RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord, and call upon his name; declare his works among the heathen.

105:1 ALABAD á Jehová, invocad su nombre: haced notorias sus obras en los pueblos.

2 Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: tell forth all his wonderful works.

105:2 Cantadle, cantadle salmos: hablad de todas sus maravillas.

3 Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them that seek the Lord rejoice.

105:3 Gloriaos en su santo nombre: alégrese el corazón de los que buscan á Jehová.

4 Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened; seek his face continually.

105:4 Buscad á Jehová, y su fortaleza: buscad siempre su rostro.

5 Remember his wonderful works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

105:5 Acordaos de sus maravillas que hizo, de sus prodigios y de los juicios de su boca,

6 [ye] seed of Abraam, his servants, [ye] children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

105:6 Oh vosotros, simiente de Abraham su siervo, hijos de Jacob, sus escogidos.

7 He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

105:7 El es Jehová nuestro Dios; en toda la tierra son sus juicios.

8 He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generations:

105:8 Acordóse para siempre de su alianza; de la palabra que mandó para mil generaciones,

9 which he established as a covenant to Abraam, and [he remembered] his oath to Isaac.

105:9 La cual concertó con Abraham; y de su juramento á Isaac.

10 And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant;

105:10 Y establecióla á Jacob por decreto, á Israel por pacto sempiterno,

11 saying, To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:

105:11 Diciendo: A ti daré la tierra de Canaán [por] cordel de vuestra heredad.

12 when they were few in number, very few, and sojourners in it.

105:12 [Esto] siendo ellos pocos hombres en número, y extranjeros en ella.

13 And they went from nation to nation, and from [one] kingdom to another people.

105:13 Y anduvieron de gente en gente, de un reino á otro pueblo.

14 He suffered no man to wrong them; and he rebuked kings for their sakes:

105:14 No consintió que hombre los agraviase; y por causa de ellos castigó los reyes.

15 [saying], Touch not my anointed ones; and do my prophets no harm.

105:15 No toquéis, [dijo], á mis ungidos, ni hagáis mal á mis profetas.

16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole support of bread.

105:16 Y llamó al hambre sobre la tierra, y quebrantó todo mantenimiento de pan.

17 He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a slave.

105:17 Envió un varón delante de ellos, á José, [que] fué vendido por siervo.

18 They hurt his feet with fetters; his soul passed into iron,

105:18 Afligieron sus pies con grillos; en hierro fué puesta su persona.

19 until the time that his cause came on; the word of the Lord tried him as fire.

105:19 Hasta la hora que llegó su palabra, el dicho de Jehová le probó.

20 The king sent and loosed him; [even] the prince of the people, and let him go free.

105:20 Envió el rey, y soltóle; el señor de los pueblos, y desatóle.

21 He made him lord over his house, and ruler of all his substance;

105:21 Púsolo por señor de su casa, y por enseñoreador en toda su posesión;

22 to chastise his rulers at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.

105:22 Para que reprimiera á sus grandes como él quisiese, y á sus ancianos enseñara sabiduría.

23 Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Cham.

105:23 Después entró Israel en Egipto, y Jacob fué extranjero en la tierra de Châm.

24 And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies.

105:24 Y multiplicó su pueblo en gran manera, é hízolo fuerte más que sus enemigos.

25 And he turned their heart to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.

105:25 Volvió el corazón de ellos para que aborreciesen á su pueblo, para que contra sus siervos pensasen mal.

26 He sent forth Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.

105:26 Envió á su siervo Moisés, [y] á Aarón al cual escogió.

27 He established among them his signs, and [his] wonders in the land of Cham.

105:27 Pusieron en ellos las palabras de sus señales, y sus prodigios en la tierra de Châm.

28 He sent forth darkness, and made it dark; yet they rebelled against his words.

105:28 Echó tinieblas, é hizo oscuridad; y no fueron rebeldes á su palabra.

29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

105:29 Volvió sus aguas en sangre, y mató sus pescados.

30 Their land produced frogs abundantly, in the chambers of their kings.

105:30 Produjo su tierra ranas, [aun] en las cámaras de sus reyes.

31 He spoke, and the dog-fly came, and lice in all their coasts.

105:31 Dijo, y vinieron enjambres de moscas, y piojos en todo su término.

32 He turned their rain into hail, [and sent] flaming fire in their land.

105:32 Volvió en su tierra sus lluvias en granizo, [y] en fuego de llamaradas.

33 And he smote their vines and their fig-trees; and broke every tree of their coast.

105:33 E hirió sus viñas y sus higueras, y quebró los árboles de su término.

34 He spoke, and the locust came, and caterpillars innumerable,

105:34 Dijo, y vinieron langostas, y pulgón sin número;

35 and devoured all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

105:35 Y comieron toda la hierba de su país, y devoraron el fruto de su tierra.

36 He smote also every first-born of their land, the first-fruits of all their labour.

105:36 Hirió además á todos los primogénitos en su tierra, el principio de toda su fuerza.

37 And he brought them out with silver and gold; and there was not a feeble one among their tribes.

105:37 Y sacólos con plata y oro; y no hubo en sus tribus enfermo.

38 Egypt rejoiced at their departing; for the fear of them fell upon them.

105:38 Egipto se alegró de que salieran; porque su terror había caído sobre ellos.

39 He spread out a cloud for a covering to them, and fire to give them light by night.

105:39 Extendió una nube por cubierta, y fuego para alumbrar la noche.

40 They asked, and the quail came, and he satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

105:40 Pidieron, é hizo venir codornices; y saciólos de pan del cielo.

41 He clave the rock, and the waters flowed; rivers ran in dry places.

105:41 Abrió la peña, y fluyeron aguas; corrieron por los secadales [como] un río.

42 For he remembered his holy word, which [he promised] to Abraam his servant.

105:42 Porque se acordó de su santa palabra, [dada] á Abraham su siervo.

43 And he brought out his people with exultation, and his chosen with joy;

105:43 Y sacó á su pueblo con gozo; con júbilo á sus escogidos.

44 and gave them the lands of the heathen; and they inherited the labours of the people;

105:44 Y dióles las tierras de las gentes; y las labores de las naciones heredaron:

45 that they might keep his ordinances, and diligently seek his law.

105:45 Para que guardasen sus estatutos, y observasen sus leyes. Aleluya.

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).

Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CIV)
"Bless the Lord, O my soul." Let the soul of us all, made one in Christ, say this. "O Lord my God, Thou art magnified exceedingly!" (ver. 1). Where art Thou magnified? "Confession and beauty Thou hast put on." Confess ye, that ye may be beautified, that He may put you on. "Clothed with light as a garment" (ver. 2).

… commit iniquity I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men; but my mercy will I not take away from him," meaning by stripes the strokes of correction. Hence that saying, "Touch ye not my christs." For what else is that than, Do not harm them?

This is the case where, as we have observed, it often stands instead of with; as for instance, "I will go into thy house in burnt offerings," instead of with burnt offerings and "he brought them forth also by silver and gold," that is to say with silver and gold and "thou goest not forth in our armies" instead of …

Quotes verse 105:8 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XX, Chapters 6–7)
And for the same reason we cannot better interpret the words of the psalm, "He hath been mindful of His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations," than by understanding it to mean "to all generations." "And he cast him into the abyss,"--i.e., cast the devil into the abyss.
