1 Para el director de música. Salmo de David. En ti, Señor, he puesto mi esperanza; no permitas que quede avergonzado. Sálvame por tu justicia.
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Escúchame y líbrame pronto del peligro; sé mi roca fuerte, mi fortaleza donde pueda estar a salvo.
2 Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.
3 Tú eres mi roca y mi torre fuerte; ve delante de mí y guíame por amor a tu nombre.
3 For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
4 Sácame de la red que me han tendido a escondidas, porque tú eres mi fuerza.
4 Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.
5 En tus manos entrego mi espíritu; tú eres mi salvador, Señor, Dios siempre fiel.
5 Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, Yahweh, God of truth.
6 Odio a los que siguen a dioses falsos, pero mi esperanza está en el Señor.
6 I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in Yahweh.
7 Me alegraré y me deleitaré en tu amor fiel, porque has visto mi angustia y has tenido compasión de mí en mis penas.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.
8 No me has entregado en manos de mi enemigo; has puesto mis pies en un lugar amplio.
8 You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.
9 Ten misericordia de mí, Señor, porque estoy angustiado; mis ojos se consumen de dolor, y mi alma y mi cuerpo se debilitan.
9 Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.
10 Mi vida transcurre en tristeza y mis años en llanto; mi pecado casi ha agotado mis fuerzas, y mis huesos se consumen.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.
11 Por culpa de mis enemigos, soy una vergüenza para mis vecinos; provoco burlas y temor a mis amigos. Los que me ven en la calle huyen de mí.
11 Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, a horror to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.
12 Me han olvidado como a un muerto; soy como una vasija rota.
12 I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.
13 He oído mentiras contra mí; hay terror por todas partes. Se reúnen contra mí y hacen planes para quitarme la vida.
13 For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.
14 Pero yo confío en ti, Señor; digo: «Tú eres mi Dios».
14 But I trust in you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my God.”
15 El curso de mi vida está en tus manos; líbrame de mis enemigos y de quienes me persiguen.
15 My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
16 Que tu siervo vea la luz de tu rostro; sálvame por tu amor fiel.
16 Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.
17 Señor, no permitas que quede avergonzado, porque he orado a ti. Que los pecadores se avergüencen y queden en silencio en el lugar de los muertos.
17 Let me not be disappointed, Yahweh, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol.
18 Que callen los labios mentirosos, que hablan mal del justo con orgullo y desprecio.
18 Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.
19 ¡Qué grande es tu favor! Lo has guardado para quienes te adoran y lo has mostrado ante todos a quienes confían en ti.
19 Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!
20 Los guardarás en tu casa, a salvo de los planes humanos; los esconderás en tu tienda, lejos de las lenguas llenas de ira.
20 In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.
21 Alabado sea el Señor, porque me ha mostrado su maravilloso favor en una ciudad fortificada.
21 Praise be to Yahweh, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.
22 Yo dije lleno de temor: «He quedado fuera de tu vista». Pero tú escuchaste mi súplica cuando clamé a ti.
22 As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.
23 Amen al Señor, todos los que le son fieles. El Señor guarda del peligro a los que le son leales y da a los orgullosos el castigo que merecen.
23 Oh love Yahweh, all you his saints! Yahweh preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.
24 Sean valientes y cobren ánimo, todos los que esperan en el Señor.
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in Yahweh.

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 XXX)

    To the end, a Psalm of the joy of the Resurrection, and the change, the renewing of the body to an immortal state, and not only of the Lord, but also of the whole Church.

  3. Quotes verse 31:19 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XXI, Chapters 17–19)

    However, they think that the divine oracles are not altogether silent on this point; for they ask to what purpose is it said, "How great is Thy goodness which Thou hast hidden for them that fear Thee," if it be not to teach us that the great and hidden sweetness of God's mercy is concealed in order that men may …

  4. Quotes verse 31:19 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XXI, Chapters 22–24)

    But that these perversely compassionate persons may see what is the purport of these words, "How great is the abundance of Thy sweetness, Lord, which Thou hast hidden for them that fear Thee," let them read what follows: "And Thou hast perfected it for them that hope in Thee." For what means, "Thou hast hidden it for them that fear …
