Psalm 18
Amplified Bible
David Praises the Lord for Rescuing Him.
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord, who spoke the words of this song to the Lord on the day when the Lord rescued him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said:
18 “I love You [fervently and devotedly], O Lord, my strength.”
2
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and the One who rescues me;
My God, my rock and strength in whom I trust and take refuge;
My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower—my stronghold.(A)
3
I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;
And I am saved from my enemies.(B)
4
The cords of death surrounded me,
And the streams of ungodliness and torrents of destruction terrified me.
5
The cords of Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
6
In my distress [when I seemed surrounded] I called upon the Lord
And cried to my God for help;
He heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry for help came before Him, into His very ears.
7
Then the earth shook and quaked,
The foundations of the mountains trembled;
They were shaken because He was indignant and angry.
8
Smoke went up from His nostrils,
And fire from His mouth devoured;
Coals were kindled by it.
9
He bowed the heavens also and came down;
And thick darkness was under His feet.
10
And He rode upon a cherub (storm) and flew;
And He sped on the wings of the wind.
11
He made darkness His hiding place (covering); His pavilion (canopy) around Him,
The darkness of the waters, the thick clouds of the skies.
12
Out of the brightness before Him passed His thick clouds,
Hailstones and coals of fire.
13
The Lord also thundered in the heavens,
And the Most High uttered His voice,
Hailstones and coals of fire.
14
He sent out His arrows and scattered them;
And He sent an abundance of lightning flashes and confused and routed them [in defeat].
15
Then the stream beds of the waters 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
He reached from on high, He took me;
He drew me out of many waters.
17
He rescued me from my strong enemy,
And from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me.
18
They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
But the Lord was my support.
19
He brought me out into a broad place;
He rescued me because He was pleased with me and delighted in me.
20
The Lord dealt with me according to my righteousness (moral character, spiritual integrity);
According to the cleanness of my hands He has rewarded me.
21
For I have kept the ways of the Lord,
And have not wickedly departed from my God.
22
For all His ordinances were before me,
And I did not put away His statutes from me.
23
I was [a]blameless before Him,
And I kept myself free from my sin.
24
Therefore the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness (moral character, spiritual integrity),
According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
25
With the kind (merciful, faithful, loyal) You show Yourself kind,
With the blameless You show Yourself blameless,
26
With the pure You show Yourself pure,
And with the crooked You show Yourself astute.
27
For You save an afflicted and humble people,
But bring down those [arrogant fools] with haughty eyes.
28
For You cause my lamp to be lighted and to shine;
The Lord my God illumines my darkness.
29
For by You I can crush a troop,
And by my God I can leap over a wall.
30
As for God, His way is [b]blameless.
The word of the Lord is tested [it is perfect, it is faultless];
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
31
For who is God, but the Lord?
Or who is a rock, except our God,
32
The God who encircles me with strength
And makes my way blameless?
33
He makes my feet like [c]hinds’ feet [able to stand firmly and tread safely on paths of testing and trouble];
He sets me [securely] upon my high places.
34
He trains my hands for war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35
You have also given me the shield of Your salvation,
And Your right hand upholds and sustains me;
Your gentleness [Your gracious response when I pray] makes me great.
36
You enlarge the path beneath me and make my steps secure,
So that my feet will not slip.
37
I pursued my enemies and overtook them;
And I did not turn back until they were consumed.
38
I shattered them so that they were not able to rise;
They fell [wounded] under my feet.
39
For You have encircled me with strength for the battle;
You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
40
You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me [in defeat],
And I silenced and destroyed those who hated me.
41
They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—
Even to the Lord [they cried], but He did not answer them.
42
Then I beat them fine as the dust before the wind;
I emptied them out as the dirt of the streets.
43
You have rescued me from the contentions of the people;
You have placed me as the head of the nations;
A people whom I have not known serve me.
44
As soon as they hear me, they respond and obey me;
Foreigners feign obedience to me.
45
Foreigners lose heart,
And come trembling out of their strongholds.
46
The Lord lives, blessed be my rock;
And may the God of my salvation be exalted,
47
The God who avenges me,
And subdues peoples (nations) under me.
48
He rescues me from my enemies;
Yes, You lift me up above those who rise up against me;
You deliver me from the man of violence.
49
Therefore will I give thanks and praise You, O Lord, among the nations,
And sing praises to Your name.(C)
50
He gives great triumphs to His king,
And shows steadfast love and mercy to His anointed,
To David and his descendants forever.(D)

Acción de gracias por la victoria
(2 S. 22.1-51)
Al músico principal. Salmo de David, siervo de Jehová, el cual dirigió a Jehová las palabras de este cántico el día que le libró Jehová de mano de todos sus enemigos, y de mano de Saúl. Entonces dijo:
18 Te amo, oh Jehová, fortaleza mía.
2 Jehová, roca mía y castillo mío, y mi libertador;
Dios mío, fortaleza mía, en él confiaré;
Mi escudo, y la fuerza de mi salvación, mi alto refugio.
3 Invocaré a Jehová, quien es digno de ser alabado,
Y seré salvo de mis enemigos.
4 Me rodearon ligaduras de muerte,
Y torrentes de perversidad me atemorizaron.
5 Ligaduras del Seol me rodearon,
Me tendieron lazos de muerte.
6 En mi angustia invoqué a Jehová,
Y clamé a mi Dios.
Él oyó mi voz desde su templo,
Y mi clamor llegó delante de él, a sus oídos.
7 La tierra fue conmovida y tembló;
Se conmovieron los cimientos de los montes,
Y se estremecieron, porque se indignó él.
8 Humo subió de su nariz,
Y de su boca fuego consumidor;
Carbones fueron por él encendidos.
9 Inclinó los cielos, y descendió;
Y había densas tinieblas debajo de sus pies.
10 Cabalgó sobre un querubín, y voló;
Voló sobre las alas del viento.
11 Puso tinieblas por su escondedero, por cortina suya alrededor de sí;
Oscuridad de aguas, nubes de los cielos.
12 Por el resplandor de su presencia, sus nubes pasaron;
Granizo y carbones ardientes.
13 Tronó en los cielos Jehová,
Y el Altísimo dio su voz;
Granizo y carbones de fuego.
14 Envió sus saetas, y los dispersó;
Lanzó relámpagos, y los destruyó.
15 Entonces aparecieron los abismos de las aguas,
Y quedaron al descubierto los cimientos del mundo,
A tu reprensión, oh Jehová,
Por el soplo del aliento de tu nariz.
16 Envió desde lo alto; me tomó,
Me sacó de las muchas aguas.
17 Me libró de mi poderoso enemigo,
Y de los que me aborrecían; pues eran más fuertes que yo.
18 Me asaltaron en el día de mi quebranto,
Mas Jehová fue mi apoyo.
19 Me sacó a lugar espacioso;
Me libró, porque se agradó de mí.
20 Jehová me ha premiado conforme a mi justicia;
Conforme a la limpieza de mis manos me ha recompensado.
21 Porque yo he guardado los caminos de Jehová,
Y no me aparté impíamente de mi Dios.
22 Pues todos sus juicios estuvieron delante de mí,
Y no me he apartado de sus estatutos.
23 Fui recto para con él, y me he guardado de mi maldad,
24 Por lo cual me ha recompensado Jehová conforme a mi justicia;
Conforme a la limpieza de mis manos delante de su vista.
25 Con el misericordioso te mostrarás misericordioso,
Y recto para con el hombre íntegro.
26 Limpio te mostrarás para con el limpio,
Y severo serás para con el perverso.
27 Porque tú salvarás al pueblo afligido,
Y humillarás los ojos altivos.
28 Tú encenderás mi lámpara;
Jehová mi Dios alumbrará mis tinieblas.
29 Contigo desbarataré ejércitos,
Y con mi Dios asaltaré muros.
30 En cuanto a Dios, perfecto es su camino,
Y acrisolada la palabra de Jehová;
Escudo es a todos los que en él esperan.
31 Porque ¿quién es Dios sino solo Jehová?
¿Y qué roca hay fuera de nuestro Dios?
32 Dios es el que me ciñe de poder,
Y quien hace perfecto mi camino;
33 Quien hace mis pies como de ciervas,(A)
Y me hace estar firme sobre mis alturas;
34 Quien adiestra mis manos para la batalla,
Para entesar con mis brazos el arco de bronce.
35 Me diste asimismo el escudo de tu salvación;
Tu diestra me sustentó,
Y tu benignidad me ha engrandecido.
36 Ensanchaste mis pasos debajo de mí,
Y mis pies no han resbalado.
37 Perseguí a mis enemigos, y los alcancé,
Y no volví hasta acabarlos.
38 Los herí de modo que no se levantasen;
Cayeron debajo de mis pies.
39 Pues me ceñiste de fuerzas para la pelea;
Has humillado a mis enemigos debajo de mí.
40 Has hecho que mis enemigos me vuelvan las espaldas,
Para que yo destruya a los que me aborrecen.
41 Clamaron, y no hubo quien salvase;
Aun a Jehová, pero no los oyó.
42 Y los molí como polvo delante del viento;
Los eché fuera como lodo de las calles.
43 Me has librado de las contiendas del pueblo;
Me has hecho cabeza de las naciones;
Pueblo que yo no conocía me sirvió.
44 Al oír de mí me obedecieron;
Los hijos de extraños se sometieron a mí.
45 Los extraños se debilitaron
Y salieron temblando de sus encierros.
46 Viva Jehová, y bendita sea mi roca,
Y enaltecido sea el Dios de mi salvación;
47 El Dios que venga mis agravios,
Y somete pueblos debajo de mí;
48 El que me libra de mis enemigos,
Y aun me eleva sobre los que se levantan contra mí;
Me libraste de varón violento.
49 Por tanto yo te confesaré entre las naciones, oh Jehová,
Y cantaré a tu nombre.(B)
50 Grandes triunfos da a su rey,
Y hace misericordia a su ungido,
A David y a su descendencia, para siempre.
