WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
1 ¿POR qué estás lejos, oh Jehová, y te escondes en el tiempo de la tribulación?
1 Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2 In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
2 Con arrogancia el malo persigue al pobre: serán cogidos en los artificios que han ideado.
2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
3 For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
3 Por cuanto se alaba el malo del deseo de su alma, y bendice al codicioso, [á quien] Jehová aborrece.
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns Yahweh.
4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.
4 El malo, por la altivez de su rostro, no busca [á Dios]: no hay Dios [en] todos sus pensamientos.
4 The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.
5 He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
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.
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.
6 He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
6 Dice en su corazón: No seré movido en ningún tiempo, ni jamás [me alcanzará] el infortunio.
6 He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”
7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
7 Llena está su boca de maldición, y de engaños y fraude: debajo de su lengua, vejación y maldad.
7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
8 He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
8 Está en las guaridas de las aldeas: en los escondrijos mata al inocente: sus ojos están acechando al pobre.
8 He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
9 He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.
9 Acecha en oculto, como el león desde su cama: acecha para arrebatar al pobre: arrebata al pobre trayéndolo á su red.
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.
10 They are crushed and beaten down; the hapless fall prey to his strength.
10 Encógese, agáchase, y caen en sus fuerzas muchos desdichados.
10 The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
11 He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”
11 Dice en su corazón: Dios está olvidado, ha encubierto su rostro; nunca lo verá.
11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”
12 Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.
12 Levántate, oh Jehová Dios, alza tu mano, no te olvides de los pobres.
12 Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.
13 Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”
13 ¿Por qué irrita el malo á Dios? En su corazón ha dicho que no [lo] inquirirás.
13 Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account”?
14 But You have regarded trouble and grief; You see to repay it by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.
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.
14 But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.
15 Quebranta el brazo del malo: del maligno buscarás su maldad, hasta que ninguna halles.
15 Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
16 The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.
16 Jehová, Rey eterno y perpetuo; de su tierra fueron destruídas las gentes.
16 Yahweh is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.
17 You have heard, O LORD, the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will incline Your ear,
17 El deseo de los humildes oíste, oh Jehová: tú dispones su corazón, y haces atento tu oído;
17 Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
18 to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.
18 Para juzgar al huérfano y al pobre, á fin de que no vuelva más á hacer violencia el hombre de la tierra.
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).
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.

For, as our Scriptures say, "the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth." Away, then, with these deceitful masks, these deluding whitewashes, that things may be truthfully seen and scrutinized.

For, saith Scripture, "Through the multitude of his anger he will not seek" (after God). (Ps.
