1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. OIGATE Jehová en el día de conflicto; defiéndate el nombre del Dios de Jacob.
2 May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.
2 Envíete ayuda desde el santuario, y desde Sión te sostenga.
3 May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings. Selah
3 Haga memoria de todos tus presentes, y reduzca á ceniza tu holocausto. (Selah.)
4 May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
4 Déte conforme á tu corazón, y cumpla todo tu consejo.
5 May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.
5 Nosotros nos alegraremos por tu salud, y alzaremos pendón en el nombre de nuestro Dios: cumpla Jehová todas tus peticiones.
6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.
6 Ahora echo de ver que Jehová guarda á su ungido: oirálo desde los cielos de su santidad, con la fuerza de la salvación de su diestra.
7 Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
7 Estos [confían] en carros, y aquéllos en caballos: mas nosotros del nombre de Jehová nuestro Dios tendremos memoria.
8 They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.
8 Ellos arrodillaron, y cayeron; mas nosotros nos levantamos, y nos enhestamos.
9 O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.
9 Salva, Jehová: que el Rey nos oiga el día que lo invocáremos.

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).

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

    It is a well-known title; nor does the Lord Jesus Christ say what follows, but it is said of Him. 2. "The heavens tell out the glory of God" (ver. 1).
