WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Let the Lord be praised. O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
1 ALELUYA. Alabad á Jehová, porque es bueno; porque para siempre [es] su misericordia.
1 Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
2 Who is able to give an account of the great acts of the Lord, or to make clear all his praise?
2 ¿Quién expresará las valentías de Jehová? ¿[quién] contará sus alabanzas?
2 Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh, or fully declare all his praise?
3 Happy are they whose decisions are upright, and he who does righteousness at all times.
3 Dichosos los que guardan juicio, los que hacen justicia en todo tiempo.
3 Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.
4 Keep me in mind, O Lord, when you are good to your people; O let your salvation come to me;
4 Acuérdate de mí, oh Jehová, según [tu] benevolencia para con tu pueblo: visítame con tu salud;
4 Remember me, Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,
5 So that I may see the well-being of the people of your selection, and have a part in the joy of your nation, and take pride in your heritage.
5 Para que yo vea el bien de tus escogidos, para que me goce en la alegría de tu gente, y me gloríe con tu heredad.
5 that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.
6 We are sinners like our fathers, we have done wrong, our acts are evil.
6 Pecamos con nuestros padres, hicimos iniquidad, hicimos impiedad.
6 We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.
7 Our fathers did not give thought to your wonders in Egypt; they did not keep in memory the great number of your mercies, but gave you cause for wrath at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
7 Nuestros padres en Egipto no entendieron tus maravillas; no se acordaron de la muchedumbre de tus misericordias; sino que se rebelaron junto á la mar, en el mar Bermejo.
7 Our fathers didn’t understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn’t remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8 But he was their saviour because of his name, so that men might see his great power.
8 Salvólos empero por amor de su nombre, para hacer notoria su fortaleza.
8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known.
9 By his word the Red Sea was made dry: and he took them through the deep waters as through the waste land.
9 Y reprendió al mar Bermejo, y secólo; é hízoles ir por el abismo, como por un desierto.
9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
10 And he took them safely out of the hands of their haters, and kept them from the attacks of those who were against them.
10 Y salvólos de mano del enemigo, y rescatólos de mano del adversario.
10 He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 And the waters went over their haters; all of them came to an end.
11 Y cubrieron las aguas á sus enemigos: no quedó uno de ellos.
11 The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.
12 Then they had faith in his words; they gave him songs of praise.
12 Entonces creyeron á sus palabras, y cantaron su alabanza.
12 Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
13 But their memory of his works was short; not waiting to be guided by him,
13 Apresuráronse, olvidáronse de sus obras; no esperaron en su consejo.
13 They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,
14 They gave way to their evil desires in the waste land, and put God to the test in the dry places.
14 Y desearon con ansia en el desierto; y tentaron á Dios en la soledad.
14 but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.
15 And he gave them their request, but sent a wasting disease into their souls.
15 Y él les dió lo que pidieron; mas envió flaqueza en sus almas.
15 He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
16 They were full of envy against Moses among the tents, and against Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.
16 Tomaron después celo contra Moisés en el campo, [y] contra Aarón el santo de Jehová.
16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, Yahweh’s saint.
17 The earth opening put an end to Dathan, covering up Abiram and his band.
17 Abrióse la tierra, y tragó á Dathán, y cubrió la compañía de Abiram.
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
18 And a fire was lighted among their tents; the sinners were burned up by the flames.
18 Y encendióse el fuego en su junta; la llama quemó los impíos.
18 A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.
19 They made a young ox in Horeb, and gave worship to an image of gold.
19 Hicieron becerro en Horeb, y encorváronse á un vaciadizo.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.
20 And their glory was changed into the image of an ox, whose food is grass.
20 Así trocaron su gloria por la imagen de un buey que come hierba.
20 Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.
21 They had no memory of God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;
21 Olvidaron al Dios de su salud, que había hecho grandezas en Egipto;
21 They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
22 Works of wonder in the land of Ham, and things of fear by the Red Sea.
22 Maravillas en la tierra de Châm, cosas formidables sobre el mar Bermejo.
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea.
23 And he was purposing to put an end to them if Moses, his special servant, had not gone up before him, between him and his people, turning back his wrath, to keep them from destruction.
23 Y trató de destruirlos, á no haberse puesto Moisés su escogido al portillo delante de él, á fin de apartar su ira, para que no [los] destruyese.
23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.
24 They were disgusted with the good land; they had no belief in his word;
24 Empero aborrecieron la tierra deseable: no creyeron á su palabra;
24 Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn’t believe his word,
25 Talking against him secretly in their tents, they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord.
25 Antes murmuraron en sus tiendas, y no oyeron la voz de Jehová.
25 but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice.
26 So he made an oath against them, to put an end to them in the waste land:
26 Por lo que alzó su mano á ellos, en orden á postrarlos en el desierto,
26 Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
27 That their children might be mixed among the nations, and sent away into other lands.
27 Y humillar su simiente entre las gentes, y esparcirlos por las tierras.
27 that he would overthrow their offspring among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
28 And they were joined to Baal-peor, and took part in the offerings to the dead.
28 Allegáronse asimismo á Baal-peor, y comieron los sacrificios de los muertos.
28 They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 So they made him angry by their behaviour; and he sent disease on them.
29 Y ensañaron [á Dios] con sus obras, y desarrollóse la mortandad en ellos.
29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.
30 Then Phinehas got up, and made prayer for them; and the disease went no farther.
30 Entonces se levantó Phinees, é hizo juicio; y se detuvo la plaga.
30 Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped.
31 And all the generations coming after him kept the memory of his righteousness for ever.
31 Y fuéle contado á justicia de generación en generación para siempre.
31 That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.
32 They made God angry again at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled because of them;
32 También le irritaron en las aguas de Meriba: é hizo mal á Moisés por causa de ellos;
32 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;
33 For they made his spirit bitter, and he said unwise things.
33 Porque hicieron se rebelase su espíritu, como lo expresó con sus labios.
33 because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.
34 They did not put an end to the peoples, as the Lord had said;
34 No destruyeron los pueblos que Jehová les dijo;
34 They didn’t destroy the peoples, as Yahweh commanded them,
35 But they were joined to the nations, learning their works.
35 Antes se mezclaron con las gentes, y aprendieron sus obras,
35 but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works.
36 And they gave worship to images; which were a danger to them:
36 Y sirvieron á sus ídolos; los cuales les fueron por ruina.
36 They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
37 They even made offerings of their sons and their daughters to evil spirits,
37 Y sacrificaron sus hijos y sus hijas á los demonios;
37 Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38 And gave the blood of their sons and their daughters who had done no wrong, offering them to the images of Canaan; and the land was made unclean with blood.
38 Y derramaron la sangre inocente, la sangre de sus hijos y de sus hijas, que sacrificaron á los ídolos de Canaán: y la tierra fué contaminada con sangre.
38 They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.
39 So they became unclean through their works, going after their evil desires.
39 Contamináronse así con sus obras, y fornicaron con sus hechos.
39 Thus they were defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.
40 Then the wrath of the Lord was burning against his people, and he was angry with his heritage.
40 Encendióse por tanto el furor de Jehová sobre su pueblo, y abominó su heredad:
40 Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.
41 And he gave them into the hands of the nations; and they were ruled by their haters.
41 Y entrególos en poder de las gentes, y enseñoreáronse de ellos los que los aborrecían.
41 He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.
42 By them they were crushed, and made low under their hands.
42 Y sus enemigos los oprimieron, y fueron quebrantados debajo de su mano.
42 Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.
43 Again and again he made them free; but their hearts were turned against his purpose, and they were overcome by their sins.
43 Muchas veces los libró; mas ellos se rebelaron á su consejo, y fueron humillados por su maldad.
43 He rescued them many times, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.
44 But when their cry came to his ears, he had pity on their trouble:
44 El con todo, miraba cuando estaban en angustia, y oía su clamor:
44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.
45 And kept in mind his agreement with them, and in his great mercy gave them forgiveness.
45 Y acordábase de su pacto con ellos, y arrepentíase conforme á la muchedumbre de sus miseraciones.
45 He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
46 He put pity into the hearts of those who made them prisoners.
46 Hizo asimismo tuviesen de ellos misericordia todos los que los tenían cautivos.
46 He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.
47 Be our saviour, O Lord our God, and let us come back together from among the nations, so that we may give honour to your holy name, and have glory in your praise.
47 Sálvanos, Jehová Dios nuestro, y júntanos de entre las gentes, para que loemos tu santo nombre, para que nos gloriemos en tus alabanzas.
47 Save us, Yahweh, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise!
48 Praise be to the Lord God of Israel for ever and for ever; and let all the people say, So be it. Give praise to the Lord.
48 Bendito Jehová Dios de Israel, desde el siglo y hasta el siglo: y diga todo el pueblo, Amén. Aleluya.
48 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise Yah!

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).
This Psalm is the first of those to which is prefixed the word Allelujah; the meaning of which word, or rather two words, is, Praise the Lord. For this reason he beginneth with praises: "O confess unto the Lord, and call upon His Name" (ver.
