CPDV Catholic Public Domain Version
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 I wish that you would rend the heavens, and then descend! The mountains would flow away before your face.
1 ¡OH si rompieses los cielos, [y] descendieras, [y] á tu presencia se escurriesen los montes,
2 They would melt, as if thoroughly burned by fire. The waters would burn with fire, so that your name might be made known to your enemies, so that the nations would be stirred up before your face.
2 Como fuego abrasador de fundiciones, fuego que hace hervir las aguas, para que hicieras notorio tu nombre á tus enemigos, y las gentes temblasen á tu presencia!
3 When you will perform miracles, we will not be able to withstand them. You descended, and the mountains flowed away before your presence.
3 Cuando, haciendo terriblezas cuales nunca esperábamos, descendiste, fluyeron los montes delante de ti.
4 From ages past, they have not heard it, and they have not perceived it with the ears. Apart from you, O God, the eye has not seen what you have prepared for those who await you.
4 Ni nunca oyeron, ni oídos percibieron, ni ojo ha visto Dios fuera de ti, que hiciese por el que en él espera.
5 You have met with those who rejoice in doing justice. By your ways, they will remember you. Behold, you have been angry, for we have sinned. In this, we have continued, but we will be saved.
5 Saliste al encuentro al que con alegría obraba justicia, á los que se acordaban de ti en tus caminos: he aquí, tú te enojaste porque pecamos; en esos hay perpetuidad, y seremos salvos.
6 And we have all become like the unclean. And all our justices are like a rag of menstruation. And we have all fallen away, like a leaf. And our iniquities have carried us away, like the wind.
6 Si bien todos nosotros somos como suciedad, y todas nuestras justicias como trapo de inmundicia; y caímos todos nosotros como la hoja, y nuestras maldades nos llevaron como viento.
7 There is no one who calls upon your name, who rises up and holds fast to you. You have concealed your face from us, and you have crushed us with the hand of our own iniquity.
7 Y nadie hay que invoque tu nombre, que se despierte para tenerte; por lo cual escondiste de nosotros tu rostro, y nos dejaste marchitar en poder de nuestras maldades.
8 And now, O Lord, you are our Father, yet truly, we are clay. And you are our Maker, and we are all the works of your hands.
8 Ahora pues, Jehová, tú [eres] nuestro padre; nosotros lodo, y tú el que nos formaste; así que obra de tus manos, todos nosotros.
9 Do not be so angry, O Lord, and no longer call to mind our iniquity. Behold, consider that we are all your people.
9 No te aires, oh Jehová, sobremanera, ni tengas perpetua memoria de la iniquidad: he aquí mira ahora, pueblo tuyo [somos] todos nosotros.
10 The city of your sanctuary has become a desert. Zion has become a desert. Jerusalem is desolate.
10 Tus santas ciudades están desiertas, Sión es un desierto, Jerusalem una soledad.
11 The house of our sanctification and of our glory, where our fathers praised you, has been completely consumed by fire, and all our admirable things have been turned into ruins.
11 La casa de nuestro santuario y de nuestra gloria, en la cual te alabaron nuestros padres, fué consumida al fuego; y todas nuestras cosas preciosas han sido destruídas.
12 Should you restrain yourself, O Lord, concerning these things? Should you remain silent, and afflict us vehemently?
12 ¿Te estarás quieto, oh Jehová, sobre estas cosas? ¿callarás, y nos afligirás sobremanera?

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. Quotes verse 64:10–12 Justin Martyr, First Apology (Chapters XLIV–XLVIII)

    … of our sanctuary has become a curse, and the glory which our fathers blessed is burned up with fire, and all its glorious things are laid waste: and Thou refrainest Thyself at these things, and hast held Thy peace, and hast humbled us very sore." And ye are convinced that Jerusalem has been laid waste, as was predicted.

    … the resurrection of the just, and fulfils the promises for the kingdom of His Son; subsequently bestowing in a paternal manner those things which neither the eye has seen, nor the ear has heard, nor has [thought concerning them] arisen within the heart of man, For there is the one Son, who accomplished His Father's will; and one human race …

    … things which are before," we were seeking between ourselves in the presence of the Truth, which Thou art, of what nature the eternal life of the saints would be, which eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart of man. But yet we opened wide the mouth of our heart, after those supernal streams of …
