WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 ¡Escuchen ahora! No es que el Señor se haya debilitado tanto que no pueda salvarlos, ni se ha vuelto sordo que no pueda escucharlos cuando claman.
1 Behold, Yahweh’s hand is not shortened, that it can’t save; nor his ear dull, that it can’t hear.
2 El problema está en que sus pecados los han separado de Dios. Por causa del pecado él ha escondido su rostro de ustedes y ya no quiere escucharlos.
2 But your iniquities have separated you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.
3 Porque las manos de ustedes están llenas de sangre por los crímenes que han cometido, y sobre todo eso, mienten y murmuran, y se oponen al bien.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies. Your tongue mutters wickedness.
4 Nadie se preocupa por ser justo y fiel. Sus litigios se fundan en mentiras; pasan el tiempo planeando males y ejecutándolos.
4 No one sues in righteousness, and no one pleads in truth. They trust in vanity and speak lies. They conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.
5 Dedican su tiempo y energía a trazar planes perversos cuyo fin es sangriento.
5 They hatch adders’ eggs and weave the spider’s web. He who eats of their eggs dies; and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
6 Engañan y estafan a todos. Cuanto hacen es pecaminoso; la violencia es su marca distintiva.
6 Their webs won’t become garments. They won’t cover themselves with their works. Their works are works of iniquity, and acts of violence are in their hands.
7 Sus pies corren hacia el mal y se apresuran a cometer homicidio; sólo piensan en pecar y a dondequiera que van dejan un rastro de dolor y de muerte.
7 Their feet run to evil, and they hurry to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity. Desolation and destruction are in their paths.
8 Ignoran qué es la paz, o qué significa ser justo y bueno; continuamente hacen el mal, y quienes van en pos de ustedes tampoco gozan de paz.
8 They don’t know the way of peace; and there is no justice in their ways. They have made crooked paths for themselves; whoever goes in them doesn’t know peace.
9 Es por todo ese mal que no cuentan con las bendiciones de Dios; por eso es que él no castiga a quienes les hacen mal a ustedes. Con razón caminan en tinieblas y no en luz;
9 Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness doesn’t overtake us. We look for light, but see darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.
10 con razón andan a tientas como ciegos y tropiezan aun en pleno día. Aun cuando el sol brilla en su esplendor, para ustedes es como si fuera noche oscura. Se mantienen con vida, pero carentes de vigor.
10 We grope for the wall like the blind. Yes, we grope as those who have no eyes. We stumble at noon as if it were twilight. Among those who are strong, we are like dead men.
11 Dan rugidos como osos hambrientos; se quejan con gemidos lastimeros como palomas. Buscan a Dios para que los proteja, pero él se abstiene, él les ha vuelto la espalda,
11 We all roar like bears and moan sadly like doves. We look for justice, but there is none, for salvation, but it is far off from us.
12 porque sus pecados siguen amontonándose en presencia del justo Dios, y dan testimonio en contra suya. Ustedes mismos dicen: Sí, sabemos lo pecadores que somos,
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before you, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them:
13 conocemos nuestra desobediencia, hemos negado al Señor Dios nuestro. Sabemos lo rebeldes e injustos que somos, pues minuciosamente tramamos nuestras mentiras.
13 transgressing and denying Yahweh, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
14 Nuestros tribunales se oponen a la justicia y se desconoce en ellos la imparcialidad. La verdad cae muerta en las calles y la justicia no tiene lugar en sus vidas.
14 Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness stands far away; for truth has fallen in the street, and uprightness can’t enter.
15 ¡Sí, desapareció la verdad y a todo el que se aparta del mal, lo despojan de todo! El Señor contempló todo este mal y le desagradó ver que no se tomaban medidas contra el pecado.
15 Yes, truth is lacking; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Yahweh saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.
16 Se asombró de que nadie interviniera y decidió salvarlos con su poder y su justicia.
16 He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor. Therefore his own arm brought salvation to him; and his righteousness sustained him.
17 Se vistió colocándose la justicia como armadura y puso en su cabeza la salvación como un yelmo. Se puso vestiduras de venganza y de santa furia.
17 He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head. He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.
18 Pagará a sus enemigos por sus maldades, con furia para sus enemigos de tierras lejanas.
18 According to their deeds, he will repay as appropriate: wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies. He will repay the islands their due.
19 Entonces, las naciones temblarán de miedo ante el Señor, y le rendirán homenaje, porque vendrá como río caudaloso impulsado por un viento muy fuerte.
19 So they will fear Yahweh’s name from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which Yahweh’s breath drives.
20 El Señor vendrá a redimir a los moradores de Jerusalén y a todos los israelitas que se arrepientan de su pecado. ¡Él así lo ha afirmado!
20 “A Redeemer will come to Zion, and to those who turn from disobedience in Jacob,” says Yahweh.
21 El Señor dice así: Yo hago un pacto con ustedes y les prometo que mi poder y mis enseñanzas nunca se apartarán de ustedes ni de sus descendientes.
21 “As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says Yahweh. “My Spirit who is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your offspring, nor out of the mouth of your offspring’s offspring,” says Yahweh, “from now on and forever.”

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).
For while they remain, there remains in some sort enmity against God, and alienation from Him, which comes from what is evil in us; since Scripture does not speak falsely, which says, "Your sins separate between you and God." He does not then bestow on us His good things, except He take away our evil things.

"Our years are passed in thought like a spider." We were labouring in things corruptible, corruptible works were we weaving together: which, as the Prophet Isaiah saith, by no means covered us. "The days of our years are in themselves," etc.
