2 Samuel 22:1-51

Salmo de David

22:1-51Sal 18

1David 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. 2Dijo así:

«El Señor es mi roca, mi amparo, mi libertador;

3es mi Dios, la roca en que me refugio.

Es mi escudo, el poder que me salva,22:3 el poder que me salva. Lit. el cuerno de mi salvación.

¡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.

5Las olas de la muerte me envolvieron;

los torrentes destructores me abrumaron.

6Los lazos del sepulcro22:6 sepulcro. Lit. Seol. 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!

8La tierra tembló, se estremeció;

se sacudieron los cimientos de los cielos;

temblaron a causa de su enojo.

9Por la nariz echaba humo,

por la boca, fuego consumidor;

¡lanzaba carbones encendidos!

10Rasgando el cielo, descendió,

pisando sobre oscuros nubarrones.

11Montando sobre un querubín, surcó los cielos

y se remontó22:11 se remontó (mss. hebreos; véanse Siríaca, Targum, Vulgata, Sal 18:10); apareció (TM). sobre las alas del viento.

12De las tinieblas y los oscuros nubarrones

hizo tiendas que lo rodeaban.

13De su radiante presencia

brotaron carbones encendidos.

14Desde el cielo se oyó el trueno del Señor;

resonó la voz del Altísimo.

15Lanzó flechas y dispersó a los enemigos;

con relámpagos los desconcertó.

16A causa de la reprensión del Señor

y por el resoplido de su enojo,22:16 por … su enojo. Lit. por el soplo del aliento de su nariz.

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.

18Me libró de mi enemigo poderoso,

de aquellos que me odiaban y eran más fuertes que yo.

19En el día de mi desgracia me salieron al encuentro,

pero mi apoyo fue el Señor.

20Me 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.

22He guardado los caminos del Señor

y no he cometido el error de alejarme de mi Dios.

23Presentes tengo todas sus leyes;

no me he alejado de sus estatutos.

24He sido íntegro ante él

y me he abstenido de pecar.

25El 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;

27sincero eres con quien es sincero,

pero sagaz con el que es tramposo.

28Das la victoria a los humildes,

pero tu mirada humilla a los altaneros.

29Tú, Señor, eres mi lámpara;

tú, Señor, iluminas mis tinieblas.

30Con 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.

32Pues ¿quién es Dios sino el Señor?

¿Quién es la Roca sino nuestro Dios?

33Es él quien me arma de valor

y hace perfecto mi camino;

34da a mis pies la ligereza del venado

y me mantiene firme en las alturas;

35adiestra mis manos para la batalla

y mis brazos para tensar un arco de bronce.

36Tú me cubres con el escudo de tu salvación;

tu ayuda me ha hecho prosperar.

37Has 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.

39Los aplasté por completo. Ya no se levantan.

¡Cayeron debajo de mis pies!

40Tú me armaste de valor para el combate;

doblegaste ante mí a los rebeldes.

41Hiciste retroceder a mis enemigos,

y así exterminé a los que me odiaban.

42Pedían ayuda y no hubo quien los salvara.

Al Señor clamaron, pero no respondió.

43Los 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.

45Son extranjeros, y me rinden homenaje;

apenas me oyen, me obedecen.

46Esos 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!

48Él es el Dios que me vindica,

el que pone los pueblos a mis pies.

49Tú me libras de mis enemigos,

me exaltas por encima de mis adversarios,

me salvas de los hombres violentos.

50Por 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”».

King James Version

2 Samuel 22:1-51

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;22.5 waves: or, pangs22.5 ungodly…: Heb. Belial 6The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;22.6 sorrows: or, cords 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.22.9 out of his nostrils: Heb. by, etc 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.22.12 dark…: Heb. binding of waters 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;22.17 many: or, great 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.22.24 before: Heb. to 25Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.22.25 in…: Heb. before his eyes 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.22.27 shew thyself unsavoury: or, wrestle 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.22.29 lamp: or, candle 30For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.22.30 run: or, broken 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.22.31 tried: or, refined 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.22.33 maketh: Heb. riddeth, or, looseth 34He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon my high places.22.34 maketh: Heb. equalleth 35He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.22.35 to war: Heb. for the war 36Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.22.36 made…: Heb. multiplied me 37Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.22.37 feet: Heb. ankles 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.22.40 subdued: Heb. caused to bow 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.22.45 Strangers: Heb. Sons of the stranger22.45 submit…: or, yield feigned obedience: Heb. lie 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,22.48 avengeth: Heb. giveth avengement for 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.
