2 Samuel 22
1 Y HABLÓ David á Jehová las palabras de este cántico, el día que Jehová le había librado de la mano de todos sus enemigos, y de la mano de Saúl.
And David spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 Y dijo: Jehová es mi roca, y mi fortaleza, y mi libertador;
And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 Dios de mi roca, en él confiaré: mi escudo, y el cuerno de mi salud, mi fortaleza, y mi refugio; mi salvador, que me librarás de violencia.
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; you save me from violence.
4 Invocaré á Jehová, digno de ser loado, y seré salvo de mis enemigos.
I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
5 Cuando me cercaron ondas de muerte, y arroyos de iniquidad me asombraron,
When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me; (Sheol h7585)
7 Tuve angustia, invoqué á Jehová, y clamé á mi Dios: y él oyó mi voz desde su templo; [llegó] mi clamor á sus oídos.
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
8 La tierra se removió, y tembló; los fundamentos de los cielos fueron movidos, y se estremecieron, porque él se airó.
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was angry.
9 Subió humo de sus narices, y de su boca fuego consumidor, por el cual se encendieron carbones.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10 Y abajó los cielos, y descendió: una oscuridad debajo de sus pies.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
11 Subió sobre el querubín, y voló: aparecióse sobre las alas del viento.
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12 Puso tinieblas alrededor de sí [á modo de] pabellones; aguas negras y espesas nubes.
And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
13 Del resplandor de su presencia se encendieron ascuas ardientes.
Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
14 Jehová tronó desde los cielos, y el Altísimo dió su voz;
The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
15 Arrojó saetas, y desbaratólos; relampagueó, y consumiólos.
And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and humiliated them.
16 Entonces aparecieron los manantiales de la mar, y los fundamentos del mundo fueron descubiertos, á la reprensión de Jehová, al resoplido del aliento de su nariz.
And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 Extendió [su mano] de lo alto, y arrebatóme, y sacóme de copiosas aguas.
He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
18 Libróme de fuertes enemigos, de aquellos que me aborrecían, los cuales eran más fuertes que yo.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19 Asaltáronme en el día de mi calamidad; mas Jehová fué mi sostén.
They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
20 Sacóme á anchura; libróme, porque puso su voluntad en mí.
He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 Remuneróme Jehová conforme á mi justicia; y conforme á la limpieza de mis manos, me dió la paga.
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
22 Porque yo guardé los caminos de Jehová, y no me aparté impíamente de mi Dios.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 Porque delante de mí tengo todas sus ordenanzas; y [atento á] sus fueros, no me retiraré de ellos.
For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 Y fuí íntegro para con él, y guardéme de mi iniquidad.
I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.
25 Remuneróme por tanto Jehová conforme á mi justicia, y conforme á mi limpieza delante de sus ojos.
Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
26 Con el bueno eres benigno, y con el íntegro te muestras íntegro;
With the merciful you will show yourself merciful, and with the upright man you will show yourself upright.
27 Limpio eres para con el limpio, mas con el perverso eres rígido.
With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the perverse you will show yourself unpleasing.
28 Y tú salvas al pueblo humilde; mas tus ojos sobre los altivos, para abatirlos.
And the afflicted people you will save: but your eyes are upon the haughty, that you may bring them down.
29 Porque tú eres mi lámpara, oh Jehová: Jehová da luz á mis tinieblas.
For you are my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
30 Porque en ti romperé ejércitos, y con mi Dios saltaré las murallas.
For by you I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
31 Dios, perfecto su camino: la palabra de Jehová purificada, escudo es de todos los que en él esperan.
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32 Porque ¿qué Dios hay sino Jehová? ¿ó quién es fuerte sino nuestro Dios?
For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
33 Dios es el que con virtud me corrobora, y el que despeja mi camino;
God is my strength and power: and he makes my way perfect.
34 El que hace mis pies como de ciervas, y el que me asienta en mis alturas;
He makes my feet like hinds' feet: and sets me upon my high places.
35 El que enseña mis manos para la pelea, y [da que] con mis brazos quiebre el arco de acero.
He teaches my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
36 Tú me diste asimismo el escudo de tu salud, y tu benignidad me ha acrecentado.
You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your gentleness has made me great.
37 Tú ensanchaste mis pasos debajo de mí, para que no titubeasen mis rodillas.
You have enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38 Perseguiré á mis enemigos, y quebrantarélos; y no me volveré hasta que los acabe.
I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39 Los consumiré, y los heriré, y no se levantarán; y caerán debajo de mis pies.
And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40 Ceñísteme de fortaleza para la batalla, y postraste debajo de mí los que contra mí se levantaron.
For you have girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me have you subdued under me.
41 Tú me diste la cerviz de mis enemigos, de mis aborrecedores, y que yo los destruyese.
You have also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 Miraron, y no hubo quien los librase; á Jehová, mas no les respondió.
They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
43 Yo los desmenuzaré como polvo de la tierra; hollarélos como á lodo de las plazas, y los disiparé.
Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
44 Tú me libraste de contiendas de pueblos: tú me guardaste para que fuese cabeza de gentes: pueblos que no conocía, me sirvieron.
You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people, you have kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
45 Los extraños titubeaban á mí: en oyendo, me obedecían.
Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
46 Los extraños desfallecían, y temblaban en sus escondrijos.
Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
47 Viva Jehová, y sea bendita mi roca; sea ensalzado el Dios, la roca de mi salvamento:
The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
48 El Dios que me ha vengado, y sujeta los pueblos debajo de mí;
It is God that avenges me, and that brings down the people under me.
49 Y que me saca de entre mis enemigos: tú me sacaste en alto de entre los que se levantaron contra mí: librásteme del varón de iniquidades.
And that brings me forth from mine enemies: you also have lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
50 Por tanto yo te confesaré entre las gentes, oh Jehová, y cantaré á tu nombre.
Therefore I will give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto your name.
51 El que engrandece las saludes de su rey, y hace misericordia á su ungido, á David, y á su simiente, para siempre.
He is the tower of salvation for his king: and shows mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
