1 TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF THE SONS OF KORAH. O God, we have heard with our ears, || Our fathers have recounted to us, || The work You worked in their days, || In the days of old.
1 Al Músico principal: de los hijos de Coré: Masquil. OH Dios, con nuestros oídos hemos oído, nuestros padres nos han contado, la obra que hiciste en sus días, en los tiempos antiguos.
2 You, [with] Your hand, have dispossessed nations. And You plant them. You afflict peoples, and send them away.
2 Tú con tu mano echaste las gentes, y los plantaste á ellos; afligiste los pueblos, y los arrojaste.
3 For they did not possess the land by their sword, || And their arm did not give salvation to them, || But Your right hand, and Your arm, || And the light of Your countenance, || Because You had accepted them.
3 Porque no se apoderaron de la tierra por su espada, ni su brazo los libró; sino tu diestra, y tu brazo, y la luz de tu rostro, porque te complaciste en ellos.
4 You [are] He, my King, O God, || Command the deliverances of Jacob.
4 Tú, oh Dios, eres mi rey: manda saludes á Jacob.
5 By You we push our adversaries, || By Your Name we tread down our withstanders,
5 Por medio de ti sacudiremos á nuestros enemigos: en tu nombre atropellaremos á nuestros adversarios.
6 For I do not trust in my bow, || And my sword does not save me.
6 Porque no confiaré en mi arco, ni mi espada me salvará.
7 For You have saved us from our adversaries, || And You have put to shame those hating us.
7 Pues tú nos has guardado de nuestros enemigos, y has avergonzado á los que nos aborrecían.
8 In God we have boasted all the day, || And we thank Your Name for all time. Selah.
8 En Dios nos gloriaremos todo tiempo, y para siempre loaremos tu nombre. (Selah.)
9 In anger You have cast off and cause us to blush, || And do not go forth with our hosts.
9 Empero [nos] has desechado, y nos has hecho avergonzar; y no sales en nuestros ejércitos.
10 You cause us to turn backward from an adversary, || And those hating us, || Have spoiled for themselves.
10 Nos hiciste retroceder del enemigo, y saqueáron[nos] para sí los que nos aborrecían.
11 You make us food like sheep, || And You have scattered us among nations.
11 Pusístenos como á ovejas para comida, y esparcístenos entre las gentes.
12 You sell Your people—without wealth, || And have not become great by their price.
12 Has vendido tu pueblo de balde, y no pujaste en sus precios.
13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, || A scorn and a reproach to our surrounders.
13 Pusístenos por vergüenza á nuestros vecinos, por escarnio y por burla á los que nos rodean.
14 You make us an allegory among nations, || A shaking of the head among peoples.
14 Pusístenos por proverbio entre las gentes, por movimiento de cabeza en los pueblos.
15 All the day my confusion [is] before me, || And the shame of my face has covered me.
15 Cada día mi vergüenza está delante de mí, y cúbreme la confusión de mi rostro,
16 Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, || Because of an enemy and a self-avenger.
16 Por la voz del que [me] vitupera y deshonra, por razón del enemigo y del que se venga.
17 All this met us, and we did not forget You, || Nor have we dealt falsely in Your covenant.
17 Todo esto nos ha venido, y no nos hemos olvidado de ti; y no hemos faltado á tu pacto.
18 We do not turn our heart backward, || Nor turn aside our step from Your path.
18 No se ha vuelto atrás nuestro corazón, ni tampoco se han apartado nuestros pasos de tus caminos.
19 But You have struck us in a place of dragons, || And cover us over with death-shade.
19 Cuando nos quebrantaste en el lugar de los dragones, y nos cubriste con sombra de muerte,
20 If we have forgotten the Name of our God, || And spread our hands to a strange God,
20 Si nos hubiésemos olvidado del nombre de nuestro Dios, ó alzado nuestras manos á dios ajeno,
21 Does God not search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.
21 ¿No demandaría Dios esto? porque él conoce los secretos del corazón.
22 Surely, for Your sake we have been slain all the day, || Reckoned as sheep of the slaughter.
22 Empero por tu causa nos matan cada día; somos tenidos como ovejas para el matadero.
23 Stir up—why do You sleep, O Lord? Awake, do not cast us off forever.
23 Despierta; ¿por qué duermes, Señor? Despierta, no te alejes para siempre.
24 Why do You hide Your face? You forget our afflictions and our oppression,
24 ¿Por qué escondes tu rostro, y te olvidas de nuestra aflicción, y de la opresión nuestra?
25 For our soul has bowed to the dust, || Our belly has cleaved to the earth.
25 Porque nuestra alma está agobiada hasta el polvo: nuestro vientre está pegado con la tierra.
26 Arise, a help to us, || And ransom us for your kindness’ sake.
26 Levántate para ayudarnos, y redímenos por tu misericordia.

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).
This Psalm is a short one; it satisfies the mental cravings of the hearers, without imposing too severe a trial on the hunger of those fasting.

… of with; as for instance, "I will go into thy house in burnt offerings," instead of with burnt offerings and "he brought them forth also by silver and gold," that is to say with silver and gold and "thou goest not forth in our armies" instead of with our armies, and innumerable similar passages.
