WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 ¡Ay de mí! Soy como el que ha llegado después de que ha pasado la cosecha y ya no encuentra ni higos ni uvas para comer. ¡Y yo que con tanta ilusión esperé por los buenos frutos!
1 Misery is mine! Indeed, I am like one who gathers the summer fruits, as gleanings of the vineyard. There is no cluster of grapes to eat. My soul desires to eat the early fig.
2 Ya no hay gente honrada en este país. ¡Ya no queda en este país ni una sola persona que practique la justicia! Son todas homicidas, que se vuelven contra sus propios familiares. ¡Unos a otros buscan hacerse daño!
2 The godly man has perished out of the earth, and there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; every man hunts his brother with a net.
3 ¡Se han vuelto expertos en hacer lo malo, a tal punto que no hay quien les supere en maldad! El gobernador exige recompensas, el juez acepta sobornos y el rico hace lo que le da la gana. ¡Por eso la ciudad se ha pervertido!
3 Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe. The powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together.
4 El mejor de ellos es peor que un arbusto lleno de espinas; el más recto está más retorcido que una zarza. Pero ya se acerca el día de su castigo, tal como lo anunciaron los profetas. ¡Ese día habrá mucho llanto y desesperación!
4 The best of them is like a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchmen, even your visitation, has come; now is the time of their confusion.
5 No confíes en nadie, ni en tu mejor amigo, mucho menos en tus gobernantes. ¡Ni siquiera confíes en tu esposa!
5 Don’t trust in a neighbor. Don’t put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, be careful of the words of your mouth!
6 Pues la maldad está tan extendida que el hijo desprecia a su padre, la hija desafía a su madre, la nuera maldice a su suegra. Sí, los enemigos de cada persona son los de su propia casa.
6 For the son dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
7 Pero yo he puesto toda mi confianza en el Señor; yo confío en que Dios me salvará de cualquier peligro, y estoy seguro que siempre escucha mis ruegos.
7 But as for me, I will look to Yahweh. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
8 No te regocijes de mi derrota, enemiga mía, porque aunque caiga, me volveré a levantar. Porque aunque ahora vivan esta situación tan difícil que parece que atravieso un túnel oscuro, el Señor me sacará adelante hasta que vuelva a tener la situación bajo control. El Señor es para mí como luz en la noche oscura.
8 Don’t rejoice against me, my enemy. When I fall, I will arise. When I sit in darkness, Yahweh will be a light to me.
9 Soportaré con paciencia mientras el Señor me castiga, porque reconozco que actué muy mal y lo ofendí. Pero estoy seguro de que luego él me defenderá de todos mis enemigos, y los castigará por todo el mal que me han hecho. Dios me sacará de las tinieblas a la luz, y me permitirá disfrutar de nuevo sus actos de bondad.
9 I will bear the indignation of Yahweh, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case and executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light. I will see his righteousness.
10 Entonces mi enemigo, el que se burlaba de mí diciendo: «¿Dónde está ese Dios tuyo?», quedará avergonzado. Con mis propios ojos veré su derrota, pues será pisoteado como se hace con el lodo de las calles.
10 Then my enemy will see it, and shame will cover her who said to me, “Where is Yahweh your God?” My eyes will see her. Now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.
11 Pueblo de Jerusalén, viene el día en que tus murallas serán reconstruidas y tus fronteras serán extendidas.
11 A day to build your walls! In that day, he will extend your boundary.
12 Ciudadanos de muchas naciones vendrán y te rendirán homenaje, desde Asiria hasta Egipto, desde el río Nilo hasta el río Éufrates, desde un mar hasta otro mar y desde un monte hasta otro monte.
12 In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and mountain to mountain.
13 La tierra de nuestros enemigos quedará convertida en un desierto a consecuencia de los horribles actos de maldad de sus habitantes.
13 Yet the land will be desolate because of those who dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
14 ¡Señor, ven y cuida a tu pueblo, apacienta a tu rebaño! Haz que tu pueblo viva en paz y con prosperidad; permítele deleitarse en las fértiles praderas de Basán y Galaad, como antes lo hacía.
14 Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your heritage, who dwell by themselves in a forest. Let them feed in the middle of fertile pasture land, in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 ¡Señor, realiza poderosos milagros en favor de tu pueblo, como los que hiciste cuando lo libraste de la esclavitud de Egipto!
15 “As in the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt, I will show them marvelous things.”
16 ¡Que todas las naciones se queden con la boca abierta al ver tus maravillas! ¡Que se avergüencen al ver que su fortaleza es poca cosa ante tu extraordinario poder! ¡Que se queden mudas y sordas al contemplar tus maravillas!
16 The nations will see and be ashamed of all their might. They will lay their hand on their mouth. Their ears will be deaf.
17 ¡Que se arrastren por el polvo como si fueran serpientes o reptiles! ¡Que salgan temblando de sus refugios y se rindan ante ti, Señor y Dios nuestro!
17 They will lick the dust like a serpent. Like crawling things of the earth, they will come trembling out of their dens. They will come with fear to Yahweh our God, and will be afraid because of you.
18 ¿Dónde hay otro Dios como tú, que perdona los pecados de los que aún quedan de su pueblo? Pues tú no retienes para siempre el enojo contra tu pueblo, porque amas la misericordia y el perdón más que la cólera y el castigo.
18 Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn’t retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness.
19 Una vez más ten compasión de nosotros y borra de tus registros nuestras faltas. ¡Olvídate de nuestras maldades como si hubieran sido echadas para siempre en lo más profundo del mar!
19 He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot. You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 ¡Permítenos, Señor, disfrutar otra vez de ese amor y esa fidelidad que hace muchos años prometiste a nuestros antepasados Abraham y Jacob!
20 You will give truth to Jacob, and mercy to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

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).

  1. Quotes verse 7:15–19 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CXIV)

    "According to the days of thy coming out of Egypt will I show unto him marvellous things, etc....In this Psalm, therefore, although the wonderful spirit of prophecy doth look into the future, yet it seemeth, as it were, to be merely detailing to the past.

  2. Quotes verse 7:5 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXV)

    Wherefore the prophet admonishes, saying, "Trust ye not in friends, have not hope in guides; yea, even of her that lieth in thy bosom beware, in respect of communicating aught to her:" and, "A man's enemies are the men that are in his own house." And this He said, preparing him that should receive the word to be above all.

  3. Quotes verse 7:2 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XII)

    for the godly man is perished out of the earth, and there is none that doeth right among men: and again, They are all gone out of the way, they are together became unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one: and again, Cursing and stealing, and adultery, and murder are poured out upon the land.
