1 For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old.
1 Al Músico principal: de los hijos de Coré: Masquil. OH Dios, con nuestros oídos hemos oído, nuestros padres nos han contado, la obra que hiciste en sus días, en los tiempos antiguos.
1 For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. A contemplative psalm. We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.
2 With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out.
2 Tú con tu mano echaste las gentes, y los plantaste á ellos; afligiste los pueblos, y los arrojaste.
2 You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.
3 For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.
3 Porque no se apoderaron de la tierra por su espada, ni su brazo los libró; sino tu diestra, y tu brazo, y la luz de tu rostro, porque te complaciste en ellos.
3 For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
4 You are my King, O God, who ordains victories for Jacob.
4 Tú, oh Dios, eres mi rey: manda saludes á Jacob.
4 God, you are my King. Command victories for Jacob!
5 Through You we repel our foes; through Your name we trample our enemies.
5 Por medio de ti sacudiremos á nuestros enemigos: en tu nombre atropellaremos á nuestros adversarios.
5 Through you, we will push down our adversaries. Through your name, we will tread down those who rise up against us.
6 For I do not trust in my bow, nor does my sword save me.
6 Porque no confiaré en mi arco, ni mi espada me salvará.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither will my sword save me.
7 For You save us from our enemies; You put those who hate us to shame.
7 Pues tú nos has guardado de nuestros enemigos, y has avergonzado á los que nos aborrecían.
7 But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.
8 In God we have boasted all day long, and Your name we will praise forever. Selah
8 En Dios nos gloriaremos todo tiempo, y para siempre loaremos tu nombre. (Selah.)
8 In God we have made our boast all day long. We will give thanks to your name forever. Selah.
9 But You have rejected and humbled us; You no longer go forth with our armies.
9 Empero [nos] has desechado, y nos has hecho avergonzar; y no sales en nuestros ejércitos.
9 But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don’t go out with our armies.
10 You have made us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have plundered us.
10 Nos hiciste retroceder del enemigo, y saqueáron[nos] para sí los que nos aborrecían.
10 You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take plunder for themselves.
11 You have given us up as sheep to be devoured; You have scattered us among the nations.
11 Pusístenos como á ovejas para comida, y esparcístenos entre las gentes.
11 You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.
12 You sell Your people for nothing; no profit do You gain from their sale.
12 Has vendido tu pueblo de balde, y no pujaste en sus precios.
12 You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.
13 You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.
13 Pusístenos por vergüenza á nuestros vecinos, por escarnio y por burla á los que nos rodean.
13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.
14 You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
14 Pusístenos por proverbio entre las gentes, por movimiento de cabeza en los pueblos.
14 You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
15 All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,
15 Cada día mi vergüenza está delante de mí, y cúbreme la confusión de mi rostro,
15 All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,
16 at the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy, bent on revenge.
16 Por la voz del que [me] vitupera y deshonra, por razón del enemigo y del que se venga.
16 at the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.
17 All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant.
17 Todo esto nos ha venido, y no nos hemos olvidado de ti; y no hemos faltado á tu pacto.
17 All this has come on us, yet we haven’t forgotten you. We haven’t been false to your covenant.
18 Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.
18 No se ha vuelto atrás nuestro corazón, ni tampoco se han apartado nuestros pasos de tus caminos.
18 Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,
19 But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.
19 Cuando nos quebrantaste en el lugar de los dragones, y nos cubriste con sombra de muerte,
19 though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
20 Si nos hubiésemos olvidado del nombre de nuestro Dios, ó alzado nuestras manos á dios ajeno,
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread out our hands to a strange god,
21 would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?
21 ¿No demandaría Dios esto? porque él conoce los secretos del corazón.
21 won’t God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
22 Empero por tu causa nos matan cada día; somos tenidos como ovejas para el matadero.
22 Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.
23 Wake up, O Lord! Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever.
23 Despierta; ¿por qué duermes, Señor? Despierta, no te alejes para siempre.
23 Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Don’t reject us forever.
24 Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression?
24 ¿Por qué escondes tu rostro, y te olvidas de nuestra aflicción, y de la opresión nuestra?
24 Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
25 For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.
25 Porque nuestra alma está agobiada hasta el polvo: nuestro vientre está pegado con la tierra.

26 Rise up; be our help! Redeem us on account of Your loving devotion.

26 Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness’ sake.

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).
This Psalm is a short one; it satisfies the mental cravings of the hearers, without imposing too severe a trial on the hunger of those fasting.

… of with; as for instance, "I will go into thy house in burnt offerings," instead of with burnt offerings and "he brought them forth also by silver and gold," that is to say with silver and gold and "thou goest not forth in our armies" instead of with our armies, and innumerable similar passages.
