WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Soy el hombre que ha sufrido bajo la vara de su ira.
1 I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
2 Él me ha hecho caminar en la oscuridad, donde no hay luz.
2 He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.
3 Sí, una y otra vez vuelve su mano contra mí, todo el día.
3 Surely he turns his hand against me again and again all day long.
4 Ha consumido mi carne y mi piel; ha quebrado mis huesos.
4 He has made my flesh and my skin old. He has broken my bones.
5 Ha levantado un muro contra mí y me ha encerrado en un dolor amargo.
5 He has built against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
6 Me ha hecho vivir en lugares oscuros, como los que murieron hace mucho tiempo.
6 He has made me dwell in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
7 Me ha rodeado con un muro para que no pueda salir; ha hecho muy pesada mi cadena.
7 He has walled me about, so that I can’t go out. He has made my chain heavy.
8 Aunque clamo por ayuda, no deja que mi oración llegue a él.
8 Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.
9 Ha cerrado mis caminos con un muro de piedras talladas y ha torcido mis senderos.
9 He has walled up my ways with cut stone. He has made my paths crooked.
10 Es como un oso que me acecha, como un león escondido.
10 He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in hiding.
11 Me ha hecho desviar del camino y me ha despedazado; me ha dejado desolado.
11 He has turned away my path, and pulled me in pieces. He has made me desolate.
12 Ha tensado su arco y me ha puesto como blanco de sus flechas.
12 He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13 Ha lanzado sus flechas hasta lo más profundo de mi cuerpo.
13 He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys.
14 Todos los pueblos se burlan de mí; soy el tema de sus canciones de burla todo el día.
14 I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all day long.
15 Ha llenado mi vida de dolor y me ha dado raíz amarga en abundancia.
15 He has filled me with bitterness. He has stuffed me with wormwood.
16 Me ha quebrado los dientes con piedras trituradas y me ha hecho inclinarme hasta el polvo.
16 He has also broken my teeth with gravel. He has covered me with ashes.
17 Mi alma está lejos de la paz; ya no recuerdo el bien.
17 You have removed my soul far away from peace. I forgot prosperity.
18 Y dije: «Se han acabado mis fuerzas y mi esperanza en el Señor».
18 I said, “My strength has perished, along with my expectation from Yahweh.”
19 Recuerda mi aflicción y mi andar errante, la raíz amarga y el veneno.
19 Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the bitterness.
20 Mi alma todavía lo recuerda y se hunde dentro de mí.
20 My soul still remembers them, and is bowed down within me.
21 Pero esto recuerdo, y por eso tengo esperanza:
21 This I recall to my mind; therefore I have hope.
22 Por el amor del Señor no hemos sido destruidos, porque sus misericordias no tienen límites.
22 It is because of Yahweh’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his mercies don’t fail.
23 Son nuevas cada mañana; grande es tu fidelidad.
23 They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.
24 Me dije: «El Señor es mi herencia; por eso tendré esperanza en él».
24 “Yahweh is my portion,” says my soul. “Therefore I will hope in him.”
25 El Señor es bueno con los que lo esperan, con quienes lo buscan.
25 Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

28 Que se siente solo y en silencio, porque el Señor le ha puesto ese yugo.
28 Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it on him.
29 Que ponga la boca en el polvo; quizá aún haya esperanza.
29 Let him put his mouth in the dust, if it is so that there may be hope.
30 Que vuelva el rostro hacia quien lo golpea y se llene de vergüenza.
30 Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him. Let him be filled full of reproach.
31 Porque el Señor no abandona al hombre para siempre.
31 For the Lord will not cast off forever.
32 Aunque cause dolor, también tendrá compasión conforme a su gran amor.
32 For though he causes grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
33 Porque no le agrada afligir ni causar dolor a los seres humanos.
33 For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
34 Que un hombre aplaste bajo sus pies a todos los prisioneros de la tierra,
34 To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
35 que prive a alguien de sus derechos ante el Altísimo,
35 to turn away the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
36 o que perjudique a alguien en su causa: nada de eso le agrada al Señor.
36 to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn’t approve.
37 ¿Quién puede decir algo y hacer que se cumpla si el Señor no lo ha ordenado?
37 Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn’t command it?
38 ¿No salen de la boca del Altísimo tanto el mal como el bien?
38 Doesn’t evil and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?
39 ¿De qué puede quejarse un hombre que vive, cuando recibe el castigo de su pecado?

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).
