FBV Free Bible Version
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 For the music director. A psalm of David, servant of the Lord. Evil speaks to the wicked, deep down in their minds, for in their eyes they have no need to respect God.
1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David, siervo del Señor. LA iniquidad del impío me dice al corazón: No hay temor de Dios delante de sus ojos.
2 In their own eyes they're so wonderful that they can't even see their sin and do something about it.
2 Lisonjéase, por tanto, en sus propios ojos, hasta que su iniquidad sea hallada aborrecible.
3 Whatever they say is deceptive and deceitful. They no longer do anything wisely or for good.
3 Las palabras de su boca son iniquidad y fraude; no quiso entender para bien hacer.
4 Even when they're lying in bed they think up evil schemes. They commit themselves to a way of life that is no good. They choose evil, and don't reject it.
4 Iniquidad piensa sobre su cama; está en camino no bueno, el mal no aborrece.
5 Lord, your faithful love reaches to the heavens, your trustworthiness to the clouds.
5 Jehová, hasta los cielos es tu misericordia; tu verdad hasta las nubes.
6 Your goodness is like the highest mountains, your fairness is like the deepest oceans. Lord, you save both the people and the animals.
6 Tu justicia como los montes de Dios, tus juicios abismo grande: oh Jehová, al hombre y al animal conservas.
7 God, how priceless is your trustworthy love! Everyone can find protection under the shelter of your wings.
7 ¡Cuán ilustre, oh Dios, es tu misericordia! Por eso los hijos de los hombres se amparan bajo la sombra de tus alas.
8 They gain strength from the wonderful food you provide in your house; you give them drink from your refreshing river.
8 Embriagarse han de la grosura de tu casa; y tú los abrevarás del torrente de tus delicias.
9 You are the source of life; you are the light by which we see.
9 Porque contigo está el manantial de la vida: en tu luz veremos la luz.
10 Extend your trustworthy love to those who know you, and your goodness to those who truly live right.
10 Extiende tu misericordia á los que te conocen, y tu justicia á los rectos de corazón.
11 Don't let the arrogant trample me down; don't let the wicked drive me out.
11 No venga contra mí pie de soberbia; y mano de impíos no me mueva.
12 Now look! See how those who do evil have fallen—thrown down, unable to get up.
12 Allí cayeron los obradores de iniquidad; fueron rempujados, y no pudieron levantarse.

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. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XXXV)

    The title of it causeth us no delay, for it is both brief, and to be understood not difficult, especially to those nursed in the Church of God. For so it is, "To David himself." The Psalm then is to David himself: now David is interpreted, Strong in hand, or Desirable.

  3. Quotes verse 36:5 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture VIII)

    Some also sharing their error and misusing the text which says, "And Thy truth unto the clouds," have dared to circumscribe God's providence by the clouds and the heaven, and to alienate from God the things on earth; having forgotten the Psalm which says, If I go up into heaven, Thou art there, if I go down into hell, …

  4. Quotes verse 36:9 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book IX, Chapters IX–X)

    But yet we opened wide the mouth of our heart, after those supernal streams of Thy fountain, "the fountain of life," which is "with Thee;" that being sprinkled with it according to our capacity, we might in some measure weigh so high a mystery.
