Notes on this text (1)
- Greek and Latin Bibles number most Psalms one lower than Hebrew and English Bibles.
1 Bless Jehovah, O my soul! Jehovah my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with majesty and splendour;
1 BENDICE, alma mía, á Jehová. Jehová, Dios mío, mucho te has engrandecido; haste vestido de gloria y de magnificencia.
2 Covering thyself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent-curtain; —
2 El que se cubre de luz como de vestidura, que extiende los cielos como una cortina;
3 Who layeth the beams of his upper chambers in the waters, who maketh clouds his chariot, who walketh upon the wings of the wind;
3 Que establece sus aposentos entre las aguas; el que pone las nubes por su carroza, el que anda sobre las alas del viento;
4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flame of fire.
4 El que hace á sus ángeles espíritus, sus ministros al fuego flameante.
5 He laid the earth upon its foundations: it shall not be removed for ever.
5 El fundó la tierra sobre sus basas; no será jamás removida.
6 Thou hadst covered it with the deep, as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains:
6 Con el abismo, como con vestido, la cubriste; sobre los montes estaban las aguas.
7 At thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away; —
7 A tu reprensión huyeron; al sonido de tu trueno se apresuraron;
8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them; —
8 Subieron los montes, descendieron los valles, al lugar que tú les fundaste.
9 Thou hast set a bound which they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth.
9 Pusísteles término, el cual no traspasarán; ni volverán á cubrir la tierra.
10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys: they run among the mountains;
10 [Tú eres] el que envías las fuentes por los arroyos; van entre los montes.
11 They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.
11 Abrevan á todas las bestias del campo: quebrantan su sed los asnos montaraces.
12 The birds of heaven dwell by them; they give forth their voice from among the branches.
12 Junto á aquellos habitarán las aves de los cielos; entre las ramas dan voces.
13 He watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
13 El que riega los montes desde sus aposentos: del fruto de sus obras se sacia la tierra.
14 He maketh the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; bringing forth bread out of the earth,
14 El que hace producir el heno para las bestias, y la hierba para el servicio del hombre; sacando el pan de la tierra.
15 And wine which gladdeneth the heart of man; making [his] face shine with oil; and with bread he strengtheneth man's heart.
15 Y el vino que alegra el corazón del hombre, [y] el aceite que hace lucir el rostro, y el pan que sustenta el corazón del hombre.
16 The trees of Jehovah are satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted,
16 Llénanse de [jugo] los árboles de Jehová, los cedros del Líbano que él plantó.
17 Where the birds make their nests; [as for] the stork, the fir trees are her house.
17 Allí anidan las aves; en las hayas [hace] su casa la cigüeña.
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats; the cliffs, a refuge for the rock-badgers.
18 Los montes altos para las cabras monteses; las peñas, madrigueras para los conejos.
19 He made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth its going down.
19 Hizo la luna para los tiempos: el sol conoce su ocaso.
20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth:
20 Pone las tinieblas, y es la noche: en ella corretean todas las bestias de la selva.
21 The young lions roar after the prey, and to seek their food from God.
21 Los leoncillos braman á la presa, y para buscar de Dios su comida.
22 The sun ariseth, they retreat, and lay them down in their dens.
22 Sale el sol, recógense, y échanse en sus cuevas.
23 Man goeth forth unto his work, and to his labour until the evening.
23 Sale el hombre á su hacienda, y á su labranza hasta la tarde.
24 How manifold are thy works, O Jehovah! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
24 ¡Cuán muchas son tus obras, oh Jehová! Hiciste todas ellas con sabiduría: la tierra está llena de tus beneficios.
25 Yonder is the great and wide sea: therein are moving things innumerable, living creatures small and great.
25 [Asimismo] esta gran mar y ancha de términos: en ella pescados sin número, animales pequeños y grandes.
26 There go the ships; [there] that leviathan, which thou hast formed to play therein.
26 Allí andan navíos; allí este leviathán que hiciste para que jugase en ella.
27 These all look unto thee, that thou mayest give their food in its season:
27 Todos ellos esperan en ti, para que les des su comida á su tiempo.
28 That thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good.
28 Les das, recogen; abres tu mano, hártanse de bien.
29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they expire and return to their dust.
29 Escondes tu rostro, túrbanse: les quitas el espíritu, dejan de ser, y tórnanse en su polvo.
30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renewest the face of the earth.
30 Envías tu espíritu, críanse: y renuevas la haz de la tierra.
31 The glory of Jehovah will endure for ever; Jehovah will rejoice in his works.
31 Sea la gloria de Jehová para siempre; alégrese Jehová en sus obras;
32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
32 El cual mira á la tierra, y ella tiembla; toca los montes, y humean.
33 I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live; I will sing psalms to my God while I have my being.
33 A Jehová cantaré en mi vida: á mi Dios salmearé mientras viviere.
34 My meditation shall be pleasant unto him; I will rejoice in Jehovah.
34 Serme ha suave hablar de él: yo me alegraré en Jehová.
35 Sinners shall be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked shall be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Hallelujah!
35 Sean consumidos de la tierra los pecadores, y los impíos dejen de ser. Bendice, alma mía, á Jehová. Aleluya.

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).
… knowledge, "who, being the brightness of His majesty, is by so much greater than the angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they." For it is thus written, "Who maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire." But concerning His Son the Lord spoke thus: "Thou art my Son, to-day have I …
… God who made and adorned the heavens, and the earth, and all things that are in them, and maintain that they themselves are spiritual, while they are in fact shamefully carnal on account of their so great impiety,--affirming that He, who has made His angels spirits, and is clothed with light as with a garment, and holds the circle of …
I will with confidence cry out from Thy oracle, How wonderful are Thy works, O Lord, in Wisdom hast Thou made them all. And this Wisdom is the Beginning, and in that Beginning hast Thou made heaven and earth.

"For a cloud and darkness are round about Him;" and, "He sitteth on a light cloud;" and again, "Who maketh clouds His chariot;" and, "A cloud received Him out of their sight;" and, "As the Son of Man coming in the clouds." In order then that they might believe that the voice proceeds from God, it comes from thence.

Wine was given to make glad the heart of man: and Dionysus (Bacchus) was worshipped instead of God.
