LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος, τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορὲ ψαλμός.
·
2 Ἀκούσατε ταῦτα πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἐνωτίσασθε πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν οἰκουμένην,
49:1 Al Músico principal: Salmo para los hijos de Coré. OID esto, pueblos todos; escuchad, habitadores todos del mundo:
3 οἵ τε γηγενεῖς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ἐπιτοαυτὸ πλούσιος καὶ πένης.
49:2 Así los plebeyos como los nobles, el rico y el pobre juntamente.
4 Τὸ στόμα μου λαλήσει σοφίαν, καὶ ἡ μελέτη τῆς καρδίας μου σύνεσιν.
49:3 Mi boca hablará sabiduría; y el pensamiento de mi corazón inteligencia.
5 Κλινῶ εἰς παραβολὴν τὸ οὖς μου, ἀνοίξω ἐν ψαλτηρίῳ τὸ πρόβλημά μου.
49:4 Acomodaré á ejemplos mi oído: declararé con el arpa mi enigma.
6 Ἱνατί φοβοῦμαι ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πονηρᾷ; ἡ ἀνομία τῆς πτέρνης μου κυκλώσει με.
49:5 ¿Por qué he de temer en los días de adversidad, cuando la iniquidad de mis insidiadores me cercare?
7 Οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπὶ τῇ δυνάμει αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ πλήθει τοῦ πλούτου αὐτῶν καυχώμενοι.
49:6 Los que confían en sus haciendas, y en la muchedumbre de sus riquezas se jactan,
8 Ἀδελφὸς οὐ λυτροῦται, λυτρώσεται ἄνθρωπος; οὐ δώσει τῷ Θεῷ ἐξίλασμα ἑαυτοῦ,
49:7 Ninguno de [ellos] podrá en manera alguna redimir al hermano, ni dar á Dios su rescate.
9 καὶ τὴν τιμὴν τῆς λυτρώσεως τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐκοπίασεν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα,
49:8 (Porque la redención de su vida es de gran precio, y no se hará jamás;)
10 καὶ ζήσεται εἰς τέλος· ὅτι οὐκ ὄψεται καταφθορὰν,
49:9 Que viva adelante para siempre, y nunca vea la sepultura.
11 Ὅταν ἴδῃ σοφοὺς ἀποθνήσκοντας, ἐπιτοαυτὸ ἄφρων καὶ ἄνους ἀπολοῦνται, καὶ καταλείψουσιν ἀλλοτρίοις τὸν πλοῦτον αὐτῶν.
49:10 Pues se ve que mueren los sabios, así como el insensato y el necio perecen, y dejan á otros sus riquezas.
12 Καὶ οἱ τάφοι αὐτῶν οἰκίαι αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, σκηνώματα αὐτῶν εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεὰν, ἐπεκαλέσαντο τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τῶν γαιῶν αὐτῶν.
49:11 En su interior [tienen] que sus casas [serán] eternas, y sus habitaciones para generación y generación: llamaron sus tierras de sus nombres.
13 Καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἐν τιμῇ ὢν, οὐ συνῆκε, παρασυνεβλήθη τοῖς κτήνεσι τοῖς ἀνοήτοις, καὶ ὡμοιώθη αὐτοῖς.
49:12 Mas el hombre no permanecerá en honra: es semejante á las bestias que perecen.
14 Αὕτη ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτῶν σκάνδαλον αὐτοῖς, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν εὐλογήσουσι· διάψαλμα.
49:13 Este su camino es su locura: con todo, corren sus descendientes por el dicho de ellos. (Selah.)
15 Ὡς πρόβατα ἐν ᾅδῃ ἔθεντο, θάνατος ποιμανεῖ αὐτούς· καὶ κατακυριεύσουσιν αὐτῶν οἱ εὐθεῖς τοπρωῒ, καὶ ἡ βοήθεια αὐτῶν παλαιωθήσεται ἐν τῷ ᾅδῃ ἐκ τῆς δόξης αὐτῶν.
49:14 Como rebaños serán puestos en la sepultura; la muerte se cebará en ellos; y los rectos se enseñorearán de ellos por la mañana: y se consumirá su bien parecer en el sepulcro de su morada.
16 Πλὴν ὁ Θεὸς λυτρώσεται τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ χειρὸς ᾅδου, ὅταν λαμβάνῃ με· διάψαλμα.
49:15 Empero Dios redimirá mi vida del poder de la sepultura, cuando me tomará. (Selah.)
17 Μὴ φοβοῦ ὅταν πλουτήσῃ ἄνθρωπος, καὶ ὅταν πληθυνθῇ ἡ δόξα τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ.
49:16 No temas cuando se enriquece alguno, cuando aumenta la gloria de su casa;
18 Ὅτι οὐκ ἐν τῷ ἀποθνήσκειν αὐτὸν λήψεται τὰ πάντα, οὐδὲ συγκαταβήσεται αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα αὐτοῦ.
49:17 Porque en muriendo no llevará nada, ni descenderá tras él su gloria.
19 Ὅτι ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ εὐλογηθήσεται, ἐξομολογήσεταί σοι ὅταν ἀγαθύνῃς αὐτῷ.
49:18 Si bien mientras viviere, dirá dichosa á su alma: y tú serás loado cuando bien te tratares.
20 Εἰσελεύσεται ἕως γενεᾶς πατέρων αὐτοῦ, ἕως αἰῶνος οὐκ ὄψεται φῶς.
49:19 Entrará á la generación de sus padres: no verán luz para siempre.
21 Ἄνθρωπος ἐν τιμῇ ὢν, οὐ συνῆκε, παρασυνεβλήθη τοῖς κτήνεσι τοῖς ἀνοήτοις, καὶ ὡμοιώθη αὐτοῖς.
49:20 El hombre en honra que no entiende, semejante es á las bestias que perecen.

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: 49.

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 XLVIII)

    The title of this Psalm is, "A song of praise, to the sons of Korah, on the second day of the week." Concerning this what the Lord deigneth to grant receive ye like sons of the firmament.

  2. Quotes verse 49:12 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Preface)

    … lost the true rationality, and living irrationally, opposed the righteousness of God, giving himself over to every earthly spirit, and serving all lusts; as says the prophet, "Man, being in honour, did not understand: he was assimilated to senseless beasts, and made like to them." Chapter V.--The author returns to his former argument, and shows that there was but one …

    For this he doth by the discernment of his mind, whereby he perceiveth the things "of the Spirit of God;" whereas, otherwise, man being placed in honour, had no understanding, and is compared unto the brute beasts, and is become like unto them. In Thy Church, therefore, O our God, according to Thy grace which Thou hast accorded unto it, …

  5. Quotes verse 49:11 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XV, Chapter 20)

    It is of such the Psalmist says, "They call their lands after their own names." Wherefore they incur what is written in another psalm: "Thou, O Lord, in Thy city wilt despise their image." But as for the son of Seth, the son of the resurrection, let him hope to call on the name of the Lord God.
