BES Bible in Simple Spanish (2026)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Canto de ascenso. Que Israel diga ahora: «Mucho he sufrido desde mi juventud.
1 A Song of Ascents. Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:
2 Mucho he sufrido desde mi juventud, pero el sufrimiento no me ha vencido.
2 many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 Los que aran araron sobre mi espalda; largas fueron las heridas que hicieron».
3 The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.
4 El Señor es fiel; las cuerdas de los malvados han sido partidas.
4 Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
5 Que todos los que odian a Sión queden avergonzados y retrocedan.
5 Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
6 Que sean como la hierba de los techos, que se seca antes de crecer del todo.
6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
7 El segador no puede usarla, ni sirve para atar los tallos del grano.
7 with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
8 Los que pasan no dicen: «Que el Señor los bendiga; les damos nuestra bendición en el nombre del Señor».
8 Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in Yahweh’s name.”

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 CXXVIII)

    Felix the Martyr, truly Felix, i.e. "Happy" both in his name and his crown, whose birthday this is, despised the world. Was he, because he feared the Lord, thence happy, thence blessed, because his wife was as a fruitful vine upon the earth, and his children stood around his table?
