Notes on this text (1)
- Same Septuagint text as Brenton, with modernised spelling.
1 So they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tabernacle which David pitched for it; and they offered whole burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
1 ASÍ trajeron el arca de Dios, y asentáronla en medio de la tienda que David había tendido para ella: y ofrecieron holocaustos y pacíficos delante de Dios.
2 And David finished offering up whole burnt offerings and peace offerings, and blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
2 Y como David hubo acabado de ofrecer el holocausto y los pacíficos, bendijo al pueblo en el nombre de Jehová.
3 And he divided to every man of Israel (both men and women), to [every] man one baker’s loaf, and a cake.
3 Y repartió á todo Israel, así á hombres como á mujeres, á cada uno una torta de pan, y una pieza de carne, y un frasco de vino.
4 And he appointed before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, Levites to minister [and] lift up the voice, and to give thanks and praise the Lord God of Israel:
4 Y puso delante del arca de Jehová ministros de los Levitas, para que recordasen, y confesasen, y loasen á Jehová Dios de Israel:
5 Asaph [was] the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom: and Jeiel sounding with musical instruments, lutes [and] harps, and Asaph with cymbals:
5 Asaph el primero, el segundo después de él Zachârías, Jeiel, Semiramoth, Jehiel, Mathithías, Eliab, Benaías, Obed-edom, y Jehiel, con sus instrumentos de salterios y arpas; mas Asaph hacía sonido con címbalos:
6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests [sounding] continually with trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God in that day.
6 Benaías también y Jahaziel, sacerdotes, continuamente con trompetas delante del arca del pacto de Dios.
7 Then David first gave orders to praise the Lord by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
7 Entonces, en aquel día, dió David principio á celebrar á Jehová por mano de Asaph y de sus hermanos:
8 Song. Give thanks to the Lord, call upon him by his name, Make known his designs among the people.
8 Confesad á Jehová, invocad su nombre, haced notorias en los pueblos sus obras.
9 Sing [songs] to him, and sing hymns to him, Relate to all [people] his wonderful deeds, which the Lord has wrought.
9 Cantad á él, cantadle salmos; hablad de todas sus maravillas.
10 Praise his holy name, The heart that seeks his pleasure shall rejoice.
10 Gloriaos en su santo nombre; alégrese el corazón de los que buscan á Jehová.
11 Seek the Lord and be strong, Seek his face continually.
11 Buscad á Jehová y su fortaleza; buscad su rostro continuamente.
12 Remember his wonderful works which he has wrought, His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
12 Haced memoria de sus maravillas que ha obrado, de sus prodigios, y de los juicios de su boca,
13 [Ye] seed of Israel his servants, [Ye] seed of Jacob his chosen ones.
13 Oh vosotros, simiente de Israel su siervo, hijos de Jacob, sus escogidos.
14 He [is] the Lord our God; His judgments [are] in all the earth.
14 Jehová, él es nuestro Dios; sus juicios en toda la tierra.
15 Let us remember his covenant forever, His word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
15 Haced memoria de su alianza perpetuamente, y de la palabra que él mandó en mil generaciones;
16 Which he covenanted with Abraham, And his oath [sworn] to Isaac.
16 [Del pacto] que concertó con Abraham, y de su juramento á Isaac;
17 He confirmed it to Jacob for an ordinance, To Israel [as] an everlasting covenant,
17 El cual confirmó á Jacob por estatuto, y á Israel por pacto sempiterno,
18 Saying, To thee will I give the land of Canaan, The line of your inheritance:
18 Diciendo: A ti daré la tierra de Canaán, suerte de vuestra herencia;
19 When they were few in number, When they were but little, and dwelt as strangers in it;
19 Cuando erais pocos en número, pocos y peregrinos en ella;
20 And went from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people.
20 Y andaban de nación en nación, y de un reino á otro pueblo.
21 He suffered not a man to oppress them, And he reproved kings for their sakes,
21 No permitió que nadie los oprimiese: antes por amor de ellos castigó á los reyes.
22 Saying, Touch not my anointed ones, And deal not wrongfully with my prophets.
22 No toquéis, [dijo], á mis ungidos, ni hagáis mal á mis profetas.
23 Sing ye to the Lord, all the earth; Proclaim his salvation from day to day.
23 Cantad á Jehová, toda la tierra, anunciad de día en día su salud.
24 Declare among the nations his glory, His wondrous deeds among all peoples.
24 Cantad entre las gentes su gloria, y en todos los pueblos sus maravillas.
25 For the Lord [is] great, and greatly to be praised: He [is] to be feared above all gods.
25 Porque grande es Jehová, y digno de ser grandemente loado, y de ser temido sobre todos los dioses.
26 For all the gods of the nations [are] idols; But our God made the heavens.
26 Porque todos los dioses de los pueblos son nada: mas Jehová hizo los cielos.
27 Glory and praise [are] in his presence; Strength and rejoicing [are] in his place.
27 Poderío y hermosura delante de él; fortaleza y alegría en su morada.
28 Give to the Lord, ye families of the nations, Give to the Lord glory and strength.
28 Atribuid á Jehová, oh familias de los pueblos, atribuid á Jehová gloria y potencia.
29 Give to the Lord the glory [belonging] to his name: Take gifts and offer [them] before him; And worship the Lord in his holy courts.
29 Tributad á Jehová la gloria debida á su nombre: traed ofrenda, y venid delante de él; postraos delante de Jehová en la hermosura de su santidad.
30 Let the whole earth fear before him; Let the earth be established, and not be moved.
30 Temed en su presencia, toda la tierra: el mundo será aún establecido, para que no se conmueva.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth exult; And let them say among the nations, The Lord reigns.
31 Alégrense los cielos, y gócese la tierra, y digan en las naciones: Reina Jehová.
32 The sea with its fullness shall resound And the tree of the field, and all things in it.
32 Resuene la mar, y la plenitud de ella: alégrese el campo, y todo lo que contiene.
33 Then shall the trees of the wood rejoice before the Lord, For he is come to judge the earth.
33 Entonces cantarán los árboles de los bosques delante de Jehová, porque viene á juzgar la tierra.
34 Give thanks to the Lord, for [it is] good, For his mercy [is] forever.
34 Celebrad á Jehová, porque es bueno; porque su misericordia es eterna.
35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us, and rescue us from among the heathen, That we may praise thy holy name, And glory in thy praises.
35 Y decid: Sálvanos, oh Dios, salud nuestra: júntanos, y líbranos de las gentes, para que confesemos tu santo nombre, y nos gloriemos en tus alabanzas.
36 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel From everlasting and to everlasting: And all the people shall say, Amen. So they praised the Lord.
36 Bendito sea Jehová Dios de Israel, de eternidad á eternidad. Y dijo todo el pueblo, Amén: y alabó á Jehová.
37 And they left there Asaph and his brethren before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to minister before the ark continually, according to the service of each day: from day to day.
37 Y dejó allí, delante del arca del pacto de Jehová, á Asaph y á sus hermanos, para que ministrasen de continuo delante del arca, cada cosa en su día:
38 And Obed-edom and his brethren [were] sixty and eight; and Obed-edom the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, [were] to be doorkeepers.
38 Y á Obed-edom y á sus hermanos, sesenta y ocho; y á Obed-edom hijo de Jeduthún, y á Asa, por porteros:
39 And [they appointed] Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place in Gibeon,
39 Asimismo á Sadoc el sacerdote, y á sus hermanos los sacerdotes, delante del tabernáculo de Jehová en el alto que estaba en Gabaón,
40 to offer up whole burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of whole burnt offerings continually morning and evening, and according to all things written in the law of the Lord, which he commanded the children of Israel by Moses the servant of God.
40 Para que sacrificasen continuamente, á mañana y tarde, holocaustos á Jehová en el altar del holocausto, conforme á todo lo que está escrito en la ley de Jehová, que él prescribió á Israel;
41 And with him [were] Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest chosen out by name to praise the Lord, for his mercy [endures] forever.
41 Y con ellos á Hemán y á Jeduthún, y los otros escogidos declarados por sus nombres, para glorificar á Jehová, porque es eterna su misericordia;
42 And with them [there were] trumpets and cymbals to sound aloud, and musical instruments for the songs of God: and the sons of Jeduthun [were] at the gate.
42 Con ellos á Hemán y á Jeduthún con trompetas y címbalos para tañer, y con [otros] instrumentos de música de Dios; y á los hijos de Jeduthún, por porteros.
43 And all the people went every one to his home: and David returned to bless his house.
43 Y todo el pueblo se fué cada uno á su casa; y David se volvió para bendecir su casa.

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).
