Salmos 91

1 Los que viven bajo la protección del Altísimo, permanecerán seguros con el Todopoderoso.

Happy is he whose resting-place is in the secret of the Lord, and under the shade of the wings of the Most High;

2 Esto es lo que diré del Señor: “Él es el único que me protege y me defiende. Él es mi Dios, y confío en él”.

Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: he is my God, in whom is my hope.

3 Porque él te salvará de trampas escondidas y de enfermedades mortales.

He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease.

4 Te esconderá bajo sus plumas, y te abrigará bajo sus alas. Su verdad te protegerá y te escudará.

You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.

5 No tendrás miedo del terror nocturno, ni de las flechas que vuelan por el día,

You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day,

6 o de las enfermedades que atacan en la noche, o de catástrofes que caen al mediodía.

Or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high.

7 Porque mil caerán a tu lado, y diez mil morirán a tu derecha, pero tú no serás dañado.

You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.

8 Solo tendrás que abrir los ojos para que veas cómo los malos reciben su merecido.

Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the evil-doers.

9 Ya que has hecho del Señor tu protección, y del Altísimo tu morada,

Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord, the Most High is my safe resting-place;

10 nada malo te pasará; ninguna plaga se acercará donde vives.

No evil will come on you, and no disease will come near your tent.

11 Porque él mandará a sus ángeles para que te cuiden en todo lo que hagas.

For he will give you into the care of his angels to keep you wherever you go.

12 Te sostendrán con sus manos para que no tropieces y caigas.

In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

13 Pisotearás leones y serpientes; hollarás crías de leones y víboras.

You will put your foot on the lion and the snake; the young lion and the great snake will be crushed under your feet.

14 Yo salvaré a todo el que me ame; protegeré a todo el que me acepte.

Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.

15 Cuando clamen a mí pro ayuda, Responderé; cuando estén en problemas, Estaré con ellos. Los salvaré y los honraré.

When his cry comes up to me, I will give him an answer: I will be with him in trouble; I will make him free from danger and give him honour.

16 Les daré una larga vida, y les mostraré mi salvación.

With long life will he be rewarded; and I will let him see my salvation.
