BSB Berean Standard Bible
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 A song of ascents. O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured,
1 Cántico gradual. ACUÉRDATE, oh Jehová, de David, [y] de toda su aflicción;
2 how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
2 Que juró él á Jehová, prometió al Fuerte de Jacob:
3 “I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
3 No entraré en la morada de mi casa, ni subiré sobre el lecho de mi estrado;
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
4 No daré sueño á mis ojos, ni á mis párpados adormecimiento,
5 until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
5 Hasta que halle lugar para Jehová, moradas para el Fuerte de Jacob.
6 We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
6 He aquí, en Ephrata oímos de ella: hallámosla en los campos del bosque.
7 Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.
7 Entraremos en sus tiendas; encorvarnos hemos al estrado de sus pies.
8 Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.
8 Levántate, oh Jehová, á tu reposo; tú y el arca de tu fortaleza.
9 May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.
9 Tus sacerdotes se vistan de justicia, y regocíjense tus santos.
10 For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.
10 Por amor de David tu siervo no vuelvas de tu ungido el rostro.
11 The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.
11 En verdad juró Jehová á David, no se apartará de ellos: Del fruto de tu vientre pondré sobre tu trono.
12 If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”
12 Si tus hijos guardaren mi alianza, y mi testimonio que yo les enseñaré, sus hijos también se sentarán sobre tu trono para siempre.
13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:
13 Porque Jehová ha elegido á Sión; deseóla por habitación para sí.
14 “This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.
14 Este es mi reposo para siempre: aquí habitaré, porque la he deseado.
15 I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
15 A su mantenimiento daré bendición: sus pobres saciaré de pan.
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.
16 Asimismo vestiré á sus sacerdotes de salud, y sus santos darán voces de júbilo.
17 There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
17 Allí haré reverdecer el cuerno de David: he prevenido lámpara á mi ungido.
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”
18 A sus enemigos vestiré de confusión: mas sobre él florecerá su corona.

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).

    But His forefather David was not ignorant of Him, when he said, I have ordained a lamp for mine Anointed: which lamp some have interpreted to be the brightness of Prophecy, others the flesh which He took upon Him from the Virgin, according to the Apostle's word, But we have this treasure in earthen vessels.
