1 Y o te amo, Señor, fortaleza mía.

I love you, Yahweh, my strength.

2 E l Señor es mi roca, mi baluarte y mi libertador; mi Dios, mi roca en quien me refugio; mi escudo y el cuerno de mi salvación, mi altura inexpugnable.

Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

3 I nvoco al Señor, que es digno de ser alabado, y soy salvo de mis enemigos.

I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.

4 L os lazos de la muerte me cercaron, y los torrentes de iniquidad me atemorizaron;

The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

5 l os lazos del Seol me rodearon; las redes de la muerte surgieron ante mí.

The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death came on me.

6 E n mi angustia invoqué al Señor, y clamé a mi Dios; desde su templo oyó mi voz, y mi clamor delante de El llegó a sus oídos.

In my distress I called on Yahweh, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.

7 E ntonces la tierra se estremeció y tembló; los cimientos de los montes temblaron y fueron sacudidos, porque El se indignó.

Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.

8 H umo subió de su nariz, y el fuego de su boca consumía; carbones fueron por él encendidos.

Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.

9 T ambién inclinó los cielos, y descendió con densas tinieblas debajo de sus pies.

He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.

10 C abalgó sobre un querubín, y voló; y raudo voló sobre las alas del viento.

He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.

11 D e las tinieblas hizo su escondedero, su pabellón a su alrededor; tinieblas de las aguas, densos nubarrones.

He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

12 P or el fulgor de su presencia se desvanecieron sus densas nubes en granizo y carbones encendidos.

At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.

13 E l Señor también tronó en los cielos, y el Altísimo dio su voz: granizo y carbones encendidos.

Yahweh also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.

14 Y envió sus saetas, y los dispersó, y muchos relámpagos, y los confundió.

He sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yes, great lightning bolts, and routed them.

15 E ntonces apareció el lecho de las aguas, y los cimientos del mundo quedaron al descubierto a tu reprensión, oh Señor, al soplo del aliento de tu nariz.

Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

16 E xtendió la mano desde lo alto y me tomó; me sacó de las muchas aguas.

He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.

17 M e libró de mi poderoso enemigo, y de los que me aborrecían, pues eran más fuertes que yo.

18 S e enfrentaron a mí el día de mi infortunio, mas el Señor fue mi sostén.

They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.

19 T ambién me sacó a un lugar espacioso; me rescató, porque se complació en mí.

26 C on el puro eres puro, y con el perverso eres sagaz.

For who is God, except Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God,

32 e l Dios que me ciñe de poder, y ha hecho perfecto mi camino ?

33 E l hace mis pies como de ciervas, y me afirma en mis alturas.

He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.

34 E l adiestra mis manos para la batalla, y mis brazos para tensar el arco de bronce.

37 P erseguí a mis enemigos y los alcancé; y no me volví hasta acabarlos.

38 L os destrocé y no pudieron levantarse; cayeron debajo de mis pies.

40 T ambién has hecho que mis enemigos me vuelvan las espaldas, y destruí a los que me odiaban.

You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

41 C lamaron, mas no hubo quién los salvara; aun al Señor clamaron, mas no les respondió.

They cried, but there was no one to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.

42 E ntonces los desmenucé como polvo delante del viento; los arrojé como lodo de las calles.

Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.

43 T ú me has librado de las contiendas del pueblo; me has puesto por cabeza de las naciones; pueblo que yo no conocía me sirve.
