RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 BOOK V 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'

1 ALABAD á Jehová, porque es bueno; porque para siempre [es] su misericordia.

2 So let the redeemed of the LORD say, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary;

2 Dígan[lo] los redimidos de Jehová, los que ha redimido del poder del enemigo,

3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea.

3 Y los ha congregado de las tierras, del oriente y del occidente, del aquilón y de la mar.

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; they found no city of habitation.

4 Anduvieron perdidos por el desierto, por la soledad sin camino, no hallando ciudad de población.

5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

5 Hambrientos y sedientos, su alma desfallecía en ellos.

6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses.

6 Habiendo empero clamado á Jehová en su angustia, librólos de sus aflicciones:

7 And He led them by a straight way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

7 Y dirigiólos por camino derecho, para que viniesen á ciudad de población.

8 Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!

8 Alaben la misericordia de Jehová, y sus maravillas para con los hijos de los hombres.

9 For He hath satisfied the longing soul, and the hungry soul He hath filled with good.

9 Porque sació al alma menesterosa, y llenó de bien al alma hambrienta.

10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron —

10 Los que moraban en tinieblas y sombra de muerte, aprisionados en aflicción y en hierros;

11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High.

11 Por cuanto fueron rebeldes á las palabras de Jehová, y aborrecieron el consejo del Altísimo,

12 Therefore He humbled their heart with travail, they stumbled, and there was none to help —

12 Por lo que quebrantó él con trabajo sus corazones, cayeron y no hubo quien [les] ayudase;

13 They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses.

13 Luego que clamaron á Jehová en su angustia, librólos de sus aflicciones.

14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder.

14 Sacólos de las tinieblas y de la sombra de muerte, y rompió sus prisiones.

15 Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!

15 Alaben la misericordia de Jehová, y sus maravillas para con los hijos de los hombres.

16 For He hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

16 Porque quebrantó las puertas de bronce, y desmenuzó los cerrojos de hierro.

17 Crazed because of the way of their transgression, and afflicted because of their iniquities —

17 Los insensatos, á causa del camino de su rebelión y á causa de sus maldades, fueron afligidos.

18 Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near unto the gates of death —

18 Su alma abominó toda vianda, y llegaron hasta las puertas de la muerte.

19 They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses;

19 Mas clamaron á Jehová en su angustia, y salvólos de sus aflicciones.

20 He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their graves.

20 Envió su palabra, y curólos, y librólos de su ruina.

21 Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!

21 Alaben la misericordia de Jehová, y sus maravillas para con los hijos de los hombres:

22 And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with singing.

22 Y sacrifiquen sacrificios de alabanza, y publiquen sus obras con júbilo.

23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters —

23 Los que descienden á la mar en navíos, y hacen negocio en las muchas aguas,

24 These saw the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep;

24 Ellos han visto las obras de Jehová, y sus maravillas en el profundo.

25 For He commanded, and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves thereof;

25 El dijo, é hizo saltar el viento de la tempestad, que levanta sus ondas.

26 They mounted up to the heaven, they went down to the deeps; their soul melted away because of trouble;

26 Suben á los cielos, descienden á los abismos: sus almas se derriten con el mal.

27 They reeled to and fro, and staggered like a drunken man, and all their wisdom was swallowed up —

27 Tiemblan, y titubean como borrachos, y toda su ciencia es perdida.

28 They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distresses.

28 Claman empero á Jehová en su angustia, y líbralos de sus aflicciones.

29 He made the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof were still.

29 Hace parar la tempestad en sosiego, y se apaciguan sus ondas.

30 Then were they glad because they were quiet, and He led them unto their desired haven.

30 Alégranse luego porque se reposaron; y él los guía al puerto que deseaban.

31 Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!

31 Alaben la misericordia de Jehová, y sus maravillas para con los hijos de los hombres.

32 Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, and praise Him in the seat of the elders.

32 Y ensálcenlo en la congregación del pueblo; y en consistorio de ancianos lo alaben.

33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and watersprings into a thirsty ground;

33 El vuelve los ríos en desierto, y los manantiales de las aguas en secadales;

34 A fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

34 La tierra fructífera en salados, por la maldad de los que la habitan.

35 He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, and a dry land into watersprings.

35 Vuelve el desierto en estanques de aguas, y la tierra seca en manantiales.

36 And there He maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation;

36 Y allí aposenta á los hambrientos, y disponen ciudad para habitación;

37 And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase.

37 Y siembran campos, y plantan viñas, y rinden crecido fruto.

38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

38 Y los bendice, y se multiplican en gran manera; y no disminuye sus bestias.

39 Again, they are minished and dwindle away through oppression of evil and sorrow.

39 Y luego son menoscabados y abatidos á causa de tiranía, de males y congojas.

40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.

40 El derrama menosprecio sobre los príncipes, y les hace andar errados, vagabundos, sin camino:

41 Yet setteth He the needy on high from affliction, and maketh his families like a flock.

41 Y levanta al pobre de la miseria, y hace [multiplicar] las familias como [rebaños de] ovejas.

42 The upright see it, and are glad; and all iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

42 Vean los rectos, y alégrense; y toda maldad cierre su boca.

43 Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them consider the mercies of the LORD.

43 ¿Quién es sabio y guardará estas cosas, y entenderá las misericordias de Jehová?

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 CVI)
This Psalm also hath the title Allelujah prefixed to it: and this twice. But some say, that one Allelujah belongeth to the end of the former Psalm, the other to the beginning of this.

Quotes verse 107:16 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXVI)
How then were "the gates of brass burst, and the bars of iron broken in sunder"? By His body; for then first was a body shown, immortal, and destroying the tyranny of death.

Quotes verse 107:20 John of Damascus, An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith (Book IV, Chapters XVII–XVIII)
… through an instrument or a servant, but as through His essential and hypostatic Word and Wisdom and Power, because but one action is observed in Father and Son, as for example, All things were made by Him, and He sent His Word and healed them, and That they may believe that Thou hast sent Me.
