ONBV Biblica Open New Living Bible (Nueva Biblia Viva 2008)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Oración de Moisés, hombre de Dios. ¡Señor, tú has sido nuestro refugio en todas las generaciones!
1 A Prayer by Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
2 Antes que los montes fueran creados, antes que la tierra fuera formada, tú eras Dios sin principio ni fin.
2 Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
3 Tú haces que el ser humano vuelva al polvo, cuando dices: «Vuelve al polvo».
3 You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.”
4 ¡Mil años son como el día de ayer para ti! ¡Son como unas cuantas horas!
4 For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.
5 Acabas con la gente como si fueran sueños que desaparecen; como hierba que nace en la mañana,
5 You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
6 que al amanecer brota verde y fresca, y por la noche ya está marchita y seca.
6 In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
7 Morimos bajo tu ira; tu enojo es como una carga muy pesada para nosotros.
7 For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
8 Frente a ti extiendes nuestros pecados, nuestros pecados secretos, y los ves todos.
8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9 Vivimos nuestras vidas bajo tu ira. Llegamos al fin de nuestras vidas como en un suspiro.
9 For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
10 Algunos llegamos a vivir hasta setenta años, quizás algunos alcancemos hasta los ochenta. Pero aun los mejores años de entre todos ellos, están llenos de dolor y problemas; pronto pasan y nosotros pasamos con ellos.
10 The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.
11 ¿Quién puede darse cuenta de los terrores de tu ira? ¿Quién de nosotros puede temer tu gran ira como debe?
11 Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
12 Enséñanos a contar bien nuestros días para que nuestro corazón se llene de sabiduría.
12 So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13 Oh Señor vuelve a nosotros. ¿Cuánto tardarás? Ten compasión de tus siervos.
13 Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants!
14 Llénanos con tu amor por la mañana, y toda nuestra vida cantaremos de alegría.
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Hemos sufrido días y años; ¡devuélvenos ahora esos días y años en alegría!
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
16 Que volvamos a ver tus milagros; que nuestros hijos vean maravillas; como las que antes hacías.
16 Let your work appear to your servants, your glory to their children.
17 Que el Señor nuestro Dios nos muestre su favor. Que el trabajo de nuestras manos tenga éxito; sí, que el trabajo de nuestras manos tenga éxito.
17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands.

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 LXXXIX)

    Understand, beloved, this Psalm, which I am about to explain, by the grace of God, of our hope in the Lord Jesus Christ, and be of good cheer, because He who promised, will fulfil all, as He has fulfilled much: for it is not our own merit, but His mercy, that gives us confidence in Him.

    … Abraham lived 175 of, and after him his son Isaac 180, and his son Jacob nearly 150, and some time after, Moses 120, and men now seventy or eighty, or not much longer, of which years it is said, "their strength is labor and sorrow." But that discrepancy of numbers which is found to exist between our own and the …

    Or if even this is so (for time flies, and a thousand years are in God's sight as one day, or as a watch in the night,) yet we cannot believe that He intended any such meaning on this occasion, especially as He went on to say, "Ye shall seek me, and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I …
