1 Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the Law of the LORD.
1 ALEPH. BIENAVENTURADOS los perfectos de camino; los que andan en la ley de Jehová.
2 Blessed are those who keep His testimonies and seek Him with all their heart.
2 Bienaventurados los que guardan sus testimonios, y con todo el corazón le buscan:
3 They do no iniquity; they walk in His ways.
3 Pues no hacen iniquidad los que andan en sus caminos.
4 You have ordained Your precepts, that we should keep them diligently.
4 Tú encargaste que sean muy guardados tus mandamientos.
5 Oh, that my ways were committed to keeping Your statutes!
5 ¡Ojalá fuesen ordenados mis caminos á observar tus estatutos!
6 Then I would not be ashamed when I consider all Your commandments.
6 Entonces no sería yo avergonzado, cuando atendiese á todos tus mandamientos.
7 I will praise You with an upright heart when I learn Your righteous judgments.
7 Te alabaré con rectitud de corazón, cuando aprendiere los juicios de tu justicia.
8 I will keep Your statutes; do not utterly forsake me.
8 Tus estatutos guardaré: no me dejes enteramente.
9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to Your word.

10 With all my heart I have sought You; do not let me stray from Your commandments.
10 Con todo mi corazón te he buscado: no me dejes divagar de tus mandamientos.
11 I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You.
11 En mi corazón he guardado tus dichos, para no pecar contra ti.
12 Blessed are You, O LORD; teach me Your statutes.
12 Bendito tú, oh Jehová: enséñame tus estatutos.
13 With my lips I proclaim all the judgments of Your mouth.

14 I rejoice in the way of Your testimonies as much as in all riches.
14 Heme gozado en el camino de tus testimonios, como sobre toda riqueza.
15 I will meditate on Your precepts and regard Your ways.
15 En tus mandamientos meditaré, consideraré tus caminos.

54 Your statutes are songs to me in the house of my pilgrimage.
54 Cánticos me fueron tus estatutos en la mansión de mis peregrinaciones.
55 In the night, O LORD, I remember Your name, that I may keep Your law.

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).

    It is this charm of truth which the Psalmist expresses so emphatically when he says, "How sweet are thy words unto my taste, yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth."

  5. Quotes verse 119:37 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VII, Chapters X–XV)

    But after Thou hadst fomented the head of me unconscious of it, and closed mine eyes lest they should "behold vanity," I ceased from myself a little, and my madness was lulled to sleep; and I awoke in Thee, and saw Thee to be infinite, though in another way; and this sight was not derived from the flesh.
