2 Samuel 22
1 E hizo David una canción para el Señor con estas palabras, el día en que el Señor lo liberó de las manos de todos sus enemigos, y de la mano de Saúl:
After Yahweh had rescued David from Saul and his other enemies, David sang a song to Yahweh.
2 Y él dijo: El Señor es mi roca, mi fortaleza, y mi salvador;
[This is what] he sang: Yahweh, you are like a [huge overhanging] rock [under which I can hide] [MET]; you are like my fortress, and you rescue me.
3 Dios mío, roca mía, en él pondré mi fe; mi coraza y el poder de mi salvación, mi torre alta y mi lugar seguro; Mi salvador, que me mantiene a salvo del hombre violento.
Yahweh, you protect me; you are like a shield; you are the powerful one [MET] who saves me; you are like a place where I (find refuge/am safe). You save me from those who act violently toward me.
4 Enviaré mi clamor al Señor, quien es digno de alabanza; Así me protegeré de los que están contra mí.
I call out to you, Yahweh; you deserve to be praised, and you rescue me from my enemies.
5 Porque las olas de la muerte me rodearon, y los mares del mal me hicieron temer;
“almost died [PRS]; it was like [MET] a huge wave had crashed over me, and almost destroyed me like a flood.
I thought that I would die; it was as though death wrapped ropes around me; it was as though I was in a trap where I would surely die. [PRS, MET] (Sheol h7585)
7 En mi angustia mi voz subió al Señor, y mi clamor a mi Dios: mi voz llegó a su oído en su santo Templo, y mi oración llegó a sus oídos.
But when I was (very distressed/in great trouble), I called out to you, Yahweh; I cried out to you, my God. And from your temple you heard me; you listened when I called to you to help me.
8 Entonces la tierra se conmovió con un golpe violento; Las bases del cielo se movieron y temblaron, porque él estaba enojado.
“Then [it was as though] the earth quaked and shook; [it was as though] the foundations that ([held up/supported]) the sky trembled, because you were angry.
9 De su nariz salía humo, y de su boca salía un fuego de destrucción: encendía carbones.
[It was as though] smoke poured out of your nostrils and burning coals and fire that burns everything came out of your mouth.
10 Se doblaron los cielos para que descendiera; y estaba oscuro bajo sus pies.
You tore open the sky and came down; there was a thick dark [cloud] under your feet.
11 Y atravesó el aire, sentado en una nube de tormenta, yendo rápidamente sobre las alas del viento.
You rode [through the sky] on a winged creature; the wind enabled you to travel [swiftly] [MET], like a bird.
12 E hizo a su alrededor la oscuridad su tabernáculo, una masa de aguas, gruesas nubes de los cielos.
The darkness surrounded you, like a blanket; thick clouds that were full of water also surrounded you.
13 Un fulgor de resplandor salió de su presencia, lloviendo hielo y carbones de fuego.
Out of the lightning in front of you fire from burning coals flamed.
14 El Señor hizo truenos en los cielos, y la voz del Altísimo estaba sonando.
Then, Yahweh, you spoke like thunder from the sky; it was your voice, God, you who are greater than all other gods, that was heard.
15 Y él envió sus flechas, llevándolas en todas direcciones; por sus llamas de fuego mis enemigos se turbaron.
When you sent flashes of lightning, [it was as though] [MET] you shot your arrows and scattered your enemies.
16 Luego se vieron los canales profundos del mar, y se descubrieron las bases del mundo, debido a la ira del Señor, a causa del fuerte soplo del aliento de su nariz.
Then the bottom of the ocean was uncovered; the foundations of the world could be seen when you rebuked [your enemies] with a snort from your nostrils.
17 Me tendió la mano desde de lo alto, me tomó y me sacó de las grandes aguas.
“Yahweh, you reached down from heaven and lifted me up; you pulled me up from the deep water.
18 Me liberó de mi fuerte odiador, de los que estaban contra mí, porque eran más fuertes que yo.
You rescued me from my strong enemies, from those who hated me; [I could not defeat them because] they were very strong.
19 Ellos vinieron sobre mí en el día de mi problema, pero el Señor fue mi apoyo.
They attacked me when I was experiencing troubles/difficulties, but Yahweh, you protected me.
20 Me sacó a un lugar espacioso; Él era mi salvador porque se deleitaba en mí.
You brought me to a place where I was safe; you rescued me because you were pleased with me.
21 El Señor me da la recompensa de mi justicia, porque mis manos están limpias delante de él.
“Yahweh, you rewarded me because I do what is right; you did good things for me because I (was innocent/had not done things that are wrong).
22 Porque he guardado los caminos del Señor; No he sido apartado de mi Dios.
Yahweh, I have obeyed your laws; I have not turned away from you, my God.
23 Porque todas sus decisiones estaban delante de mí, y no aparté de mí sus leyes.
All of your regulations were in my mind, and I did not turn away from [obeying] all your statutes.
24 Y fui recto delante de él, y me guardé del pecado.
You know that I have not done anything that is evil; I have kept myself from doing things for which I should be punished.
25 Por esto el Señor me ha dado la recompensa de mi justicia, porque mis manos están limpias en sus ojos.
So you have rewarded me in return for my doing what is right, because [you know that] I (am innocent of doing/have not done) wrong things.
26 Sobre el que tiene misericordia, tú tendrás misericordia; para los rectos serás recto;
“Yahweh, you are faithful/loyal to those who always trust in you; you always do what is good to those whose behavior is always good.
27 El que es santo verá que tú eres santo; Pero para el hombre cuyo camino no es recto, serás un juez duro.
You act sincerely toward those whose inner beings are pure, but you are hostile to those who are perverse/wicked.

29 Porque tú eres mi luz, oh Señor; y el Señor alumbra mi oscuridad.

30 Con tu ayuda, me abrí paso a través de un ejército, con la ayuda de mi Dios, he saltado sobre muros.
With your strength/help I can run through a line of enemy soldiers and I can climb over the wall [that surrounds their city].
31 En cuanto a Dios, su camino es perfecto, la palabra del Señor es purificada; Él es un escudo seguro para todos aquellos que ponen su fe en él.
“My God whom I worship, everything that you do is perfect; you always do what you promise that you will do. You are like a shield [MET] to all those who request you to protect them.
32 Porque ¿quién es Dios sino el Señor? ¿Y quién es la roca, sino nuestro Dios?
Yahweh, you are [RHQ] the only one who is God; only you are like a huge rock [MET] [under which we are protected/safe].
33 Dios me ciñe de poder, guiándome de manera directa.

34 Hace mis pies ligeros como de ciervo, y me pone en lugares altos.
[When I walk] in the mountains, you enable me to walk safely, without stumbling [MET] like a deer runs.
35 Él hace que mis manos sean expertas en la guerra, de modo que un arco de bronce se doble por mis brazos.
You teach me [how to fight] in a battle in order that I can shoot arrows well from a very strong bow.
36 Me has dado la coraza de tu salvación, y tu misericordia me ha hecho grande.

You have not allowed [my enemies] to capture me [IDM], and I have not fallen down [during battles].

42 Estaban gritando, pero no había nadie que acudiera en su ayuda: ni siquiera él Señor, les respondió.
They (looked for/wanted) someone to rescue them, but no one did. They cried out to you, Yahweh, [for help, ] but you did not answer them.
43 Entonces fueron aplastados tan pequeños como el polvo de la tierra, pisoteados bajo mis pies como él lodo de las calles.
I crushed them, and as a result they became like [SIM] tiny particles of dust. I trampled them, and they became like [SIM] mud in the streets.
44 Me has liberado de las luchas de mi pueblo; Tú me has hecho cabeza de las naciones; un pueblo del cual no tenía conocimiento serán mis siervos.
“You rescued me from those who tried to rebel [against me], and you appointed me to rule many nations; people whom I did not know previously are now (under my authority/my slaves).
45 Los extranjeros de otros países, se pondrán bajo mi autoridad: desde el momento en que mi nombre llegue a sus oídos, me obedecerán.
Foreigners humbly bowed down in front of me; as soon as they heard about me, they obeyed me.

51 La gran salvación da a su rey. Y muestra su fidelidad a su pacto; tiene misericordia del rey de su elección, David, y de su descendencia para siempre.
