1 For the choirmaster. A song. A Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth!
1 Al Músico principal: Cántico: Salmo. ACLAMAD á Dios con alegría, toda la tierra:
2 Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious.
2 Cantad la gloria de su nombre: poned gloria [en] su alabanza.
3 Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You.
3 Decid á Dios: ¡Cuán terribles tus obras! Por lo grande de tu fortaleza te mentirán tus enemigos.
4 All the earth bows down to You; they sing praise to You; they sing praise to Your name.” Selah
4 Toda la tierra te adorará, y cantará á ti; cantarán á tu nombre. (Selah.)
5 Come and see the works of God; how awesome are His deeds toward mankind.
5 Venid, y ved las obras de Dios, terrible en hechos sobre los hijos de los hombres.
6 He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the waters on foot; there we rejoiced in Him.
6 Volvió la mar en seco; por el río pasaron á pie; allí en él nos alegramos.
7 He rules forever by His power; His eyes watch the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
7 El se enseñorea con su fortaleza para siempre: sus ojos atalayan sobre las gentes: los rebeldes no serán ensalzados. (Selah.)
8 Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of His praise be heard.
8 Bendecid, pueblos, á nuestro Dios, y haced oir la voz de su alabanza.
9 He preserves our lives and keeps our feet from slipping.
9 El [es el] que puso nuestra alma en vida, y no permitió que nuestros pies resbalasen.
10 For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us like silver.
10 Porque tú nos probaste, oh Dios: ensayástenos como se afina la plata.
11 You led us into the net; You laid burdens on our backs.
11 Nos metiste en la red; pusiste apretura en nuestros lomos.
12 You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but You brought us into abundance.
12 Hombres hiciste subir sobre nuestra cabeza; entramos en fuego y en aguas, y sacástenos á hartura.
13 I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my vows to You—
13 Entraré en tu casa con holocaustos: te pagaré mis votos,
14 the vows that my lips promised and my mouth spoke in my distress.
14 Que pronunciaron mis labios, y habló mi boca, cuando angustiado estaba.
15 I will offer You fatlings as burnt offerings, with the fragrant smoke of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. Selah
15 Holocaustos de cebados te ofreceré, con perfume de carneros: sacrificaré bueyes y machos cabríos. (Selah.)
16 Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for me.
16 Venid, oid todos los que teméis á Dios, y contaré lo que ha hecho á mi alma.
17 I cried out to Him with my mouth and praised Him with my tongue.
17 A él clamé con mi boca, y ensalzado fué con mi lengua.
18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
18 Si en mi corazón hubiese yo mirado á la iniquidad, el Señor no [me] oyera.
19 But God has surely heard; He has attended to the sound of my prayer.
19 Mas ciertamente [me] oyó Dios; antendió á la voz de mi súplica.
20 Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld from me His loving devotion!
20 Bendito Dios, que no echó [de sí] mi oración, ni de mí su misericordia.

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).
The voice of holy prophecy must be confessed in the very title of this Psalm. It is inscribed, "Unto the end, a Psalm of David, a song of Jeremiah and Ezekiel, on account of the people of transmigration when they were beginning to go forth." How it fared with our fathers in the time of the transmigration to Babylon, is …

This is the case where, as we have observed, it often stands instead of with; as for instance, "I will go into thy house in burnt offerings," instead of with burnt offerings and "he brought them forth also by silver and gold," that is to say with silver and gold and "thou goest not forth in our armies" instead of …
