LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυὶδ, ὅτε αὐτὸν ὁ υἱὸς κατεδιώκει. Κύριε εἰσάκουσον τῆς προσευχῆς μου, ἐνώτισαι τὴν δέησίν μου ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου, ἐπάκουσόν μου ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ σου.
143:1 Salmo de David. OH Jehová, oye mi oración, escucha mis ruegos: respóndeme por tu verdad, por tu justicia.
2 Καὶ μὴ εἰσέλθῃς εἰς κρίσιν μετὰ τοῦ δούλου σου, ὅτι οὐ δικαιωθήσεται ἐνώπιόν σου πᾶς ζῶν.
143:2 Y no entres en juicio con tu siervo; porque no se justificará delante de ti ningún viviente.
3 Ὅτι κατεδίωξεν ὁ ἐχθρὸς τὴν ψυχήν μου· ἐταπείνωσεν εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν ζωήν μου, ἐκάθισέ με ἐν σκοτεινοῖς ὡς νεκροὺς αἰῶνος,
143:3 Porque ha perseguido el enemigo mi alma; ha postrado en tierra mi vida; hame hecho habitar en tinieblas como los ya muertos.
4 καὶ ἠκηδίασεν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ τὸ πνεῦμά μου· ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐταράχθη ἡ καρδία μου.
143:4 Y mi espíritu se angustió dentro de mí; pasmóse mi corazón.
5 Ἐμνήσθην ἡμερῶν ἀρχαίων· καὶ ἐμελέτησα ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔργοις σου, ἐν ποιήμασι τῶν χειρῶν σου ἐμελέτων.
143:5 Acordéme de los días antiguos; meditaba en todas tus obras; reflexionaba en las obras de tus manos.
6 Διεπέτασα πρὸς σὲ τὰς χεῖράς μου, ἡ ψυχή μου ὡς γῆ ἄνυδρός σοι· διάψαλμα.
143:6 Extendí mis manos á ti; mi alma á ti como la tierra sedienta. (Selah.)
7 Ταχὺ εἰσάκουσόν μου, Κύριε, ἐξέλιπε τὸ πνεῦμά μου· μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ὁμοιωθήσομαι τοῖς καταβαίνουσιν εἰς λάκκον.
143:7 Respóndeme presto, oh Jehová que desmaya mi espíritu: no escondas de mí tu rostro, y venga yo á ser semejante á los que descienden á la sepultura.
8 Ἀκουστὸν ποίησόν μοι τοπρωῒ τὸ ἔλεός σου, ὅτι ἐπὶ σοὶ ἤλπισα· γνώρισόν μοι, Κύριε, ὁδὸν ἐν ᾗ πορεύσομαι, ὅτι πρὸς σὲ ᾖρα τὴν ψυχήν μου.
143:8 Hazme oir por la mañana tu misericordia, porque en ti he confiado: hazme saber el camino por donde ande, porque á ti he alzado mi alma.
9 Ἐξελοῦ με ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου Κύριε, ὅτι πρὸς σὲ κατέφυγον.
143:9 Líbrame de mis enemigos, oh Jehová: á ti me acojo.
10 Δίδαξόν με τοῦ ποιεῖν τὸ θέλημά σου, ὅτι Θεός μου εἶ σὺ, τὸ πνεῦμά σου τὸ ἁγαθὸν ὁδηγήσει με ἐν τῇ εὐθείᾳ.
143:10 Enséñame á hacer tu voluntad, porque tú eres mi Dios: tu buen espíritu me guíe á tierra de rectitud.
11 Ἕνεκα τοῦ ὀνόματός σου, Κύριε, ζήσεις με, ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ σου ἐξάξεις ἐκ θλίψεως τὴν ψυχήν μου.
143:11 Por tu nombre, oh Jehová me vivificarás: por tu justicia, sacarás mi alma de angustia.
12 Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐλέει σου ἐξολοθρεύσεις τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου, καὶ ἀπολεῖς πάντας τοὺς θλίβοντας τὴν ψυχήν μου, ὅτι δοῦλός σου εἰμὶ ἐγώ.
143:12 Y por tu misericordia disiparás mis enemigos, y destruirás todos los adversarios de mi alma: porque yo soy tu siervo.

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). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 143.

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 CXLII)

    "With my voice have I cried unto the Lord" (ver. 1). It were enough to say, "with voice:" not for nothing perhaps has "my" been added. For many cry unto the Lord, not with their own voice, but with the voice of their body.

    Forgive her, O Lord, forgive her, I beseech Thee; "enter not into judgment" with her.

    … the Son is holy, for to the creature holiness was brought in from without, but to the Spirit holiness is the fulfilment of nature, and it is for this reason that He is described not as being sanctified, but as sanctifying. He is called good, as the Father is good, and He who was begotten of the Good is good, …
