1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῶν κρυφίων τοῦ υἱοῦ, ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυίδ.
·
·
2 Ἐξομολογήσομαι σοι Κύριε ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου, διηγήσομαι πάντα τὰ θαυμάσιά σου.
1 Al Músico principal: sobre Muth-labben: Salmo de David. TE alabaré, oh Jehová, con todo mi corazón; contaré todas tus maravillas.
1 For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm by David. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
3 Εὐφρανθήσομαι καὶ ἀγαλλιάσομαι ἐν σοὶ, ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ὕψιστε.
2 Alegraréme y regocijaréme en ti: cantaré á tu nombre, oh Altísimo;
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
4 Ἐν τῷ ἀποστραφῆναι τὸν ἐχθρόν μου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, ἀσθενήσουσι καὶ ἀπολοῦνται ἀπὸ προσώπου σου.
3 Por haber sido mis enemigos vueltos atrás: caerán y perecerán delante de ti.
3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
5 Ὅτι ἐποίησας τὴν κρίσιν μου καὶ τὴν δίκην μου, ἐκάθισας ἐπὶ θρόνου ὁ κρίνων δικαιοσύνην.
4 Porque has hecho mi juicio y mi causa: sentástete en silla juzgando justicia.
4 For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
6 Ἐπετίμησας ἔθνεσι, καὶ ἀπώλετο ὁ ἀσεβὴς· τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ἐξήλειψας εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.
5 Reprendiste gentes, destruiste al malo, raíste el nombre de ellos para siempre jamás.
5 You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
7 Τοῦ ἐχθροῦ ἐξέλιπον αἱ ῥομφαῖαι εἰς τέλος, καὶ πόλεις καθεῖλες· ἀπώλετο τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν μετʼ ἤχου,
6 Oh enemigo, acabados son para siempre los asolamientos; y las ciudades que derribaste, su memoria pereció con ellas.
6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
8 καὶ ὁ Κύριος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένει· ἡτοίμασεν ἐν κρίσει τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ,
7 Mas Jehová permanecerá para siempre: dispuesto ha su trono para juicio.
7 But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
9 καὶ αὐτὸς κρινεῖ τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ, κρινεῖ λαοὺς ἐν εὐθύτητι.
8 Y él juzgará el mundo con justicia; y juzgará los pueblos con rectitud.
8 He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
10 Καὶ ἐγένετο Κύριος καταφυγὴ τῷ πένητι, βοηθὸς ἐν εὐκαιρίαις, ἐν θλίψει.
9 Y será Jehová refugio al pobre, refugio para el tiempo de angustia.
9 Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
11 Καὶ ἐλπισάτωσαν ἐπὶ σὲ οἱ γινώσκοντες τὸ ὄνομά σου, ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπες τοὺς ἐκζητοῦντάς σε Κύριε.
10 Y en ti confiarán los que conocen tu nombre; por cuanto tú, oh Jehová, no desamparaste á los que te buscaron.
10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.
12 Ψάλατε τῷ Κυρίῳ τῷ κατοικοῦντι ἐν Σιὼν, ἀναγγείλατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ.
11 Cantad á Jehová, que habita en Sión: noticiad en los pueblos sus obras.
11 Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.
13 Ὅτι ἐκζητῶν τὰ αἵματα αὐτῶν ἐμνήσθη, οὐκ ἐπελάθετο τῆς δεήσεως τῶν πενήτων.
12 Porque demandando la sangre se acordó de ellos: no se olvidó del clamor de los pobres.
12 For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.
14 Ἐλέησόν με Κύριε, ἴδε τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου, ὁ ὑψῶν με ἐκ τῶν πυλῶν τοῦ θανάτου·
13 Ten misericordia de mí, Jehová: mira mi aflicción [que padezco] de los que me aborrecen, tú que me levantas de las puertas de la muerte;
13 Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,
15 Ὅπως ἂν ἐξαγγείλω πάσας τὰς αἰνέσεις σου ἐν ταῖς πύλαις τῆς θυγατρὸς Σιών· ἀγαλλιάσομαι ἐπὶ τῷ σωτηρίῳ σου.
14 Porque cuente yo todas tus alabanzas en las puertas de la hija de Sión, [y] me goce en tu salud.
14 that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
16 Ἐνεπάγησαν ἔθνη ἐν διαφθορᾷ ᾗ ἐποίησαν· ἐν παγίδι ταύτῃ ᾗ ἔκρυψαν συνελήφθη ὁ ποὺς αὐτῶν.
15 Hundiéronse las gentes en la fosa que hicieron; en la red que escondieron fué tomado su pie.
15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
17 Γινώσκεται Κύριος κρίματα ποιῶν, ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ συνελήφθη ὁ ἁμαρτωλός· ᾠδὴ διαψάλματος.
16 Jehová fué conocido [en] el juicio que hizo; en la obra de sus manos fué enlazado el malo. (Higaion. Selah.)
16 Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.
18 Ἀποστραφήτωσαν οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ εἰς τὸν ᾅδην, πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ἐπιλανθανόμενα τοῦ Θεοῦ.
17 Los malos serán trasladados al infierno, todas las gentes que se olvidan de Dios.
17 The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.
19 Ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τέλος ἐπιλησθήσεται ὁ πτωχὸς, ἡ ὑπομονὴ τῶν πενήτων οὐκ ἀπολεῖται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
18 Porque no para siempre será olvidado el pobre; ni la esperanza de los pobres perecerá perpetuamente.
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
20 Ἀνάστηθι Κύριε, μὴ κραταιούσθω ἄνθρωπος, κριθήτωσαν ἔθνη ἐνώπιόν σου.
19 Levántate, oh Jehová; no se fortalezca el hombre; sean juzgadas las gentes delante de ti.
19 Arise, Yahweh! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
21 Κατάστησον, Κύριε, νομοθέτην ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, γνώτωσαν ἔθνη ὅτι ἀνθρωποί εἰσι· διάψαλμα.
20 Pon, oh Jehová, temor en ellos: conozcan las gentes que son no más que hombres. (Selah.)
20 Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.
22 Ἱνατί, Κύριε, ἀφέστηκας μακρόθεν, ὑπερορᾷς ἐν εὐκαιρίαις, ἐν θλίψει;
10:1 ¿POR qué estás lejos, oh Jehová, y te escondes en el tiempo de la tribulación?
10:1 Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
23 Ἐν τῷ ὑπερηφανεύεσθαι τὸν ἀσεβῆ, ἐμπυρίζεται ὁ πτωχὸς, συλλαμβάνονται ἐν διαβουλίοις οἷς διαλογίζονται.
10:2 Con arrogancia el malo persigue al pobre: serán cogidos en los artificios que han ideado.
10:2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
24 Ὅτι ἐπαινεῖται ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς ἐν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ ἀδικῶν ἐνευλογεῖται.
10:3 Por cuanto se alaba el malo del deseo de su alma, y bendice al codicioso, [á quien] Jehová aborrece.
10:3 For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns Yahweh.
25 Παρώξυνε τὸν Κύριον ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς, κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῆς ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐκζητήσει· οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ Θεὸς ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.
10:4 El malo, por la altivez de su rostro, no busca [á Dios]: no hay Dios [en] todos sus pensamientos.
10:4 The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.
26 Βεβηλοῦνται αἱ ὁδοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ· ἀνταναιρεῖται τὰ κρίματά σου ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ κατακυριεύσει.
10:5 Sus caminos son viciosos en todo tiempo: tus juicios [los tiene] muy lejos de su vista: echa bocanadas en [orden á] todos sus enemigos.
10:5 His ways are prosperous at all times. He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
27 Εἶπε γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, οὐ μὴ σαλευθῶ ἀπὸ γενεᾶς εἰς γενεὰν ἄνευ κακοῦ.
10:6 Dice en su corazón: No seré movido en ningún tiempo, ni jamás [me alcanzará] el infortunio.
10:6 He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”
28 Οὗ ἀρᾶς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ γέμει καὶ πικρίας καὶ δόλου, ὑπὸ τὴν γλῶσσαν αὐτοῦ κόπος καὶ πόνος.
10:7 Llena está su boca de maldición, y de engaños y fraude: debajo de su lengua, vejación y maldad.
10:7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
29 Ἐγκάθηται ἔνεδρα μετὰ πλουσίων ἐν ἀποκρύφοις, τοῦ ἀποκτεῖναι ἀθῶον· οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν πένητα ἀποβλέπουσιν.
10:8 Está en las guaridas de las aldeas: en los escondrijos mata al inocente: sus ojos están acechando al pobre.
10:8 He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
30 Ἐνεδρεύει ἐν ἀποκρύφῳ ὡς λέων ἐν τῇ μάνδρᾳ αὐτοῦ· ἐνεδρεύει τοῦ ἁρπάσαι πτωχὸν, ἁρπάσαι πτωχὸν ἐν τῷ ἑλκύσαι αὐτόν· ἐν τῇ παγίδι αὐτοῦ
10:9 Acecha en oculto, como el león desde su cama: acecha para arrebatar al pobre: arrebata al pobre trayéndolo á su red.
10:9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless when he draws him in his net.
31 ταπεινώσει αὐτὸν, κύψει καὶ πεσεῖται ἐν τῷ αὐτὸν κατακυριεῦσαι τῶν πενήτων.
10:10 Encógese, agáchase, y caen en sus fuerzas muchos desdichados.
10:10 The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
32 Εἶπε γὰρ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, ἐπιλέλησται ὁ Θεὸς, ἀπέστρεψε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν εἰς τέλος.
10:11 Dice en su corazón: Dios está olvidado, ha encubierto su rostro; nunca lo verá.
10:11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”
33 Ἀνάστηθι Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς, ὑψωθήτω ἡ χείρ σου, μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ τῶν πενήτων.
10:12 Levántate, oh Jehová Dios, alza tu mano, no te olvides de los pobres.
10:12 Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.
34 Ἕνεκεν τίνος παρώξυνεν ὁ ἀσεβὴς τὸν Θεόν; εἶπε γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, οὐ ζητήσει.
10:13 ¿Por qué irrita el malo á Dios? En su corazón ha dicho que no [lo] inquirirás.
10:13 Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account”?
35 Βλέπεις, ὅτι σὺ πόνον καὶ θυμὸν κατανοεῖς, τοῦ παραδοῦναι αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖράς σου· σοὶ ἐγκαταλέλειπται ὁ πτωχὸς, ὀρφανῷ σὺ ἦσθα βοηθός.
10:14 Tú [lo] tienes visto: porque tú miras el trabajo, y la vejación, para vengar[le] por tu mano: á ti se acoge el pobre, tú eres el amparo del huérfano.
10:14 But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
36 Σύντριψον τὸν βραχίονα τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ καὶ πονηροῦ, ζητηθήσεται ἡ ἁμαρτία αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ.
10:15 Quebranta el brazo del malo: del maligno buscarás su maldad, hasta que ninguna halles.
10:15 Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
37 Βασιλεύσει Κύριος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος, ἀπολεῖσθε ἔθνη ἐκ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ.
10:16 Jehová, Rey eterno y perpetuo; de su tierra fueron destruídas las gentes.
10:16 Yahweh is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.
38 Τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν τῶν πενήτων εἰσήκουσε Κύριος, τὴν ἑτοιμασίαν τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν προσέσχε τὸ οὖς σου·
10:17 El deseo de los humildes oíste, oh Jehová: tú dispones su corazón, y haces atento tu oído;
10:17 Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
39 Κρῖναι ὀρφανῷ καὶ ταπεινῷ, ἵνα μὴ προσθῇ ἔτι μεγαλαυχεῖν ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
10:18 Para juzgar al huérfano y al pobre, á fin de que no vuelva más á hacer violencia el hombre de la tierra.
10:18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.

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: 9, 10.

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 IX)

    The inscription of this Psalm is, "To the end for the hidden things of the Son, a Psalm of David himself." As to the hidden things of the Son there may be a question: but since he has not added whose, the very only-begotten Son of God should be understood.
