WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Finalmente, el cofre de Dios fue colocado en la carpa que David había preparado para él, y los jefes de Israel sacrificaron ofrendas quemadas y ofrendas de paz delante de Dios.
1 They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
2 Al finalizar estos sacrificios, David bendijo a la gente en el nombre del Señor;
2 When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in Yahweh’s name.
3 luego procedió a dar a cada persona presente, hombres y mujeres por igual, una rebanada de pan, un poco de vino y una torta de pasas.
3 He gave to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.
4 Hizo el nombramiento de determinados levitas para servir delante del cofre, para que alabaran y dieran gracias al Señor.
4 He appointed some of the Levites to minister before Yahweh’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank, and to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel:
5 Los nombrados fueron: Asaf, el jefe, Zacarías, Jejiyel, Semiramot, Jehiel, Matatías, Eliab, Benaías, Obed Edom y Jeyel, los cuales tocaban las arpas y las cítaras, mientras que Asaf tocaba los címbalos.
5 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;
6 Los sacerdotes Benaías y Jahaziel tocaban continuamente sus trompetas delante del cofre del Señor.
6 with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 En ese tiempo, David encargó, por primera vez, a Asaf y a sus compañeros que alabaran al Señor con este salmo:
7 Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to Yahweh by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
8 «¡Den gracias al Señor y oren a él! ¡Cuéntenle a los otros pueblos las maravillas que él ha hecho!
8 Oh give thanks to Yahweh. Call on his name. Make what he has done known among the peoples.
9 Cántenle, sí, canten sus alabanzas, proclamen sus maravillosas obras.
9 Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.
10 Gloria a su santo nombre; regocíjense los que buscan al Señor.
10 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
11 Busquen al Señor; sí, busquen su fortaleza; sin descanso busquen su rostro.
11 Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
12 »Descendientes de su siervo Israel, hijos escogidos de Jacob, recuerden sus poderosos milagros, recuerden sus obras maravillosas y sus sabias decisiones.
12 Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
13 Not in this translation
13 you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14 ¡Él es el Señor nuestro Dios! Su autoridad es visible a través de toda la tierra.
14 He is Yahweh our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
15 Recuerden su pacto para siempre, y las palabras que dio para mil generaciones;
15 Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
16 recuerden su pacto con Abraham, y del juramento que le hizo a Isaac,
16 the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
17 y su confirmación a Jacob. Le hizo una promesa a Israel, la cual es para siempre:
17 He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 “Te daré la tierra de Canaán como tu herencia”.
18 saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”
19 Cuando los israelitas eran pocos, muy pocos, y tan sólo extraños en la Tierra prometida;
19 when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
20 cuando iban errantes de país en país, de un reino a otro,
20 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
21 Dios no permitió a nadie que les hiciera daño. Por amor a su pueblo, les advertía a los reyes:
21 He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
22 “No hagan daño a mi pueblo escogido; no traten mal a mis profetas”.
22 “Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
23 »¡Que toda la tierra cante al Señor! ¡Declaren todos los días que el Señor es quien salva!
23 Sing to Yahweh, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.
24 ¡Muestren su gloria a las naciones! Proclamen a todos sus maravillas.
24 Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.
25 Por cuanto el Señor es grande y digno de ser siempre alabado; es más temible que todos los dioses.
25 For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.
26 Pues los otros dioses son solo imágenes; pero el Señor hizo los cielos.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.
27 Majestad y honor marchan delante de él. Poder y belleza hay en su santuario.
27 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
28 »¡Habitantes de todas las naciones de la tierra, reconozcan el gran poder de nuestro Dios, y adórenlo!
28 Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of the peoples, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!
29 Sí, ¡aclamen al Señor, y ríndanle la alabanza que se merece! Traigan una ofrenda y vengan delante de él; ¡adoren al Señor en su santuario!
29 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship Yahweh in holy array.
30 ¡Tiemble delante de él toda la tierra! Él creó el mundo y lo puso en su lugar, y el mundo no se moverá.
30 Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can’t be moved.
31 ¡Que los cielos estén alegres, que se regocije la tierra! Que todas las naciones digan: “¡El Señor es quien reina!”.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns!”
32 »Bramen los vastos mares, regocíjese la campiña y lo que en ella hay.
32 Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!
33 Los árboles y los bosques canten de gozo delante del Señor, porque él viene a juzgar al mundo.
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Yahweh, for he comes to judge the earth.
34 »Den gracias al Señor, porque él es bueno; su amor y su bondad continúan para siempre.
34 Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
35 Clamen a él y díganle: “Sálvanos, Dios de nuestra salvación; permítenos regresar sin ningún contratiempo a nuestra tierra. Entonces expresaremos nuestra gratitud a tu Santo Nombre, y nos alegraremos en nuestra alabanza a ti”.
35 Say, “Save us, God of our salvation! Gather us together and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise.”
36 ¡Bendito sea el Señor, Dios de Israel, para siempre y por siempre jamás!». Y todos los presentes dijeron: «¡Amén!», y alabaron al Señor.
36 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised Yahweh.
37 David dispuso que Asaf y sus colegas levitas se encargaran del cuidado del cofre del pacto del Señor, y de la celebración del culto delante de ella, de acuerdo con las instrucciones ya existentes.
37 So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required;
38 David también nombró como porteros a Obed Edom hijo de Jedutún, Josá, y el otro Obed Edom, y sesenta y ocho de sus colegas.
38 and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
39 Al sacerdote Sadoc y a sus compañeros los encargó del santuario del Señor, que estaba en el cerro de Gabaón,
39 and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests, before Yahweh’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,
40 para que ofrecieran diariamente, sobre el altar, los sacrificios de la mañana y de la tarde, tal como el Señor había ordenado a Israel.
40 to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in Yahweh’s law, which he commanded to Israel;
41 David había designado también a Hemán, Jedutún y a varios otros, que había elegido por nombre, para que cantaran al Señor el coro: «Su gran amor es eterno».
41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Yahweh, because his loving kindness endures forever;
42 Usaban sus trompetas y címbalos para acompañar a los cantores con alabanzas a Dios en voz alta. Y los hijos de Jedutún fueron designados como porteros.
42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God, and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.
43 Por fin, se terminó la celebración, y la gente regresó a sus casas; también David fue a su casa para bendecir a su familia.
43 All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.

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).
