1 In finem. Puero Domini David, qui locutus est Domino verba cantici hujus, in die qua eripuit eum Dominus de manu omnium inimicorum ejus, et de manu Saul, et dixit:
·
·
2 [Diligam te, Domine, fortitudo mea.
18:1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David, siervo de Jehová, el cual profirió á 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: AMARTE he, oh Jehová, fortaleza mía.
18:1 For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of Yahweh, who spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said, I love you, Yahweh, my strength.
3 Dominus firmamentum meum, et refugium meum, et liberator meus. Deus meus adjutor meus, et sperabo in eum; protector meus, et cornu salutis meæ, et susceptor meus.
18:2 Jehová, roca mía y castillo mío, y mi libertador; Dios mío, fuerte mío, en él confiaré; escudo mío, y el cuerno de mi salud, mi refugio.
18:2 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.
4 Laudans invocabo Dominum, et ab inimicis meis salvus ero.
18:3 Invocaré á Jehová, digno de ser alabado, y seré salvo de mis enemigos.
18:3 I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.
5 Circumdederunt me dolores mortis, et torrentes iniquitatis conturbaverunt me.
18:4 Cercáronme dolores de muerte, y torrentes de perversidad me atemorizaron.
18:4 The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
6 Dolores inferni circumdederunt me; præoccupaverunt me laquei mortis.
18:5 Dolores del sepulcro me rodearon, previniéronme lazos de muerte.
18:5 The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death came on me.
7 In tribulatione mea invocavi Dominum, et ad Deum meum clamavi: et exaudivit de templo sancto suo vocem meam; et clamor meus in conspectu ejus introivit in aures ejus.
18:6 En mi angustia invoqué á Jehová, y clamé á mi Dios: él oyó mi voz desde su templo, y mi clamor llegó delante de él, á sus oídos.
18:6 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.
8 Commota est, et contremuit terra; fundamenta montium conturbata sunt, et commota sunt: quoniam iratus est eis.
18:7 Y la tierra fué conmovida y tembló; y moviéronse los fundamentos de los montes, y se estremecieron, porque se indignó él.
18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
9 Ascendit fumus in ira ejus, et ignis a facie ejus exarsit; carbones succensi sunt ab eo.
18:8 Humo subió de su nariz, y de su boca consumidor fuego; carbones fueron por él encendidos.
18:8 Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
10 Inclinavit cælos, et descendit, et caligo sub pedibus ejus.
18:9 Y bajó los cielos, y descendió; y oscuridad debajo de sus pies.
18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
11 Et ascendit super cherubim, et volavit; volavit super pennas ventorum.
18:10 Y cabalgó sobre un querubín, y voló: voló sobre las alas del viento.
18:10 He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
12 Et posuit tenebras latibulum suum; in circuitu ejus tabernaculum ejus, tenebrosa aqua in nubibus aëris.
18:11 Puso tinieblas por escondedero suyo, su pabellón en derredor de sí; oscuridad de aguas, nubes de los cielos.
18:11 He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
13 Præ fulgore in conspectu ejus nubes transierunt; grando et carbones ignis.
18:12 Por el resplandor delante de él, sus nubes pasaron; granizo y carbones ardientes.
18:12 At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
14 Et intonuit de cælo Dominus, et Altissimus dedit vocem suam: grando et carbones ignis.
18:13 Y tronó en los cielos Jehová, y el Altísimo dió su voz; granizo y carbones de fuego.
18:13 Yahweh also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.
15 Et misit sagittas suas, et dissipavit eos; fulgura multiplicavit, et conturbavit eos.
18:14 Y envió sus saetas, y desbaratólos; y echó relámpagos, y los destruyó.
18:14 He sent out his arrows, and scattered them. He routed them with great lightning bolts.
16 Et apparuerunt fontes aquarum, et revelata sunt fundamenta orbis terrarum, ab increpatione tua, Domine, ab inspiratione spiritus iræ tuæ.
18:15 Y aparecieron las honduras de las aguas, y descubriéronse los cimientos del mundo, á tu reprensión, oh Jehová, por el soplo del viento de tu nariz.
18:15 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.
17 Misit de summo, et accepit me; et assumpsit me de aquis multis.
18:16 Envió desde lo alto; tomóme, sacóme de las muchas aguas.
18:16 He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
18 Eripuit me de inimicis meis fortissimis, et ab his qui oderunt me. Quoniam confortati sunt super me;
18:17 Libróme de mi poderoso enemigo, y de los que me aborrecían, aunque eran ellos más fuertes que yo.
18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
19 prævenerunt me in die afflictionis meæ: et factus est Dominus protector meus.
18:18 Asaltáronme en el día de mi quebranto: mas Jehová fué mi apoyo.
18:18 They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.
20 Et eduxit me in latitudinem; salvum me fecit, quoniam voluit me,
18:19 Y sacóme á anchura: libróme, porque se agradó de mí.
18:19 He brought me out also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 et retribuet mihi Dominus secundum justitiam meam, et secundum puritatem manuum mearum retribuet mihi:
18:20 Hame pagado Jehová conforme á mi justicia: conforme á la limpieza de mis manos me ha vuelto.
18:20 Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands, he has recompensed me.
22 quia custodivi vias Domini, nec impie gessi a Deo meo;
18:21 Porque yo he guardado los caminos de Jehová, y no me aparté impíamente de mi Dios.
18:21 For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 quoniam omnia judicia ejus in conspectu meo, et justitias ejus non repuli a me.
18:22 Pues todos sus juicios estuvieron delante de mí, y no eché de mí sus estatutos.
18:22 For all his ordinances were before me. I didn’t put away his statutes from me.
24 Et ero immaculatus cum eo; et observabo me ab iniquitate mea.
18:23 Y fuí íntegro para con él, y cauteléme de mi maldad.
18:23 I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
25 Et retribuet mihi Dominus secundum justitiam meam, et secundum puritatem manuum mearum in conspectu oculorum ejus.
18:24 Pagóme pues Jehová conforme á mi justicia; conforme á la limpieza de mis manos delante de sus ojos.
18:24 Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
26 Cum sancto sanctus eris, et cum viro innocente innocens eris,
18:25 Con el misericordioso te mostrarás misericordioso, y recto para con el hombre íntegro.
18:25 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.
27 et cum electo electus eris, et cum perverso perverteris.
18:26 Limpio te mostrarás para con el limpio, y severo serás para con el perverso.
18:26 With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
28 Quoniam tu populum humilem salvum facies, et oculos superborum humiliabis.
18:27 Y tú salvarás al pueblo humilde, y humillarás los ojos altivos.
18:27 For you will save the afflicted people, but the arrogant eyes you will bring down.
29 Quoniam tu illuminas lucernam meam, Domine; Deus meus, illumina tenebras meas.
18:28 Tú pues alumbrarás mi lámpara: Jehová mi Dios alumbrará mis tinieblas.
18:28 For you will light my lamp, Yahweh. My God will light up my darkness.
30 Quoniam in te eripiar a tentatione; et in Deo meo transgrediar murum.
18:29 Porque contigo desharé ejércitos; y con mi Dios asaltaré muros.
18:29 For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
31 Deus meus, impolluta via ejus; eloquia Domini igne examinata: protector est omnium sperantium in se.
18:30 Dios, perfecto su camino: es acendrada la palabra de Jehová: escudo es á todos los que en él esperan.
18:30 As for God, his way is perfect. Yahweh’s word is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
32 Quoniam quis deus præter Dominum? aut quis deus præter Deum nostrum?
18:31 Porque ¿qué Dios hay fuera de Jehová? ¿y qué fuerte fuera de nuestro Dios?
18:31 For who is God, except Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God,
33 Deus qui præcinxit me virtute, et posuit immaculatam viam meam;
18:32 Dios es el que me ciñe de fuerza, é hizo perfecto mi camino;
18:32 the God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect?
34 qui perfecit pedes meos tamquam cervorum, et super excelsa statuens me;
18:33 Quien pone mis pies como [pies] de ciervas, é hízome estar sobre mis alturas;
18:33 He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.
35 qui docet manus meas ad prælium. Et posuisti, ut arcum æreum, brachia mea,
18:34 Quien enseña mis manos para la batalla, y será quebrado con mis brazos el arco de acero.
18:34 He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
36 et dedisti mihi protectionem salutis tuæ: et dextera tua suscepit me, et disciplina tua correxit me in finem, et disciplina tua ipsa me docebit.
18:35 Dísteme asimismo el escudo de tu salud: y tu diestra me sustentó, y tu benignidad me ha acrecentado.
18:35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.
37 Dilatasti gressus meos subtus me, et non sunt infirmata vestigia mea.
18:36 Ensanchaste mis pasos debajo de mí, y no titubearon mis rodillas.
18:36 You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
38 Persequar inimicos meos, et comprehendam illos; et non convertar donec deficiant.
18:37 Perseguido he mis enemigos, y alcancélos, y no volví hasta acabarlos.
18:37 I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. I won’t turn away until they are consumed.
39 Confringam illos, nec poterunt stare; cadent subtus pedes meos.
18:38 Helos herido, y no podrán levantarse: cayeron debajo de mis pies.
18:38 I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.
40 Et præcinxisti me virtute ad bellum, et supplantasti insurgentes in me subtus me.
18:39 Pues me ceñiste de fortaleza para la pelea; has agobiado mis enemigos debajo de mí.
18:39 For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
41 Et inimicos meos dedisti mihi dorsum, et odientes me disperdidisti.
18:40 Y dísteme la cerviz de mis enemigos, y destruí á los que me aborrecían.
18:40 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
42 Clamaverunt, nec erat qui salvos faceret; ad Dominum, nec exaudivit eos.
18:41 Clamaron, y no hubo quien salvase: [aun] á Jehová, mas no los oyó.
18:41 They cried, but there was no one to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.
43 Et comminuam eos ut pulverem ante faciem venti; ut lutum platearum delebo eos.
18:42 Y molílos como polvo delante del viento; esparcílos como lodo de las calles.
18:42 Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.
44 Eripies me de contradictionibus populi; constitues me in caput gentium.
18:43 Librásteme de contiendas de pueblo: pusísteme por cabecera de gentes: pueblo que yo no conocía, me sirvió.
18:43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
45 Populus quem non cognovi servivit mihi; in auditu auris obedivit mihi.
18:44 Así que hubo oído, me obedeció; los hijos de extraños me mintieron;
18:44 As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.
46 Filii alieni mentiti sunt mihi, filii alieni inveterati sunt, et claudicaverunt a semitis suis.
18:45 Los extraños flaquearon, y tuvieron miedo desde sus encerramientos.
18:45 The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their strongholds.
47 Vivit Dominus, et benedictus Deus meus, et exaltetur Deus salutis meæ.
18:46 Viva Jehová, y sea bendita mi roca; y ensalzado sea el Dios de mi salud:
18:46 Yahweh lives! Blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
48 Deus qui das vindictas mihi, et subdis populos sub me; liberator meus de inimicis meis iracundis.
18:47 El Dios que me da las venganzas, y sujetó pueblos á mí.
18:47 even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
49 Et ab insurgentibus in me exaltabis me; a viro iniquo eripies me.
18:48 Mi libertador de mis enemigos: hicísteme también superior de mis adversarios; librásteme de varón violento.
18:48 He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
50 Propterea confitebor tibi in nationibus, Domine, et nomini tuo psalmum dicam;
18:49 Por tanto yo te confesaré entre las gentes, oh Jehová, y cantaré á tu nombre.
18:49 Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
51 magnificans salutes regis ejus, et faciens misericordiam christo suo David, et semini ejus usque in sæculum.]
18:50 El cual engrandece las saludes de su rey, y hace misericordia á su ungido, á David y á su simiente, para siempre.

  2. Cita 18:11 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LVI)

    … a dark cloud;--as on Mount Sinai; for "Moses," it is said, "entered into the cloud, and into the thick darkness; and as a vapor, so went up the smoke;" and the prophet said, when speaking of His threatening, "Dark water in clouds of the air;" --so here, because it was His desire not to alarm, but to teach, it is …
