Notes on this text (1)
- Same Septuagint text as Brenton, with modernised spelling.
1 Weary in my soul, I will pour my words with groans upon him: I will speak being straitened in the bitterness of my soul.
1 ESTÁ mi alma aburrida de mi vida: daré yo suelta á mi queja sobre mí, hablaré con amargura de mi alma.
2 And I will say to the Lord, Do not teach me to be impious; And wherefore hast thou thus judged me?
2 Diré á Dios: no me condenes; hazme entender por qué pleiteas conmigo.
3 Is it good before thee if I be unrighteous? For thou hast disowned the work of thy hands, And attended to the counsel of the ungodly.
3 ¿Parécete bien que oprimas, que deseches la obra de tus manos, y que resplandezcas sobre el consejo de los impíos?
4 Or dost thou see as a mortal sees? Or wilt thou look as a man sees?
4 ¿Tienes tú ojos de carne? ¿ves tú como ve el hombre?
5 Or is thy life human, Or thy years [the years] of a man,
5 ¿Son tus días como los días del hombre, ó tus años como los tiempos humanos,
6 That thou hast inquired into mine iniquity, And searched out my sins?
6 Para que inquieras mi iniquidad, y busques mi pecado,
7 For thou knowest that I have not committed iniquity: But who is he that can deliver out of thy hands?
7 Sobre saber tú que no soy impío, y que no hay quien de tu mano libre?
8 Thy hands have formed me and made me; Afterward thou didst change [thy mind], and smite me.
8 Tus manos me formaron y me compusieron todo en contorno: ¿y así me deshaces?
9 Remember that thou hast made me [as] clay, And thou dost turn me again to earth.
9 Acuérdate ahora que como á lodo me diste forma: ¿y en polvo me has de tornar?
10 Hast thou not poured me out like milk, And curdled me like cheese?
10 ¿No me fundiste como leche, y como un queso me cuajaste?
11 And thou didst clothe me with skin and flesh, And frame me with bones and sinews.
11 Vestísteme de piel y carne, y cubrísteme de huesos y nervios.
12 And thou didst bestow upon me life and mercy, And thy oversight has preserved my spirit.
12 Vida y misericordia me concediste, y tu visitación guardó mi espíritu.
13 Having these things in thyself, I know that thou canst do all things; For nothing is impossible with thee.
13 Y estas cosas tienes guardadas en tu corazón; yo sé que esto está cerca de ti.
14 And if I should sin, thou watchest me; And thou hast not cleared me from iniquity.
14 Si pequé, tú me has observado, y no me limpias de mi iniquidad.
15 Or if I should be ungodly, woe is me: And if I should be righteous, I cannot lift myself up, For I am full of dishonor.
15 Si fuere malo, ¡ay de mí! y si fuere justo, no levantaré mi cabeza, estando harto de deshonra, y de verme afligido.
16 For I am hunted like a lion for slaughter; For again thou hast changed and art terribly destroying me;
16 Y subirá de punto, [pues] me cazas como á león, y tornas á hacer en mí maravillas.
17 Renewing against me my torture: And thou hast dealt with me in great anger, And thou hast brought trials upon me.
17 Renuevas contra mí tus plagas, y aumentas conmigo tu furor, remudándose sobre mí ejércitos.
18 Why then didst thou bring me out of the womb? And why did I not die, and no eye see me,
18 ¿Por qué me sacaste de la matriz? Habría yo espirado, y no me vieran ojos.
19 And I become as if I had not been? For why was I not carried from the womb to the grave?
19 Fuera, como si nunca hubiera sido, llevado desde el vientre á la sepultura.
20 Is not the time of my life short? Suffer me to rest a little,
20 ¿No son mis días poca cosa? Cesa pues, y déjame, para que me conforte un poco.
21 Before I go whence I shall not return, To a land of darkness and gloominess;
21 Antes que vaya para no volver, á la tierra de tinieblas y de sombra de muerte;
22 To a land of perpetual darkness, where there is no light, Neither [can anyone] see the life of mortals.
22 Tierra de oscuridad, lóbrega como sombra de muerte, sin orden, y que aparece como [la] oscuridad [misma].

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).
Who knitted us with sinews and bones, and clothed us with skin and flesh, and, as soon as the child was born, brought streams of milk out of the breasts?
