RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 A psalm of David. A psalm for the dedication of the Temple. I want to tell everyone how good you are, Lord, for you saved me, and you didn't let my enemies triumph over me.
1 Salmo cantado en la dedicación de la Casa: [Salmo] de David. GLORIFICARTE he, oh Jehová; porque me has ensalzado, y no hiciste á mis enemigos alegrarse de mí.
2 Lord, my God, I called out to you for help, and you have healed me.
2 Jehová Dios mío, á ti clamé, y me sanaste.
3 Lord, you rescued me from the grave, you brought me back to life, saving me from going down into the pit of death.
3 Oh Jehová, hiciste subir mi alma del sepulcro, dísteme vida, para que no descendiese á la sepultura.
4 You who trust the Lord, sing praises to him, and be thankful for his holy character!
4 Cantad á Jehová, vosotros sus santos, y celebrad la memoria de su santidad.
5 For his anger only lasts a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime. You may spend the night in tears, but happiness comes with the morning.
5 Porque un momento será su furor; [mas] en su voluntad está [la] vida: por la tarde durará el lloro, y á la mañana [vendrá] la alegría.
6 When things were going well, I said, “Nothing will ever shake me!”
6 Y dije yo en mi prosperidad: no seré jamás conmovido;
7 Lord, when you showed me your favor I stood as strong as a mountain; when you turned away from me I was terrified.
7 Porque tú, Jehová, por tu benevolencia has asentado mi monte con fortaleza. Escondiste tu rostro, fuí conturbado.
8 I called out to you for help, Lord. I asked the Lord for grace, saying,
8 A ti, oh Jehová, clamaré; y al Señor suplicaré.
9 What would you gain if I die, if I go down into the pit of death? Would my dust praise you? Would it tell of your trustworthiness?
9 ¿Qué provecho hay en mi muerte, cuando yo descienda al hoyo? ¿Te alabará el polvo? ¿anunciará tu verdad?
10 Please listen to me, Lord, and be gracious to me! Lord, you are the one who helps me.
10 Oye, oh Jehová, y ten misericordia de mí: Jehová, sé tú mi ayudador.
11 You have turned my weeping into dancing. You have taken off my clothes of sackcloth and dressed me in happiness,
11 Has tornado mi endecha en baile; desataste mi saco, y ceñísteme de alegría.
12 so I can sing praises to you and not keep quiet. Lord my God, I will thank you forever!
12 Por tanto á ti cantaré, gloria [mía], y no estaré callado. Jehová Dios mío, te alabaré para siempre.

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).

  1. Quotes verse 30:11 Augustine of Hippo, Homilies on the First Epistle of John (Homily IX)

    "Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; to the end that my glory may sing to thee, and that I be not pricked." What is this, "That I be not pricked?" That there be not that which shall goad my conscience.
