1 Y o te amo, Señor, fortaleza mía.

“I love You, O Lord, my strength.”

2 E l Señor es mi roca, mi baluarte y mi libertador; mi Dios, mi roca en quien me refugio; mi escudo y el cuerno de mi salvación, mi altura inexpugnable.

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 I nvoco al Señor, que es digno de ser alabado, y soy salvo de mis enemigos.

I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.

4 L os lazos de la muerte me cercaron, y los torrentes de iniquidad me atemorizaron;

The cords of death encompassed me, And the torrents of ungodliness terrified me.

5 l os lazos del Seol me rodearon; las redes de la muerte surgieron ante mí.

The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.

6 E n mi angustia invoqué al Señor, y clamé a mi Dios; desde su templo oyó mi voz, y mi clamor delante de El llegó a sus oídos.

In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried to my God for help; He heard my voice out of His temple, And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.

7 E ntonces la tierra se estremeció y tembló; los cimientos de los montes temblaron y fueron sacudidos, porque El se indignó.

Then the earth shook and quaked; And the foundations of the mountains were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry.

8 H umo subió de su nariz, y el fuego de su boca consumía; carbones fueron por él encendidos.

Smoke went up out of His nostrils, And fire from His mouth devoured; Coals were kindled by it.

9 T ambién inclinó los cielos, y descendió con densas tinieblas debajo de sus pies.

He bowed the heavens also, and came down With thick darkness under His feet.

10 C abalgó sobre un querubín, y voló; y raudo voló sobre las alas del viento.

He rode upon a cherub and flew; And He sped upon the wings of the wind.

11 D e las tinieblas hizo su escondedero, su pabellón a su alrededor; tinieblas de las aguas, densos nubarrones.

He made darkness His hiding place, His canopy around Him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

12 P or el fulgor de su presencia se desvanecieron sus densas nubes en granizo y carbones encendidos.

From the brightness before Him passed His thick clouds, Hailstones and coals of fire.

13 E l Señor también tronó en los cielos, y el Altísimo dio su voz: granizo y carbones encendidos.

The Lord also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered His voice, Hailstones and coals of fire.

14 Y envió sus saetas, y los dispersó, y muchos relámpagos, y los confundió.

He sent out His arrows, and scattered them, And lightning flashes in abundance, and routed them.

15 E ntonces apareció el lecho de las aguas, y los cimientos del mundo quedaron al descubierto a tu reprensión, oh Señor, al soplo del aliento de tu nariz.

Then the channels of water appeared, And the foundations of the world were laid bare At Your rebuke, O Lord, At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.

16 E xtendió la mano desde lo alto y me tomó; me sacó de las muchas aguas.

He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.

17 M e libró de mi poderoso enemigo, y de los que me aborrecían, pues eran más fuertes que yo.

18 S e enfrentaron a mí el día de mi infortunio, mas el Señor fue mi sostén.

They confronted me in the day of my calamity, But the Lord was my stay.

19 T ambién me sacó a un lugar espacioso; me rescató, porque se complació en mí.

22 P ues todas sus ordenanzas estaban delante de mí, y no alejé de mí sus estatutos.

For all His ordinances were before me, And I did not put away His statutes from me.

23 T ambién fui íntegro para con El, y me guardé de mi iniquidad.

I was also blameless with Him, And I kept myself from my iniquity.

24 P or tanto el Señor me ha recompensado conforme a mi justicia, conforme a la pureza de mis manos delante de sus ojos.

Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.

25 C on el benigno te muestras benigno, con el íntegro te muestras íntegro.

With the kind You show Yourself kind; With the blameless You show Yourself blameless;

26 C on el puro eres puro, y con el perverso eres sagaz.

With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the crooked You show Yourself astute.

27 P orque tú salvas al pueblo afligido, pero humillas los ojos altivos.

For You save an afflicted people, But haughty eyes You abase.

For You light my lamp; The Lord my God illumines my darkness.

29 P ues contigo aplastaré ejércitos, y con mi Dios escalaré murallas.

For by You I can run upon a troop; And by my God I can leap over a wall.

30 E n cuanto a Dios, su camino es perfecto; acrisolada es la palabra del Señor; El es escudo a todos los que a El se acogen.

As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the Lord is tried; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

31 P ues, ¿quién es Dios, fuera del Señor ? ¿Y quién es roca, sino sólo nuestro Dios,

For who is God, but the Lord ? And who is a rock, except our God,

32 e l Dios que me ciñe de poder, y ha hecho perfecto mi camino ?

The God who girds me with strength And makes my way blameless?

33 E l hace mis pies como de ciervas, y me afirma en mis alturas.

He makes my feet like hinds’ feet, And sets me upon my high places.

34 E l adiestra mis manos para la batalla, y mis brazos para tensar el arco de bronce.

37 P erseguí a mis enemigos y los alcancé; y no me volví hasta acabarlos.

I pursued my enemies and overtook them, And I did not turn back until they were consumed.

38 L os destrocé y no pudieron levantarse; cayeron debajo de mis pies.

40 T ambién has hecho que mis enemigos me vuelvan las espaldas, y destruí a los que me odiaban.

You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, And I destroyed those who hated me.

41 C lamaron, mas no hubo quién los salvara; aun al Señor clamaron, mas no les respondió.

They cried for help, but there was none to save, Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.

42 E ntonces los desmenucé como polvo delante del viento; los arrojé como lodo de las calles.

Then I beat them fine as the dust before the wind; I emptied them out as the mire of the streets.

43 T ú me has librado de las contiendas del pueblo; me has puesto por cabeza de las naciones; pueblo que yo no conocía me sirve.

You have delivered me from the contentions of the people; You have placed me as head of the nations; A people whom I have not known serve me.
