1Y habló David a YHVH las palabras de este cántico el día que YHVH lo libró de la mano de Saúl y de todos sus enemigos.2Y dijo: YHVH es mi Roca y mi fortaleza, y mi libertador;3Dios es mi Roca, en Él me refugiaré; Mi escudo, y el cuerno de mi salvación, Mi alto refugio, y mi Salvador. De la violencia me libraste.4Invocaré a YHVH, quien es digno de ser alabado, Y seré salvo de mis enemigos.5Cuando me cercaban las olas de la Muerte, Y torrentes destructores me aterraban,6Y me envolvían los lazos del Seol, Y me alcanzaban los lazos de la Muerte,7En mi angustia invoqué a YHVH, Sí, invoqué a mi Dios, y oyó mi voz desde su morada, Y mi clamor llegó a sus oídos.8La tierra fue conmovida, y tembló, Se conmovieron los cimientos de los cielos; Se estremecieron, porque Él se indignó.9De su nariz se alzó una humareda, Y de su boca salió un fuego abrasador, Que lanzó carbones encendidos.10Inclinó los cielos, y descendió, Con espesas tinieblas debajo de sus pies;11Cabalgó sobre un querubín, y voló; Se cernió sobre las alas del viento,12Envuelto en un cerco de tinieblas, Oscuridad de aguas, y densos nubarrones.13Al fulgor de su presencia se encendieron las centellas;14YHVH tronó desde los cielos, ’Elyón hizo resonar su voz;15Disparó sus saetas, y los dispersó; Lanzó relámpagos, y los destruyó.16Entonces aparecieron los torrentes de las aguas, Y los cimientos del universo quedaron descubiertos, A la reprensión de YHVH, Por el soplo del aliento de su nariz.17Envió desde lo alto y me tomó; Me sacó de entre las muchas aguas.18Me libró de un poderoso enemigo, Y de los que me aborrecían, pues eran más fuertes que yo.19Me enfrentaron en el día de mi quebranto, Pero YHVH fue mi apoyo,20Y me sacó a lugar espacioso; Me libró, porque en mí se complació.21YHVH recompensó mi rectitud, Y retribuyó la pureza de mis manos.22Porque guardé los caminos de YHVH, Y no me aparté impíamente de mi Dios.23Pues todos sus preceptos estuvieron delante de mí, Y no me aparté de sus estatutos.24Fui recto para con Él, Y me he guardado de mi maldad;25YHVH recompensó mi rectitud; Mi pureza en su presencia.26Con el misericordioso te mostrarás misericordioso, Y recto para con el hombre recto.27Limpio te mostrarás para con el limpio, Y con el perverso, sagaz.28Tú salvas al pueblo afligido, Y humillas los ojos soberbios.29¡Tú eres mi lámpara, oh YHVH! ¡Oh YHVH, Tú alumbras mis tinieblas!30Contigo, aplastaré ejércitos, Con mi Dios, asaltaré muros.31En cuanto a Dios, perfecto es su camino, Y acrisolada la palabra de YHVH. Escudo a todos los que en Él esperan.32Porque ¿quién es Dios, sino sólo YHVH? ¿Y qué Roca hay fuera de nuestro Dios?33Dios es el que me ciñe de vigor, Y hace perfecto mi camino;34Quien hace mis pies como de ciervas, Y me hace estar firme en mis alturas;35Quien adiestra mis manos para la batalla, Y mis brazos para tensar el arco de bronce.36Me has dado también el escudo de tu salvación, Y tu benignidad me ha engrandecido.37Ensanchas mis pasos debajo de mí, Y mis pies no han resbalado.38Perseguiré a mis enemigos y los destruiré, Y no me volveré atrás hasta acabarlos.39Sí, acabaré con ellos y los golpearé, de modo que no puedan levantarse. ¡Ya han caído bajo mis pies!40Pues Tú me ceñiste de fuerza para la batalla, E hiciste que mis enemigos se doblegaran debajo de mí,41También has hecho que mis enemigos me vuelvan las espaldas, Para que destruya a los que me aborrecen.42Miraron en derredor, y no hubo quien salvara; Aun a YHVH, pero no los oyó.43Los he molido como polvo de la tierra; Pisado y triturado como el lodo de las calles.44Tú también me has librado de las contiendas de mi pueblo; Me guardaste para ser cabeza de naciones; Pueblo que yo no conocía me servirá.45Hijos de extranjeros se someterán a mí; Al oír de mí, me obedecerán.46Los extranjeros se debilitarán, Y saldrán temblando de sus encierros.47¡Viva YHVH, y bendita sea mi Roca! ¡Engrandecido sea el Dios de mi salvación!48El Dios que venga mis agravios, Y sujeta pueblos debajo de mí;49El que me saca de entre los enemigos; Sí, Tú me exaltas por encima de los que me resisten, Y me libras del hombre cruel.50Por tanto, oh YHVH, yo te confesaré entre las naciones, Y cantaré alabanzas a tu Nombre51Que salva maravillosamente a su rey, Y muestra misericordia a su ungido: ¡A David y a su simiente para siempre!
2 Samuel 22
King James Version
1And David spake 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:2And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;3The 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; thou savest me from violence.4I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.5When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;6The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;7In 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.8Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.9There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.10He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.11And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.12And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.13Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.14The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.15And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.16And 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.17He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;18He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.19They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.20He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.21The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.22For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.23For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.24I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.25Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.26With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.27With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.28And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.29For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.30For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.31As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.32For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?33God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.34He maketh my feet like hinds'feet : and setteth me upon my high places.35He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.36Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.37Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.38I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.39And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.40For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.41Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.42They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.43Then 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.44Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.45Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.46Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.47The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.48It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,49And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.50Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.51He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
