Notes on this text (1)
- Greek and Latin Bibles number most Psalms one lower than Hebrew and English Bibles.
1 Bless, O my soul, YHWH! YHWH, my God, || You have been very great, || You have put on splendor and majesty.
1 BENDICE, alma mía, á Jehová. Jehová, Dios mío, mucho te has engrandecido; haste vestido de gloria y de magnificencia.
2 Covering Himself [with] light as a garment, || Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,
2 El que se cubre de luz como de vestidura, que extiende los cielos como una cortina;
3 Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, || Who is making thick clouds His chariot, || Who is walking on wings of wind,
3 Que establece sus aposentos entre las aguas; el que pone las nubes por su carroza, el que anda sobre las alas del viento;
4 Making His messengers—the winds, || His ministers—the flaming fire.
4 El que hace á sus ángeles espíritus, sus ministros al fuego flameante.
5 He has founded earth on its bases, || It is not moved for all time and forever.
5 El fundó la tierra sobre sus basas; no será jamás removida.
6 The abyss! You have covered it as with clothing, || Waters stand above hills.
6 Con el abismo, como con vestido, la cubriste; sobre los montes estaban las aguas.
7 They flee from Your rebuke, || They hurry away from the voice of Your thunder.
7 A tu reprensión huyeron; al sonido de tu trueno se apresuraron;
8 They go up hills—they go down valleys, || To a place You have founded for them.
8 Subieron los montes, descendieron los valles, al lugar que tú les fundaste.
9 You have set a border, they do not pass over, || They do not turn back to cover the earth.
9 Pusísteles término, el cual no traspasarán; ni volverán á cubrir la tierra.
10 He is sending forth fountains in valleys, || They go on between hills.
10 [Tú eres] el que envías las fuentes por los arroyos; van entre los montes.
11 They water every beast of the field, || Wild donkeys break their thirst.
11 Abrevan á todas las bestias del campo: quebrantan su sed los asnos montaraces.
12 The bird of the heavens dwells by them, || From between the branches || They give forth the voice.
12 Junto á aquellos habitarán las aves de los cielos; entre las ramas dan voces.
13 Watering hills from His upper chambers, || The earth is satisfied from the fruit of Your works.
13 El que riega los montes desde sus aposentos: del fruto de sus obras se sacia la tierra.
14 Causing grass to spring up for livestock, || And herb for the service of man, || To bring forth bread from the earth,
14 El que hace producir el heno para las bestias, y la hierba para el servicio del hombre; sacando el pan de la tierra.
15 And wine—it makes the heart of man glad, || To cause the face to shine from oil, || And bread—it supports the heart of man.
15 Y el vino que alegra el corazón del hombre, [y] el aceite que hace lucir el rostro, y el pan que sustenta el corazón del hombre.
16 The trees of YHWH [are] satisfied, || Cedars of Lebanon that He has planted,
16 Llénanse de [jugo] los árboles de Jehová, los cedros del Líbano que él plantó.
17 Where birds make nests, || The stork—the firs [are] her house.
17 Allí anidan las aves; en las hayas [hace] su casa la cigüeña.
18 The high hills [are] for wild goats, rocks [are] a refuge for hyraxes,
18 Los montes altos para las cabras monteses; las peñas, madrigueras para los conejos.
19 He made the moon for seasons, || The sun has known his place of entrance.
19 Hizo la luna para los tiempos: el sol conoce su ocaso.
20 You set darkness, and it is night, || Every beast of the forest creeps in it.
20 Pone las tinieblas, y es la noche: en ella corretean todas las bestias de la selva.
21 The young lions are roaring for prey, || And to seek their food from God.
21 Los leoncillos braman á la presa, y para buscar de Dios su comida.
22 The sun rises, they are gathered, || And they crouch in their dens.
22 Sale el sol, recógense, y échanse en sus cuevas.
23 Man goes forth to his work, || And to his service—until evening.
23 Sale el hombre á su hacienda, y á su labranza hasta la tarde.
24 How many have been Your works, O YHWH, || You have made all of them in wisdom, || The earth is full of your possessions.
24 ¡Cuán muchas son tus obras, oh Jehová! Hiciste todas ellas con sabiduría: la tierra está llena de tus beneficios.
25 This, the sea, great and broad of sides, || There [are] moving things—innumerable, || Living creatures—small with great.
25 [Asimismo] esta gran mar y ancha de términos: en ella pescados sin número, animales pequeños y grandes.
26 There ships go—[and] leviathan, || That You have formed to play in it.
26 Allí andan navíos; allí este leviathán que hiciste para que jugase en ella.
27 All of them look to You, || To give their food in its season.
27 Todos ellos esperan en ti, para que les des su comida á su tiempo.
28 You give to them—they gather, || You open Your hand—they [are] satisfied [with] good.
28 Les das, recogen; abres tu mano, hártanse de bien.
29 You hide Your face—they are troubled, || You gather their spirit—they expire, || And they return to their dust.
29 Escondes tu rostro, túrbanse: les quitas el espíritu, dejan de ser, y tórnanse en su polvo.
30 You send out Your Spirit, they are created, || And You renew the face of the ground.
30 Envías tu espíritu, críanse: y renuevas la haz de la tierra.
31 The glory of YHWH is for all time, || YHWH rejoices in His works,
31 Sea la gloria de Jehová para siempre; alégrese Jehová en sus obras;
32 Who is looking to earth, and it trembles, || He comes against hills, and they smoke.
32 El cual mira á la tierra, y ella tiembla; toca los montes, y humean.
33 I sing to YHWH during my life, || I sing praise to my God while I exist.
33 A Jehová cantaré en mi vida: á mi Dios salmearé mientras viviere.
34 My meditation on Him is sweet, || I rejoice in YHWH.
34 Serme ha suave hablar de él: yo me alegraré en Jehová.
35 Sinners are consumed from the earth, || And the wicked are no more. Bless, O my soul, YHWH. Praise YAH!
35 Sean consumidos de la tierra los pecadores, y los impíos dejen de ser. Bendice, alma mía, á Jehová. 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).
… knowledge, "who, being the brightness of His majesty, is by so much greater than the angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they." For it is thus written, "Who maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire." But concerning His Son the Lord spoke thus: "Thou art my Son, to-day have I …
… God who made and adorned the heavens, and the earth, and all things that are in them, and maintain that they themselves are spiritual, while they are in fact shamefully carnal on account of their so great impiety,--affirming that He, who has made His angels spirits, and is clothed with light as with a garment, and holds the circle of …
I will with confidence cry out from Thy oracle, How wonderful are Thy works, O Lord, in Wisdom hast Thou made them all. And this Wisdom is the Beginning, and in that Beginning hast Thou made heaven and earth.

"For a cloud and darkness are round about Him;" and, "He sitteth on a light cloud;" and again, "Who maketh clouds His chariot;" and, "A cloud received Him out of their sight;" and, "As the Son of Man coming in the clouds." In order then that they might believe that the voice proceeds from God, it comes from thence.

Wine was given to make glad the heart of man: and Dionysus (Bacchus) was worshipped instead of God.
