Notes on this text (1)
- Greek and Latin Bibles number most Psalms one lower than Hebrew and English Bibles.
1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord's reputation! Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord
1 Aleluya. ALABAD el nombre de Jehová; alabad[le], siervos de Jehová;
2 who worship in the house of the Lord, in the courts of our God.
2 Los que estáis en la casa de Jehová, en los atrios de la casa de nuestro Dios.
3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praises to his character because it is wonderful!
3 Alabad á JAH, porque es bueno Jehová: cantad salmos á su nombre, porque es suave.
4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel as his very own.
4 Porque JAH ha escogido á Jacob para sí, á Israel por posesión suya.
5 I know how great the Lord is—our Lord is greater than all gods.
5 Porque yo se que Jehová es grande, y el Señor nuestro, mayor que todos los dioses.
6 The Lord does whatever he wants throughout heaven and earth, on the seas and in the ocean depths.
6 Todo lo que quiso Jehová, ha hecho en los cielos y en la tierra, en las mares y en todos los abismos.
7 He causes the clouds to rise all over the earth, he makes lightning flash and give rain, he sends the winds from his storehouses.
7 El hace subir las nubes del cabo de la tierra; él hizo los relámpagos para la lluvia; él saca los vientos de sus tesoros.
8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both human and animal.
8 El [es el] que hirió los primogénitos de Egipto, desde el hombre hasta la bestia.
9 He did wonderful miracles among you in Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
9 Envió señales y prodigios en medio de ti, oh Egipto, sobre Faraón, y sobre todos sus siervos.
10 He struck down many nations, he killed powerful kings, such as
10 El que hirió muchas gentes, y mató reyes poderosos:
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kings who ruled in Canaan.
11 A Sehón rey Amorrheo, y á Og rey de Basán, y á todos los reinos de Canaán.
12 He handed over their lands to Israel, his special people, for them to possess.
12 Y dió la tierra de ellos en heredad, en heredad á Israel su pueblo.
13 Your reputation, Lord, stands forever; you, Lord, are remembered for all generations.
13 Oh Jehová, eterno [es] tu nombre; tu memoria, oh Jehová para generación y generación.
14 The Lord will vindicate his people; he will show compassion to those who follow him.
14 Porque juzgará Jehová su pueblo, y arrepentiráse sobre sus siervos.
15 The idols of the foreign nations are only objects of silver and gold, made by human hands.
15 Los ídolos de las gentes son plata y oro, obra de manos de hombres.
16 They have mouths, but can't speak; they have eyes, but can't see.
16 Tienen boca, y no hablan; tienen ojos, y no ven;
17 They have ears, but can't hear; they can't even breathe!
17 Tienen orejas, y no oyen; tampoco hay espíritu en sus bocas.
18 Those who make idols will become just like them, and so will everyone who trusts in them.
18 Como ellos son los que los hacen; todos los que en ellos confían.
19 People of Israel, praise the Lord! Descendants of Aaron, praise the Lord!
19 Casa de Israel, bendecid á Jehová: casa de Aarón, bendecid á Jehová:
20 Levites, praise the Lord! Everyone who worships the Lord, praise the Lord!
20 Casa de Leví, bendecid á Jehová: los que teméis á Jehová, bendecid á Jehová.
21 Praise the Lord from Zion, for he lives in Jerusalem! Praise the Lord!
21 Bendito de Sión Jehová, que mora en Jerusalem. 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).
(ver. 1), "who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God" (ver. 2). Why has he added, "in the courts"? Courts mean the wider spaces of a house. He who stands in the courts is not straitened, is not confined, in some fashion is enlarged.

For so many measures of waters lie upon the clouds, yet they are not rent: but come down with all good order upon the earth. Who bringeth the winds out of their treasuries?

For whatsoever the Lord pleased that did He in heaven and in earth, and no one resisted His will.

… with how great assurance will the purified mass, standing at the Right Hand, fearing now for itself the admixture of no evil men, nor the loss of any of the good, now about to reign with Christ, say, "I know that the Lord is great"!
