1 A Psalm. A Song at the blessing of the House. Of David. I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.
1 Salmo cantado en la dedicación de la Casa: [Salmo] de David. GLORIFICARTE he, oh Jehová; porque me has ensalzado, y no hiciste á mis enemigos alegrarse de mí.
1 A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David. I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I sent up my cry to you, and you have made me well.
2 Jehová Dios mío, á ti clamé, y me sanaste.
2 Yahweh my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
3 O Lord, you have made my soul come again from the underworld: you have given me life and kept me from going down among the dead.
3 Oh Jehová, hiciste subir mi alma del sepulcro, dísteme vida, para que no descendiese á la sepultura.
3 Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name.
4 Cantad á Jehová, vosotros sus santos, y celebrad la memoria de su santidad.
4 Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.
5 For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
5 Porque un momento será su furor; [mas] en su voluntad está [la] vida: por la tarde durará el lloro, y á la mañana [vendrá] la alegría.
5 For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

6 Y dije yo en mi prosperidad: no seré jamás conmovido;
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”
7 Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.
7 Porque tú, Jehová, por tu benevolencia has asentado mi monte con fortaleza. Escondiste tu rostro, fuí conturbado.
7 You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8 My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.
8 A ti, oh Jehová, clamaré; y al Señor suplicaré.
8 I cried to you, Yahweh. I made supplication to the Lord:
9 What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?
9 ¿Qué provecho hay en mi muerte, cuando yo descienda al hoyo? ¿Te alabará el polvo? ¿anunciará tu verdad?
9 “What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
10 Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.
10 Oye, oh Jehová, y ten misericordia de mí: Jehová, sé tú mi ayudador.
10 Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper.”
11 By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;
11 Has tornado mi endecha en baile; desataste mi saco, y ceñísteme de alegría.
11 You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
12 So that my glory may make songs of praise to you and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give you praise for ever.
12 Por tanto á ti cantaré, gloria [mía], y no estaré callado. Jehová Dios mío, te alabaré para siempre.
12 to the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

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).
"Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; to the end that my glory may sing to thee, and that I be not pricked." What is this, "That I be not pricked?" That there be not that which shall goad my conscience.
