Brenton Brenton's English Septuagint
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth.
·
2 Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.
56:1 Al Músico principal: sobre La paloma silenciosa en paraje muy distante. Michtam de David, cuando los Filisteos le prendieron en Gath. TEN misericordia de mí, oh Dios, porque me devoraría el hombre: me oprime combatiéndome cada día.
3 Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.
56:2 Apúranme mis enemigos cada día; porque muchos son los que pelean contra mí, oh Altísimo.
4 They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee.
56:3 En el día que temo, yo en ti confío.
5 In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.
56:4 En Dios alabaré su palabra: en Dios he confiado, no temeré lo que la carne me hiciere.
6 All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.
56:5 Todos los días me contristan mis negocios; contra mí son todos sus pensamientos para mal.
7 They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.
56:6 Reúnense, escóndense, miran ellos atentamente mis pasos, esperando mi vida.
8 Thou wilt on no account save them; thou wilt bring down the people in wrath.
56:7 ¿Escaparán ellos por la iniquidad? Oh Dios, derriba en tu furor los pueblos.
9 O God, I have declared my life to thee; thou hast set my tears before thee, even according to thy promise.
56:8 Mis huídas has tú contado: pon mis lágrimas en tu redoma: ¿no están ellas en tu libro?
10 Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon thee; behold, I know that thou art my God.
56:9 Serán luego vueltos atrás mis enemigos el día que yo clamare: en esto conozco que Dios es por mí.
11 In God will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.
56:10 En Dios alabaré [su] palabra; en Jehová alabaré [su] palabra.
12 I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.
56:11 En Dios he confiado: no temeré lo que me hará el hombre.
13 The vows of thy praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.
56:12 Sobre mí, oh Dios, están tus votos: te tributaré alabanzas.
14 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
56:13 Porque has librado mi vida de la muerte, y mis pies de caída, para que ande delante de Dios en la luz de los que viven.

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: 56.

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).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LV)

    Of this Psalm the title is: "At the end, in hymns, understanding to David himself." What the "end" is, we will briefly call to your recollection, because ye have known it. "For the end of the Law is Christ, for righteousness unto every man believing." Be the attention therefore directed unto the End, directed unto Christ.

  2. Quotes verse 56:10 Augustine of Hippo, Homilies on the First Epistle of John (Homily X)

    As the Psalm saith, "In God will I praise the discourse, in God will I praise the word." Hereby shall that which there follows come to pass in thee: "In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do unto me." For when all things that are thine are praised in God, no fear lest thy praise …
