1 Para el director de música. De David. Salmo. Dios a quien alabo, responde a mi oración.
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. God of my praise, don’t remain silent,
2 El pecador ha abierto la boca contra mí con engaños; ha dicho mentiras contra mí.
2 for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
3 Me rodean palabras de odio; me han hecho la guerra sin motivo.
3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
4 A cambio de mi amor me dan odio, pero yo me dedico a orar.
4 In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.
5 Me devuelven mal por bien y odio por mi amor.
5 They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Pon a un malvado sobre él; que tenga a su derecha a alguien que lo acuse.
6 Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand.
7 Cuando lo juzguen, que sea condenado; que su oración se convierta en pecado.
7 When he is judged, let him come out guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.
8 Que su vida sea corta y otro ocupe su cargo.
8 Let his days be few. Let another take his office.
9 Que sus hijos queden huérfanos y su esposa, viuda.
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 Que sus hijos vaguen y pidan comida; que los aparten de sus amigos.
10 Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins.
11 Que su acreedor se quede con todos sus bienes y otros disfruten del fruto de su trabajo.
11 Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.
12 Que nadie se compadezca de él ni ayude a sus hijos cuando haya muerto.
12 Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, neither let there be anyone to have pity on his fatherless children.
13 Que su descendencia desaparezca; que la generación siguiente olvide su nombre.
13 Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Que el Señor recuerde la maldad de sus antepasados y no perdone el pecado de su madre.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh. Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Que siempre los tenga presentes, para borrar de la tierra su recuerdo.
15 Let them be before Yahweh continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth;
16 Porque no tuvo misericordia: fue cruel con los humildes y los pobres, y planeó la muerte de quienes tenían el corazón destrozado.
16 because he didn’t remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.
17 Como le gustaba maldecir, que la maldición caiga sobre él; como no le gustaba bendecir, que la bendición quede lejos de él.
17 Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.
18 Se vistió de maldición como de una túnica; le entró en el cuerpo como agua y en los huesos como aceite.
18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.
19 Que lo cubra como la túnica que se pone, como el cinturón que lleva siempre.
19 Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.
20 Que así pague el Señor a mis enemigos, a quienes hablan mal de mí.
20 This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh, of those who speak evil against my soul.
21 Pero tú, Señor Dios, ayúdame por causa de tu nombre. Líbrame del peligro, porque tu misericordia es buena.
21 But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
22 Soy pobre y necesitado; tengo el corazón herido.
22 for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.
23 Desaparezco como una sombra que se alarga; me echan de mi lugar como a una langosta.
23 I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.
24 Mis rodillas están débiles por falta de alimento; no me queda grasa en el cuerpo.
24 My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.
25 Se burlan de mí; cuando me ven, sacuden la cabeza.
25 I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.
26 Ayúdame, Señor, Dios mío; sálvame por tu misericordia,
26 Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;
27 para que sepan que es obra de tu mano, que tú, Señor, lo has hecho.
27 that they may know that this is your hand; that you, Yahweh, have done it.
28 Ellos maldicen, pero tú bendices. Cuando me ataquen, avergüénzalos; que tu siervo se alegre.
28 They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.
29 Que mis enemigos se vistan de vergüenza y se cubran con ella como con una túnica.
29 Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
30 Alabaré mucho al Señor con mi boca; lo alabaré entre todo el pueblo.
30 I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.
31 Él siempre está a la derecha del pobre, para librarlo de quienes atentan contra su vida.
31 For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.

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).
I have not thought that the CVIII^th Psalm required an exposition; since I have already expounded it in the LVII^th Psalm, and in the LX^th, of the last divisions of which this Psalm consisteth.

… Judas to be, after being separated from her Enthymesis, was restored or recalled [to her former position]; but Judas was deprived [of his office], and cast out, while Matthias was ordained in his place, according to what is written, "And his bishopric let another take." They ought therefore to maintain that the twelfth Æon was cast out of the Pleroma, …
63. "I am poor and needy," yet better am I while in secret groanings I displease myself, and seek for Thy mercy, until what is lacking in me be renewed and made complete, even up to that peace of which the eye of the proud is ignorant.

O God, pass not over My praise in silence; for the mouth of the wicked, and the mouth of the deceitful, are opened against Me; they have spoken against Me with a treacherous tongue, they have compassed Me about also with words of hatred.
