GNV Geneva Bible (1599)
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. In thee, O Lord, haue I put my trust: let mee neuer be confounded: deliuer me in thy righteousnesse.
1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. EN ti, oh Jehová, he esperado; no sea yo confundido para siempre: líbrame en tu justicia.
2 Bowe downe thine eare to me: make haste to deliuer mee: be vnto me a stronge rocke, and an house of defence to saue me.
2 Inclina á mí tu oído, líbrame presto; séme por roca de fortaleza, por casa fuerte para salvarme.
3 For thou art my rocke and my fortresse: therefore for thy Names sake direct mee and guide me.
3 Porque tú eres mi roca y mi castillo; y por tu nombre me guiarás, y me encaminarás.
4 Drawe mee out of the nette, that they haue layde priuilie for mee: for thou art my strength.
4 Me sacarás de la red que han escondido para mí; porque tú eres mi fortaleza.
5 Into thine hand I commend my spirit: for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of trueth.
5 En tu mano encomiendo mi espíritu: tú me has redimido, oh Jehová, Dios de verdad.
6 I haue hated them that giue them selues to deceitfull vanities: for I trust in the Lord.
6 Aborrecí á los que esperan en vanidades ilusorias; mas yo en Jehová he esperado.
7 I wil be glad and reioyce in thy mercie: for thou hast seene my trouble: thou hast knowen my soule in aduersities,
7 Me gozaré y alegraré en tu misericordia; porque has visto mi aflicción; has conocido mi alma en las angustias.
8 And thou hast not shut me vp in the hand of the enemie, but hast set my feete at large.
8 Y no me encerraste en mano del enemigo; hiciste estar mis pies en anchura.
9 Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: for I am in trouble: mine eye, my soule and my bellie are consumed with griefe.
9 Ten misericordia de mí, oh Jehová, que estoy en angustia: hanse consumido de pesar mis ojos, mi alma, y mis entrañas.
10 For my life is wasted with heauinesse, and my yeeres with mourning: my strength faileth for my paine, and my bones are consumed.
10 Porque mi vida se va gastando de dolor, y mis años de suspirar: hase enflaquecido mi fuerza á causa de mi iniquidad, y mis huesos se han consumido.
11 I was a reproch among all mine enemies, but specially among my neighbours: and a feare to mine acquaintance, who seeing me in the streete, fled from me.
11 De todos mis enemigos he sido oprobio, y de mis vecinos en gran manera, y horror á mis conocidos: los que me veían fuera, huían de mí.
12 I am forgotten, as a dead man out of minde: I am like a broken vessell.
12 He sido olvidado de [su] corazón como un muerto: he venido á ser como un vaso perdido.
13 For I haue heard the rayling of great men: feare was on euery side, while they conspired together against mee, and consulted to take my life.
13 Porque he oído afrenta de muchos; miedo por todas partes, cuando consultaban juntos contra mí, é ideaban quitarme la vida.
14 But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
14 Mas yo en ti confié, oh Jehová: yo dije: Dios mío eres tú.
15 My times are in thine hande: deliuer mee from the hande of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
15 En tu mano están mis tiempos: líbrame de la mano de mis enemigos, y de mis perseguidores.
16 Make thy face to shine vpon thy seruant, and saue me through thy mercie.
16 Haz resplandecer tu rostro sobre tu siervo: sálvame por tu misericordia.
17 Let me not be confounded, O Lord: for I haue called vpon thee: let the wicked bee put to confusion, and to silence in the graue.
17 No sea yo confundido, oh Jehová, ya que te he invocado; sean corridos los impíos, estén mudos en el profundo.
18 Let the lying lips be made dumme, which cruelly, proudly and spitefully speake against the righteous.
18 Enmudezcan los labios mentirosos, que hablan contra el justo cosas duras, con soberbia y menosprecio.
19 Howe great is thy goodnesse, which thou hast layde vp for them, that feare thee! and done to them, that trust in thee, euen before the sonnes of men!
19 ¡Cuán grande es tu bien, que has guardado para los que te temen, que has obrado para los que esperan en ti, delante de los hijos de los hombres!
20 Thou doest hide them priuily in thy presence from the pride of men: thou keepest them secretly in thy Tabernacle from the strife of tongues.
20 Los esconderás en el secreto de tu rostro de las arrogancias del hombre: los pondrás en un tabernáculo á cubierto de contención de lenguas.
21 Blessed be the Lord: for hee hath shewed his marueilous kindenesse toward me in a strong citie.
21 Bendito Jehová, porque ha hecho maravillosa su misericordia para conmigo en ciudad fuerte.
22 Though I said in mine haste, I am cast out of thy sight, yet thou heardest the voyce of my prayer, when I cryed vnto thee.
22 Y decía yo en mi premura: Cortado soy de delante de tus ojos: tú empero oíste la voz de mis ruegos, cuando á ti clamaba.
23 Loue ye the Lord all his Saintes: for the Lord preserueth the faithfull, and rewardeth abundantly the proud doer.
23 Amad á Jehová todos vosotros sus santos: á los fieles guarda Jehová, y paga abundantemente al que obra con soberbia.
24 All ye that trust in the Lord, be strong, and he shall establish your heart.
24 Esforzaos todos vosotros los que esperáis en Jehová, y tome vuestro corazón aliento.

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 XXX)

    To the end, a Psalm of the joy of the Resurrection, and the change, the renewing of the body to an immortal state, and not only of the Lord, but also of the whole Church.

  3. Quotes verse 31:19 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XXI, Chapters 17–19)

    However, they think that the divine oracles are not altogether silent on this point; for they ask to what purpose is it said, "How great is Thy goodness which Thou hast hidden for them that fear Thee," if it be not to teach us that the great and hidden sweetness of God's mercy is concealed in order that men may …

  4. Quotes verse 31:19 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XXI, Chapters 22–24)

    But that these perversely compassionate persons may see what is the purport of these words, "How great is the abundance of Thy sweetness, Lord, which Thou hast hidden for them that fear Thee," let them read what follows: "And Thou hast perfected it for them that hope in Thee." For what means, "Thou hast hidden it for them that fear …
