Salmos 18

BIBLIA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Del maestro de coro. Del siervo de Yahveh, David, que dirigió a Yahveh las palabras de este cántico el día en que Yahveh le libró de todos sus enemigos y de las manos de Saúl.	1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who addressed the words of this song to the LORD on the day when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said: I love thee, O LORD, my strength.
2 Dijo: Yo te amo, Yahveh, mi fortaleza, (mi salvador, que de la violencia me has salvado).	2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 Yahveh, mi roca y mi baluarte, mi liberador, mi Dios; la peña en que me amparo, mi escudo y fuerza de mi salvación, mi ciudadela y mi refugio.	3 I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
4 Invoco a Yahveh, que es digno de alabanza, y quedo a salvo de mis enemigos.	4 The cords of death encompassed me, the torrents of perdition assailed me;
5 Las olas de la muerte me envolvían, me espantaban las trombas de Belial,	5 the cords of Sheol entangled me, the snares of death confronted me.
6 los lazos del seol me rodeaban, me aguardaban los cepos de la Muerte.	6 In my distress I called upon the LORD; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.
7 Clamé a Yahveh en mi angustia, a mi Dios invoqué; y escuchó mi voz desde su Templo, resonó mi llamada en sus oídos.	7 Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations also of the mountains trembled and quaked, because he was angry.
8 La tierra fue sacudida y vaciló, retemblaron las bases de los montes, (vacilaron bajo su furor);	8 Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him.
9 una humareda subió de sus narices, y de su boca un fuego que abrasaba, (de él salían carbones encendidos).	9 He bowed the heavens, and came down; thick darkness was under his feet.
10 El inclinó los cielos y bajó, un espeso nublado debajo de sus pies;	10 He rode on a cherub, and flew; he came swiftly upon the wings of the wind.
11 cabalgó sobre un querube, emprendió el vuelo, sobre las alas de los vientos planeó.	11 He made darkness his covering around him, his canopy thick clouds dark with water.
12 Se puso como tienda un cerco de tinieblas, tinieblas de las aguas, espesos nubarrones;	12 Out of the brightness before him there broke through his clouds hailstones and coals of fire.
13 del fulgor que le precedía se encendieron granizo y ascuas de fuego.	13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice, hailstones and coals of fire.
14 Tronó Yahveh en los cielos, lanzó el Altísimo su voz;	14 And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; he flashed forth lightnings, and routed them.
15 arrojó saetas, y los puso en fuga, rayos fulminó y sembró derrota.	15 Then the channels of the sea were seen, and the foundations of the world were laid bare, at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 El fondo del mar quedó a la vista, los cimientos del orbe aparecieron, ante tu imprecación, Yahveh, al resollar el aliento en tus narices.	16 He reached from on high, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
17 El extiende su mano de lo alto para asirme, para sacarme de las profundas aguas;	17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
18 me libera de un enemigo poderoso, de mis adversarios más fuertes que yo.	18 They came upon me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was my stay.
19 Me aguardaban el día de mi ruina, más Yahveh fue un apoyo para mí;	19 He brought me forth into a broad place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 me sacó a espacio abierto, me salvó porque me amaba.	20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he recompensed me.
21 Yahveh me recompensa conforme a mi justicia, me paga conforme a la pureza de mis manos;	21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 porque he guardado los caminos de Yahveh, y no he hecho el mal lejos de mi Dios.	22 For all his ordinances were before me, and his statutes I did not put away from me.
23 Porque tengo ante mí todos sus juicios, y sus preceptos no aparto de mi lado;	23 I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from guilt.
24 he sido ante él irreprochable, y de incurrir en culpa me he guardado.	24 Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25 Y Yahveh me devuelve según mi justicia, según la pureza de mis manos que tiene ante sus ojos.	25 With the loyal thou dost show thyself loyal; with the blameless man thou dost show thyself blameless;
26 Con el piadoso eres piadoso, intachable con el hombre sin tacha;	26 with the pure thou dost show thyself pure; and with the crooked thou dost show thyself perverse.
27 con el puro eres puro, con el ladino, sagaz;	27 For thou dost deliver a humble people; but the haughty eyes thou dost bring down.
28 tú que salvas al pueblo humilde, y abates los ojos altaneros.	28 Yea, thou dost light my lamp; the LORD my God lightens my darkness.
29 Tú eres, Yahveh, mi lámpara, mi Dios que alumbra mis tinieblas;	29 Yea, by thee I can crush a troop; and by my God I can leap over a wall.
30 con tu ayuda las hordas acometo, con mi Dios escalo la muralla.	30 This God--his way is perfect; the promise of the LORD proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
31 Dios es perfecto en sus caminos, la palabra de Yahveh acrisolada. El es el escudo de cuantos a él se acogen.	31 For who is God, but the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God?--
32 Pues ¿quién es Dios fuera de Yahveh? ¿Quién Roca, sino sólo nuestro Dios?	32 the God who girded me with strength, and made my way safe.
33 El Dios que me ciñe de fuerza, y hace mi camino irreprochable,	33 He made my feet like hinds' feet, and set me secure on the heights.
34 que hace mis pies como de ciervas, y en las alturas me sostiene en pie,	34 He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 el que mis manos para el combate adiestra y mis brazos para tensar arco de bronce.	35 Thou hast given me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand supported me, and thy help made me great.
36 Tú me das tu escudo salvador, (tu diestra me sostiene), tu cuidado me exalta,	36 Thou didst give a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip.
37 mis pasos ensanchas ante mí, no se tuercen mis tobillos.	37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them; and did not turn back till they were consumed.
38 Persigo a mis enemigos, les doy caza, no vuelvo hasta haberlos acabado;	38 I thrust them through, so that they were not able to rise; they fell under my feet.
39 los quebranto, no pueden levantarse, sucumben debajo de mis pies.	39 For thou didst gird me with strength for the battle; thou didst make my assailants sink under me.
40 Para el combate de fuerza me ciñes, doblegas bajo mí a mis agresores,	40 Thou didst make my enemies turn their backs to me, and those who hated me I destroyed.
41 a mis enemigos haces dar la espalda, extermino a los que me odian.	41 They cried for help, but there was none to save, they cried to the LORD, but he did not answer them.
42 Claman, mas no hay salvador, a Yahveh, y no les responde.	42 I beat them fine as dust before the wind; I cast them out like the mire of the streets.
43 Los machaco como polvo al viento, como al barro de las calles los piso.	43 Thou didst deliver me from strife with the peoples; thou didst make me the head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me.
44 De las querellas de mi pueblo tú me libras, me pones a la cabeza de las gentes; pueblos que no conocía me sirven;	44 As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me; foreigners came cringing to me.
45 los hijos de extranjeros me adulan, son todo oídos, me obedecen,	45 Foreigners lost heart, and came trembling out of their fastnesses.
46 los hijos de extranjeros desmayan, y dejan temblando sus refugios.	46 The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation,
47 ¡Viva Yahveh, bendita sea mi roca, el Dios de mi salvación sea ensalzado,	47 the God who gave me vengeance and subdued peoples under me;
48 el Dios que la venganza me concede y abate los pueblos a mis plantas!	48 who delivered me from my enemies; yea, thou didst exalt me above my adversaries; thou didst deliver me from men of violence.
49 Tú me libras de mis enemigos, me exaltas sobre mis agresores, del hombre violento me salvas.	49 For this I will extol thee, O LORD, among the nations, and sing praises to thy name.
50 Por eso he de alabarte entre los pueblos, a tu nombre, Yahveh, salmodiaré.	50 Great triumphs he gives to his king, and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his descendants for ever.
51 El hace grandes las victorias de su rey y muestra su amor a su ungido, a David y a su linaje para siempre.
