Notes on this text (1)

1 Bendice, alma mía, a Yavé, Y bendiga todo mi ser su santo Nombre. 2 Bendice, alma mía, a Yavé, Y no olvides ninguno de sus beneficios. 3 Él es Quien perdona todas tus iniquidades, Quien sana todas tus dolencias, 4 Quien rescata del hoyo tu vida, Quien te corona de misericordia y compasión, 5 Quien sacia tu boca con buenas cosas, De modo que te rejuvenezcas como el águila. 6 Yavé es Quien hace justicia Y juicios justos para todos los oprimidos. 7 Dio a conocer sus caminos a Moisés, Y a los hijos de Israel sus obras. 8 Compasivo y bondadoso es Yavé, Lento para la ira y grande en misericordia. 9 No contenderá para siempre, Ni para siempre guardará [el enojo]. 10 No nos trató según nuestras iniquidades, Ni nos retribuyó según nuestros pecados. 11 Porque como la altura de los cielos sobre la tierra, Engrandeció su misericordia hacia los que le temen. 12 Tan lejos como está el oriente del occidente Removió de nosotros nuestras transgresiones. 13 Como un padre tiene compasión de [sus] hijos, Así Yavé tiene compasión de los que le temen. 14 Porque Él conoce nuestra condición. Se acuerda de que somos polvo. 15 Como la hierba son los días del hombre. Florece como una flor del campo. 16 Cuando el viento pasa sobre ella, ya no existe, Y su lugar ya no la reconoce. 17 Pero la misericordia de Yavé es desde la eternidad Hasta la eternidad sobre los que le temen, Y su justicia sobre los hijos de los hijos, 18 Sobre los que observan su Pacto Y recuerdan sus Preceptos para practicarlos. 19 Yavé estableció en los cielos su trono, Y su reino domina sobre todo. 20 Bendigan a Yavé, ustedes sus ángeles, Poderosos en fortaleza, Que ejecutan su Palabra, Al obedecer la voz de su mandato. 21 Bendigan a Yavé, ustedes todas sus huestes, Ministros suyos que hacen su voluntad. 22 Bendigan a Yavé ustedes, todas sus obras, En todos los lugares de su señorío. Bendice, oh alma mía, a Yavé.

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 CII)

    Behold, one poor man prayeth, and prayeth not in silence. We may therefore hear him, and see who he is: whether it be not perchance He, of whom the Apostle saith, "Though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich." If it is He, then, how is He poor?

    What He saith therefore is this: "As there all things are done without hindrance, and the angels are not partly obedient and partly disobedient, but in all things yield and obey (for He saith, Mighty in strength, performing His word'); so vouchsafe that we men may not do Thy will by halves, but perform all things as Thou willest."

    For the tradition that has been given us by the quickening grace must remain for ever inviolate.
