1 BY DAVID. YHWH [is] my light and my salvation, || Whom do I fear? YHWH [is] the strength of my life, || Of whom am I afraid?
1 Salmo de David. JEHOVÁ es mi luz y mi salvación: ¿de quién temeré? Jehová es la fortaleza de mi vida: ¿de quién he de atemorizarme?
1 By David. Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evildoers come near to me to eat my flesh, || My adversaries and my enemies to me, || They have stumbled and fallen.
2 Cuando se allegaron contra mí los malignos, mis angustiadores y mis enemigos, para comer mis carnes, ellos tropezaron y cayeron.
2 When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though a host encamps against me, || My heart does not fear, || Though war rises up against me, || In this I [am] confident.
3 Aunque se asiente campo contra mí, no temerá mi corazón: aunque contra mí se levante guerra, yo en esto confío.
3 Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
4 One [thing] I asked of YHWH—it I seek: My dwelling in the house of YHWH, || All the days of my life, || To look on the pleasantness of YHWH, || And to inquire in His temple.
4 Una cosa he demandado á Jehová, ésta buscaré: que esté yo en la casa de Jehová todos los días de mi vida, para contemplar la hermosura de Jehová, y para inquirir en su templo.
4 One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.
5 For He hides me in a dwelling place in the day of evil, || He hides me in a secret place of His tent, || He raises me up on a rock.
5 Porque él me esconderá en su tabernáculo en el día del mal; ocultaráme en lo reservado de su pabellón; pondráme en alto sobre una roca.
5 For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.
6 And now my head is lifted up, || Above my enemies—my surrounders, || And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, || I sing, indeed, I sing praise to YHWH.
6 Y luego ensalzará mi cabeza sobre mis enemigos en derredor de mí: y yo sacrificaré en su tabernáculo sacrificios de júbilo: cantaré y salmearé á Jehová.
6 Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.
7 Hear, O YHWH, my voice—I call, || And favor me, and answer me.
7 Oye, oh Jehová, mi voz [con que á ti] clamo; y ten misericordia de mí, respóndeme.
7 Hear, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
8 My heart said to You, “They sought my face, || Your face, O YHWH, I seek.”
8 Mi corazón ha dicho de ti: Buscad mi rostro. Tu rostro buscaré, oh Jehová.
8 When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, Yahweh.”
9 Do not hide Your face from me, || Do not turn Your servant aside in anger, || You have been my help. Do not leave me, nor forsake me, || O God of my salvation.
9 No escondas tu rostro de mí, no apartes con ira á tu siervo: mi ayuda has sido; no me dejes y no me desampares, Dios de mi salud.
9 Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother || Have forsaken me, then YHWH gathers me.
10 Aunque mi padre y mi madre me dejaran, Jehová con todo me recogerá.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then Yahweh will take me up.
11 Show me, O YHWH, Your way, || And lead me in a path of uprightness, || For the sake of my beholders.
11 Enséñame, oh Jehová, tu camino, y guíame por senda de rectitud, á causa de mis enemigos.
11 Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not give me to the will of my adversaries, || For false witnesses have risen against me, || And they breathe out violence to me.
12 No me entregues á la voluntad de mis enemigos; porque se han levantado contra mí testigos falsos, y los que respiran crueldad.
12 Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I had not believed to look on the goodness of YHWH || In the land of the living!
13 [Hubiera yo desmayado], si no creyese que tengo de ver la bondad de Jehová en la tierra de los vivientes.
13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.
14 Look to YHWH—be strong, || And He strengthens your heart, || Indeed, look to YHWH!
14 Aguarda á Jehová; esfuérzate, y aliéntese tu corazón: sí, espera á Jehová.
14 Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

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).
It may be attributed to David himself, not the Mediator, the Man Christ Jesus, but the whole Church now perfectly established in Christ. 2. "Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence" (ver. 1).
