Notes on this text (2)
- Square brackets mark words Brenton supplied for English sense.
- Old Testament only (no New Testament). First printed 1844; the 1851 edition added the deuterocanonical books.
1 In that day they shall sing this song in the land of Judea; Behold a strong city; and he shall make salvation [its] wall and bulwark.
1 EN aquel día cantarán este cantar en tierra de Judá: Fuerte ciudad tenemos: salud puso [Dios] por muros y antemuro.
2 Open ye the gates, let the nation enter that keeps righteousness, and keeps truth,
2 Abrid las puertas, y entrará la gente justa, guardadora de verdades.
3 supporting truth, and keeping peace: for on thee, O Lord,
3 Tú [le] guardarás en completa paz, [cuyo] pensamiento en [ti] persevera; porque en ti se ha confiado.
4 they have trusted with confidence for ever, the great, the eternal God;
4 Confiad en Jehová perpetuamente: porque en el Señor Jehová está la fortaleza de los siglos.
5 who hast humbled and brought down them that dwell on high, thou shalt cast down strong cities, and bring them to the ground.
5 Porque derribó los que moraban en lugar sublime: humilló la ciudad ensalzada, humillóla hasta la tierra, derribóla hasta el polvo.
6 And the feet of the meek and lowly shall trample them.
6 Hollarála pie, los pies del afligido, los pasos de los menesterosos.
7 The way of the godly is made straight: the way of the godly is also prepared.
7 El camino del justo es rectitud: Tú, Recto, pesas el camino del justo.
8 For the way of the Lord is judgment: we have hoped in thy name, and on the remembrance [of thee],
8 También en el camino de tus juicios, oh Jehová, te hemos esperado: á tu nombre y á tu memoria es el deseo del alma.
9 which our soul longs for: my spirit seeks thee very early in the morning, O God, for thy commandments are a light on the earth: learn righteousness, ye that dwell upon the earth.
9 Con mi alma te he deseado en la noche; y en tanto que me durare el espíritu en medio de mí, madrugaré á buscarte: porque luego que hay juicios tuyos en la tierra, los moradores del mundo aprenden justicia.
10 For the ungodly one is put down: no one who will not learn righteousness on the earth, shall be able to do the truth: let the ungodly be taken away, that he see not the glory of the Lord.
10 Alcanzará piedad el impío, y no aprenderá justicia; en tierra de rectitud hará iniquidad, y no mirará á la majestad de Jehová.
11 O Lord, thine arm is exalted, yet they knew it not: but when they know they shall be ashamed: jealousy shall seize upon an untaught nation, and now fire shall devour the adversaries.
11 Jehová, bien que se levante tu mano, no ven: verán [al cabo], y se avergonzarán los que envidian á [tu] pueblo; y á tus enemigos fuego los consumirá.
12 O Lord our God, give us peace: for thou hast rendered to us all things.
12 Jehová, tú nos depararás paz; porque también obraste en nosotros todas nuestras obras.
13 O Lord our God, take possession of us: O Lord, we know not [any] other beside thee: we name thy name.
13 Jehová Dios nuestro, señores se han enseñoreado de nosotros fuera de ti; mas en ti solamente nos acordaremos de tu nombre.
14 But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians by any means raise [them] up: therefore thou hast brought [wrath] upon [them], and slain [them], and hast taken away every male of them. Bring more evils upon them, O Lord;
14 Muertos [son], no vivirán: han fallecido, no resucitarán: porque los visitaste, y destruiste, y deshiciste toda su memoria.
15 bring more evils on the glorious ones of the earth.
15 Añadiste al pueblo, oh Jehová, añadiste al pueblo: hicístete glorioso: extendíste[lo] [hasta] todos los términos de la tierra.
16 Lord, in affliction I remembered thee; thy chastening was to us with small affliction.
16 Jehová, en la tribulación te buscaron: derramaron oración [cuando] los castigaste.
17 And as a woman in travail draws nigh to be delivered, [and] cries out in her pain; so have we been to thy beloved.
17 Como la preñada [cuando] se acerca el parto gime, y da gritos con sus dolores, así hemos sido delante de ti, oh Jehová.
18 We have conceived, O Lord, because of thy fear, and have been in pain, and have brought forth the breath of thy salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth: we shall not fall, but all that dwell upon the land shall fall.
18 Concebimos, tuvimos dolores de parto, parimos como viento: salud ninguna hicimos en la tierra, ni cayeron los moradores del mundo.
19 The dead shall rise, and they that are in the tombs shall be raised, and they that are in the earth shall rejoice: for the dew from thee is healing to them: but the land of the ungodly shall perish.
19 Tus muertos vivirán; [junto con] mi cuerpo muerto resucitarán. ¡Despertad y cantad, moradores del polvo! porque tu rocío, [cual] rocío de hortalizas; y la tierra echará los muertos.
20 Go, my people, enter into thy closets, shut thy door, hide thyself for a little season, until the anger of the Lord have passed away.
20 Anda, pueblo mío, éntrate en tus aposentos, cierra tras ti tus puertas; escóndete un poquito, por un momento, en tanto que pasa la ira.
21 For, behold, the Lord is bringing wrath from [his] holy place upon the dwellers on the earth: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall not cover her slain.
21 Porque he aquí que Jehová sale de su lugar, para visitar la maldad del morador de la tierra contra él; y la tierra descubrirá sus sangres, y no más encubrirá sus muertos.

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).
For it is written, "Enter into thy secret chambers for a little time, until my wrath and fury pass away; and I will remember a propitious day, and will raise you up out of your graves." Blessed are we, beloved, if we keep the commandments of God in the harmony of love; that so through love our sins may be …
… joy of this nature at the resurrection of the just, when he says: "The dead shall rise again; those, too, who are in the tombs shall arise, and those who are in the earth shall rejoice. For the dew from Thee is health to them." And this again Ezekiel also says: "Behold, I will open your tombs, and will bring …
For as in a good sense it is said, "The zeal of Thine house hath consumed me," so in a bad sense it is said, "Zeal hath possessed the uninstructed people, and now fire shall consume the enemies." "And now," that is to say, not the fire of the last judgment.

Heed not those who say that this body is not raised; for it is raised: and Esaias is witness, when he says: The dead shall arise, and they that are in the tombs shall awake: and according to Daniel, Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall arise, some to everlasting life, and some to …
