ONBV Biblica Open New Living Bible (Nueva Biblia Viva 2008)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Salmo de David. ¡Qué felicidad la de aquellos cuya culpa ha sido perdonada! ¡Qué gozo hay cuando los pecados son borrados!
1 By David. A contemplative psalm. Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 ¡Qué alivio tienen los que han confesado sus pecados y a quienes el Señor ha borrado su registro de delincuencia y que viven en completa honestidad!
2 Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn’t impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 Hubo un tiempo en que yo rehusaba reconocer lo pecador que era. Pero era yo débil y miserable y gemía todo el día.
3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
4 Día y noche su mano pesaba sobre mí. Mi fuerza se evaporaba como agua en día de sol.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah.
5 Pero un día reconocí ante ti todos mis pecados y no traté de ocultarlos más. Dije para mí: «Se los voy a confesar al Señor». ¡Y tú me perdonaste! Toda mi culpa se esfumó.
5 I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 Por eso los fieles te invocan en momentos de angustia; caudalosas aguas podrán desbordarse, pero a ellos no los alcanzarán.
6 For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.
7 Tú eres mi refugio; tú me protegerás del peligro y me rodearás con cánticos de liberación.
7 You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8 El Señor dice: «Yo te instruiré y te guiaré por el mejor camino para tu vida; yo te aconsejaré y velaré por ti.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.
9 No seas como el caballo ni como la mula que no tienen discernimiento y que necesitan un freno en la boca para no salirse del camino».
9 Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.
10 Muchos dolores sobrevienen al malvado, pero el gran amor del Señor envuelve a los que en él confían.
10 Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in Yahweh.
11 ¡Regocíjense en él, ustedes los justos, y griten de júbilo todos ustedes los de recto corazón!
11 Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!

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).
