién es Dios sino el Señor? ¿Quién es la Roca, sino nuestro Dios?
For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a Rock, save our God?
33 Dios me hace fuerte y me mantiene seguro.
The God who is my strong fortress, and who letteth my way go forth straight;
34 Me hace seguro como el ciervo, capaz de caminar por las alturas con seguridad.
Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;
35 Me enseña a luchar en la batalla; me da la fuerza para tensar un arco de bronce.
Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
36 Me protege con el escudo de su salvación; su ayuda me ha engrandecido.
Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation; and Thy condescension hath made me great.
37 Me diste espacio para caminar y evitaste que mis pies resbalaran.
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
38 Perseguí a mis enemigos y los alcancé. No me devolví hasta haberlos destruido.
I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.
39 Los derribé y no pudieron levantarse. Cayeron a mis pies.
And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, that they cannot arise; yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40 Me hiciste fuerte para la batalla; hiciste que los que se levantaron contra mí se arrodillaran ante mí.
For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
41 Hiciste que mis enemigos huyeran; destruí a todos mis enemigos.
Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me; yea, them that hate me, that I might cut them off.
42 Ellos clamaron por ayuda, pero nadie vino a rescatarlos. Incluso clamaron al Señor, pero él no les respondió.
They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.
43 Los convertí en polvo, como el polvo de la tierra. Los aplasté y los arrojé como lodo en la calle.
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.
44 Me rescataste de los pueblos rebeldes; me mantuviste como gobernante de las naciones: gente que no conocía ahora me sirve.
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.
45 Los extranjeros se acobardan ante mí; en cuanto oyen hablar de mí, me obedecen.
The sons of the stranger dwindle away before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
46 Se desalientan y salen temblando de sus fortalezas.
The sons of the stranger fade away, and come halting out of their close places.
47 ¡El Señor vive! ¡Bendita sea mi Roca! ¡Alabado sea el Dios que me salva!
The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God, my Rock of salvation;
48 Dios me vindica, pone a los pueblos bajo mis pies,
Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and bringeth down peoples under me,
49 Y me libera de los que me odian. Me mantiene a salvo de los que se rebelan contra mí, me salva de los hombres violentos.
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.
50 Por eso te alabaré entre las naciones, Señor; cantaré alabanzas sobre lo que tú eres.
Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.
51 Has salvado al rey tantas veces, mostrando tu amor fiel a David, tu ungido, y a sus descendientes por siempre.
A tower of salvation is He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
