PDT God's Word for You (Latin American Textual Bible)
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 No a nosotros, oh Yavé, No a nosotros, Sino a tu Nombre da gloria, Por tu misericordia y por tu verdad.
1 NO á nosotros, oh Jehová, no á nosotros, sino á tu nombre da gloria; por tu misericordia, por tu verdad.
1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
2 ¿Por qué deben decir los gentiles: Dónde está su ʼElohim?
2 Por qué dirán las gentes: ¿Dónde está ahora su Dios?
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”
3 Nuestro ʼElohim está en el cielo. Hizo todo lo que quiso.
3 Y nuestro Dios está en los cielos: todo lo que quiso ha hecho.
3 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
4 Los ídolos de ellos son de plata y oro, Obra de manos de hombres.
4 Sus ídolos son plata y oro, obra de manos de hombres.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
5 Tienen bocas, pero no hablan. Tienen ojos, pero no ven.
5 Tienen boca, mas no hablarán; tienen ojos, mas no verán;
5 They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.
6 Tienen orejas, pero no oyen. Tienen fosas nasales, pero no perciben olor.
6 Orejas tienen, mas no oirán; tienen narices, mas no olerán;
6 They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.
7 Tienen manos, pero no palpan. Tienen pies, pero no andan. No hablan con su garganta.
7 Manos tienen, mas no palparán; tienen pies, mas no andarán; no hablarán con su garganta.
7 They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
8 Los que los hacen Y todos los que confían en ellos Son semejantes a ellos.
8 Como ellos son los que los hacen; cualquiera que en ellos confía.
8 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
9 ¡Oh Israel, confía en Yavé! Él es tu Ayuda y Escudo.
9 Oh Israel, confía en Jehová: él es su ayuda y su escudo.
9 Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
10 ¡Oh casa de Aarón, confía en Yavé! Él es tu Ayuda y tu Escudo.
10 Casa de Aarón, confiad en Jehová: él es su ayuda y su escudo.
10 House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
11 Los que temen a Yavé, Confíen en Yavé. Él es su Ayuda y su Escudo.
11 Los que teméis á Jehová, confiad en Jehová: él es su ayuda y su escudo.
11 You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
12 Yavé se acordó de nosotros, Él nos bendecirá. Bendecirá a la casa de Israel, Bendecirá a la casa de Aarón.
12 Jehová se acordó de nosotros: nos bendecirá: bendecirá á la casa de Israel; bendecirá á la casa de Aarón.
12 Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 Bendecirá a los que temen a Yavé, A los pequeños y a los grandes.
13 Bendecirá á los que temen á Jehová; á chicos y á grandes.
13 He will bless those who fear Yahweh, both small and great.
14 Yavé aumentará bendición Sobre ustedes y sobre sus hijos.
14 Acrecentará Jehová [bendición] sobre vosotros; sobre vosotros y sobre vuestros hijos.
14 May Yahweh increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Benditos sean ustedes por Yavé, Quien hizo el cielo y la tierra.
15 Benditos vosotros de Jehová, que hizo los cielos y la tierra.
15 Blessed are you by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
16 El cielo es el cielo de Yavé, Pero Él dio la tierra a los hijos de [los] hombres.
16 Los cielos son los cielos de Jehová: y ha dado la tierra á los hijos de los hombres.
16 The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.
17 No alaban los muertos a YA, Ni cualquiera que baja al silencio.
17 No alabarán los muertos á JAH, ni cuantos descienden al silencio;
17 The dead don’t praise Yah, nor any who go down into silence,
18 Pero nosotros bendecimos a YA desde ahora y para siempre. ¡Aleluya!
18 Mas nosotros bendeciremos á JAH, desde ahora para siempre. Aleluya.
18 but we will bless Yah, from this time forward and forever more. 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).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CXIII)

    When ye hear sung in the Psalms, "Praise the Lord, ye children" (ver. 1); imagine not that that exhortation pertaineth not unto you, because having already passed the youth of the body, ye are either blooming in the prime of manhood, or growing gray with the honours of old age: for unto all of you the Apostle saith, "Brethren, be …

    But where is that heaven of heavens, O Lord, of which we hear in the words of the Psalm, The heaven of heavens are the Lord's, but the earth hath He given to the children of men? Where is the heaven, which we behold not, in comparison of which all this, which we behold, is earth?

    … not the leper commended, who showed forth things greater than these?" For he did not so much as say, "speak the word," but what was far more, "be willing only," which is what the prophet saith concerning the Father, "He hath done whatsoever He pleased." But he also was commended.
