1 Oración de un afligido que, a punto de desfallecer, da rienda suelta a su lamento ante el Señor. ¡Escucha, Señor, mi oración! ¡Escucha mi súplica!
1 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before Yahweh. Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you.
2 No te apartes de mí cuando estoy angustiado. Inclina tu oído y respóndeme pronto cuando te llamo,
2 Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.
3 porque mis días se desvanecen como el humo, y mis huesos arden como rojas brasas.
3 For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a torch.
4 Mi corazón está enfermo y se marchita como la hierba; ¡hasta he perdido el apetito!
4 My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.
5 Por causa de mis gemidos, se me pueden contar los huesos.
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin.
6 Soy como un búho en el desierto, o como una lechuza solitaria en un lugar lejano y despoblado.
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.
7 Me paso las noches sin dormir, como solitario gorrión en el tejado.
7 I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.
8 Mis enemigos se burlan de mí día tras día y me maldicen.
8 My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.
9 Me alimento de cenizas en vez de comida. Por tu enojo en contra mía, por tu ira, mis lágrimas caen en lo que bebo.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,
10 Porque tú me levantas para luego tirarme.
10 because of your indignation and your wrath; for you have taken me up and thrown me away.
11 Pasa veloz mi vida como las sombras de la noche. Me voy marchitando como la hierba
11 My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.
12 mientras tú, oh Señor, reinas para siempre. Tu fama permanecerá por todas las generaciones.
12 But you, Yahweh, will remain forever; your renown endures to all generations.
13 Yo sé que vendrás y te apiadarás de Sion; y este es el tiempo de compadecerla, el tiempo en que prometiste que nos ayudarías.
13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for it is time to have pity on her. Yes, the set time has come.
14 Porque tú pueblo ama cada piedra de sus muros y se enternece por cada grano del polvo de sus calles.
14 For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity on her dust.
15 ¡Las naciones temblarán ante el Señor; los reyes de la tierra temblarán ante su gloria!
15 So the nations will fear Yahweh’s name, all the kings of the earth your glory.
16 Porque el Señor reconstruirá a Sion. Él surgirá en su gloria.
16 For Yahweh has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory.
17 Él escuchará las oraciones de los desamparados, y no rechazará sus ruegos.
17 He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.
18 Qué se escriba esto para las futuras generaciones, y que el pueblo que será creado alabe al Señor.
18 This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise Yah,
19 Diles que Dios miró desde su templo en los cielos,
19 for he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth,
20 para escuchar los gemidos de su pueblo en esclavitud, y liberar a los condenados a muerte.
20 to hear the groans of the prisoner, to free those who are condemned to death,
21 Y la fama del Señor se proclamará en Sion, y sus alabanzas en Jerusalén,
21 that men may declare Yahweh’s name in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,
22 cuando todos los pueblos y los reinos se reúnan para adorar al Señor.
22 when the peoples are gathered together, the kingdoms, to serve Yahweh.
23 En el curso de mi vida acabó Dios con mis fuerzas; me redujo los días.
23 He weakened my strength along the course. He shortened my days.
24 Por eso dije: «No me lleves, Dios mío, a la mitad de mi vida; tú permaneces por todas las generaciones.
24 I said, “My God, don’t take me away in the middle of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.
25 En tiempos pasados tú pusiste las bases de la tierra, e hiciste con tus manos los cielos.
25 Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.
26 Ellos perecerán, pero tú permanecerás para siempre. Ellos se desgastarán como vestiduras viejas, y tú como ropa los cambiarás, y los dejarás a un lado.
26 They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.
27 Pero tú eres siempre el mismo, y tus años no tienen fin.
27 But you are the same. Your years will have no end.
28 Los hijos de tus siervos vivirán seguros, y sus descendientes prosperarán en tu presencia».
28 The children of your servants will continue. Their offspring will be established before you.”

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).
In this Psalm, we ought to seek in the whole body of it what we find in the first verse: "Mercy and judgment will I sing unto Thee, O Lord" (ver. 1).

The children of Thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established for ever;" pointing out plainly what things they are that pass away, and who it is that doth endure for ever--God, together with His servants.
So, then, by a humble piety we return to Thee; and thou purgest us from our evil customs, and art merciful unto the sins of those who confess unto Thee, and dost "hear the groaning of the prisoner," and dost loosen us from those fetters which we have forged for ourselves, if we lift not up against Thee the horns …

On this account also one hath said, "My days have failed like smoke." He indeed was referring to their shortness of duration, and to their unsubstantial nature, but I would say that we should take what is said, not in this sense alone, but also as to their turbid character.

Hear David the Prophet saying, Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Thy hands; they shall perish, but Thou remainest.
