Notes on this text (2)
- Greek and Latin Bibles number most Psalms one lower than Hebrew and English Bibles.
- Psalm titles are printed as the start of verse 1.
1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: [for] praise is comely for the upright.
1 ALEGRAOS, justos, en Jehová: á los rectos es hermosa la alabanza.
2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings.
2 Celebrad á Jehová con arpa: cantadle con salterio y decacordio.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
3 Cantadle canción nueva: hacedlo bien tañendo con júbilo.
4 For the word of the LORD [is] right; and all his works [are done] in truth.
4 Porque recta es la palabra de Jehová, y toda su obra con verdad [hecha].
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
5 El ama justicia y juicio: de la misericordia de Jehová está llena la tierra.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
6 Por la palabra de Jehová fueron hechos los cielos, y todo el ejército de ellos por el espíritu de su boca.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
7 El junta como en un montón las aguas de la mar: él pone en depósitos los abismos.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
8 Tema á Jehová toda la tierra: teman de él todos los habitadores del mundo.
9 For he spake, and it was [done;] he commanded, and it stood fast.
9 Porque él dijo, y fué hecho; él mandó, y existió.
10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
10 Jehová hace nulo el consejo de las gentes, y frustra las maquinaciones de los pueblos.
11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
11 El consejo de Jehová permanecerá para siempre; los pensamientos de su corazón por todas las generaciones.
12 Blessed [is] the nation whose God [is] the LORD; [and] the people [whom] he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
12 Bienaventurada la gente de que Jehová es su Dios; el pueblo á quien escogió por heredad para sí.
13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
13 Desde los cielos miró Jehová; vió á todos los hijos de los hombres:
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
14 Desde la morada de su asiento miró sobre todos los moradores de la tierra.
15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
15 El formó el corazón de todos ellos; él considera todas sus obras.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
16 El rey no es salvo con la multitud del ejército: no escapa el valiente por la mucha fuerza.
17 An horse [is] a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver [any] by his great strength.
17 Vanidad es el caballo para salvarse: por la grandeza de su fuerza no librará.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD [is] upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
18 He aquí, el ojo de Jehová sobre los que le temen, sobre los que esperan en su misericordia;
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
19 Para librar sus almas de la muerte, y para darles vida en el hambre.
20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he [is] our help and our shield.
20 Nuestra alma esperó á Jehová; nuestra ayuda y nuestro escudo es él.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
21 Por tanto en él se alegrará nuestro corazón, porque en su santo nombre hemos confiado.
22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
22 Sea tu misericordia, oh Jehová, sobre nosotros, como esperamos en ti.

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).
To David himself; for understanding; by which it is understood that not by the merits of works, but by the grace of God, man is delivered, confessing his sins. 2. "Blessed are they whose unrighteousness is forgiven, and whose sins are covered" (ver. 1): and whose sins are buried in oblivion.

Thus saith the Scripture, to that effect: "By the Word of the Lord were the heavens established, and all the might of them, by the spirit of His mouth." And again, "All things were made by Him, and without Him was nothing made." There is no exception or deduction stated; but the Father made all things by Him, whether visible …
Thence we fell again to sighs and groans, and our steps to follow the broad and beaten ways of the world; for many thoughts were in our heart, but Thy counsel standeth for ever. Out of which counsel Thou didst mock ours, and preparedst Thine own, purposing to give us meat in due season, and to open Thy hand, and …

One, because the creative works of Christ are no other than the Father's; for the creation of all things is one, the Father having made them through the Son: For He spake, and they were made; He commanded, and they were created, saith the Psalmist.

"For by the word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath [the Spirit] of His mouth." The Word then is not a mere significant impression on the air, borne by the organs of speech; nor is the Spirit of His mouth a vapour, emitted by the organs of respiration; but the …
