1 El hombre nacido de mujer vive pocos días, llenos de sufrimiento.
1 “Man, who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.
2 Brota como una flor y lo cortan; pasa como una sombra y desaparece.
2 He grows up like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t continue.
3 ¿En alguien así fijas tu atención para juzgarlo?
3 Do you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?
4 ¡Ojalá pudiera salir algo puro de lo impuro! Pero no es posible.
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.
5 Sus días están fijados y tú sabes el número de sus meses; has puesto un límite que no puede pasar.
5 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass.
6 Deja de mirarlo y de castigarlo, para que disfrute al terminar su día, como un trabajador a sueldo.
6 Look away from him, that he may rest, until he accomplishes, as a hireling, his day.
7 Un árbol tiene esperanza: aunque lo corten, volverá a brotar y sus ramas no dejarán de crecer.
7 “For there is hope for a tree if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease.
8 Aunque su raíz envejezca en la tierra y su tronco cortado muera en el polvo,
8 Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,
9 al sentir el agua volverá a brotar y echará ramas como una planta joven.
9 yet through the scent of water it will bud, and sprout boughs like a plant.
10 Pero el hombre muere y desaparece; da su último suspiro, ¿y dónde está?
10 But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?
11 Como se agota el agua de un estanque y un río queda seco,
11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes and dries up,
12 así el hombre se acuesta y no vuelve a levantarse. Mientras existan los cielos, no despertará ni saldrá de su sueño.
12 so man lies down and doesn’t rise. Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.
13 ¡Ojalá me escondieras en el lugar de los muertos, hasta que pasara tu ira! ¡Ojalá fijaras un tiempo para volver a acordarte de mí!
13 “Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would keep me secret until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time and remember me!
14 Si un hombre muere, ¿volverá a vivir? Esperaría todos los días de mi sufrimiento hasta que llegara mi liberación.
14 If a man dies, will he live again? I would wait all the days of my warfare, until my release should come.
15 Tú me llamarías y yo te respondería; desearías volver a ver la obra de tus manos.
15 You would call, and I would answer you. You would have a desire for the work of your hands.
16 Pero ahora cuentas mis pasos y no pasas por alto mi pecado.
16 But now you count my steps. Don’t you watch over my sin?
17 Guardas mis faltas en una bolsa bien atada y mantienes mi pecado encerrado.
17 My disobedience is sealed up in a bag. You fasten up my iniquity.
18 Una montaña se derrumba y queda hecha polvo; una roca se mueve de su lugar.
18 “But the mountain falling comes to nothing. The rock is removed out of its place.
19 El agua desgasta las piedras y las corrientes arrastran el polvo de la tierra. Así acabas con la esperanza del hombre.
19 The waters wear the stones. The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth. So you destroy the hope of man.
20 Lo vences para siempre y se va; cambias su rostro con la muerte y lo despides.
20 You forever prevail against him, and he departs. You change his face, and send him away.
21 Sus hijos reciben honores y él no lo sabe; los humillan y él no se entera.
21 His sons come to honor, and he doesn’t know it. They are brought low, but he doesn’t perceive it of them.
22 Solo siente el dolor de su cuerpo y la tristeza de su alma.
22 But his flesh on him has pain, and his soul within him mourns.”

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).
For it comes from the righteous anger of God, whereof the Scriptures say, "Man, that is born of woman, is of few days and full of anger:" for the anger of God is not like that of man, the disturbance of an excited man, but the calm fixing of righteous punishment.

Again, the rod of Aaron, though cut off and dead, budded, without the scent of waters, and though under a roof, sprouted forth into blossoms as in the fields; and though set in dry places, yielded in one night the flowers and fruit of plants watered for many years.

he says, For if a man die, he shall live again; and immediately he adds, I will wait till I be made again; and again elsewhere, Who shall raise up on the earth my skin, which endures these things.
