Notes on this text (1)
- Greek and Latin Bibles number most Psalms one lower than Hebrew and English Bibles.
1 Why, YHWH, do You stand at a distance? Do You hide in times of adversity?
1 ¿POR qué estás lejos, oh Jehová, y te escondes en el tiempo de la tribulación?
2 Through the pride of the wicked, || Is the poor inflamed, || They are caught in schemes that they devised.
2 Con arrogancia el malo persigue al pobre: serán cogidos en los artificios que han ideado.
3 Because the wicked has boasted || Of the desire of his soul, || And he has blessed a dishonest gainer, || He has despised YHWH.
3 Por cuanto se alaba el malo del deseo de su alma, y bendice al codicioso, [á quien] Jehová aborrece.
4 The wicked does not inquire according to the height of his face. “There is no God!” [are] all his schemes.
4 El malo, por la altivez de su rostro, no busca [á Dios]: no hay Dios [en] todos sus pensamientos.
5 His ways writhe at all times, || Your judgments [are] on high before him, || All his adversaries—he puffs at them.
5 Sus caminos son viciosos en todo tiempo: tus juicios [los tiene] muy lejos de su vista: echa bocanadas en [orden á] todos sus enemigos.
6 He has said in his heart, “I am not moved, || [And am] not in calamity to generation and generation.”
6 Dice en su corazón: No seré movido en ningún tiempo, ni jamás [me alcanzará] el infortunio.
7 His mouth is full of oaths, || And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue [is] perverseness and iniquity,
7 Llena está su boca de maldición, y de engaños y fraude: debajo de su lengua, vejación y maldad.
8 He sits in an ambush of the villages, || He slays the innocent in secret places. His eyes secretly watch for the afflicted,
8 Está en las guaridas de las aldeas: en los escondrijos mata al inocente: sus ojos están acechando al pobre.
9 He lies in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lies in wait to catch the poor, || He catches the poor, drawing him into his net.
9 Acecha en oculto, como el león desde su cama: acecha para arrebatar al pobre: arrebata al pobre trayéndolo á su red.
10 He is bruised—he bows down, || The afflicted has fallen by his mighty ones.
10 Encógese, agáchase, y caen en sus fuerzas muchos desdichados.
11 He said in his heart, “God has forgotten, || He has hid His face, || He has never seen.”
11 Dice en su corazón: Dios está olvidado, ha encubierto su rostro; nunca lo verá.
12 Arise, O YHWH! O God, lift up Your hand! Do not forget the humble.
12 Levántate, oh Jehová Dios, alza tu mano, no te olvides de los pobres.
13 Why has the wicked despised God? He has said in his heart, “It is not required.”
13 ¿Por qué irrita el malo á Dios? En su corazón ha dicho que no [lo] inquirirás.
14 You have seen, || For You behold perverseness and anger; By giving into Your hand, || The afflicted leave [it] on You, || You have been a helper of the fatherless.
14 Tú [lo] tienes visto: porque tú miras el trabajo, y la vejación, para vengar[le] por tu mano: á ti se acoge el pobre, tú eres el amparo del huérfano.
15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evil, || Seek out his wickedness, find none;
15 Quebranta el brazo del malo: del maligno buscarás su maldad, hasta que ninguna halles.
16 YHWH [is] King for all time and forever, || The nations have perished out of His land!
16 Jehová, Rey eterno y perpetuo; de su tierra fueron destruídas las gentes.
17 You have heard the desire of the humble, O YHWH. You prepare their heart; You cause Your ear to attend,
17 El deseo de los humildes oíste, oh Jehová: tú dispones su corazón, y haces atento tu oído;
18 To judge the fatherless and bruised: He adds no more to oppress—man of the earth!
18 Para juzgar al huérfano y al pobre, á fin de que no vuelva más á hacer violencia el hombre de la tierra.

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).
The inscription of this Psalm is, "To the end for the hidden things of the Son, a Psalm of David himself." As to the hidden things of the Son there may be a question: but since he has not added whose, the very only-begotten Son of God should be understood.

For, as our Scriptures say, "the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth." Away, then, with these deceitful masks, these deluding whitewashes, that things may be truthfully seen and scrutinized.
