LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Προσευχὴ τοῦ Δαυίδ. Εἰσάκουσον Κύριε τῆς δικαιοσύνης μου, πρόσχες τῇ δεήσει μου· ἐνώτισαι τὴν προσευχήν μου οὐκ ἐν χείλεσι δολίοις.
17:1 Oración de David. OYE, oh Jehová, justicia; está atento á mi clamor; escucha mi oración hecha sin labios de engaño.
2 Ἐκ προσώπου σου τὸ κρίμα μου ἐξέλθοι, οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἰδέτωσαν εὐθύτητας.
17:2 De delante de tu rostro salga mi juicio; vean tus ojos la rectitud.
3 Ἐδοκίμασας τὴν καρδίαν μου, ἐπεσκέψω νυκτὸς, ἐπύρωσάς με, καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθη ἐν ἐμοὶ ἀδικία·
17:3 Tú has probado mi corazón, hasme visitado de noche; me has apurado, y nada inicuo hallaste: heme propuesto que mi boca no ha de propasarse.
4 ὅπως ἂν μὴ λαλήσῃ τὸ στόμα μου. Τὰ ἔργα τῶν ἀνθρώπων, διὰ τοὺς λόγους τῶν χειλέων σου ἐγὼ ἐφύλαξα ὁδοὺς σκληράς.
17:4 Para las obras humanas, por la palabra de tus labios yo me he guardado de las vías del destructor.
5 Κατάρτισαι τὰ διαβήματά μου ἐν ταῖς τρίβοις σου, ἵνα μὴ σαλευθῇ τὰ διαβήματά μου.
17:5 Sustenta mis pasos en tus caminos, porque mis pies no resbalen.
6 Ἐγὼ ἐκεκραξα, ὅτι ἐπήκουσας μου ὁ Θεός· κλῖνον τὸ οὖς σου ἐμοὶ, καὶ εἰσάκουσον τῶν ῥημάτων μου.
17:6 Yo te he invocado, por cuanto tú me oirás, oh Dios: inclina á mí tu oído, escucha mi palabra.
7 Θαυμάστωσον τὰ ἐλέη σου, ὁ σώζων τοὺς ἐλπίζοντας ἐπὶ σέ· ἐκ τῶν ἀνθεστηκότων τῇ δεξιᾷ σου,
17:7 Muestra tus estupendas misericordias, tú que salvas á los que en ti confían de los que se levantan contra tu diestra.
8 φύλαξόν με ὡς κόρην ὀφθαλμοῦ· ἐν σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύγων σου σκεπάσεις με,
17:8 Guárdame como lo negro de la niñeta del ojo, escóndeme con la sombra de tus alas,
9 ἀπὸ προσώπου ἀσεβῶν τῶν ταλαιπωρησάντων με· οἱ ἐχθροί μου τὴν ψυχήν μου περιέσχον.
17:9 De delante de los malos que me oprimen, de mis enemigos que me cercan por la vida.
10 Τὸ στέαρ αὐτῶν συνέκλεισαν, τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν ἐλάλησεν ὑπερηφανίαν.
17:10 Cerrados están con su grosura; con su boca hablan soberbiamente.
11 Ἐκβαλόντες με νυνὶ περιεκύκλωσάν με, τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτὼν ἔθεντο ἐκκλῖναι ἐν τῇ γῇ.
17:11 Nuestros pasos nos han cercado ahora: puestos tienen sus ojos para echar[nos] por tierra.
12 Ὑπέλαβόν με ὡσεὶ λέων ἕτοιμος εἰς θήραν, καὶ ὡσεὶ σκύμνος οἰκῶν ἐν ἀποκρύφοις.
17:12 Parecen al león que desea hacer presa, y al leoncillo que está escondido.
13 Ἀνάστηθι Κύριε, πρόφθασον αὐτοὺς, καὶ ὑποσκέλισον αὐτοὺς, ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου ἀπὸ ἀσεβοῦς, ῥομφαίαν σου
17:13 Levántate, oh Jehová; prevén su encuentro, póstrale: libra mi alma del malo con tu espada;
14 ἀπὸ ἐχθρῶν τῆς χειρός σου· Κύριε ἀπολύων ἀπὸ γῆς, διαμέρισον αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτῶν, καὶ τῶν κεκρυμμένων σου ἐπλήσθη ἡ γαστὴρ αὐτῶν· ἐχορτάσθησαν ὑείων, καὶ ἀφῆκαν τὰ κατάλοιπα τοῖς νηπίοις αὐτῶν.
17:14 De los hombres con tu mano, oh Jehová, de los hombres de mundo, cuya parte es en [esta] vida, y cuyo vientre hinches de tu tesoro: hartan [sus] hijos, y dejan el resto á sus chiquitos.
15 Ἐγὼ δὲ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ ὀφθήσομαι τῷ προσώπῳ σου, χορτασθήσομαι ἐν τῷ ὀφθῆναι τὴν δόξαν σου.
17:15 Yo en justicia veré tu rostro: seré saciado cuando despertare á tu semejanza.

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: 17.

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).

    … supposed from such language that man in the form of this flesh is made in the image of God, wings also are ascribed to Him, which man has not at all; and it is said to God, "Hide me under the shadow of Thy wings," that men may understand that such things are said of that ineffable nature not in …
