1 Al director musical. Masquil de los hijos de Coré. Oh Dios, hemos oído de las proezas que realizaste en días antiguos.
1 For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. A contemplative psalm. We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.
2 Nuestros antepasados nos han contado cómo echaste a las naciones paganas de esta tierra, y nos la diste toda, extendiendo a Israel de un extremo al otro del país.
2 You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.
3 No fue con su espada, ni por su propia fuerza y habilidad que vencieron, sino por tu gran poder y porque tú les sonreíste y los favoreciste.
3 For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
4 Tú eres mi rey y mi Dios. Ordena victorias para tu pueblo.
4 God, you are my King. Command victories for Jacob!
5 Porque sólo por tu poder y mediante tu nombre pisoteamos a nuestros enemigos y los hacemos retroceder.
5 Through you, we will push down our adversaries. Through your name, we will tread down those who rise up against us.
6 No confío yo en mis armas: jamás podrían salvarme.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither will my sword save me.
7 Sólo tú puedes darnos el triunfo sobre aquellos que nos odian y humillarlos.
7 But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.
8 ¡Dios, por siempre te glorificaremos! ¡Por siempre alabaremos tu nombre!
8 In God we have made our boast all day long. We will give thanks to your name forever. Selah.
9 Y sin embargo, por un tiempo, Señor, nos has echado a un lado con deshonra, sin salir con nuestros ejércitos a la batalla.
9 But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don’t go out with our armies.
10 Nos hiciste retroceder ante nuestros enemigos. Los que están en contra nuestra, han saqueado nuestros campos.
10 You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take plunder for themselves.
11 Nos has tratado como ovejas de matadero, y nos esparciste entre las naciones.
11 You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.
12 Nos vendiste, a tu pueblo amado, por una insignificancia. Consideraste que nada valíamos.
12 You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.
13 Las naciones vecinas se ríen y se mofan de nosotros por todo el mal que nos has enviado.
13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.
14 Nos has convertido en el hazmerreír de las naciones; todos los pueblos se burlan de nosotros.
14 You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
15 Soy constante objeto de humillación; se me cae la cara de vergüenza.
15 All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,
16 Todo lo que escucho son las burlas de los que me quieren poner en ridículo. Todo lo que veo son los deseos de venganza de mis enemigos.
16 at the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.
17 Todo esto nos ha sucedido, a pesar de que nunca te olvidamos ni faltamos jamás a tu pacto.
17 All this has come on us, yet we haven’t forgotten you. We haven’t been false to your covenant.
18 Nuestros corazones no te han abandonado, no nos hemos apartado ni un paso de tu senda.
18 Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,
19 Sin embargo, nos castigas en inhóspito desierto y nos envías las tinieblas y la muerte.
19 though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
20 Si hubiéramos dejado de adorar a nuestro Dios o hubiéramos alzado nuestras manos en oración a dioses extraños,
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread out our hands to a strange god,
21 ¿no lo sabría Dios? Sí, él conoce los secretos de cada corazón.
21 won’t God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Por tu causa, cada día nos llevan a la muerte; nos tratan como oveja para el matadero.
22 Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.
23 ¡Despierta! ¡Levántate! ¡No duermas, Señor! ¿Nos has desechado para siempre?
23 Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Don’t reject us forever.
24 ¿Por qué apartas la mirada? ¿Por qué te desentiendes de nuestros dolores y opresión?
24 Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
25 Estamos postrados con el rostro en el polvo.
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our body clings to the earth.
26 ¡Levántate, Señor, y acude en nuestra ayuda! Sálvanos por tu gran amor.
26 Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness’ sake.

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).
This Psalm is a short one; it satisfies the mental cravings of the hearers, without imposing too severe a trial on the hunger of those fasting.

… of with; as for instance, "I will go into thy house in burnt offerings," instead of with burnt offerings and "he brought them forth also by silver and gold," that is to say with silver and gold and "thou goest not forth in our armies" instead of with our armies, and innumerable similar passages.
