1 H e who lives in the safe place of the Most High will be in the shadow of the All-powerful.

El que habita al abrigo del Altísimo Y mora bajo la sombra del Omnipotente,

2 I will say to the Lord, “You are my safe and strong place, my God, in Whom I trust.”

Dice a Jehová: Esperanza mía, y castillo mío; Mi Dios, en quien confío.

3 F or it is He Who takes you away from the trap, and from the killing sickness.

Él te librará del lazo del cazador, De la peste destructora.

4 H e will cover you with His wings. And under His wings you will be safe. He is faithful like a safe-covering and a strong wall.

Con sus plumas te cubrirá, Y debajo de sus alas estarás seguro; Escudo y adarga es su verdad.

5 Y ou will not be afraid of trouble at night, or of the arrow that flies by day.

No temerás el terror nocturno, Ni saeta que vuele de día,

6 Y ou will not be afraid of the sickness that walks in darkness, or of the trouble that destroys at noon.

Ni pestilencia que ande en oscuridad, Ni mortandad que en medio del día destruya.

7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand. But it will not come near you.

Caerán a tu lado mil, Y diez mil a tu diestra; Mas a ti no llegará.

8 Y ou will only look on with your eyes, and see how the sinful are punished.

Ciertamente con tus ojos mirarás Y verás la retribución de los impíos.

9 B ecause you have made the Lord your safe place, and the Most High the place where you live,

Porque has puesto a Jehová, que es mi esperanza, Al Altísimo, por tu habitación,

10 n othing will hurt you. No trouble will come near your tent.

No te sobrevendrá ningún mal, Y ninguna plaga tocará tu morada.

11 F or He will tell His angels to care for you and keep you in all your ways.

Pues a sus ángeles dará orden acerca de ti, De que te guarden en todos tus caminos.

12 T hey will hold you up in their hands. So your foot will not hit against a stone.

En las manos te llevarán, Para que tu pie no tropiece en piedra.

13 Y ou will walk upon the lion and the snake. You will crush under your feet the young lion and the snake.

Sobre el león y el áspid pisarás; Hollarás al cachorro del león y al dragón.

14 B ecause he has loved Me, I will bring him out of trouble. I will set him in a safe place on high, because he has known My name.

Por cuanto en mí ha puesto su amor, yo también lo libraré; Le pondré en alto, por cuanto ha conocido mi nombre.

15 H e will call upon Me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will take him out of trouble and honor him.

Me invocará, y yo le responderé; Con él estaré yo en la angustia; Lo libraré y le glorificaré.

16 I will please him with a long life. And I will show him My saving power.

Lo saciaré de larga vida, Y le mostraré mi salvación.
