Brenton Brenton's English Septuagint
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Aleph. I am the man that sees poverty, through the rod of his wrath upon me.
1 YO soy el hombre que ha visto aflicción en la vara de su enojo.
2 He has taken me, and led me away into darkness, and not [into] light.
2 Guióme y llevóme en tinieblas, mas no en luz.
3 Nay, against me has he turned his hand all the day.
3 Ciertamente contra mí volvió y revolvió su mano todo el día.
4 He has made old my flesh and my skin; he has broken my bones.
4 Hizo envejecer mi carne y mi piel; quebrantó mis huesos.
5 Beth. He has built against me, and compassed my head, and brought travail [upon me].
5 Edificó contra mí, y cercóme de tósigo y de trabajo.
6 He has set me in dark places, as them that have long been dead.
6 Asentóme en oscuridades, como los ya muertos de mucho tiempo.
7 He has builded against me, and I cannot come forth: he has made my brazen [chain] heavy.
7 Cercóme por todos lados, y no puedo salir; agravó mis grillos.
8 Gimel. Yea, [though] I cry and shout, he shuts out my prayer.
8 Aun cuando clamé y dí voces, cerro [los oídos á] mi oración.
9 Daleth. He has built up my ways, he has hedged my paths;
9 Cercó mis caminos con piedra tajada, torció mis senderos.
10 he has troubled me, [as] a she-bear lying in wait: he is to me [as] a lion in secret places.
10 Como oso que acecha fué para mí, como león en escondrijos.
11 He pursued [me] after I departed, and brought me to a stand: he has utterly ruined me.
11 Torció mis caminos, y depedazóme; tornóme asolado.
12 He. He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
12 Su arco entesó, y púsome como blanco á la saeta.
13 He has caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
13 Hizo entrar en mis riñones las saetas de su aljaba.
14 I became a laughing-stock to all my people; and their song all the day.
14 Fuí escarnio á todo mi pueblo, canción de ellos todos los días.
15 Vau. He has filled me with bitterness, he has drenched me with gall.
15 Hartóme de amarguras, embriagóme de ajenjos.
16 And he has dashed out my teeth with gravel, he has fed me with ashes.
16 Quebróme los dientes con cascajo, cubrióme de ceniza.
17 He has also removed my soul from peace: I forgot prosperity.
17 Y mi alma se alejó de la paz, olvidéme del bien.
18 Therefore my success has perished, and my hope from the Lord.
18 Y dije: Pereció mi fortaleza, y mi esperanza de Jehová.
19 Zain. I remembered by reason of my poverty, and because of persecution my bitterness and gall shall be remembered;
19 Acuérdate de mi aflicción y de mi abatimiento, del ajenjo y de la hiel.
20 and my soul shall meditate with me.
20 Tendrálo aún en memoria mi alma, porque en mí está humillada.
21 This will I lay up in my heart, therefore will I endure.
21 Esto reduciré á mi corazón, por lo cual esperaré. 22 [Es por] la misericordia de Jehová que no somos consumidos, porque nunca decayeron sus misericordias. 23 Nuevas son cada mañana; grande es tu fidelidad. 24 Mi parte es Jehová, dijo mi alma; por tanto en él esperaré.
21a Heth. [It is] the mercies of the Lord, that he has not failed me, because his compassions are not exhausted. Pity [us], O Lord, early [every] month: for we are not brought to an end, because his compassions are not exhausted.
·
21b [They are] new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
·
21c The Lord is my portion, says my soul; therefore will I wait for him.
·
25 Teth. The Lord is good to them that wait for him: the soul which shall seek him
25 Bueno es Jehová á los que en él esperan, al alma que le buscare.
26 [is] good, and shall wait for, and quietly expect salvation of the Lord.
26 Bueno es esperar callando en la salud de Jehová.
27 Teth. [It is] good for a man when he bears a yoke in his youth.
27 Bueno es al hombre, si llevare el yugo desde su mocedad.
28 He will sit alone, and be silent, because he has borne [it] upon him.
28 Sentaráse solo, y callará, porque lo llevó sobre sí. 29 Pondrá su boca en el polvo, por si quizá hay esperanza.
30 Jod. He will give [his] cheek to him that smites him: he will be filled full with reproaches.
30 Dará la mejilla al que le hiriere; hartaráse de afrenta.
31 For the Lord will not reject for ever.
31 Porque el Señor no desechará para siempre:
32 Chaph. For he that has brought down will pity, and [that] according to the abundance of his mercy.
32 Antes si afligiere, también se compadecerá según la multitud de sus misericordias.
33 He has not answered [in anger] from his heart, though he has brought low the children of a man.
33 Porque no aflige ni congoja de su corazón á los hijos de los hombres.
34 Lamed. To bring down under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
34 Desmenuzar bajo de sus pies todos los encarcelados de la tierra,
35 to turn aside the judgment of a man before the face of the Most High,
35 Hacer apartar el derecho del hombre ante la presencia del Altísimo,
36 to condemn a man [unjustly] in his judgment, the Lord has not given commandment.
36 Trastornar al hombre en su causa, el Señor no lo sabe.
37 Who has thus spoken, and it has come to pass? the Lord has not commanded it.
37 ¿Quién [será] aquel que diga, que vino [algo] que el Señor no mandó?
38 Out of the mouth of the Most High there shall not come forth evil and good.
38 ¿De la boca del Altísimo no saldrá malo y bueno?
39 Mem. Why should a living man complain, a man concerning his sin?
39 ¿Por qué murmura el hombre viviente, el hombre en su pecado?
40 Nun. Our way has been searched out and examined, and we will turn to the Lord.
40 Escudriñemos nuestros caminos, y busquemos, y volvámonos á Jehová.
41 Let us lift up our hearts with [our] hands to the lofty One in heaven.
41 Levantemos nuestros corazones con las manos á Dios en los cielos.
42 We have sinned, we have transgressed; and thou hast not pardoned.
42 Nosotros nos hemos rebelado, y fuimos desleales; tú no perdonaste.
43 Samech. Thou hast visited [us] in wrath, and driven us away: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
43 Desplegaste la ira, y nos perseguiste; mataste, no perdonaste.
44 Thou hast veiled thyself with a cloud because of prayer, that I might be blind,
44 Te cubriste de nube, porque no pasase la oración [nuestra].
45 and be cast off. Ain. Thou hast set us [alone] in the midst of the nations.
45 Raedura y abominación nos tornaste en medio de los pueblos.
46 All our enemies have opened their mouth against us.
46 Todos nuestros enemigos abrieron sobre nosotros su boca.
47 Fear and wrath are come upon us, suspense and destruction.
47 Temor y lazo fué para nosotros, asolamiento y quebrantamiento.
48 Mine eye shall pour down torrents of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
48 Ríos de aguas echan mis ojos, por el quebrantamiento de la hija de mi pueblo.
49 Phe. Mine eye is drowned [with tears], and I will not be silent, so that there shall be no rest,
49 Mis ojos destilan, y no cesan, porque no hay alivio,
50 until the Lord look down, and behold from heaven.
50 Hasta que Jehová mire y vea desde los cielos.
51 Mine eye shall prey upon my soul, because of all the daughters of the city.
51 Mis ojos contristaron mi alma, por todas las hijas de mi ciudad.
52 Tsade. The fowlers chased me as a sparrow, all mine enemies destroyed my life in a pit without cause,
52 Mis enemigos me dieron caza como á ave, sin por qué.
53 and laid a stone upon me.
53 Ataron mi vida en mazmorra, pusieron piedra sobre mí.
54 Water flowed over my head: I said, I am cut off.
54 Aguas de avenida vinieron sobre mi cabeza; yo dije: Muerto soy.
55 Koph. I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the lowest dungeon.
55 Invoqué tu nombre, oh Jehová, desde la cárcel profunda.
56 Thou heardest my voice: close not thine ears to my supplication.
56 Oiste mi voz; no escondas tu oído á mi clamor, para mi respiro.
57 Thou drewest nigh to my help: in the day wherein I called upon thee thou saidst to me, Fear not.
57 Acercástete el día que te invoqué: dijiste: No temas.
58 Rechs. O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
58 Abogaste, Señor, la causa de mi alma; redimiste mi vida.
59 Thou hast seen, O Lord, my troubles: thou hast judged my cause.
59 Tú has visto, oh Jehová, mi agravio; defiende mi causa.
60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance, [thou hast looked] on all their devices against me.
60 Tú has visto toda su venganza; todos sus pensamientos contra mí.
61 Chsen. Thou hast heard their reproach [and] all their devices against me;
61 Tú has oído el oprobio de ellos, oh Jehová, todas sus maquinaciones contra mí;
62 the lips of them that rose up against me, and their plots against me all the day;
62 Los dichos de los que contra mí se levantaron, y su designio contra mí todo el día.
63 their sitting down and their rising up: look thou upon their eyes.
63 Su sentarse, y su levantarse mira: yo soy su canción.
64 Thou wilt render them a recompence, O Lord, according to the works of their hands.
64 Dales el pago, oh Jehová, según la obra de sus manos.
65 Thau. Thou wilt give them [as] a covering, the grief of my heart.
65 Dales ansia de corazón, tu maldición á ellos.
66 Thou wilt persecute them in anger, and wilt consume them from under the heaven, O Lord.
66 Persíguelos en tu furor, y quebrántalos de debajo de los cielos, oh Jehová.

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).
