WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Masquil. De David. Oración cuando estaba en la cueva. Clamé al Señor en voz alta; con mi voz le pedí su gracia.
1 Masquil de David: Oración que hizo cuando estaba en la cueva. CON mi voz clamaré á Jehová, con mi voz pediré á Jehová misericordia.
1 A contemplation by David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer. I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.
2 Puse ante él todos mis dolores y le conté toda mi angustia.
2 Delante de él derramaré mi querella; delante de él denunciaré mi angustia.
2 I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.
3 Cuando mi espíritu está abatido, tú observas mis pasos. Han escondido redes en el camino por donde voy.
3 Cuando mi espíritu se angustiaba dentro de mí, tú conociste mi senda. En el camino en que andaba, me escondieron lazo.
3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my route. On the path in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.
4 Miré a mi derecha y no vi a ningún amigo. No tenía un lugar seguro; a nadie le importaba mi vida.
4 Miraba á la mano derecha, y observaba; mas no había quien me conociese; no tuve refugio, no había quien volviese por mi vida.
4 Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.
5 He clamado a ti, Señor, y he dicho: «Tú eres mi refugio y mi herencia en la tierra de los vivos».
5 Clamé á ti, oh Jehová, dije: Tú eres mi esperanza, y mi porción en la tierra de los vivientes.
5 I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
6 Escucha mi clamor, pues estoy muy abatido. Líbrame de mis enemigos, que son más fuertes que yo.
6 Escucha mi clamor, que estoy muy afligido; líbrame de los que me persiguen, porque son más fuertes que yo.
6 Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.
7 Saca mi alma de la prisión, para que alabe tu nombre. Los justos te alabarán por lo que has hecho por mí, pues me has dado una recompensa completa.
7 Saca mi alma de la cárcel para que alabe tu nombre: Me rodearán los justos, porque tú me serás propicio.
7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me.

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 CXLI)

    The Psalm which we have just sung is in many parts somewhat obscure. When by the help of the Lord what has been said shall begin to be expounded and explained, ye will see that ye are hearing things which ye knew already.

    "Blessed are the meek, for they shall by inheritance possess the earth:" that earth, I suppose, of which it is said in the Psalm, "Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living." For it signifies a certain firmness and stability of the perpetual inheritance, where the soul, by means of a good disposition, rests, as it …

  4. Quotes verse 142:4 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapter XI — 1-54)

    But in another place he says, "Refuge hath failed me, and there is no one that seeketh after my soul." Those who sought, and those who did not, are blamed alike.
