Salmo 18 (17)
El Señor concede grandes victorias a su rey
18 Al maestro del coro. De David, siervo del Señor, que dirigió al Señor las palabras de este cántico el día que el Señor lo salvó de todos sus enemigos y de Saúl. 2 Dijo:
Te quiero, Señor, eres mi fuerza.
3 El Señor es mi bastión, mi baluarte, el que me salva;
mi Dios es la fortaleza en que me resguardo;
es mi escudo, mi refugio y mi defensa.
4 Yo invoco al Señor, digno de alabanza,
y quedo a salvo de mis enemigos.
5 Me rodeaban las cadenas de la muerte,
me aterraban torrentes devastadores,
6 me envolvían las redes del abismo,
me acosaban trampas mortales.
7 En mi angustia invoqué al Señor,
a mi Dios le pedí ayuda.
Desde su santuario escuchó mi grito,
a sus oídos llegó mi clamor.
8 La tierra tembló y se estremeció,
se conmovieron los cimientos del mundo,
retemblaron por su furia.
9 Salió humo de su nariz,
fuego devorador de su boca,
despedía brasas ardientes.
10 Inclinó los cielos y descendió,
caminando sobre la niebla.
11 Montó en un querubín,
emprendió el vuelo
y se elevó sobre las alas del viento.
12 De las tinieblas hizo su refugio,
de aguaceros y densas nubes
una tienda que lo cubría.
13 Ante su resplandor las nubes se deshicieron
en granizo y chispas de fuego.
14 El Señor tronó desde el cielo,
el Altísimo alzó su voz,
granizo y fuego abrasador;
15 disparó sus flechas y los dispersó,
con rayos incontables los dejó aturdidos.
16 Emergieron los lechos de las aguas,
se mostraron los cimientos del mundo
por tu estruendo, Señor,
por el soplo de tu ira.
17 Desde la altura me asió con su mano,
me sacó de las aguas turbulentas.
18 Me salvó de un enemigo poderoso,
de adversarios más fuertes que yo.
19 En un día aciago me atacaron,
pero el Señor fue mi apoyo,
20 me puso a salvo,
me libró porque me amaba.
21 El Señor me premia por mi buena conducta,
me recompensa por la inocencia de mis manos,
22 porque he respetado los caminos del Señor,
no he sido infiel a mi Dios;
23 tengo presentes todos tus mandatos,
no me alejo de sus normas;
24 he sido recto con él,
me he apartado del pecado.
25 El Señor me premia por mi buena conducta,
porque soy inocente ante sus ojos.
26 Eres fiel con quien es fiel,
honrado con el honrado,
27 sincero con el sincero,
sagaz con el retorcido.
28 Porque tú salvas al pueblo humillado
y abates las miradas altivas.
29 Tú enciendes mi lámpara, Señor,
iluminas, ¡oh Dios!, mi oscuridad.
30 Contigo me lanzo al asalto,
con mi Dios franqueo la muralla.
31 El camino de Dios es perfecto,
la palabra del Señor exquisita;
es un escudo para los que en él confían.
32 Pues, ¿quién es Dios, aparte del Señor?
¿Quién una fortaleza, sino nuestro Dios?
33 Dios es quien me ciñe de fuerza
y hace perfecto mi camino.
34 Él me da pies de gacela
y me mantiene firme en las alturas;
35 adiestra mis manos para la guerra
y mis brazos para tensar arco de bronce.
36 Me ofreces tu escudo protector,
tu diestra me sostiene,
tu benevolencia me engrandece.
37 Agilizas mis pasos al andar
y no se tuercen mis tobillos.
38 Persigo a mis enemigos y los alcanzo,
no retrocedo hasta acabar con ellos;
39 los abato y no pueden levantarse,
quedan postrados a mis pies.
40 Me has armado de valor para el combate,
los agresores me han quedado sometidos.
41 Pones en fuga a mis enemigos
y yo aniquilo a mis adversarios.
42 Piden auxilio y no hay quien los salve,
claman a Dios y no les responde.
43 Yo los convierto en polvo que se lleva el viento,
los aplasto como el barro de las calles.
44 Tú me libras de las disputas del pueblo,
me pones al frente de las naciones,
me sirven pueblos que no conozco.
45 Apenas me oyen y ya me obedecen,
los extranjeros se humillan ante mí,
46 los extranjeros quedan sin fuerza
y salen temblando de sus refugios.
47 ¡Viva el Señor! ¡Bendita sea mi Roca!
Sea ensalzado Dios mi salvador,
48 el Dios que me da la revancha
y me somete los pueblos,
49 quien me libra de mis enemigos.
Tú me encumbras sobre mis adversarios,
me proteges del violento.
50 Por eso te ensalzo entre los pueblos
y alabo tu nombre, Señor.
51 Él acrecienta las victorias de su rey
y se mantiene fiel a su ungido,
a David y su descendencia para siempre.
Psalm 18
New International Version
Psalm 18
New International Version
Psalm 18[a](A)
For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord. He sang 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. He said:
1 I love you, Lord, my strength.(B)
2 The Lord is my rock,(C) my fortress(D) and my deliverer;(E)
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,(F)
my shield[b](G) and the horn[c] of my salvation,(H) my stronghold.
3 I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,(I)
and I have been saved from my enemies.(J)
4 The cords of death(K) entangled me;
the torrents(L) of destruction overwhelmed me.
5 The cords of the grave coiled around me;
the snares of death(M) confronted me.
6 In my distress(N) I called to the Lord;(O)
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;(P)
my cry came(Q) before him, into his ears.
7 The earth trembled(R) and quaked,(S)
and the foundations of the mountains shook;(T)
they trembled because he was angry.(U)
8 Smoke rose from his nostrils;(V)
consuming fire(W) came from his mouth,
burning coals(X) blazed out of it.
9 He parted the heavens and came down;(Y)
dark clouds(Z) were under his feet.
10 He mounted the cherubim(AA) and flew;
he soared(AB) on the wings of the wind.(AC)
11 He made darkness his covering,(AD) his canopy(AE) around him—
the dark rain clouds of the sky.
12 Out of the brightness of his presence(AF) clouds advanced,
with hailstones(AG) and bolts of lightning.(AH)
13 The Lord thundered(AI) from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded.[d]
14 He shot his arrows(AJ) and scattered the enemy,
with great bolts of lightning(AK) he routed them.(AL)
15 The valleys of the sea were exposed
and the foundations(AM) of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke,(AN) Lord,
at the blast of breath from your nostrils.(AO)
16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
he drew me out of deep waters.(AP)
17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,(AQ)
from my foes, who were too strong for me.(AR)
18 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,(AS)
but the Lord was my support.(AT)
19 He brought me out into a spacious place;(AU)
he rescued me because he delighted in me.(AV)
20 The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;(AW)
according to the cleanness of my hands(AX) he has rewarded me.(AY)
21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord;(AZ)
I am not guilty of turning(BA) from my God.
22 All his laws are before me;(BB)
I have not turned away from his decrees.
23 I have been blameless(BC) before him
and have kept myself from sin.
24 The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,(BD)
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25 To the faithful(BE) you show yourself faithful,(BF)
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
26 to the pure(BG) you show yourself pure,
but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.(BH)
27 You save the humble(BI)
but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.(BJ)
28 You, Lord, keep my lamp(BK) burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.(BL)
29 With your help(BM) I can advance against a troop[e];
with my God I can scale a wall.
30 As for God, his way is perfect:(BN)
The Lord’s word is flawless;(BO)
he shields(BP) all who take refuge(BQ) in him.
31 For who is God besides the Lord?(BR)
And who is the Rock(BS) except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength(BT)
and keeps my way secure.(BU)
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;(BV)
he causes me to stand on the heights.(BW)
34 He trains my hands for battle;(BX)
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You make your saving help my shield,
and your right hand sustains(BY) me;
your help has made me great.
36 You provide a broad path(BZ) for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.(CA)
37 I pursued my enemies(CB) and overtook them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
38 I crushed them(CC) so that they could not rise;(CD)
they fell beneath my feet.(CE)
39 You armed me with strength(CF) for battle;
you humbled my adversaries(CG) before me.
40 You made my enemies turn their backs(CH) in flight,
and I destroyed(CI) my foes.
41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them(CJ)—
to the Lord, but he did not answer.(CK)
42 I beat them as fine as windblown dust;(CL)
I trampled them[f] like mud in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the attacks of the people;
you have made me the head of nations.(CM)
People I did not know(CN) now serve me,
44 foreigners(CO) cower before me;
as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
45 They all lose heart;(CP)
they come trembling(CQ) from their strongholds.(CR)
46 The Lord lives!(CS) Praise be to my Rock!(CT)
Exalted be God(CU) my Savior!(CV)
47 He is the God who avenges(CW) me,
who subdues nations(CX) under me,
48 who saves(CY) me from my enemies.(CZ)
You exalted me above my foes;
from a violent man(DA) you rescued me.
49 Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;(DB)
I will sing(DC) the praises of your name.(DD)
