Notes on this text (1)
- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Iudah, We haue a strong citie: saluation shall God set for walles and bulwarkes.
1 EN aquel día cantarán este cantar en tierra de Judá: Fuerte ciudad tenemos: salud puso [Dios] por muros y antemuro.
2 Open ye the gates that the righteous nation, which keepeth the trueth, may enter in.
2 Abrid las puertas, y entrará la gente justa, guardadora de verdades.
3 By an assured purpose wilt thou preserue perfite peace, because they trusted in thee.
3 Tú [le] guardarás en completa paz, [cuyo] pensamiento en [ti] persevera; porque en ti se ha confiado.
4 Trust in the Lord for euer: for in the Lord God is strength for euermore.
4 Confiad en Jehová perpetuamente: porque en el Señor Jehová está la fortaleza de los siglos.
5 For hee will bring downe them that dwell on hie: the hie citie he will abase: euen vnto the ground wil he cast it downe, and bring it vnto dust.
5 Porque derribó los que moraban en lugar sublime: humilló la ciudad ensalzada, humillóla hasta la tierra, derribóla hasta el polvo.
6 The foote shall treade it downe, euen the feete of the poore, and the steppes of the needie.
6 Hollarála pie, los pies del afligido, los pasos de los menesterosos.
7 The way of the iust is righteousnesse: thou wilt make equall the righteous path of the iust.
7 El camino del justo es rectitud: Tú, Recto, pesas el camino del justo.
8 Also we, O Lord, haue waited for thee in the way of thy iudgemets: the desire of our soule is to thy Name, and to the remembrance of thee.
8 También en el camino de tus juicios, oh Jehová, te hemos esperado: á tu nombre y á tu memoria es el deseo del alma.
9 With my soule haue I desired thee in the night, and with my spirit within mee will I seeke thee in the morning: for seeing thy iudgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world shall learne righteousnesse.
9 Con mi alma te he deseado en la noche; y en tanto que me durare el espíritu en medio de mí, madrugaré á buscarte: porque luego que hay juicios tuyos en la tierra, los moradores del mundo aprenden justicia.
10 Let mercie bee shewed to the wicked, yet hee will not learne righteousnesse: in the land of vprightnesse will he do wickedly, and will not beholde the maiestie of the Lord.
10 Alcanzará piedad el impío, y no aprenderá justicia; en tierra de rectitud hará iniquidad, y no mirará á la majestad de Jehová.
11 O Lord, they will not beholde thine hie hande: but they shall see it, and bee confounded with the zeale of the people, and the fire of thine enemies shall deuoure them.
11 Jehová, bien que se levante tu mano, no ven: verán [al cabo], y se avergonzarán los que envidian á [tu] pueblo; y á tus enemigos fuego los consumirá.
12 Lord, vnto vs thou wilt ordeine peace: for thou also hast wrought all our workes for vs.
12 Jehová, tú nos depararás paz; porque también obraste en nosotros todas nuestras obras.
13 O Lord our God, other lords beside thee, haue ruled vs, but we will remember thee onely, and thy Name.
13 Jehová Dios nuestro, señores se han enseñoreado de nosotros fuera de ti; mas en ti solamente nos acordaremos de tu nombre.
14 The dead shall not liue, neither shall the dead arise, because thou hast visited and scattered them, and destroyed all their memorie.
14 Muertos [son], no vivirán: han fallecido, no resucitarán: porque los visitaste, y destruiste, y deshiciste toda su memoria.
15 Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord: thou hast increased the nation: thou art made glorious: thou hast enlarged all the coastes of the earth.
15 Añadiste al pueblo, oh Jehová, añadiste al pueblo: hicístete glorioso: extendíste[lo] [hasta] todos los términos de la tierra.
16 Lord, in trouble haue they visited thee: they powred out a prayer when thy chastening was vpon them.
16 Jehová, en la tribulación te buscaron: derramaron oración [cuando] los castigaste.
17 Like as a woman with childe, that draweth neere to the trauaile, is in sorow, and cryeth in her paines, so haue we bene in thy sight, O Lord.
17 Como la preñada [cuando] se acerca el parto gime, y da gritos con sus dolores, así hemos sido delante de ti, oh Jehová.
18 We haue coceiued, we haue borne in paine, as though we should haue brought forth winde: there was no helpe in the earth, neither did the inhabitants of the world fall.
18 Concebimos, tuvimos dolores de parto, parimos como viento: salud ninguna hicimos en la tierra, ni cayeron los moradores del mundo.
19 Thy dead men shall liue: euen with my body shall they rise. Awake, and sing, ye that dwel in dust: for thy dewe is as the dew of herbes, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
19 Tus muertos vivirán; [junto con] mi cuerpo muerto resucitarán. ¡Despertad y cantad, moradores del polvo! porque tu rocío, [cual] rocío de hortalizas; y la tierra echará los muertos.
20 Come, my people: enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doores after thee: hide thy selfe for a very litle while, vntill the indignation passe ouer.
20 Anda, pueblo mío, éntrate en tus aposentos, cierra tras ti tus puertas; escóndete un poquito, por un momento, en tanto que pasa la ira.
21 For lo, the Lord commeth out of his place, to visite the iniquitie of the inhabitants of the earth vpon them: and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more hide her slaine.
21 Porque he aquí que Jehová sale de su lugar, para visitar la maldad del morador de la tierra contra él; y la tierra descubrirá sus sangres, y no más encubrirá sus muertos.

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).
For it is written, "Enter into thy secret chambers for a little time, until my wrath and fury pass away; and I will remember a propitious day, and will raise you up out of your graves." Blessed are we, beloved, if we keep the commandments of God in the harmony of love; that so through love our sins may be …
… joy of this nature at the resurrection of the just, when he says: "The dead shall rise again; those, too, who are in the tombs shall arise, and those who are in the earth shall rejoice. For the dew from Thee is health to them." And this again Ezekiel also says: "Behold, I will open your tombs, and will bring …
For as in a good sense it is said, "The zeal of Thine house hath consumed me," so in a bad sense it is said, "Zeal hath possessed the uninstructed people, and now fire shall consume the enemies." "And now," that is to say, not the fire of the last judgment.

Heed not those who say that this body is not raised; for it is raised: and Esaias is witness, when he says: The dead shall arise, and they that are in the tombs shall awake: and according to Daniel, Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall arise, some to everlasting life, and some to …
