2 I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will recount all thy wonderful works.
1 Al Músico principal: sobre Muth-labben: Salmo de David. TE alabaré, oh Jehová, con todo mi corazón; contaré todas tus maravillas.
1 For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm by David. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
3 I will be glad and exult in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou Most High.
2 Alegraréme y regocijaréme en ti: cantaré á tu nombre, oh Altísimo;
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
4 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall be feeble and perish at thy presence.
3 Por haber sido mis enemigos vueltos atrás: caerán y perecerán delante de ti.
3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
5 For thou hast maintained my cause and my right; thou satest on the throne, that judgest righteousness.
4 Porque has hecho mi juicio y mi causa: sentástete en silla juzgando justicia.
4 For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
6 Thou hast rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever.
5 Reprendiste gentes, destruiste al malo, raíste el nombre de ellos para siempre jamás.
5 You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
7 The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and thou hast destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise,
6 Oh enemigo, acabados son para siempre los asolamientos; y las ciudades que derribaste, su memoria pereció con ellas.
6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
8 but the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
7 Mas Jehová permanecerá para siempre: dispuesto ha su trono para juicio.
7 But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
9 And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in uprightness.
8 Y él juzgará el mundo con justicia; y juzgará los pueblos con rectitud.
8 He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
10 The Lord also is become a refuge for the poor, a seasonable help, in affliction.
9 Y será Jehová refugio al pobre, refugio para el tiempo de angustia.
9 Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
11 And let them that know thy name hope in thee: for thou, O Lord, hast not failed them that diligently seek thee.
10 Y en ti confiarán los que conocen tu nombre; por cuanto tú, oh Jehová, no desamparaste á los que te buscaron.
10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.
12 Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Sion: declare his dealings among the nations.
11 Cantad á Jehová, que habita en Sión: noticiad en los pueblos sus obras.
11 Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.
13 For he remembered them, [in] making inquisition for blood: he has not forgotten the supplication of the poor.
12 Porque demandando la sangre se acordó de ellos: no se olvidó del clamor de los pobres.
12 For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.
14 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; look upon my affliction [which I suffer] of mine enemies, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
13 Ten misericordia de mí, Jehová: mira mi aflicción [que padezco] de los que me aborrecen, tú que me levantas de las puertas de la muerte;
13 Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,
15 that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion: I will exult in thy salvation.
14 Porque cuente yo todas tus alabanzas en las puertas de la hija de Sión, [y] me goce en tu salud.
14 that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
16 The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the very snare which they hid is their foot taken.
15 Hundiéronse las gentes en la fosa que hicieron; en la red que escondieron fué tomado su pie.
15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
17 The Lord is known as executing judgments: the sinner is taken in the works of his hands. A song of Pause.
16 Jehová fué conocido [en] el juicio que hizo; en la obra de sus manos fué enlazado el malo. (Higaion. Selah.)
16 Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.
18 Let sinners be driven away into Hades, [even] all the nations that forget God.
17 Los malos serán trasladados al infierno, todas las gentes que se olvidan de Dios.
17 The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.
19 For the poor shall not be forgotten for ever: the patience of the needy ones shall not perish for ever.
18 Porque no para siempre será olvidado el pobre; ni la esperanza de los pobres perecerá perpetuamente.
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
20 Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged before thee.
19 Levántate, oh Jehová; no se fortalezca el hombre; sean juzgadas las gentes delante de ti.
19 Arise, Yahweh! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
21 Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: let the heathen know that they are men. Pause.
20 Pon, oh Jehová, temor en ellos: conozcan las gentes que son no más que hombres. (Selah.)
20 Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.
22 Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? [why] dost thou overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction?
10:1 ¿POR qué estás lejos, oh Jehová, y te escondes en el tiempo de la tribulación?
10:1 Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
23 While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued: [the wicked] are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.
10:2 Con arrogancia el malo persigue al pobre: serán cogidos en los artificios que han ideado.
10:2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
24 Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.
10:3 Por cuanto se alaba el malo del deseo de su alma, y bendice al codicioso, [á quien] Jehová aborrece.
10:3 For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns Yahweh.
25 The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after [him]: God is not before him.
10:4 El malo, por la altivez de su rostro, no busca [á Dios]: no hay Dios [en] todos sus pensamientos.
10:4 The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.
26 His ways are profane at all times; thy judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.
10:5 Sus caminos son viciosos en todo tiempo: tus juicios [los tiene] muy lejos de su vista: echa bocanadas en [orden á] todos sus enemigos.
10:5 His ways are prosperous at all times. He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
27 For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, [continuing] without evil from generation to generation.
10:6 Dice en su corazón: No seré movido en ningún tiempo, ni jamás [me alcanzará] el infortunio.
10:6 He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”
28 Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.
10:7 Llena está su boca de maldición, y de engaños y fraude: debajo de su lengua, vejación y maldad.
10:7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
29 He lies in wait with rich [men] in secret places, in order to slay the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.
10:8 Está en las guaridas de las aldeas: en los escondrijos mata al inocente: sus ojos están acechando al pobre.
10:8 He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
30 He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him [after him]: he will bring him down in his snare.
10:9 Acecha en oculto, como el león desde su cama: acecha para arrebatar al pobre: arrebata al pobre trayéndolo á su red.
10:9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless when he draws him in his net.
31 He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.
10:10 Encógese, agáchase, y caen en sus fuerzas muchos desdichados.
10:10 The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
32 For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face so as never to look.
10:11 Dice en su corazón: Dios está olvidado, ha encubierto su rostro; nunca lo verá.
10:11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”
33 Arise, O Lord God; let thy hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.
10:12 Levántate, oh Jehová Dios, alza tu mano, no te olvides de los pobres.
10:12 Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.
34 Wherefore has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He will not require [it].
10:13 ¿Por qué irrita el malo á Dios? En su corazón ha dicho que no [lo] inquirirás.
10:13 Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account”?
35 Thou seest [it]; for thou dost observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into thy hands: the poor has been left to thee; thou wast a helper to the orphan.
10:14 Tú [lo] tienes visto: porque tú miras el trabajo, y la vejación, para vengar[le] por tu mano: á ti se acoge el pobre, tú eres el amparo del huérfano.
10:14 But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
36 Break thou the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.
10:15 Quebranta el brazo del malo: del maligno buscarás su maldad, hasta que ninguna halles.
10:15 Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
37 The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish out of his land.
10:16 Jehová, Rey eterno y perpetuo; de su tierra fueron destruídas las gentes.
10:16 Yahweh is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.
38 The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: thine ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart;
10:17 El deseo de los humildes oíste, oh Jehová: tú dispones su corazón, y haces atento tu oído;
10:17 Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
39 to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.
10:18 Para juzgar al huérfano y al pobre, á fin de que no vuelva más á hacer violencia el hombre de la tierra.
10:18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.

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: 9, 10.
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).
The inscription of this Psalm is, "To the end for the hidden things of the Son, a Psalm of David himself." As to the hidden things of the Son there may be a question: but since he has not added whose, the very only-begotten Son of God should be understood.
