Notes on this text (1)
- Greek and Latin Bibles number most Psalms one lower than Hebrew and English Bibles.
1 Of David. To you, O Lord, my soul is lifted up.
1 Salmo de David. A TI, oh Jehová, levantaré mi alma.
2 O my God, I have put my faith in you, let me not be shamed; let not my haters be glorying over me.
2 Dios mío, en ti confío; no sea yo avergonzado, no se alegren de mí mis enemigos.
3 Let no servant of yours be put to shame; may those be shamed who are false without cause.
3 Ciertamente ninguno de cuantos en ti esperan será confundido: serán avergonzados los que se rebelan sin causa.
4 Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give me knowledge of your ways.
4 Muéstrame, oh Jehová, tus caminos; enséñame tus sendas.
5 Be my guide and teacher in the true way; for you are the God of my salvation; I am waiting for your word all the day.
5 Encamíname en tu verdad, y enséñame; porque tú eres el Dios de mi salud: en ti he esperado todo el día.
6 O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times.
6 Acuérdate, oh Jehová, de tus conmiseraciones y de tus misericordias, que son perpetuas.
7 Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young, or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because of your righteousness.
7 De los pecados de mi mocedad, y de mis rebeliones, no te acuerdes; conforme á tu misericordia acuérdate de mí, por tu bondad, oh Jehová.
8 Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.
8 Bueno y recto es Jehová: por tanto él enseñará á los pecadores el camino.
9 He will be an upright guide to the poor in spirit: he will make his way clear to them.
9 Encaminará á los humildes por el juicio, y enseñará á los mansos su carrera.
10 All the ways of the Lord are mercy and good faith for those who keep his agreement and his witness.
10 Todas las sendas de Jehová son misericordia y verdad, para los que guardan su pacto y sus testimonios.
11 Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great.
11 Por amor de tu nombre, oh Jehová, perdonarás también mi pecado; porque es grande.
12 If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure.
12 ¿Quién es el hombre que teme á Jehová? El le enseñará el camino que ha de escoger.
13 His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.
13 Su alma reposará en el bien, y su simiente heredará la tierra.
14 The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them.
14 El secreto de Jehová es para los que le temen; y á ellos hará conocer su alianza.
15 My eyes are turned to the Lord at all times; for he will take my feet out of the net.
15 Mis ojos están siempre hacia Jehová; porque él sacará mis pies de la red.
16 Be turned to me, and have mercy on me; for I am troubled and have no helper.
16 Mírame, y ten misericordia de mí; porque estoy solo y afligido.
17 The troubles of my heart are increased: O take me out of my sorrows.
17 Las angustias de mi corazón se han aumentado: sácame de mis congojas.
18 Give thought to my grief and my pain; and take away all my sins.
18 Mira mi aflicción y mi trabajo: y perdona todos mis pecados.
19 See how those who are against me are increased, for bitter is their hate of me.
19 Mira mis enemigos, que se han multiplicado, y con odio violento me aborrecen.
20 O keep my soul, and take me out of danger: let me not be shamed, for I have put my faith in you.
20 Guarda mi alma, y líbrame: no sea yo avergonzado, porque en ti confié.
21 For my clean and upright ways keep me safe, because my hope is in you.
21 Integridad y rectitud me guarden; porque en ti he esperado.
22 Give Israel salvation, O God, out of all his troubles.
22 Redime, oh Dios, á Israel de todas sus angustias.

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).
who cleansest me from the uncleanness of such affections, directing mine eyes towards Thee, and plucking my feet out of the net. For I was astonished that other mortals lived, since he whom I loved, as if he would never die, was dead; and I wondered still more that I, who was to him a second self, could live when …

… hast revealed them unto babes;" that they "that labour and are heavy laden" might "come" unto Him and He might refresh them, because He is "meek and lowly in heart." "The meek will He guide in judgment; and the meek will He teach His way;" looking upon our humility and our distress, and forgiving all our sins.

And do Thou, O Lord, who takest delight in the incense of Thy holy temple, have mercy upon me according to Thy great mercy, "for Thy name's sake;" and on no account leaving what Thou hast begun in me, do Thou complete what is imperfect in me.
