Salmo de David(A)
22 David dedicó al Señor la letra de esta canción cuando el Señor lo libró de las manos de todos sus enemigos y de las manos de Saúl. 2 Dijo así:
«El Señor es mi roca, mi amparo, mi libertador;
3 es mi Dios, la roca en que me refugio.
Es mi escudo, el poder que me salva,[a]
¡mi más alto escondite!
Él es mi protector y mi salvación.
¡Tú me salvaste de la violencia!
4 »Invoco al Señor, que es digno de alabanza,
y quedo a salvo de mis enemigos.
5 Las olas de la muerte me envolvieron;
los torrentes destructores me abrumaron.
6 Los lazos del sepulcro[b] me enredaron;
las redes de la muerte me atraparon.
7 »En mi angustia invoqué al Señor;
llamé a mi Dios
y él me escuchó desde su Templo;
¡mi clamor llegó a sus oídos!
8 La tierra tembló, se estremeció;
se sacudieron los cimientos de los cielos;
temblaron a causa de su enojo.
9 Por la nariz echaba humo,
por la boca, fuego consumidor;
¡lanzaba carbones encendidos!
10 Rasgando el cielo, descendió,
pisando sobre oscuros nubarrones.
11 Montando sobre un querubín, surcó los cielos
y se remontó[c] sobre las alas del viento.
12 De las tinieblas y los oscuros nubarrones
hizo tiendas que lo rodeaban.
13 De su radiante presencia
brotaron carbones encendidos.
14 Desde el cielo se oyó el trueno del Señor;
resonó la voz del Altísimo.
15 Lanzó flechas y dispersó a los enemigos;
con relámpagos los desconcertó.
16 A causa de la reprensión del Señor
y por el resoplido de su enojo,[d]
las cuencas del mar quedaron a la vista;
al descubierto quedaron los cimientos de la tierra.
17 »Extendiendo su mano desde lo alto,
tomó la mía y me sacó del mar profundo.
18 Me libró de mi enemigo poderoso,
de aquellos que me odiaban y eran más fuertes que yo.
19 En el día de mi desgracia me salieron al encuentro,
pero mi apoyo fue el Señor.
20 Me sacó a un amplio espacio;
me libró porque se agradó de mí.
21 »El Señor me ha pagado conforme a mi justicia;
me ha premiado conforme a la limpieza de mis manos.
22 He guardado los caminos del Señor
y no he cometido el error de alejarme de mi Dios.
23 Presentes tengo todas sus leyes;
no me he alejado de sus estatutos.
24 He sido íntegro ante él
y me he abstenido de pecar.
25 El Señor me ha recompensado conforme a mi justicia,
conforme a mi limpieza ante sus ojos.
26 »Tú eres fiel con quien es fiel
e íntegro con quien es íntegro;
27 sincero eres con quien es sincero,
pero sagaz con el que es tramposo.
28 Das la victoria a los humildes,
pero tu mirada humilla a los altaneros.
29 Tú, Señor, eres mi lámpara;
tú, Señor, iluminas mis tinieblas.
30 Con tu apoyo me lanzaré contra un ejército;
contigo, Dios mío, podré asaltar murallas.
31 »El camino de Dios es perfecto;
la palabra del Señor es intachable.
Escudo es Dios a los que se refugian en él.
32 Pues ¿quién es Dios sino el Señor?
¿Quién es la Roca sino nuestro Dios?
33 Es él quien me arma de valor
y hace perfecto mi camino;
34 da a mis pies la ligereza del venado
y me mantiene firme en las alturas;
35 adiestra mis manos para la batalla
y mis brazos para tensar un arco de bronce.
36 Tú me cubres con el escudo de tu salvación;
tu ayuda me ha hecho prosperar.
37 Has despejado el paso de mi camino,
para que mis tobillos no se tuerzan.
38 »Perseguí a mis enemigos y los destruí;
no retrocedí hasta verlos aniquilados.
39 Los aplasté por completo. Ya no se levantan.
¡Cayeron debajo de mis pies!
40 Tú me armaste de valor para el combate;
doblegaste ante mí a los rebeldes.
41 Hiciste retroceder a mis enemigos,
y así exterminé a los que me odiaban.
42 Pedían ayuda y no hubo quien los salvara.
Al Señor clamaron, pero no respondió.
43 Los desmenucé. Parecían el polvo de la tierra.
Los pisoteé como al lodo de las calles.
44 »Me has librado de los conflictos con mi pueblo;
me has puesto por líder de las naciones;
me sirve gente que yo no conocía.
45 Son extranjeros, y me rinden homenaje;
apenas me oyen, me obedecen.
46 Esos extraños se descorazonan
y temblando salen de sus refugios.
47 »¡El Señor vive! ¡Alabada sea mi Roca!
¡Exaltado sea Dios, la Roca de mi salvación!
48 Él es el Dios que me vindica,
el que pone los pueblos a mis pies.
49 Tú me libras de mis enemigos,
me exaltas por encima de mis adversarios,
me salvas de los hombres violentos.
50 Por eso, Señor, te alabo entre las naciones
y canto salmos a tu nombre.
51 »“Él da grandes victorias a su rey;
a su ungido David y a sus descendientes
les muestra por siempre su gran amor”».

Shmuel Bais 22
Orthodox Jewish Bible
22 And Dovid spoke unto Hashem the devarim of this shirah (song) in the day that Hashem had delivered him out of the palm of all his oyevim (enemies) and out of the palm of Sha’ul:
2 And he said, Hashem is my rock, and my matzadah, and my deliverer;
3 The Elohei (G-d of) my Tzur; in Him will I trust; He is my mogen, and the keren of my Salvation, my stronghold, and my refuge, my Moshia; Thou savest me from chamas.
4 I will call on Hashem, Who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my oyevim.
5 When the waves of mavet (death) compassed me, the floods of scoundrels overwhelm me;
6 The chevlei Sheol (cords of Sheol) encompassed me; the snares of mavet confronted me;
7 In my distress I called upon Hashem, and cried to Elohai; and He did hear my voice out of His Heikhal, and my cry did enter into His oznayim.
8 Then ha’aretz shook and trembled; the mosedot (foundations) of Shomayim moved and shook, because He was in wrath.
9 There went up an ashan (smoke) out of His nostrils, and eish out of His peh (mouth) devoured; coals were kindled by it.
10 He bowed HaShomayim also, and came down; and a dark cloud was under His raglayim.
11 And He rode upon a keruv, and did fly; and He was seen upon the wings of the ruach.
12 And He made choshech sukkot round about Him, dark mayim, and thick clouds of the skies.
13 Through the radiant brightness before Him were coals of eish kindled.
14 Hashem thundered from Shomayim, and Elyon uttered His voice.
15 He sent out khitzim, and scattered them; lightning, and vanquished them.
16 And the channels of the yam appeared, the mosedot (foundations) of the tevel (world) were uncovered, at the rebuking of Hashem, at the blast of the ruach of His nostrils.
17 He sent from on High, He took me; He drew me out of mayim rabbim;
18 He delivered me from my strong oyev, and from them that hated me; for they were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but Hashem was my support.
20 He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because chafetz (He delighted) in me.
21 Hashem rewarded me according to my tzedakah; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
22 For I have been shomer over the drakhei Hashem, and have not wickedly departed from Elohai [see Ac 21:21].
23 For all His mishpatim were before me; as for His chukkot, I did not depart from them.
24 I was also tamim (blameless) before Him, and have kept myself from mine avon (iniquity).
25 Therefore Hashem hath rewarded me according to my tzedakah; according to my cleanness before His eyesight.
26 With the chasid (loyal, the one having chesed, the devout one) Thou wilt show Thyself loyal, and with the Gibbor tamim (blameless man) Thou wilt show Thyself blameless.
27 With the pure Thou wilt show Thyself pure; and with the ikkesh (crooked, devious) Thou wilt show Thyself shrewd.
28 And the Am oni (afflicted people) Thou wilt save; but Thine eyes are upon the haughty, that Thou mayest bring them down.
29 For Thou art my ner (lamp), Hashem; and Hashem will lighten my choshech.
30 For by Thee I have run through a troop; by Elohai can I leap over a wall.
31 As for G-d, His derech is tamim; the Word of Hashem is proven; He is a mogen (shield) to all them that trust in Him.
32 For who is G-d, save Hashem? And who is Tzur, save Eloheinu?
33 G-d is my ma’oz and power; and He maketh my derech perfect.
34 He maketh my feet like the feet of ayyalot (deer); and maketh me stand upon my high places.
35 He teacheth my yadayim for milchamah; so that a keshet nechoshah is bent by mine arms.
36 Thou hast also given me the mogen of Thy Salvation; and hath stooped down to make me great.
37 Thou hast enlarged my stride under me; so that my karsulayim do not slip.
38 I have pursued mine oyevim, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise; indeed, they are fallen under my raglayim.
40 For Thou hast girded me with chayil (strength) for milchamah (battle); them that rose up against me hast Thou caused to bow down under me.
41 Thou hast also given me victory over the necks of mine oyevim, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 They looked, but there was no moshia; even unto Hashem, but He answered them not.
43 Then did I beat them as small as the aphar of eretz, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did scatter them abroad.
44 Thou also hast delivered me from the contentions of my people, Thou hast kept me to be Rosh of the Goyim; a people which I knew not shall serve me [Mt 28:19].
45 Foreigners shall submit themselves unto me; as soon as they hear, they shall be mishma’at (obedient) unto me.
46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their misgerot (strongholds).
47 Hashem liveth; and baruch be my Tzur; and exalted be the Elohei Tzur of my Salvation.
48 It is G-d that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the nations under me.
49 And that bringeth me forth from mine oyevim; Thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me; Thou hast delivered me from the ish chamasim.
50 Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, Hashem, among the Goyim, and I will sing praises unto Shimecha (Thy Name).
51 He is the migdal Yeshu’ot for His melech; and showeth chesed to His Moshiach, unto Dovid, and to his zera ad-olam.

David’s Song of Praise(A)
22 David sang(B) to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. 2 He said:
“The Lord is my rock,(C) my fortress(D) and my deliverer;(E)
3 my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,(F)
my shield[a](G) and the horn[b](H) of my salvation.
He is my stronghold,(I) my refuge and my savior—
from violent people you save me.
4 “I called to the Lord, who is worthy(J) of praise,
and have been saved from my enemies.
5 The waves(K) of death swirled about me;
the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
6 The cords of the grave(L) coiled around me;
the snares of death confronted me.
7 “In my distress(M) I called(N) to the Lord;
I called out to my God.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came to his ears.
8 The earth(O) trembled and quaked,(P)
the foundations(Q) of the heavens[c] shook;
they trembled because he was angry.
9 Smoke rose from his nostrils;
consuming fire(R) came from his mouth,
burning coals(S) blazed out of it.
10 He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds(T) were under his feet.
11 He mounted the cherubim(U) and flew;
he soared[d] on the wings of the wind.(V)
12 He made darkness(W) his canopy around him—
the dark[e] rain clouds of the sky.
13 Out of the brightness of his presence
bolts of lightning(X) blazed forth.
14 The Lord thundered(Y) from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded.
15 He shot his arrows(Z) and scattered the enemy,
with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
16 The valleys of the sea were exposed
and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at the rebuke(AA) of the Lord,
at the blast(AB) of breath from his nostrils.
17 “He reached down from on high(AC) and took hold of me;
he drew(AD) me out of deep waters.
18 He rescued(AE) me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support.(AF)
20 He brought me out into a spacious(AG) place;
he rescued(AH) me because he delighted(AI) in me.(AJ)
21 “The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;(AK)
according to the cleanness(AL) of my hands(AM) he has rewarded me.
22 For I have kept(AN) the ways of the Lord;
I am not guilty of turning from my God.
23 All his laws are before me;(AO)
I have not turned(AP) away from his decrees.
24 I have been blameless(AQ) before him
and have kept myself from sin.
25 The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,(AR)
according to my cleanness[f] in his sight.
26 “To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
27 to the pure(AS) you show yourself pure,
but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.(AT)
28 You save the humble,(AU)
but your eyes are on the haughty(AV) to bring them low.(AW)
29 You, Lord, are my lamp;(AX)
the Lord turns my darkness into light.
30 With your help I can advance against a troop[g];
with my God I can scale a wall.
31 “As for God, his way is perfect:(AY)
The Lord’s word is flawless;(AZ)
he shields(BA) all who take refuge in him.
32 For who is God besides the Lord?
And who is the Rock(BB) except our God?(BC)
33 It is God who arms me with strength[h]
and keeps my way secure.
34 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;(BD)
he causes me to stand on the heights.(BE)
35 He trains my hands(BF) for battle;
my arms can bend a bow(BG) of bronze.
36 You make your saving help my shield;(BH)
your help has made[i] me great.
37 You provide a broad path(BI) for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.
38 “I pursued my enemies and crushed them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
39 I crushed(BJ) them completely, and they could not rise;
they fell beneath my feet.
40 You armed me with strength for battle;
you humbled my adversaries before me.(BK)
41 You made my enemies turn their backs(BL) in flight,
and I destroyed my foes.
42 They cried for help,(BM) but there was no one to save them—(BN)
to the Lord, but he did not answer.(BO)
43 I beat them as fine as the dust(BP) of the earth;
I pounded and trampled(BQ) them like mud(BR) in the streets.
44 “You have delivered(BS) me from the attacks of the peoples;
you have preserved(BT) me as the head of nations.
People(BU) I did not know now serve me,
45 foreigners cower(BV) before me;
as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.(BW)
46 They all lose heart;
they come trembling[j](BX) from their strongholds.
47 “The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!
Exalted(BY) be my God, the Rock, my Savior!(BZ)
48 He is the God who avenges(CA) me,(CB)
who puts the nations under me,
49 who sets me free from my enemies.(CC)
You exalted me(CD) above my foes;
from a violent man you rescued me.
50 Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing the praises(CE) of your name.(CF)
