RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 A Prayer. Of David. Let your ears be open to my voice, O Lord, and give me an answer; for I am poor and in need.
1 Oración de David. INCLINA, oh Jehová, tu oído, y óyeme; porque estoy afligido y menesteroso.
2 Keep my soul, for I am true to you; O my God, give salvation to your servant, whose hope is in you.
2 Guarda mi alma, porque soy pío: salva tú, oh Dios mío, á tu siervo que en ti, confía.
3 Have mercy on me, O Lord; for my cry goes up to you all the day.
3 Ten misericordia de mí, oh Jehová: porque á ti clamo todo el día.
4 Make glad the soul of your servant; for it is lifted up to you, O Lord.
4 Alegra el alma de tu siervo: porque á ti, oh Señor, levanto mi alma.
5 You are good, O Lord, and full of forgiveness; your mercy is great to all who make their cry to you.
5 Porque tú, Señor, eres bueno y perdonador, y grande en misericordia para con todos los que te invocan.
6 O Lord, give ear to my prayer; and take note of the sound of my requests.
6 Escucha, oh Jehová, mi oración, y está atento á la voz de mis ruegos.
7 In the day of my trouble I send up my cry to you; for you will give me an answer.
7 En el día de mi angustia te llamaré: porque tú me respondes.
8 There is no god like you, O Lord; there are no works like your works.
8 Oh Señor, ninguno hay como tú entre los dioses, [ni obras] que igualen tus obras.
9 Let all the nations whom you have made come and give worship to you, O Lord, giving glory to your name.
9 Todas las gentes que hiciste vendrán y se humillarán delante de ti, Señor; y glorificarán tu nombre.
10 For you are great, and do great works of wonder; you only are God.
10 Porque tú eres grande, y hacedor de maravillas: tú solo eres Dios.
11 Make your way clear to me, O Lord; I will go on my way in your faith: let my heart be glad in the fear of your name.
11 Enséñame, oh Jehová, tu camino; caminaré yo en tu verdad: consolida mi corazón para que tema tu nombre.
12 I will give you praise, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will give glory to your name for ever.
12 Te alabaré, oh Jehová Dios mío, con todo mi corazón; y glorificaré tu nombre para siempre.
13 For your mercy to me is great; you have taken my soul up from the deep places of the underworld.
13 Porque tu misericordia es grande para conmigo; y has librado mi alma del hoyo profundo.
14 O God, men of pride have come up against me, and the army of violent men would take my life; they have not put you before them.
14 Oh Dios, soberbios se levantaron contra mí, y conspiración de fuertes ha buscado mi alma, y no te pusieron delante de sí.
15 But you, O Lord, are a God full of pity and forgiveness, slow to get angry, great in mercy and wisdom.
15 Mas tú, Señor, Dios misericordioso y clemente, lento para la ira, y grande en misericordia y verdad;
16 O be turned to me and have mercy on me: give your strength to your servant, and your salvation to the son of her who is your servant.
16 Mírame, y ten misericordia de mí: da tu fortaleza á tu siervo, y guarda al hijo de tu sierva.
17 Give me a sign for good; so that my haters may see it and be shamed; because you, Lord, have been my help and comfort.
17 Haz conmigo señal para bien, y véanla los que me aborrecen, y sean avergonzados; porque tú, Jehová, me ayudaste, y me consolaste.

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 LXXXV)

    Its title is, "A Psalm for the end, to the sons of Core." Let us understand no other end than that of which the Apostle speaks: for, "Christ is the end of the law." Therefore when at the head of the title of the Psalm he placed the words, "for the end," he directed our heart to Christ.

  2. Quotes verse 86:15 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book I, Chapters XIV–XVIII)

  3. Quotes verse 86:8 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXVII)

    … so too, the Old Testament uses in the same way to correct the souls of the erring, by putting together in a way of comparison things that cannot be compared; as when it saith, "Among the gods there is none like unto Thee, O Lord:" and again, "There is no god like our God." Now some affirm, that Christ said …

  4. Quotes verse 86:4 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon II)

    … I may say of it, think ye that in this "body which presseth down the soul," I shall be able to say (in order that I may speak to you something worthy of the subject), "O Lord, I have lifted up my soul unto Thee." May He assist me, may He lift it up with me.
