LSV Literal Standard Version
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 BY DAVID. Strive, YHWH, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
1 Salmo de David. DISPUTA, oh Jehová, con los que contra mí contienden; pelea con los que me combaten.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
2 Echa mano al escudo y al pavés, y levántate en mi ayuda.
3 And draw out spear and lance, || To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, “I [am] your salvation.”
3 Y saca la lanza, cierra contra mis perseguidores; di á mi alma: Yo soy tu salud.
4 They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, || Turned backward and confounded, || Those devising my evil.
4 Avergüéncense y confúndanse los que buscan mi alma: vuelvan atrás, y sean avergonzados los que mi mal intentan.
5 They are as chaff before wind, || And a messenger of YHWH driving away.
5 Sean como el tamo delante del viento; y el ángel de Jehová [los] acose.
6 Their way is darkness and slipperiness, || And a messenger of YHWH—their pursuer.
6 Sea su camino oscuridad y resbaladeros; y el ángel de Jehová los persiga.
7 For without cause they hid their net [in] a pit for me, || Without cause they dug for my soul.
7 Porque sin causa escondieron para mí su red en un hoyo; sin causa hicieron [hoyo] para mi alma.
8 Desolation meets him—he does not know, || And his net that he hid catches him, || He falls into it for desolation.
8 Véngale el quebrantamiento que no sepa, y su red que escondió lo prenda: con quebrantamiento en ella caiga.
9 And my soul is joyful in YHWH, || It rejoices in His salvation.
9 Y gócese mi alma en Jehová; y alégrese en su salud.
10 All my bones say, “YHWH, who is like You, || Delivering the poor from the [one] stronger than he, || And the poor and needy from his plunderer.”
10 Todos mis huesos dirán: Jehová, ¿quién como tú, que libras al afligido del más fuerte que él, y al pobre y menesteroso del que le despoja?
11 Violent witnesses rise up, || That which I have not known they ask me.
11 Levantáronse testigos falsos; demandáronme lo que no sabía;
12 They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
12 Volviéronme mal por bien, para abatir á mi alma.
13 And I—in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, || I have humbled my soul with fastings, || And my prayer returns to my bosom.
13 Mas yo, cuando ellos enfermaron, me vestí de saco; afligí con ayuno mi alma, y mi oración se revolvía en mi seno.
14 As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, || I habitually walked, || As a mourner for a mother, || I have bowed down mourning.
14 Como por mi compañero, como por mi hermano andaba; como el que trae luto por madre, enlutado me humillaba.
15 And they have rejoiced in my halting, || And have been gathered together, || The strikers were gathered against me, || And I have not known, || They have torn, and they have not ceased;
15 Pero ellos se alegraron en mi adversidad, y se juntaron; juntáronse contra mí gentes despreciables, y yo no lo entendía: despedazábanme, y no cesaban;
16 With profane ones, mockers in feasts, || Gnashing their teeth against me.
16 Con los lisonjeros escarnecedores truhanes, crujiendo sobre mí sus dientes.
17 Lord, how long do You behold? Keep my soul back from their desolations, || My only one from young lions.
17 Señor, ¿hasta cuándo verás [esto]? Recobra mi alma de sus quebrantamientos, mi única de los leones.
18 I thank You in a great assembly, || I praise You among a mighty people.
18 Te confesaré en grande congregación; te alabaré entre numeroso pueblo.
19 Do not let my enemies rejoice over me [with] falsehood, || Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
19 No se alegren de mí mis enemigos injustos: ni los que me aborrecen sin causa hagan del ojo.
20 For they do not speak peace, || And against the quiet of the land, || They devise deceitful words,
20 Porque no hablan paz; y contra los mansos de la tierra piensan palabras engañosas.
21 And they enlarge their mouth against me, || They said, “Aha, aha, our eye has seen.”
21 Y ensancharon sobre mí su boca; dijeron: ¡Ea, ea, nuestros ojos [lo] han visto!
22 You have seen, O YHWH, || Do not be silent, O Lord—do not be far from me,
22 Tú lo has visto, oh Jehová; no calles: Señor, de mí no te alejes.
23 Stir up, and wake to my judgment, || My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
23 Muévete y despierta para mi juicio, para mi causa, Dios mío y Señor mío.
24 Judge me according to Your righteousness, O YHWH my God, || And they do not rejoice over me.
24 Júzgame conforme á tu justicia, Jehová Dios mío; y no se alegren de mí.
25 They do not say in their heart, “Aha, our desire.” They do not say, “We swallowed him up.”
25 No digan en su corazón: ¡Ea, alma nuestra! No digan: ¡Hémoslo devorado!
26 They are ashamed and confounded together, || Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, || Who are magnifying themselves against me.
26 Avergüéncense, y sean confundidos á una los que de mi mal se alegran: vístanse de vergüenza y de confusión los que se engrandecen contra mí.
27 They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, || And they continually say, “YHWH is magnified, || Who is desiring the peace of His servant.”
27 Canten y alégrense los que están á favor de mi justa causa, y digan siempre: Sea ensalzado Jehová, que ama la paz de su siervo.
28 And my tongue utters Your righteousness, || All the day Your praise!
28 Y mi lengua hablará de tu justicia, y de tu loor todo el día.

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 XXXIV)

    Because there was there a sacrifice after the order of Aaron, and afterwards He of His Own Body and Blood appointed a sacrifice after the order of Melchizedek; He changed then His Countenance in the Priesthood, and sent away the kingdom of the Jews, and came to the Gentiles. What then is, "He affected"? He was full of affection.

  2. Quotes verse 35:9 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Chapter IX)

    … liberty, and been made partakers of His gifts, do possess a greater amount of grace, and a higher degree of exultation, rejoicing because of the King's arrival: as also David says, "My soul shall rejoice in the Lord; it shall be glad in His salvation." And for this cause, upon His entrance into Jerusalem, all those who were in the …

  3. Quotes verse 35:14 Augustine of Hippo, On Christian Doctrine (Book I, Chapters 25–30)

    And the Psalmist says in his prayer, "I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother." But as the Divine nature is of higher excellence than, and far removed above, our nature, the command to love God is distinct from that to love our neighbor.

  5. Quotes verse 35:2 Augustine of Hippo, On Christian Doctrine (Book III, Chapters 22–27)

    For example, there is no better way of understanding the words addressed to God, "Take hold of shield and buckler and stand up for mine help," than by referring to the passage where we read, "Thou, Lord, hast crowned us with Thy favor as with a shield." And yet we are not so to understand it, as that wherever we …
