LSV Literal Standard Version
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 TO THE OVERSEER. ON STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. BY DAVID. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.
1 Al Músico principal: sobre Neginoth: Salmo de David. OYE, oh Dios, mi clamor; á mi oración atiende.
2 I call to You from the end of the land, || In the feebleness of my heart, || You lead me into a rock higher than I.
2 Desde el cabo de la tierra clamaré á ti, cuando mi corazón desmayare: á la peña más alta que yo me conduzcas.
3 For You have been a refuge for me, || A tower of strength because of the enemy.
3 Porque tú has sido mi refugio, [y] torre de fortaleza delante del enemigo.
4 I sojourn in Your tent for all ages, || I trust in the secret place of Your wings. Selah.
4 Yo habitaré en tu tabernáculo para siempre: estaré seguro bajo la cubierta de tus alas.
5 For You, O God, have listened to my vows, || You have appointed the inheritance || Of those fearing Your Name.
5 Porque tú, oh Dios, has oído mis votos, has dado heredad á los que temen tu nombre.
6 You add days to the days of the king, || His years as generation and generation.
6 Días sobre días añadirás al rey: sus años serán como generación y generación.
7 He dwells before God for all time, || Appoint kindness and truth—they keep him.
7 Estará para siempre delante de Dios: misericordia y verdad prepara que lo conserven.
8 So I praise Your Name forever, || When I pay my vows day by day!
8 Así cantaré tu nombre para siempre, pagando mis votos cada 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 LX)

    David the king was one man, but not one man he figured; sometimes to wit he figured the Church of many men consisting, extended even unto the ends of the earth: but sometimes One Man he figured, Him he figured that is Mediator of God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.
