WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Escúchenme los que van tras la justicia, los que buscan a Yavé. Miren a la roca de la cual fueron cortados, la cantera de la cual fueron extraídos.
1 “Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Yahweh. Look to the rock you were cut from, and to the quarry you were dug from.
2 Miren a Abraham, su antepasado, y a Sara, quien los dio a luz. Porque cuando estaba solo lo llamé, lo bendije y lo multipliqué.
2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, I blessed him, and made him many.
3 Ciertamente Yavé consolará a Sion. Consolará todos sus lugares desolados. Convertirá su desierto en un paraíso y su soledad en un huerto de Yavé. Allí habrá gozo y alegría, acciones de gracias y voz de melodía.
3 For Yahweh has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh. Joy and gladness will be found in them, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4 Está atento a Mí, pueblo mío. Escúchame, oh nación mía. Porque de Mí saldrá la Ley. Estableceré mi justicia para luz de los pueblos.
4 “Listen to me, my people; and hear me, my nation, for a law will go out from me, and I will establish my justice for a light to the peoples.
5 Cercana está mi justicia. Salió mi salvación. Mis brazos juzgarán a los pueblos. Las costas esperarán en Mí y esperan mi brazo con expectación.
5 My righteousness is near. My salvation has gone out, and my arms will judge the peoples. The islands will wait for me, and they will trust my arm.
6 Levanten sus ojos al cielo y contemplen la tierra acá abajo. Porque el cielo se desvanecerá como el humo. La tierra envejecerá como una ropa, y los que la habitan morirán de igual manera. Pero mi salvación será para siempre, y mi justicia no será abolida.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth beneath; for the heavens will vanish away like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment. Its inhabitants will die in the same way, but my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will not be abolished.
7 Escúchenme, los que conocen mi justicia, pueblo en cuyo corazón está mi Ley. No teman la afrenta del hombre, ni desmayen por sus ultrajes.
7 “Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Don’t fear the reproach of men, and don’t be dismayed at their insults.
8 Porque la polilla los comerá como a una ropa, y los devorará como el gusano a la lana. Pero mi justicia permanecerá eternamente, y mi salvación por los siglos de los siglos.
8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation to all generations.”
9 ¡Despierta, despierta, vístete de fuerza, oh brazo de Yavé! ¡Despierta como en los días de antaño, como en las generaciones antiguas! ¿No eres Tú el mismo que destrozó a Rahab, el que traspasó al dragón?
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Yahweh! Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
10 ¿No eres Tú el que secó el mar, las aguas del gran abismo? ¿El que transformó las profundidades del mar en camino para que pasaran los redimidos?
10 Isn’t it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
11 Así los redimidos de Yavé volverán y entrarán a Sion con gritos de júbilo, y gozo eterno habrá sobre sus cabezas. Obtendrán gozo y alegría. Huirán el dolor y el gemido.
11 Those ransomed by Yahweh will return, and come with singing to Zion. Everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
12 Yo soy, Yo soy Quien los consuela. ¿Quién eres tú para que temas al hombre que es mortal, al hijo de hombre que es como pasto seco?
12 “I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who will be made as grass?
13 ¿Ya te olvidaste de Yavé, tu Hacedor, Quien desplegó los cielos y cimentó la tierra para que tiembles continuamente todos los días ante la furia del opresor cuando se dispone a destruir? ¿Pero dónde está la furia del opresor?
13 Have you forgotten Yahweh your Maker, who stretched out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth? Do you live in fear continually all day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he prepares to destroy? Where is the fury of the oppressor?
14 El prisionero agobiado pronto será libertado. No morirá en la cárcel ni le faltará su pan.
14 The captive exile will speedily be freed. He will not die and go down into the pit. His bread won’t fail.
15 Porque Yo soy Yavé tu ʼElohim, Quien agita el mar y rugen sus olas. Mi Nombre es el Yavé de las huestes.
15 For I am Yahweh your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar. Yahweh of Armies is his name.
16 Yo extendí los cielos y fundé la tierra. Puse mis Palabras en tu boca. Te cubrí con la sombra de mi mano y digo a Sion: Tú eres pueblo mío.
16 I have put my words in your mouth and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
17 ¡Despierta! ¡Despierta! ¡Levántate, oh Jerusalén! Porque de la mano de Yavé bebiste la copa de su furor. Porque de la copa del aturdimiento bebiste hasta los sedimentos.
17 Awake, awake! Stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk from Yahweh’s hand the cup of his wrath. You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
18 Entre los hijos que ella dio a luz, no hay uno que la guíe. Entre todos los hijos que ella crió, no hay uno que la lleve de la mano.
18 There is no one to guide her among all the sons to whom she has given birth; and there is no one who takes her by the hand among all the sons whom she has brought up.
19 Esos dos males te vinieron: desolación y quebrantamiento, hambre y espada. ¿Quién se compadecerá de ti? ¿Quién te consolará?
19 These two things have happened to you— who will grieve with you?— desolation and destruction, and famine and the sword. How can I comfort you?
20 Tus hijos desfallecieron. Están tendidos al comienzo de todas las calles como antílope en la red, llenos de la ira de Yavé, de la reprensión de tu ʼElohim.
20 Your sons have fainted. They lie at the head of all the streets, like an antelope in a net. They are full of Yahweh’s wrath, the rebuke of your God.
21 Por tanto, escucha esto, oh afligida, embriagada, y no de vino.
21 Therefore now hear this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
22 ʼAdonay el Yavé y tu ʼElohim, Quien aboga por su pueblo, dice: Ciertamente Yo quito de tu mano la copa del aturdimiento. Nunca más beberás los sedimentos de la copa de mi ira.
22 Your Lord Yahweh, your God who pleads the cause of his people, says, “Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath. You will not drink it any more.
23 La pondré en la mano de tus angustiadores, los que te decían: Póstrate y pasemos por encima. Y tú colocabas tu espalda como suelo, como calzada para los transeúntes.
23 I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, ‘Bow down, that we may walk over you;’ and you have laid your back as the ground, like a street to those who walk over.”

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).
But my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not pass away." Chapter IV.--Answer to another objection, showing that the destruction of Jerusalem, which was the city of the great King, diminished nothing from the supreme majesty and power of God, for that this destruction was put in execution by the most wise counsel of the same God.
For it is written they say, "As the moth consumes the garment, and the worm the wood, so does grief consume the heart of a man." But they who make no doubt that in that future punishment both body and soul shall suffer, affirm that the body shall be burned with fire, while the soul shall be, as it were, …
