ONBV Biblica Open New Living Bible (Nueva Biblia Viva 2008)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Al director musical. Salmo de David. Señor, sólo en ti confío. No permitas que mis enemigos me derroten. Líbrame, pues tú eres el Dios que siempre procede rectamente.
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Respóndeme pronto cuando a ti clamo; inclina tu oído y escucha el susurro de mi súplica. Sé para mí la gran roca que me protege de mis enemigos.
2 Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.
3 Sí, tú eres mi roca y mi fortaleza; honra el nombre tuyo sacándome de este peligro.
3 For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
4 Líbrame de la trampa que mis enemigos han armado para mí. Porque sólo en ti hallo protección.
4 Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.
5 En tus manos encomiendo mi espíritu. Tú, el Dios que cumple sus promesas, me has rescatado.
5 Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, Yahweh, God of truth.
6 Odio a los que adoran ídolos sin valor; yo confío en el Señor.
6 I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in Yahweh.
7 Irradio gozo por tu misericordia; porque me has escuchado en mis tribulaciones y has visto las crisis de mi espíritu.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.
8 No me entregaste a mi enemigo sino que me pusiste en un lugar seguro.
8 You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.
9 ¡Señor, apiádate de mí en mi angustia! Tengo los ojos enrojecidos de llorar; el dolor ha quebrantado mi salud.
9 Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.
10 Me va consumiendo la pena; mis años se han acortado, agotados por la tristeza. Mi desgracia ha acabado con mi fuerza. Me estoy acabando por dentro.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.
11 Todos mis enemigos se burlan, mis vecinos me desprecian y mis amigos tienen miedo de acercárseme. Temen toparse conmigo; vuelven la vista cuando yo paso.
11 Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, a horror to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.
12 Me han echado al olvido como a un muerto, como a vasija rota y desechada.
12 I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.
13 Son muchos los rumores que he oído acerca de mí, y estoy rodeado de terror. Se han confabulado contra mí mis enemigos, porque traman quitarme la vida.
13 For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.
14 Pero yo confío en ti, Señor y digo: Tú eres mi Dios.
14 But I trust in you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my God.”
15 En tus manos está mi vida entera. Rescátame de quienes me persiguen implacables.
15 My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
16 Que tu gracia brille sobre tu siervo; ¡sálvame tan sólo por tu misericordia!
16 Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.
17 Señor, no permitas que me avergüencen, porque a ti he clamado. Que sean avergonzados los malvados, y acallados en el sepulcro.
17 Let me not be disappointed, Yahweh, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol.
18 Que sean silenciados sus labios mentirosos, porque hablan contra los justos con orgullo, desdén e insolencia.
18 Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.
19 ¡Cuán grande es tu bondad para los que a la vista de la gente declaran que tú los rescatarás! Porque guardas grandes bendiciones para quienes en ti confían y te reverencian.
19 Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!
20 Oculta a tus amados en el refugio de tu presencia, a salvo bajo tu mano, a salvo de las lenguas acusadoras.
20 In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.
21 ¡Bendito el Señor, porque me ha demostrado que su infaltable amor me protege como cuando me hallaba en una ciudad a la que iban a atacar!
21 Praise be to Yahweh, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.
22 Hablé a la ligera cuando dije: «El Señor me ha abandonado», pues tú escuchaste mi plegaria y me respondiste.
22 As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.
23 ¡Amen al Señor, ustedes los que le son fieles. El Señor protege a quienes le son leales; pero castiga duramente a cuantos lo rechazan altivos.
23 Oh love Yahweh, all you his saints! Yahweh preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.
24 Anímense y sean fuertes todos ustedes que confían en el Señor.
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in 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).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XXX)

    To the end, a Psalm of the joy of the Resurrection, and the change, the renewing of the body to an immortal state, and not only of the Lord, but also of the whole Church.

  3. Quotes verse 31:19 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XXI, Chapters 17–19)

    However, they think that the divine oracles are not altogether silent on this point; for they ask to what purpose is it said, "How great is Thy goodness which Thou hast hidden for them that fear Thee," if it be not to teach us that the great and hidden sweetness of God's mercy is concealed in order that men may …

  4. Quotes verse 31:19 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XXI, Chapters 22–24)

    But that these perversely compassionate persons may see what is the purport of these words, "How great is the abundance of Thy sweetness, Lord, which Thou hast hidden for them that fear Thee," let them read what follows: "And Thou hast perfected it for them that hope in Thee." For what means, "Thou hast hidden it for them that fear …
