Psalm 101 in DRB = Psalm 102 in RV1909.
1 The prayer of the poor man, when he was anxious, and poured out his supplication before the Lord.
·
2 Hear, O Lord, my prayer: and let my cry come to thee.
102:1 Oración del pobre, cuando estuviere angustiado, y delante de Jehová derramare su lamento. JEHOVÁ, oye mi oración, y venga mi clamor á ti.
3 Turn not away thy face from me: in the day when I am in trouble, incline thy ear to me. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily.
102:2 No escondas de mí tu rostro: en el día de mi angustia inclina á mí tu oído; el día que [te] invocare, apresúrate á responderme.
4 For my days are vanished like smoke: and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.
102:3 Porque mis días se han consumido como humo; y mis huesos cual tizón están quemados.
5 I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: because I forgot to eat my bread.
102:4 Mi corazón fué herido, y secóse como la hierba; por lo cual me olvidé de comer mi pan.
6 Through the voice of my groaning, my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.
102:5 Por la voz de mi gemido mis huesos se han pegado á mi carne.
7 I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: I am like a night raven in the house.
102:6 Soy semejante al pelícano del desierto; soy como el buho de las soledades.
8 I have watched, and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.
102:7 Velo, y soy como el pájaro solitario sobre el tejado.
9 All the day long my enemies reproached me: and they that praised me did swear against me.
102:8 Cada día me afrentan mis enemigos; los que se enfurecen contra mí, hanse contra mí conjurado.
10 For I did eat ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
102:9 Por lo que como la ceniza á manera de pan, y mi bebida mezclo con lloro,
11 Because of thy anger and indignation: for having lifted me up thou hast thrown me down.
102:10 A causa de tu enojo y de tu ira; pues me alzaste, y me has arrojado.
12 My days have declined like a shadow, and I am withered like grass.
102:11 Mis días son como la sombra que se va; y heme secado como la hierba.
13 But thou, O Lord, endurest for ever: and thy memorial to all generations.
102:12 Mas tú, Jehová, permanecerás para siempre, y tu memoria para generación y generación.
14 Thou shalt arise and have mercy on Sion: for it is time to have mercy on it, for the time is come.
102:13 Tú levantándote, tendrás misericordia de Sión; porque el tiempo de tener misericordia de ella, porque el plazo es llegado.
15 For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: and they shall have pity on the earth thereof.
102:14 Porque tus siervos aman sus piedras, y del polvo de ella tienen compasión.
16 And the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
102:15 Entonces temerán las gentes el nombre de Jehová, y todos los reyes de la tierra tu gloria;
17 For the Lord hath built up Sion: and he shall be seen in his glory.
102:16 Por cuanto Jehová habrá edificado á Sión, y en su gloria será visto;
18 He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: and he hath not despised their petition.
102:17 Habrá mirado á la oración de los solitarios, y no habrá desechado el ruego de ellos.
19 Let these things be written unto another generation: and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord:
102:18 Escribirse ha esto para la generación venidera: y el pueblo que se criará, alabará á JAH.
20 Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth.
102:19 Porque miró de lo alto de su santuario; Jehová miró de los cielos á la tierra,
21 That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: that he might release the children of the slain:
102:20 Para oir el gemido de los presos, para soltar á los sentenciados á muerte;
22 That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: and his praise in Jerusalem;
102:21 Porque cuenten en Sión el nombre de Jehová, y su alabanza en Jerusalem,
23 When the people assemble together, and kings, to serve the Lord.
102:22 Cuando los pueblos se congregaren en uno, y los reinos, para servir á Jehová.
24 He answered him in the way of his strength: Declare unto me the fewness of my days.
102:23 El afligió mi fuerza en el camino; acortó mis días.
25 Call me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are unto generation and generation.
102:24 Dije: Dios mío, no me cortes en el medio de mis días: por generación de generaciones son tus años.
26 In the beginning, O Lord, thou foundedst the earth: and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
102:25 Tú fundaste la tierra antiguamente, y los cielos son obra de tus manos.
27 They shall perish but thou remainest: and all of them shall grow old like a garment: And as a vesture thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed.
102:26 Ellos perecerán, y tú permanecerás; y todos ellos como un vestido se envejecerán; como una ropa de vestir los mudarás, y serán mudados:
28 But thou art always the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.
102:27 Mas tú eres el mismo, y tus años no se acabarán.
29 The children of thy servants shall continue: and their seed shall be directed for ever.
102:28 Los hijos de tus siervos habitarán, y su simiente será afirmada delante de ti.

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). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 102.
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).
In this Psalm, we ought to seek in the whole body of it what we find in the first verse: "Mercy and judgment will I sing unto Thee, O Lord" (ver. 1).

The children of Thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established for ever;" pointing out plainly what things they are that pass away, and who it is that doth endure for ever--God, together with His servants.
So, then, by a humble piety we return to Thee; and thou purgest us from our evil customs, and art merciful unto the sins of those who confess unto Thee, and dost "hear the groaning of the prisoner," and dost loosen us from those fetters which we have forged for ourselves, if we lift not up against Thee the horns …

On this account also one hath said, "My days have failed like smoke." He indeed was referring to their shortness of duration, and to their unsubstantial nature, but I would say that we should take what is said, not in this sense alone, but also as to their turbid character.

Hear David the Prophet saying, Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Thy hands; they shall perish, but Thou remainest.
