  1. “I love You, O Lord, my strength.”
  2. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
    My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
  3. My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
    I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
    A
    nd I am saved from my enemies.
  1. He sent from on high, He took me;
    He drew me out of many waters.
  2. He delivered me from my strong enemy,
    And from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
  3. They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
    But the Lord was my stay.
  4. He brought me forth also into a broad place;
    He rescued me, because He delighted in me.
  1. As for God, His way is blameless;
    The word of the Lord is tried;
    He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
  2. For who is God, but the Lord?
    And who is a rock, except our God,
  3. The God who girds me with strength
    And makes my way blameless?
  4. He makes my feet like hinds’ feet,
    And sets me upon my high places.
  5. He trains my hands for battle,
    So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
  6. You have also given me the shield of Your salvation,
    And Your right hand upholds me;
    And Your gentleness makes me great.
  7. You enlarge my steps under me,
    And my feet have not slipped. – Psalm 18:1-3, 16-19, 30-36
  1. «Yo te amo, Señor, fortaleza mía».
  2. El Señor es mi roca, mi baluarte y mi libertador;
    Mi Dios, mi roca en quien me refugio;
    Mi escudo y el poder de mi salvación, mi altura inexpugnable.
  3. Invoco al Señor, que es digno de ser alabado,
    Y soy salvo de mis enemigos.
  1. Extendió la mano desde lo alto y me tomó;
    Me sacó de las muchas aguas.
  2. Me libró de mi poderoso enemigo,
    Y de los que me aborrecían, pues eran más fuertes que yo.
  3. Se enfrentaron a mí el día de mi infortunio,
    Pero el Señor fue mi sostén.
  4. También me sacó a un lugar espacioso;
    Me rescató, porque se complació en mí.
  1. En cuanto a Dios, Su camino es perfecto;
    Acrisolada es la palabra del Señor;
    Él es escudo a todos los que a Él se acogen.
  2. Pues, ¿quién es Dios, fuera del Señor?
    ¿Y quién es roca, sino solo nuestro Dios,
  3. El Dios que me ciñe de poder,
    Y ha hecho perfecto mi camino?
  4. Él hace mis pies como de ciervas,
    Y me afirma en mis alturas.
  5. Él adiestra mis manos para la batalla,
    Y mis brazos para tensar el arco de bronce.
  6. Tú me has dado también el escudo de Tu salvación;
    Tu diestra me sostiene,
    Y Tu benevolencia me engrandece.
  7. Ensanchas mis pasos debajo de mí,
    Y mis pies no han resbalado. – Salmos 18:1-3, 16-19, 30-36
