ONBV Biblica Open New Living Bible (Nueva Biblia Viva 2008)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Salmo de David, para las ofrendas memoriales. ¡Señor, no me reprendas en tu enojo! ¡Señor no me castigues mientras estés airado!
1 A Psalm by David, for a memorial. Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
2 Tus flechas me han herido profundamente; tus golpes me están demoliendo.
2 For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.
3 Por tu ira tengo el cuerpo enfermo; mi salud está quebrantada bajo mis pecados.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
4 Mis culpas me abruman; son una carga demasiado pesada de llevar.
4 For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
5 Mis heridas se han infectado y apestan por causa de mi necedad.
5 My wounds are loathsome and corrupt because of my foolishness.
6 Estoy encorvado y corroído de dolores. Mis días están llenos de angustia.
6 I am in pain and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.
7 Estoy ardiendo de fiebre y todo mi cuerpo está enfermo.
7 For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.
8 Estoy agotado y agobiado; mi corazón gime desesperado.
8 I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
9 Señor, tú conoces mis anhelos. Tú oyes todo suspiro mío.
9 Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
10 El corazón se me quiere salir; me faltan las fuerzas y me estoy volviendo ciego.
10 My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.
11 Mis seres queridos y mis amigos se mantienen lejos de mí por miedo a mi enfermedad. Hasta mi propia familia se mantiene alejada.
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.
12 Mientras tanto, mis enemigos procuran matarme. Traman mi ruina, y se pasan el día planeando traiciones.
12 They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.
13 Pero soy sordo a todas sus amenazas; callo ante ellos como quien no sabe hablar.
13 But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.
14 Hago como que no oigo y no respondo.
14 Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 Yo Señor, espero en ti; tú Señor y Dios mío serás quien responda.
15 For I hope in you, Yahweh. You will answer, Lord my God.
16 Pon fin a la arrogancia de esos que ríen perversamente al verme derribado.
16 For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”
17 ¡Estoy a punto de desmayar! ¡Esta fuente de dolor no cesa ni un instante!
17 For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
18 Yo confieso mis pecados; lamento lo que hice.
18 For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.
19 Pero mis enemigos me persiguen encarnizadamente; siguen odiándome, aunque nada hice para provocar su odio.
19 But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20 Me pagan mal por bien, y me detestan porque defiendo la justicia.
20 They who give evil for good are also adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.
21 No me dejes, Señor; ¡no te vayas!
21 Don’t forsake me, Yahweh. My God, don’t be far from me.
22 ¡Ven pronto! Ayúdame, Señor de mi salvación.
22 Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.

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 XXXVII)

    With terror do they hear of the coming of the last day, who will not be secure by living well: and who fain would live ill, long.

  2. Quotes verse 38:14 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XIII)

    The Psalmist says, And I became as a man that heareth not; and in whose mouth are no reproofs; and again, But I was as a deaf man and heard not; and as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
