RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples.

1 ALABAD á Jehová, invocad su nombre: haced notorias sus obras en los pueblos.

2 Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works.

2 Cantadle, cantadle salmos: hablad de todas sus maravillas.

3 Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

3 Gloriaos en su santo nombre: alégrese el corazón de los que buscan á Jehová.

4 Seek ye the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually.

4 Buscad á Jehová, y su fortaleza: buscad siempre su rostro.

5 Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;

5 Acordaos de sus maravillas que hizo, de sus prodigios y de los juicios de su boca,

6 O ye seed of Abraham His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.

6 Oh vosotros, simiente de Abraham su siervo, hijos de Jacob, sus escogidos.

7 He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

7 El es Jehová nuestro Dios; en toda la tierra son sus juicios.

8 He hath remembered His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations;

8 Acordóse para siempre de su alianza; de la palabra que mandó para mil generaciones,

9 The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac;

9 La cual concertó con Abraham; y de su juramento á Isaac.

10 And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant;

10 Y establecióla á Jacob por decreto, á Israel por pacto sempiterno,

11 Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.'

11 Diciendo: A ti daré la tierra de Canaán [por] cordel de vuestra heredad.

12 When they were but a few men in number. Yea, very few, and sojourners in it,

12 [Esto] siendo ellos pocos hombres en número, y extranjeros en ella.

13 And when they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,

13 Y anduvieron de gente en gente, de un reino á otro pueblo.

14 He suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, for their sake He reproved kings:

14 No consintió que hombre los agraviase; y por causa de ellos castigó los reyes.

15 'Touch not Mine anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.'

15 No toquéis, [dijo], á mis ungidos, ni hagáis mal á mis profetas.

16 And He called a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.

16 Y llamó al hambre sobre la tierra, y quebrantó todo mantenimiento de pan.

17 He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant;

17 Envió un varón delante de ellos, á José, [que] fué vendido por siervo.

18 His feet they hurt with fetters, his person was laid in iron;

18 Afligieron sus pies con grillos; en hierro fué puesta su persona.

19 Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him.

19 Hasta la hora que llegó su palabra, el dicho de Jehová le probó.

20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the peoples, and set him free.

20 Envió el rey, y soltóle; el señor de los pueblos, y desatóle.

21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possessions;

21 Púsolo por señor de su casa, y por enseñoreador en toda su posesión;

22 To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.

22 Para que reprimiera á sus grandes como él quisiese, y á sus ancianos enseñara sabiduría.

23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

23 Después entró Israel en Egipto, y Jacob fué extranjero en la tierra de Châm.

24 And He increased His people greatly, and made them too mighty for their adversaries.

24 Y multiplicó su pueblo en gran manera, é hízolo fuerte más que sus enemigos.

25 He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.

25 Volvió el corazón de ellos para que aborreciesen á su pueblo, para que contra sus siervos pensasen mal.

26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron whom He had chosen.

26 Envió á su siervo Moisés, [y] á Aarón al cual escogió.

27 They wrought among them His manifold signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.

27 Pusieron en ellos las palabras de sus señales, y sus prodigios en la tierra de Châm.

28 He sent darkness, and it was dark; and they rebelled not against His word.

28 Echó tinieblas, é hizo oscuridad; y no fueron rebeldes á su palabra.

29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

29 Volvió sus aguas en sangre, y mató sus pescados.

30 Their land swarmed with frogs, in the chambers of their kings.

30 Produjo su tierra ranas, [aun] en las cámaras de sus reyes.

31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats in all their borders.

31 Dijo, y vinieron enjambres de moscas, y piojos en todo su término.

32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

32 Volvió en su tierra sus lluvias en granizo, [y] en fuego de llamaradas.

33 He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; and broke the trees of their borders.

33 E hirió sus viñas y sus higueras, y quebró los árboles de su término.

34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the canker-worm without number,

34 Dijo, y vinieron langostas, y pulgón sin número;

35 And did eat up every herb in their land, and did eat up the fruit of their ground.

35 Y comieron toda la hierba de su país, y devoraron el fruto de su tierra.

36 He smote also all the first-born in their land, the first-fruits of all their strength.

36 Hirió además á todos los primogénitos en su tierra, el principio de toda su fuerza.

37 And He brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was none that stumbled among His tribes.

37 Y sacólos con plata y oro; y no hubo en sus tribus enfermo.

38 Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.

38 Egipto se alegró de que salieran; porque su terror había caído sobre ellos.

39 He spread a cloud for a screen; and fire to give light in the night.

39 Extendió una nube por cubierta, y fuego para alumbrar la noche.

40 They asked, and He brought quails, and gave them in plenty the bread of heaven.

40 Pidieron, é hizo venir codornices; y saciólos de pan del cielo.

41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they ran, a river in the dry places.

41 Abrió la peña, y fluyeron aguas; corrieron por los secadales [como] un río.

42 For He remembered His holy word unto Abraham His servant;

42 Porque se acordó de su santa palabra, [dada] á Abraham su siervo.

43 And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.

43 Y sacó á su pueblo con gozo; con júbilo á sus escogidos.

44 And He gave them the lands of the nations, and they took the labour of the peoples in possession;

44 Y dióles las tierras de las gentes; y las labores de las naciones heredaron:

45 That they might keep His statutes, and observe His laws. Hallelujah.

45 Para que guardasen sus estatutos, y observasen sus leyes. 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).

Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CIV)
"Bless the Lord, O my soul." Let the soul of us all, made one in Christ, say this. "O Lord my God, Thou art magnified exceedingly!" (ver. 1). Where art Thou magnified? "Confession and beauty Thou hast put on." Confess ye, that ye may be beautified, that He may put you on. "Clothed with light as a garment" (ver. 2).

Quotes verse 105:15 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XVII, Chapters 9–11)
… commit iniquity I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men; but my mercy will I not take away from him," meaning by stripes the strokes of correction. Hence that saying, "Touch ye not my christs." For what else is that than, Do not harm them?

Quotes verse 105:37 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapters XXV–XXVI)
This is the case where, as we have observed, it often stands instead of with; as for instance, "I will go into thy house in burnt offerings," instead of with burnt offerings and "he brought them forth also by silver and gold," that is to say with silver and gold and "thou goest not forth in our armies" instead of …

Quotes verse 105:8 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XX, Chapters 6–7)
And for the same reason we cannot better interpret the words of the psalm, "He hath been mindful of His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations," than by understanding it to mean "to all generations." "And he cast him into the abyss,"--i.e., cast the devil into the abyss.
