Notes on this text (1)
ONBV Biblica Open New Living Bible (Nueva Biblia Viva 2008)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Al director musical. Según majalat. Masquil de David. Las personas necias afirman que no hay Dios. Están corrompidas, sus obras son perversas; ¡no hay una sola que haga lo bueno!
1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Mahalath.” A contemplation by David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.
2 Dios mira desde el cielo buscando entre la humanidad a ver si encuentra siquiera una sola persona que haga el bien y realmente busque a Dios.
2 God looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God.
3 Pero todos le han vuelto la espalda; todos se han corrompido. Ni siquiera uno es bueno, ¡ni uno!
3 Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.
4 ¿Es que los que hacen lo malo no pueden comprender nada? Devoran a mi pueblo como pan y rehúsan acudir a Dios.
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on God?
5 Pero pronto un inaudito terror les sobrevendrá. Dios esparcirá los huesos de esos enemigos suyos. Están condenados, porque Dios los ha rechazado.
5 There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you. You have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.
6 ¡Quiera Dios que de Sion venga la salvación para Israel! Cuando Dios restaure a su pueblo, Jacob gritará de alegría; Israel se regocijará.
6 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back his people from captivity, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

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).

    The title of the Psalm hath: "At the end, understanding of David, when there came Doeg the Edomite and told Saul, David hath come into the house of Abimelech:" whereas we read that he had come into the house of Achimelech.
