PDT God's Word for You (Latin American Textual Bible)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Muchas veces me persiguieron desde mi juventud. Que [lo] diga ahora Israel:
1 A Song of Ascents. Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:
2 Muchas veces me persiguieron desde mi juventud, Pero no prevalecieron contra mí.
2 many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 Los aradores araron sobre mi espalda. Hicieron largos surcos.
3 The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.
4 Yavé es justo, Cortó las cuerdas de los perversos.
4 Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
5 Sean avergonzados y vueltos atrás Todos los que aborrecen a Sion.
5 Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
6 Sean como [la] hierba de las azoteas Que se marchita antes de crecer,
6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
7 Con la cual el cosechero no llena su mano, Ni el regazo el que ata manojos.
7 with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
8 Ni le dicen los que pasan: La bendición de Yavé sea sobre ustedes, Los bendecimos en el Nombre de Yavé.
8 Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in Yahweh’s name.”

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 CXXVIII)

    Felix the Martyr, truly Felix, i.e. "Happy" both in his name and his crown, whose birthday this is, despised the world. Was he, because he feared the Lord, thence happy, thence blessed, because his wife was as a fruitful vine upon the earth, and his children stood around his table?
