LSV Literal Standard Version

RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 “Give thanks to YHWH, || For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time”:

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

2 Let the redeemed of YHWH say [so], || Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.

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

3 And has gathered them from the lands, || From east and from west, || From 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 a wilderness, in a desert by the way, || They have not found a city of habitation.

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

5 Hungry—indeed—thirsty, || Their soul becomes feeble in them,

5 Hambrientos y sedientos, su alma desfallecía en ellos.

6 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, || He delivers them from their distress,

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

7 And causes them to tread in a right way, || To go to a city of habitation.

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

8 They confess to YHWH His kindness, || And His wonders to the sons of men.

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

9 For He has satisfied a longing soul, || And has filled a hungry soul [with] goodness.

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

10 Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, || Prisoners of affliction and of iron,

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

11 Because they changed the saying of God, || And despised the counsel of the Most High.

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

12 And He humbles their heart with labor, || They have been feeble, and there is no helper.

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

13 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, || He saves them from their distresses.

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

14 He brings them out from the dark place, || And death-shade, || And He draws away their bands.

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

15 They confess to YHWH His kindness, || And His wonders to the sons of men.

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

16 For He has broken doors of bronze, || And He has cut bars of iron.

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

17 Fools, by means of their transgression, || And by their iniquities, afflict themselves.

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

18 Their soul detests all food, || And they come near to the gates of death,

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

19 And cry to YHWH in their adversity, || He saves them from their distresses,

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

20 He sends His word and heals them, || And delivers [them] from their destructions.

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

21 They confess to YHWH His kindness, || And His wonders to the sons of men,

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

22 And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, || And recount His works with singing.

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

23 Those going down [to] the sea in ships, || Doing business in many waters,

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

24 They have seen the works of YHWH, || And His wonders in the deep.

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

25 And He commands, and appoints a storm, || And it lifts up its billows,

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

26 They go up [to] the heavens, they go down [to] the depths, || Their soul is melted in evil.

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

27 They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, || And all their wisdom is swallowed up.

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

28 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, || And He brings them out from their distresses.

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

29 He calms a whirlwind, || And their billows are hushed.

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

30 And they rejoice because they are quiet, || And He leads them to the haven of their desire.

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

31 They confess to YHWH His kindness, || And His wonders to the sons of men,

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

32 And they exalt Him in [the] assembly of [the] people, || And praise Him in [the] seat of [the] elderly.

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

33 He makes rivers become a wilderness, || And fountains of waters become dry land.

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

34 A fruitful land becomes a barren place, || For the wickedness of its inhabitants.

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

35 He makes a wilderness become a pool of water, || And a dry land become fountains of waters.

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

36 And He causes the hungry to dwell there, || And they prepare a city of habitation.

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

37 And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, || And they make fruits of increase.

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

38 And He blesses them, and they multiply exceedingly, || And He does not diminish their livestock.

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

39 And they are diminished, and bow down, || By restraint, evil, and sorrow.

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

40 He is pouring contempt on nobles, || And causes them to wander in vacancy—no way.

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

41 And sets the needy on high from affliction, || And places families as a flock.

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

42 The upright see and rejoice, || And all perversity has shut her mouth.

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

43 Who [is] wise, and observes these? They understand the kind acts of YHWH!

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.

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.

… 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.
