WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 They rejoice from the wilderness and dry place, || And the desert rejoices, || And flourishes as the rose,
1 ALEGRARSE han el desierto y la soledad: el yermo se gozará, y florecerá como la rosa.
1 The wilderness and the dry land will be glad. The desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.
2 Flourishing it flourishes, and rejoices, || Indeed, [with] joy and singing, || The glory of Lebanon has been given to it, || The beauty of Carmel and Sharon, || They see the glory of YHWH, || The majesty of our God.
2 Florecerá profusamente, y también se alegrará y cantará con júbilo: la gloria del Líbano le será dada, la hermosura de Carmel y de Sarón. Ellos verán la gloria de Jehová, la hermosura del Dios nuestro.
2 It will blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing. Lebanon’s glory will be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They will see Yahweh’s glory, the excellence of our God.
3 Strengthen the feeble hands, || Indeed, strengthen the stumbling knees.
3 Confortad á las manos cansadas, roborad las vacilantes rodillas.
3 Strengthen the weak hands, and make the feeble knees firm.
4 Say to the hurried of heart, “Be strong, || Do not fear, behold, your God; vengeance comes, || The repayment of God, || He Himself comes and saves you.”
4 Decid á los de corazón apocado: Confortaos, no temáis: he aquí que vuestro Dios viene [con] venganza, [con] pago; el mismo Dios vendrá, y os salvará.
4 Tell those who have a fearful heart, “Be strong! Don’t be afraid! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, God’s retribution. He will come and save you.
5 Then eyes of the blind are opened, || And ears of the deaf are unstopped,
5 Entonces los ojos de los ciegos serán abiertos, y los oídos de los sordos se abrirán.
5 Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
6 Then the lame leap as a deer, || And the tongue of the mute sings, || For waters have been broken up in a wilderness, || And streams in a desert.
6 Entonces el cojo saltará como un ciervo, y cantará la lengua del mudo; porque aguas serán cavadas en el desierto, y torrentes en la soledad.
6 Then the lame man will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing; for waters will break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
7 And the mirage has become a pond, || And the thirsty land—fountains of waters, || In the habitation of dragons, || Its place of lying down, || A court for reed and rush.
7 El lugar seco será [tornado] en estanque, y el secadal en manaderos de aguas; en la habitación de chacales, en su cama, será lugar de cañas y de juncos.
7 The burning sand will become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water. Grass with reeds and rushes will be in the habitation of jackals, where they lay.
8 And a highway has been there, and a way, || And it is called the “Way of Holiness.” The unclean do not pass over it, || And He Himself [is] by them, || Whoever is going in the way—even fools do not err.
8 Y habrá allí calzada y camino, y será llamado Camino de Santidad; no pasará por él inmundo; y [habrá] para ellos en él quien los acompañe, de tal manera que los insensatos no yerren.
8 A highway will be there, a road, and it will be called “The Holy Way”. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools shall not go there.
9 No lion is there, || Indeed, a destructive beast does not ascend it, || It is not found there, || And the redeemed have walked,
9 No habrá allí león, ni bestia fiera subirá por él, ni allí se hallará, para que caminen los redimidos.
9 No lion will be there, nor will any ravenous animal go up on it. They will not be found there; but the redeemed will walk there.
10 And the ransomed of YHWH return, || And have entered Zion with singing, || And [with] continuous joy on their head, || They attain joy and gladness, || And sorrow and sighing have fled away!
10 Y los redimidos de Jehová volverán, y vendrán á Sión con alegría; y gozo perpetuo será sobre sus cabezas: y retendrán el gozo y alegría, y huirá la tristeza y el gemido.
10 Then Yahweh’s ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”

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).
There are these words: "At His coming the lame shall leap as an hart, and the tongue of the stammerer shall be clear speaking: the blind shall see, and the lepers shall be cleansed; and the dead shall rise, and walk about." And that He did those things, you can learn from the Acts of Pontius Pilate.
Those, again, who declare that at His coming "the lame man shall leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall [speak] plainly, and the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall hear," and that "the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, shall be strengthened," and that "the dead …
But of our state there, no such word at all is spoken, but all the contrary; that "grief and sorrow and sighing have fled away." And that "men shall come from the east and from the west, and shall recline in the bosoms of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob." And that the region there is a spiritual bride-chamber, and bright …
