Salmos 91
1 Tú que te abrigas en el retiro del Altísimo, y descansas a la sombra del Omnipotente,
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 di a Yahvé: “¡Refugio mío y fortaleza mía, mi Dios, en quien confío!”
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Porque Él te librará del lazo de los cazadores y de la peste mortífera.
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.
4 Con sus plumas te cubrirá, y tendrás refugio bajo sus alas; su fidelidad es escudo y broquel.
He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
5 No temerás los terrores de la noche, ni las saetas disparadas de día,
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 ni la pestilencia que vaga en las tinieblas, ni el estrago que en pleno día devasta.
nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 Aunque mil caigan junto a ti y diez mil a tu diestra, tú no serás alcanzado.
A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
8 Antes bien, con tus propios ojos contemplarás, y verás la retribución de los pecadores.
You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.
9 Pues dijiste a Yahvé: “Tú eres mi refugio”, hiciste del Altísimo tu defensa.
Because you have made the LORD your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
10 No te llegará el mal ni plaga alguna se aproximará a tu tienda.
no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
11 Pues Él te ha encomendado a sus ángeles, para que te guarden en todos tus caminos.
For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.
12 Ellos te llevarán en sus manos, no sea que lastimes tu pie contra una piedra.
They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.
13 Caminarás sobre el áspid y el basilisco; hollarás al león y al dragón.
You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
14 “Por cuanto él se entregó a Mí, Yo lo preservaré; lo pondré en alto porque conoció mi Nombre.
“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
15 Me invocará, y le escucharé; estaré con él en la tribulación, lo sacaré y lo honraré.
He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 Lo saciaré de larga vida, y le haré ver mi salvación.”
I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”
