LSV Literal Standard Version
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Often they distressed me from my youth, || Pray, let Israel say:
1 Cántico gradual. MUCHO me han angustiado desde mi juventud, puede decir ahora Israel;
1 A Song of Ascents. Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:
2 Often they distressed me from my youth, || Yet they have not prevailed over me.
2 Mucho me han angustiado desde mi juventud; mas no prevalecieron contra mí.
2 many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 Plowers have plowed over my back, || They have made their furrows long.
3 Sobre mis espaldas araron los aradores: hicieron largos surcos.
3 The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.
4 YHWH [is] righteous, || He has cut apart cords of the wicked.
4 Jehová es justo; cortó las coyundas de los impíos.
4 Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
5 All hating Zion [are] confounded and turn backward.
5 Serán avergonzados y vueltos atrás todos los que aborrecen á Sión.
5 Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
6 They are as grass of the roofs, || That withers before it was drawn out,
6 Serán como la hierba de los tejados, que se seca antes que crezca:
6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
7 That has not filled the hand of a reaper, || And the bosom of a binder of sheaves.
7 De la cual no hinchió segador su mano, ni sus brazos el que hace gavillas.
7 with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
8 And the passers by have not said, “The blessing of YHWH [is] on you, || We blessed you in the Name of YHWH!”
8 Ni dijeron los que pasaban: Bendición de Jehová sea sobre vosotros; os bendecimos en el nombre de Jehová.
8 Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in Yahweh’s name.”

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).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CXXVIII)

    Felix the Martyr, truly Felix, i.e. "Happy" both in his name and his crown, whose birthday this is, despised the world. Was he, because he feared the Lord, thence happy, thence blessed, because his wife was as a fruitful vine upon the earth, and his children stood around his table?
