WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Salmo. De Asaf. En verdad, Dios es bueno con Israel, con los limpios de corazón.
1 A Psalm by Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
2 Pero yo casi perdí el equilibrio; estuve a punto de resbalar,
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.
3 porque tuve envidia de los orgullosos al ver cómo prosperaban los malvados.
3 For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 No sufren dolor; sus cuerpos están gordos y fuertes.
4 For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.
5 No pasan por angustias como los demás ni comparten sus desgracias.
5 They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.
6 Por eso llevan el orgullo como un collar y se visten de violencia como de una túnica.
6 Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.
7 Sus ojos sobresalen por la gordura; tienen más de lo que su corazón desea.
7 Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.
8 Sus pensamientos están llenos de planes malvados; desde sus puestos de poder hablan de actos crueles.
8 They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.
9 Su boca se alza hasta el cielo y su lengua recorre la tierra.
9 They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.
10 Por eso tienen pan de sobra y nunca les falta agua.
10 Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.
11 Dicen: «¿Cómo verá esto el Señor? ¿Acaso sabe algo el Altísimo?».
11 They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12 Así son los pecadores: siempre les va bien y sus riquezas aumentan.
12 Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.
13 En vano he mantenido limpio mi corazón y me he lavado las manos en inocencia,
13 Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence,
14 porque sufro todo el día y cada mañana recibo castigo.
14 For all day long I have been plagued, and punished every morning.
15 Si hubiera hablado así, habría traicionado a tus hijos.
15 If I had said, “I will speak thus”, behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.
16 Traté de entender la razón de esto, pero me resultaba agotador,
16 When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—
17 hasta que entré en el santuario de Dios y vi el fin de los malvados.
17 until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.
18 Tú los pones en lugares resbaladizos y los haces caer en la destrucción.
18 Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.
19 ¡Qué pronto quedan destruidos! El terror acaba con ellos.
19 How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.
20 Desaparecen como un sueño al despertar, como una imagen que se olvida cuando termina el sueño.
20 As a dream when one wakes up, so, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
21 Mi corazón se llenó de amargura y el dolor me hirió por dentro.
21 For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.
22 Yo era necio y no entendía; era como una bestia ante ti.
22 I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.
23 Sin embargo, siempre estoy contigo; tú me has tomado de la mano derecha.
23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.
24 Tu sabiduría me guiará y después me pondrás en un lugar de honor.
24 You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25 ¿A quién tengo en el cielo sino a ti? Si te tengo a ti, no deseo nada en la tierra.
25 Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.
26 Mi cuerpo y mi corazón se consumen, pero Dios es la roca de mi corazón y mi herencia para siempre.
26 My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27 Quienes se alejan de ti serán destruidos; tú acabas con todos los que te son infieles.
27 For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you.
28 Pero para mí es bueno acercarme a Dios. Confío en el Señor Dios para contar todas sus obras.
28 But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord Yahweh my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.

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 LXXII)

    indeed this Psalm's title is fore-noted: but things are spoken of therein which could not apply to that Salomon king of Israel after the flesh, according to those things which holy Scripture speaketh concerning him: but they can most pertinently apply to the Lord Christ.

  2. Quotes verse 73:9 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book IV, Chapters VIII–XII)

    But whither ascend ye, when ye are on high, and set your mouth against the heavens? Descend that ye may ascend, and ascend to God.

  3. Quotes verse 73:28 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book X, Chapters 4–6)

    … and since works of mercy have no other object than the relief of distress or the conferring of happiness, and since there is no happiness apart from that good of which it is said, "It is good for me to be very near to God," it follows that the whole redeemed city, that is to say, the congregation or community …

  4. Quotes verse 73:28 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XII, Chapters 7–9)

    … love of God is shed abroad in their hearts by the Holy Ghost, which is given unto them." And that not only of men, but primarily and principally of angels it is true, as it is written, "It is good to draw near to God." And those who have this good in common, have, both with Him to whom they …
