WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 El Señor es mi luz y mi salvación; ¿a quién temeré? El Señor me protege del peligro, ¿quién podrá amedrentarme?
1 By David. Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 Cuando los malvados se lancen a destruirme, tropezarán y caerán.
2 When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
3 Sí, aunque un poderoso ejército marche contra mí, mi corazón no abrigará temor. Aunque ellos me ataquen, confío en Dios.
3 Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
4 Lo que pido de Dios, lo que más deseo, es el privilegio de meditar en su templo, vivir en su presencia cada día de mi vida y deleitarme en su perfección y gloria.
4 One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.
5 Allí estaré yo cuando sobrevengan las tribulaciones. Él me esconderá en su santuario. Él me pondrá sobre alta roca.
5 For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.
6 Entonces alzaré mi cabeza, sobre todos mis enemigos que me rodean. Entonces le llevaré sacrificios y con gran gozo entonaré sus alabanzas.
6 Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.
7 ¡Escucha mis súplicas, Señor! Ten piedad y envíame el socorro que necesito.
7 Hear, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
8 Mi corazón te oyó decir: «Ven y conversa conmigo». Y mi corazón responde: «Ya voy Señor».
8 When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, Yahweh.”
9 ¡Oh, no te ocultes cuando procuro hallarte! Airado, no rechaces a tu siervo. Tú has sido mi auxilio; no me dejes ahora, no me abandones, Dios de mi salvación:
9 Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.
10 Si mi padre y mi madre me abandonaran, tú me recibirías y me consolarías.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then Yahweh will take me up.
11 Señor, enséñame cómo debo vivir; guíame por la senda de rectitud, pues estoy rodeado de enemigos que me acechan.
11 Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
12 No dejes que me atrapen, Señor. ¡No permitas que yo caiga en sus manos! Porque me acusan de lo que jamás he cometido, y respiran contra mí violencia.
12 Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.
13 Yo sé que veré tu bondad, mientras esté aquí en la tierra de los vivientes.
13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.
14 Espera al Señor; él acudirá. Sé valiente, resuelto y animoso. Sí; espera, y él te ayudará.
14 Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

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).
It may be attributed to David himself, not the Mediator, the Man Christ Jesus, but the whole Church now perfectly established in Christ. 2. "Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence" (ver. 1).

And even now Thou drawest out of this vast deep the soul that seeketh Thee and thirsteth after Thy delights, whose "heart said unto Thee," I have sought Thy face, "Thy face, Lord, will I seek." For I was far from Thy face, through my darkened affections.
