Psalm 13 in LXXUP = Psalm 14 in RV1909.

LXXUP Updated Brenton English Septuagint
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 For the end, a Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in their devices; There is none that does goodness, there is not even so much as one.
14:1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. DIJO el necio en su corazón: No hay Dios. Corrompiéronse, hicieron obras abominables; no hay quien haga bien.
2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, To see if there were any that understood, or sought after God.
14:2 Jehová miró desde los cielos sobre los hijos de los hombres, por ver si había algún entendido, que buscara á Dios.
3 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, There is none that does good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulcher; With their tongues they have used deceit; The poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways; And the way of peace they have not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.
14:3 Todos declinaron, juntamente se han corrompido: no hay quien haga bien, no hay ni siquiera uno.
4 Will not all the workers of iniquity know, Who eat up my people as they would eat bread? They have not called upon the Lord.
14:4 ¿No tendrán conocimiento todos los que obran iniquidad, que devoran á mi pueblo [como] si pan comiesen, y á Jehová no invocaron?
5 There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; For God is in the righteous generation.
14:5 Allí temblaron de espanto; porque Dios está con la nación de los justos.
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, Because the Lord is his hope.
14:6 El consejo del pobre habéis escarnecido, por cuanto Jehová es su esperanza.
7 Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Zion? When the Lord brings back the captivity of his people, Let Jacob exult, and Israel be glad.
14:7 ¡Quién diese de Sión la salud de Israel! En tornando Jehová la cautividad de su pueblo, se gozará Jacob, y alegraráse Israel.

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). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 14.

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).
