1 ALEPH Happy are they who are without sin in their ways, walking in the law of the Lord.
1 ALEPH. BIENAVENTURADOS los perfectos de camino; los que andan en la ley de Jehová.
2 Happy are they who keep his unchanging word, searching after him with all their heart.
2 Bienaventurados los que guardan sus testimonios, y con todo el corazón le buscan:
3 They do no evil; they go in his ways.
3 Pues no hacen iniquidad los que andan en sus caminos.
4 You have put your orders into our hearts, so that we might keep them with care.
4 Tú encargaste que sean muy guardados tus mandamientos.
5 If only my ways were ordered so that I might keep your rules!
5 ¡Ojalá fuesen ordenados mis caminos á observar tus estatutos!
6 Then I would not be put to shame, as long as I have respect for all your teaching.
6 Entonces no sería yo avergonzado, cuando atendiese á todos tus mandamientos.
7 I will give you praise with an upright heart in learning your right decisions.
7 Te alabaré con rectitud de corazón, cuando aprendiere los juicios de tu justicia.

120 My flesh is moved for fear of you; I give honour to your decisions.
120 Mi carne se ha extremecido por temor de ti; y de tus juicios tengo miedo.
121 AIN I have done what is good and right: you will not give me into the hands of those who are working against me.
121 AIN. Juicio y justicia he hecho; no me dejes á mis opresores.
122 Take your servant's interests into your keeping; let me not be crushed by the men of pride.
122 Responde por tu siervo para bien: no me hagan violencia los soberbios.
123 My eyes are wasted with desire for your salvation, and for the word of your righteousness.

151 You are near, O Lord; and all your teachings are true.
151 Cercano estás tú, oh Jehová; y todos tus mandamientos son verdad.
152 I have long had knowledge that your unchanging word is for ever.
152 Ya ha mucho que he entendido de tus mandamientos, que para siempre los fundaste.
153 RESH O see my trouble, and be my saviour; for I keep your law in my mind,
153 RESH. Mira mi aflicción, y líbrame; porque de tu ley no me he olvidado.
154 Undertake my cause, and come to my help, give me life, as you have said.
154 Aboga mi causa, y redímeme: vivifícame con tu dicho.
155 Salvation is far from evil-doers; for they have made no search for your rules.
155 Lejos está de los impíos la salud; porque no buscan tus estatutos.
156 Great is the number of your mercies, O Lord; give me life in keeping with your decisions.
156 Muchas son tus misericordias, oh Jehová: vivifícame conforme á tus juicios.
157 Great is the number of those who are against me; but I have not been turned away from your unchanging word.

160 Your word is true from the first; and your upright decision is unchanging for ever.
160 El principio de tu palabra es verdad; y eterno [es] todo juicio de tu justicia.
161 SHIN Rulers have been cruel to me without cause; but I have the fear of your word in my heart.
161 SIN. Príncipes me han perseguido sin causa; mas mi corazón tuvo temor de tus palabras.
162 I am delighted by your saying, like a man who makes discovery of great wealth.
162 Gózome yo en tu palabra, como el que halla muchos despojos.
163 I am full of hate and disgust for false words; but I am a lover of your law.

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).

  3. Quotes verse 119:103 Basil of Caesarea, Hexaemeron (Homily III)

    It is this charm of truth which the Psalmist expresses so emphatically when he says, "How sweet are thy words unto my taste, yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth." Yesterday then, as far as we were able, we delighted our souls by conversing about the oracles of God, and now to-day we are met together again on the second …

  5. Quotes verse 119:37 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VII, Chapters X–XV)

    But after Thou hadst fomented the head of me unconscious of it, and closed mine eyes lest they should "behold vanity," I ceased from myself a little, and my madness was lulled to sleep; and I awoke in Thee, and saw Thee to be infinite, though in another way; and this sight was not derived from the flesh.
