BBE Bible in Basic English
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 To the chief music-maker; put to Shushan-eduth. Michtam. Of David. For teaching. When he was fighting against Aram-naharaim and Aramzobah, when Joab came back, and put twelve thousand of the Edomites to death, in the Valley of Salt. God, you have put us away from you, you have sent us in all directions, you have been angry; O be turned to us again.
1 Al Músico principal: sobre Susan-Heduth: Michtam de David, para enseñar, cuando tuvo guerra contra Aram-Naharaim y contra Aram de Soba, y volvió Joab, é hirió de Edom en el valle de las Salinas doce mil. OH Dios, tú nos has desechado, nos disipaste; te has airado: vuélvete á nosotros.
2 By the power of your hand the earth is shaking and broken; make it strong again, for it is moved.
2 Hiciste temblar la tierra, abrístela: sana sus quiebras, porque titubea.
3 You have made the people see hard times; you have given us the wine of shaking for our drink.
3 Has hecho ver á tu pueblo duras cosas: hicístenos beber el vino de agitación.
4 Give a safe place to those who have fear of you, where they may go in flight from before the bow. (Selah.)
4 Has dado á los que te temen bandera que alcen por la verdad. (Selah.)
5 So that your loved ones may be made safe, let your right hand be my salvation, and give me an answer.
5 Para que se libren tus amados, salva con tu diestra, y óyeme.
6 God has said in his holy place, I will be glad: I will make a division of Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will be measured out.
6 Dios pronunció por su santuario; yo me alegraré; partiré á Sichêm, y mediré el valle de Succoth.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
7 Mío es Galaad, y mío es Manasés; y Ephraim es la fortaleza de mi cabeza; Judá, mi legislador;
8 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I put out my shoe; over Philistia will a glad cry be sounded.
8 Moab, la vasija de mi lavatorio; sobre Edom echaré mi zapato: haz júbilo sobre mí, oh Palestina.
9 Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?
9 ¿Quién me llevará á la ciudad fortalecida? ¿quién me llevará hasta Idumea?
10 Have not you put us away, O God? and you have not gone out with our armies.
10 Ciertamente, tú, oh Dios, [que] nos habías desechado; y no salías, oh Dios, con nuestros ejércitos.
11 Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.
11 Danos socorro contra el enemigo, que vana es la salud de los hombres.
12 Through God we will do great things, for through him our haters will be crushed under our feet.
12 En Dios haremos proezas; y él hollará nuestros enemigos.

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 LIX)

    As the Scripture is wont to set mysteries of the Psalms on the titles, and to deck the brow of a Psalm with the high announcement of a Mystery, in order that we that are about to go in may know (when as it were upon the door-post we have read what within is doing) either of whom the house …

    But first passeth away the tribulation of this life, out of which He giveth us help, to whom we have said, "Give us help from tribulation." And all this life is indeed a tribulation to the understanding.
