WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 »¡Estoy harto de esta vida! Dejen que dé rienda suelta a mis quejas. Hablaré en mi dolor y en mi amargura.
1 “My soul is weary of my life. I will give free course to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 Le he dicho a Dios: No te limites a condenarme: dime por qué lo haces.
2 I will tell God, ‘Do not condemn me. Show me why you contend with me.
3 ¿De veras te parece bien oprimir y despreciar la obra de tus manos, y dar alegría y prosperidad a los malvados?
3 Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile on the counsel of the wicked?
4 ¿Eres injusto como los hombres? ¿Es tan breve tu vida como la de los humanos, que hayas de perseguirme por pecados que bien sabes no he cometido? ¿Será ello porque sabes que nadie puede librarme de tu mano?
4 Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?
5 Not in this translation
5 Are your days as the days of mortals, or your years as man’s years,
6 Not in this translation
6 that you inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
7 Not in this translation
7 Although you know that I am not wicked, there is no one who can deliver out of your hand.
8 »Tú me hiciste, y sin embargo me destruyes.
8 “‘Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether, yet you destroy me.
9 ¡Ay, te ruego que recuerdes que estoy hecho de polvo! ¿Tan pronto me harás volver al polvo?
9 Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?
10 Tú me has cambiado de vasija en vasija como leche y me has cuajado como queso.
10 Haven’t you poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Me diste piel y carne y uniste mis huesos y tendones.
11 You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
12 Me diste vida, y fuiste bueno y amoroso conmigo, y por tu cuidado me conservo vivo.
12 You have granted me life and loving kindness. Your visitation has preserved my spirit.
13 »Y sin embargo, sé que tu verdadera intención siempre fue vigilarme a ver si yo pecaba y negarte a perdonar mi iniquidad.
13 Yet you hid these things in your heart. I know that this is with you:
14 Not in this translation
14 if I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.
15 Si soy culpable, ¡pobre de mí! Y si soy inocente, de nada me vale. ¿Qué esperanza tengo?
15 If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still will not lift up my head, being filled with disgrace, and conscious of my affliction.
16 Si comienzo a levantarme del suelo, saltas sobre mí como un león y pronto acabas conmigo.
16 If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to me.
17 Renuevas tus testimonios contra mí y derramas sobre mí tu ira como torrente que aumenta sin cesar, y contra mí enfilas nuevos ejércitos.
17 You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation on me. Changes and warfare are with me.
18 »¿Por qué entonces dejaste que naciera? ¿Por qué no me dejaste morir al nacer?
18 “‘Why, then, have you brought me out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.
19 Así me habría ahorrado esta mísera existencia. Habría pasado directamente del vientre al sepulcro.
19 I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 ¿No ves cuán poco tiempo me queda? ¡Ay! Apártate de mí para que pueda tener un poco de consuelo antes de partir hacia la tierra de oscuridad y sombra de muerte, para ya nunca volver; tierra tenebrosa como la medianoche, tierra de sombra de muerte donde sólo reina la confusión, y donde la misma claridad es negra como la noche».
20 Aren’t my days few? Stop! Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
21 Not in this translation
21 before I go where I will not return from, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
22 Not in this translation
22 the land dark as midnight, of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is as midnight.’”

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).
Who knitted us with sinews and bones, and clothed us with skin and flesh, and, as soon as the child was born, brought streams of milk out of the breasts?
