ASV American Standard Version (1901)
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 For the Chief Musician; set to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
1 Al Músico principal: sobre Muth-labben: Salmo de David. TE alabaré, oh Jehová, con todo mi corazón; contaré todas tus maravillas.
2 I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
2 Alegraréme y regocijaréme en ti: cantaré á tu nombre, oh Altísimo;
3 When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.
3 Por haber sido mis enemigos vueltos atrás: caerán y perecerán delante de ti.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.
4 Porque has hecho mi juicio y mi causa: sentástete en silla juzgando justicia.
5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
5 Reprendiste gentes, destruiste al malo, raíste el nombre de ellos para siempre jamás.
6 The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.
6 Oh enemigo, acabados son para siempre los asolamientos; y las ciudades que derribaste, su memoria pereció con ellas.
7 But Jehovah sitteth [as king] for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;
7 Mas Jehová permanecerá para siempre: dispuesto ha su trono para juicio.
8 And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
8 Y él juzgará el mundo con justicia; y juzgará los pueblos con rectitud.
9 Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;
9 Y será Jehová refugio al pobre, refugio para el tiempo de angustia.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
10 Y en ti confiarán los que conocen tu nombre; por cuanto tú, oh Jehová, no desamparaste á los que te buscaron.
11 Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.
11 Cantad á Jehová, que habita en Sión: noticiad en los pueblos sus obras.
12 For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.
12 Porque demandando la sangre se acordó de ellos: no se olvidó del clamor de los pobres.
13 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction [which I suffer] of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
13 Ten misericordia de mí, Jehová: mira mi aflicción [que padezco] de los que me aborrecen, tú que me levantas de las puertas de la muerte;
14 That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.
14 Porque cuente yo todas tus alabanzas en las puertas de la hija de Sión, [y] me goce en tu salud.
15 The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
15 Hundiéronse las gentes en la fosa que hicieron; en la red que escondieron fué tomado su pie.
16 Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah
16 Jehová fué conocido [en] el juicio que hizo; en la obra de sus manos fué enlazado el malo. (Higaion. Selah.)
17 The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.
17 Los malos serán trasladados al infierno, todas las gentes que se olvidan de Dios.
18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
18 Porque no para siempre será olvidado el pobre; ni la esperanza de los pobres perecerá perpetuamente.
19 Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
19 Levántate, oh Jehová; no se fortalezca el hombre; sean juzgadas las gentes delante de ti.
20 Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. [Selah
20 Pon, oh Jehová, temor en ellos: conozcan las gentes que son no más que hombres. (Selah.)

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm IX)

    The inscription of this Psalm is, "To the end for the hidden things of the Son, a Psalm of David himself." As to the hidden things of the Son there may be a question: but since he has not added whose, the very only-begotten Son of God should be understood.

    … all things predicted by the Lord, and who in this respect strive to follow the footprints of the Lord's passion, having become martyrs of the suffering One; these we do also enrol with the martyrs themselves. For, when inquisition shall be made for their blood, and they shall attain to glory, then all shall be confounded by Christ, who have …

    … shall exist in that most imperturbable security of perpetual and blissful delights, then the expression, "The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever," must be taken in the same sense as that other, "The patience of the poor shall not perish for ever." For patience, which is necessary only where ills are to be borne, shall not be …
