1 Aleph Happy are those who do what is right, who follow what the Lord says.
1 ALEPH. BIENAVENTURADOS los perfectos de camino; los que andan en la ley de Jehová.

51 Arrogant people mock me terribly, but I don't give up on your teachings.
51 Los soberbios se burlaron mucho de mí: [mas] no me he apartado de tu ley.
52 I think about the instructions you gave long ago, Lord, and they reassure me.
52 Acordéme, oh Jehová, de tus juicios antiguos, y consoléme.
53 I am angry with the wicked because they have rejected your law.
53 Horror se apoderó de mí, á causa de los impíos que dejan tu ley.
54 Your instructions have been music to my ears wherever I have lived.
54 Cánticos me fueron tus estatutos en la mansión de mis peregrinaciones.
55 At night I think about the kind of person you are, Lord, and do what you say.
55 Acordéme en la noche de tu nombre, oh Jehová, y guardé tu ley.
56 For this is how I live my life—by following your principles. Heth

62 I get up in the middle of the night to thank you for your good laws.
62 A media noche me levantaba á alabarte sobre los juicios de tu justicia.
63 I identify with all those who follow you, those who do what you tell them.
63 Compañero soy yo de todos los que te temieren y guardaren tus mandamientos.
64 Lord, you love everyone on earth; please teach me what to do. Teth
64 De tu misericordia, oh Jehová, está llena la tierra: enséñame tus estatutos.
65 Lord, you have been so good to me, your servant, as you have promised.

66 Now teach me wise judgment and discernment because I believe in your instructions.
66 Enséñame bondad de sentido y sabiduría; porque tus mandamientos he creído.
67 Previously I was suffering, wandering away from you, but now I do what you say.

68 Since you are good, everything you do is good. Teach me your ways.

72 What you tell me to do is worth more to me than much gold and silver. Yodh
72 Mejor me es la ley de tu boca, que millares de oro y plata.
73 You created me and made me what I am; help me to learn and better understand your commandments.

83 I've become like a wineskin that's been shriveled up by smoke, but I have not forgotten to do as you say.
83 Porque estoy como el odre al humo; mas no he olvidado tus estatutos.
84 How long do I have to wait before you punish my persecutors?
84 ¿Cuántos son los días de tu siervo? ¿cuándo harás juicio contra los que me persiguen?
85 These arrogant people have dug pits to trap me, these people who don't care anything about your law.
85 Los soberbios me han cavado hoyos; mas no [obran] según tu ley.
86 All your commands are trustworthy. Help me against these people who persecute me with their lies!
86 Todos tus mandamientos son verdad: sin causa me persiguen; ayúdame.
87 They have almost killed me, but I have not given up on what you say.
87 Casi me han echado por tierra: mas yo no he dejado tus mandamientos.
88 Since you love me with your trustworthy love, don't let me die, so I can go on following the instructions you have given. Lamedh
88 Vivifícame conforme á tu misericordia; y guardaré los testimonios de tu boca.

114 You keep me safe and you defend me, your word gives me reason to hope.
114 Mi escondedero y mi escudo eres tú: en tu palabra he esperado.
115 Leave me alone, you evil people, and let me keep the commandments of my God.
115 Apartaos de mí, malignos; pues yo guardaré los mandamientos de mi Dios.

118 You reject all those who don't follow your instructions—they're fooling themselves by living a lie.
118 Hollaste á todos los que se desvían de tus estatutos: porque mentira es su engaño.
119 You treat the wicked people on earth as something worthless to be discarded; therefore I love your laws.
119 Como escorias hiciste consumir á todos los impíos de la tierra: por tanto yo he amado tus testimonios.
120 I have goose bumps thinking of you—I'm in awe! I'm scared of your judgments! Ayin
120 Mi carne se ha extremecido por temor de ti; y de tus juicios tengo miedo.
121 I have done what's fair and right, so please don't abandon me to my enemies.

126 Lord, it's time for you to act, for these people have broken your laws.

136 Ríos de agua descendieron de mis ojos, porque no guardaban tu ley.
137 Lord, you are right, and what you decide is just!
137 TZADDI. Justo eres tú, oh Jehová, y rectos tus juicios.
138 You have given your instructions which are fair and totally trustworthy.
138 Tus testimonios, [que] has recomendado, [son] rectos y muy fieles.
139 My devotion is burning me up inside because my enemies ignore your words.

145 My whole being is crying out! Lord, please answer me! I will follow your instructions.
145 COPH. Clamé con todo mi corazón; respóndeme, Jehová, y guardaré tus estatutos.
146 I pray to you, asking, “Please save me!” so I can do what you say.
146 A ti clamé; sálvame, y guardaré tus testimonios.
147 I get up before dawn, and call out to you for help and put my hope in your word.
147 Anticipéme al alba, y clamé: esperé en tu palabra.
148 During the night I stay awake, meditating on your word.
148 Previnieron mis ojos las vigilias de la noche, para meditar en tus dichos.
149 Listen to what I have to say, Lord, because of your trustworthy love. Keep me alive, Lord, because you always do what's right.
149 Oye mi voz conforme á tu misericordia; oh Jehová, vivifícame conforme á tu juicio.
150 Evil people come running to attack me—they totally disregard your law.
150 Acercáronse á la maldad los que [me] persiguen; alejáronse de tu ley.
151 But you, Lord, are close beside me; all your commandments are true.

155 Lejos está de los impíos la salud; porque no buscan tus estatutos.
156 Lord, your mercy is so great! Because you are always fair, please let me live!
156 Muchas son tus misericordias, oh Jehová: vivifícame conforme á tus juicios.
157 Despite the many people who persecute and mistreat me, I have not strayed from your laws.
157 Muchos son mis perseguidores y mis enemigos; [mas] de tus testimonios no me he apartado.
158 Watching these unfaithful people disgusts me because they take no notice of your word.
158 Veía á los prevaricadores, y carcomíame; porque no guardaban tus palabras.
159 See how much I love your commandments, Lord. Please let me live because of your trustworthy love.
159 Mira, oh Jehová, que amo tus mandamientos: vivifícame conforme á tu misericordia.
160 Your word can be summed up in one word: truth! All of your just laws will last forever. Shin

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).

  3. Quotes verse 119:103 Basil of Caesarea, Hexaemeron (Homily III)

    It is this charm of truth which the Psalmist expresses so emphatically when he says, "How sweet are thy words unto my taste, yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth."

  5. Quotes verse 119:37 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VII, Chapters X–XV)

    But after Thou hadst fomented the head of me unconscious of it, and closed mine eyes lest they should "behold vanity," I ceased from myself a little, and my madness was lulled to sleep; and I awoke in Thee, and saw Thee to be infinite, though in another way; and this sight was not derived from the flesh.
