1 Unto the end, destroy not, for David for an inscription of It title, when Saul sent and watched his house to kill him.
·
·
2 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; and defend me from them that rise up against me.
59:1 Al Músico principal: sobre No destruyas: Michtam de David, cuando envió Saúl, y guardaron la casa para matarlo. LÍBRAME de mis enemigos, oh Dios mío: ponme en salvo de los que contra mí se levantan.
59:1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
3 Deliver me from them that work iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
59:2 Líbrame de los que obran iniquidad, y sálvame de hombres sanguinarios.
59:2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
4 For behold they have caught my soul: the mighty have rushed in upon me:
59:3 Porque he aquí están acechando mi vida: hanse juntado contra mí fuertes, no por falta mía, ni pecado mío, oh Jehová.
59:3 For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh.
5 Neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord: without iniquity have I run, and directed my steps.
59:4 Sin delito [mío] corren y se aperciben: despierta para venir á mi encuentro, y mira.
59:4 I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, behold, and help me!
6 Rise up thou to meet me, and behold: even thou, O Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel. Attend to visit all the nations: have no mercy on all them that work iniquity.
59:5 Y tú, Jehová Dios de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel, despierta para visitar todas las gentes: no hayas misericordia de todos los que se rebelan con iniquidad. (Selah.)
59:5 You, Yahweh God of Armies, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah.
7 They shall return at evening, and shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall go round about the city.
59:6 Volveránse á la tarde, ladrarán como perros, y rodearán la ciudad.
59:6 They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city.
8 Behold they shall speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: for who, say they, hath heard us?
59:7 He aquí proferirán con su boca; cuchillos [están] en sus labios, porque [dicen]: ¿Quién oye?
59:7 Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, “For”, they say, “who hears us?”
9 But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them: thou shalt bring all the nations to nothing.
59:8 Mas tú, Jehová, te reirás de ellos, te burlarás de todas las gentes.
59:8 But you, Yahweh, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.
10 I will keep my strength to thee: for thou art my protector:
59:9 De su fuerza esperaré yo en ti: porque Dios es mi defensa.
59:9 Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.
11 My God, his mercy shall prevent me.
59:10 El Dios de mi misericordia me prevendrá: Dios me hará ver en mis enemigos [mi deseo].
59:10 My God will go before me with his loving kindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
12 God shall let me see over my enemies: slay them not, lest at any time my people forget. Scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord, my protector:
59:11 No los matarás, porque mi pueblo no se olvide: hazlos vagar con tu fortaleza; y abátelos, oh Jehová, escudo nuestro,
59:11 Don’t kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.
13 For the sin of their mouth, and the word of their lips: and let them be taken in their pride. And for their cursing and lying they shall be talked of,
59:12 [Por] el pecado de su boca, [por] la palabra de sus labios; y sean presos por su soberbia, y por la maldición y mentira que profieren.
59:12 For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.
14 When they are consumed: when they are consumed by thy wrath, and they shall be no more. And they shall know that God will rule Jacob, and all the ends of the earth.
59:13 Acábalos con furor, acábalos, y no sean: y sepan que Dios domina en Jacob hasta los fines de la tierra. (Selah.)
59:13 Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. Selah.
15 They shall return at evening and shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall go round about the city.
59:14 Vuelvan pues á la tarde, y ladren como perros, y rodeen la ciudad.
59:14 At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.
16 They shall be scattered abroad to eat, and shall murmur if they be not filled.
59:15 Anden ellos errantes para [hallar qué] comer: y si no se saciaren, murmuren.
59:15 They shall wander up and down for food, and wait all night if they aren’t satisfied.
17 But I will sing thy strength: and will extol thy mercy in the morning. For thou art become my support, and my refuge, in the day of my trouble.
59:16 Yo empero cantaré tu fortaleza, y loaré de mañana tu misericordia: porque has sido mi amparo y refugio en el día de mi angustia.
59:16 But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, a refuge in the day of my distress.
18 Unto thee, O my helper, will I sing, for thou art God my defence: my God my mercy.
59:17 Fortaleza mía, á ti cantaré; porque eres Dios de mi amparo, Dios de mi misericordia.
59:17 To you, my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.

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: 59.

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 LVIII)

    The words which we have sung must be rather hearkened to by us, than proclaimed. For to all men as it were in an assemblage of mankind, the Truth crieth, "If truly indeed justice ye speak, judge right things, ye sons of men" (ver. 1). For to what unjust man is it not an easy thing to speak justice?

  2. Quotes verse 59:9 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIII, Chapters 21–23)

    … with fears and sorrows, he may cry, if there be yet soul in him to feel his ills, in the words of the psalm, "My soul is cast down within me," and when chastened, may say," Because of his strength I will wait upon Thee." These and similar allegorical interpretations may be suitably put upon Paradise without giving offence to …

  3. Quotes verse 59:6 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XIII)

    … that He was put in bonds before the gates of the city, thou hast heard before, if thou rememberest the exposition of the Psalm, which has told the time and the place; how they returned at evening, and hungered like dogs, and encompassed the city.
