PDT God's Word for You (Latin American Textual Bible)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Bendice, alma mía, a Yavé. ¡Oh Yavé, ʼElohim mío, cuánto te has engrandecido! Estás cubierto de esplendor y majestad.
1 Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.
2 Te cubres como con un manto de luz. Extiendes el cielo como una cortina.
2 He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.
3 Él coloca sobre las aguas las vigas de sus altas moradas. Él convierte las nubes en su carroza. Él anda sobre las alas del viento.
3 He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.
4 Él designa los vientos como sus mensajeros, Y las llamas de fuego, como sus ministros.
4 He makes his messengers winds, and his servants flames of fire.
5 Él estableció la tierra sobre sus cimientos Para que no sea sacudida.
5 He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.
6 Le colocaste como una ropa el abismo. Las aguas estaban sobre las montañas.
6 You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.
7 A tu reprensión huyeron, Se precipitaron al estruendo de tu trueno.
7 At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.
8 Subieron las montañas, Bajaron los valles al lugar que estableciste para ellos.
8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.
9 Les fijaste un límite que no traspasarán, De manera que no volverán a cubrir la tierra.
9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.
10 Él envía manantiales por los valles. Ellos fluyen entre las montañas.
10 He sends springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.
11 Dan de beber a todas las bestias del campo. Mitigan su sed los asnos monteses.
11 They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 Junto a ellos habitan las aves del cielo. Elevan voces entre las ramas.
12 The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.
13 Él riega las montañas desde sus altas cámaras. Con el fruto de las obras de Él está saciada la tierra.
13 He waters the mountains from his rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.
14 Él desarrolla el pasto para el ganado, Y la vegetación para el servicio del hombre De tal modo que saque alimento de la tierra,
14 He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may produce food out of the earth:
15 Y vino que alegra el corazón del hombre, El aceite para que brille su semblante Y el pan que sustenta la vida del hombre.
15 wine that makes the heart of man glad, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man’s heart.
16 Los árboles de Yavé beben su savia, Los cedros del Líbano que Él plantó,
16 Yahweh’s trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,
17 Donde las aves construyen sus nidos, La cigüeña, cuya casa está en los cipreses,
17 where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the cypress trees.
18 Las altas montañas para las cabras monteses, Las peñas, madrigueras de los conejos.
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.
19 Él hizo la luna para las estaciones. El sol conoce el punto de su ocaso.
19 He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.
20 Pones la oscuridad y es de noche. En ella corretean todos los animales del bosque.
20 You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.
21 Los leoncillos rugen tras la presa Y buscan de ʼEL su comida.
21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
22 Al salir el sol se retiran Y se echan en sus guaridas.
22 The sun rises, and they steal away, and lie down in their dens.
23 Sale el hombre a su trabajo, A su labor hasta el anochecer.
23 Man goes out to his work, to his labor until the evening.
24 ¡Cuán innumerables son tus obras, oh Yavé! Hiciste todas ellas con sabiduría. La tierra está llena de tus posesiones.
24 Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom, you have made them all. The earth is full of your riches.
25 Ahí está el grande y ancho mar, Donde hay enjambre de incontables animales, Tanto pequeños como grandes.
25 There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.
26 Allí navegan los barcos, [Y el ]cocodrilo que formaste para que juguetee en él.
26 There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.
27 Todos ellos esperan en Ti Para que les des su comida en su tiempo.
27 These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season.
28 Les das, ellos recogen. Abres tu mano, Y se sacian con lo bueno.
28 You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.
29 Ocultas tu rostro Y ellos se desmayan. Les retiras su aliento, Y ellos expiran y vuelven a su polvo.

30 Envías tu aliento, Son creados, Y renuevas la superficie de la tierra.
30 You send out your Spirit and they are created. You renew the face of the ground.
31 ¡Sea la gloria de Yavé para siempre! ¡Que se alegre Yavé en sus obras!
31 Let Yahweh’s glory endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.
32 Él mira a la tierra, Y ella tiembla, Él toca las montañas, Y ellas humean.

33 A Yavé cantaré en mi vida, Mientras tenga vida cantaré salmos a mi ʼElohim.

34 Sea agradable a Él mi meditación. Yo me regocijaré en Yavé.
34 Let my meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.
35 Sean exterminados de la tierra los pecadores Y los perversos dejen de ser. ¡Bendice, alma mía, a Yavé! ¡Alaben a YA!
35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!

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).
