DRB Douay-Rheims (Challoner), American Edition 1899
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 A psalm for David. Of the sons of Jonadab, and the former captives. In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion:
71:1 EN ti, oh Jehová, he esperado; no sea yo confuso para siempre.
2 Deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me. Incline thy ear unto me, and save me.
71:2 Hazme escapar, y líbrame en tu justicia: inclina tu oído y sálvame.
3 Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: that thou mayst make me safe. For thou art my firmament and my refuge.
71:3 Séme por peña de estancia, adonde recurra yo continuamente: mandado has que yo sea salvo; porque tú eres mi roca, y mi fortaleza.
4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust.
71:4 Dios mío, líbrame de la mano del impío, de la mano del perverso y violento.
5 For thou art my patience, O Lord: my hope, O Lord, from my youth;
71:5 Porque tú, oh Señor Jehová, eres mi esperanza: seguridad mía desde mi juventud.
6 By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: from my mother’s womb thou art my protector. Of thee shall I continually sing:
71:6 Por ti he sido sustentado desde el vientre: de las entrañas de mi madre tú fuiste el que me sacaste: de ti será siempre mi alabanza.
7 I run become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper.
71:7 Como prodigio he sido á muchos; y tú mi refugio fuerte.
8 Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; thy greatness all the day long.
71:8 Sea llena mi boca de tu alabanza, de tu gloria todo el día.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age: when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.
71:9 No me deseches en el tiempo de la vejez; cuando mi fuerza se acabare, no me desampares.
10 For my enemies have spoken against me; and they that watched my soul have consulted together,
71:10 Porque mis enemigos han tratado de mí; y los que acechan mi alma, consultaron juntamente,
11 Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.
71:11 Diciendo: Dios lo ha dejado: perseguid y tomadle, porque no hay quien le libre.
12 O God, be not thou far from me: O my God, make haste to my help.
71:12 Oh Dios, no te alejes de mí: Dios mío, acude presto á mi socorro.
13 Let them be confounded and come to nothing that detract my soul; let them be covered with confusion and shame that seek my hurt.
71:13 Sean avergonzados, fallezcan los adversarios de mi alma; sean cubiertos de vergüenza y de confusión los que mi mal buscan.
14 But I will always hope; and will add to all thy praise.
71:14 Mas yo siempre esperaré, y añadiré sobre toda tu alabanza.
15 My mouth shall shew forth thy justice; thy salvation all the day long. Because I have not known learning,
71:15 Mi boca publicará tu justicia y tu salud todo el día, aunque no sé el número [de ellas].
16 I will enter into the powers of the Lord: O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone.
71:16 Vendré á las valentías del Señor Jehová: haré memoria de sola tu justicia.
17 Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: and till now I will declare thy wonderful works.
71:17 Oh Dios, enseñásteme desde mi mocedad; y hasta ahora he manifestado tus maravillas.
18 And unto old age and grey hairs: O God, forsake me not, Until I shew forth thy arm to all the generation that is to come: Thy power,
71:18 Y aun hasta la vejez y las canas; oh Dios, no me desampares, hasta que denuncie tu brazo á la posteridad, tus valentías á todos los que han de venir.
19 And thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee?
71:19 Y tu justicia, oh Dios, hasta lo excelso; porque has hecho grandes cosas: oh Dios, ¿quién como tú?
20 How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth:
71:20 Tú, que me has hecho ver muchas angustias y males, volverás á darme vida, y de nuevo me levantarás de los abismos de la tierra.
21 Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; and turning to me thou hast comforted me.
71:21 Aumentarás mi grandeza, y volverás á consolarme.
22 For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: O God, I will sing to thee with the harp, thou holy one of Israel.
71:22 Asimismo yo te alabaré con instrumento de salterio, oh Dios mío: tu verdad cantaré yo á ti en el arpa, oh Santo de Israel.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; and my soul which thou hast redeemed.
71:23 Mis labios cantarán cuando á ti salmeare, y mi alma, á la cual redimiste.
24 Yea and my tongue shall meditate on thy justice all the day; when they shall be confounded and put to shame that seek evils to me.
71:24 Mi lengua hablará también de tu justicia todo el día: por cuanto fueron avergonzados, porque fueron confusos los que mi mal procuraban.

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: 71.

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 LXX)

    Thanks to the "Corn of wheat," because He willed to die and to be multiplied: thanks to the only Son of God, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who disdained not to undergo our death, in order that He might make us worthy of His life.

    Accordingly we find the Psalmist, even in reference to God, saying "Be Thou to me a champion God and a strong place to save me" and concerning the Spirit "behold there is place by me, and stand upon a rock." Plainly meaning the place or contemplation in the Spirit wherein, after Moses had entered thither, he was able to see …
