PDT God's Word for You (Latin American Textual Bible)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 ¡Bendito sea Yavé, mi Roca, Que adiestra mis manos para la guerra Y mis dedos para la batalla!
1 By David. Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, who trains my hands to war, and my fingers to battle—
2 Mi Misericordia y mi Fortaleza, Mi alta Torre y mi Libertador, Mi Escudo, en Quien me refugio, Quien sujeta mi pueblo a mí.
2 my loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me.
3 Oh Yavé, ¿qué es el hombre Para que Tú tengas conocimiento de él, O el hijo del hombre para que pienses en él?
3 Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?
4 El hombre es como un suspiro. Sus días son como una sombra que pasa.
4 Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.
5 Oh Yavé, inclina tus cielos y desciende. Toca las montañas para que humeen.
5 Part your heavens, Yahweh, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
6 Despacha relámpagos y dispérsalos. Envía tus flechas y confúndelos.
6 Throw out lightning, and scatter them. Send out your arrows, and rout them.
7 Extiende tu mano desde lo alto. Rescátame y líbrame de las aguas caudalosas, De la mano de extranjeros,
7 Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners,
8 Cuyas bocas hablan engaño Y cuya mano derecha es falsedad.
8 whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 Oh ʼElohim, a Ti cantaré canto nuevo, Con salterio de diez cuerdas te cantaré salmos.
9 I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.
10 Quien da salvación a los reyes, Y rescatas a tu esclavo David de la espada perversa.
10 You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.
11 Rescátame y líbrame de la mano de extranjeros, Cuyas bocas hablan engaño, Cuya boca y mano derecha son falsedad.
11 Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
12 Sean nuestros hijos en su juventud como plantas crecidas, Y nuestras hijas como columnas de esquinas labradas.
12 Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants, our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.
13 Estén llenos nuestros graneros Y provean toda clase de producto, Nuestros rebaños se reproduzcan por miles, Y diez miles en nuestros campos.
13 Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our sheep produce thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
14 Nuestros bueyes estén fuertes para el trabajo, Sin ruptura y sin pérdida, Y no haya clamor de alarma en nuestras plazas.
14 Our oxen will pull heavy loads. There is no breaking in, and no going away, and no outcry in our streets.
15 Inmensamente feliz es el pueblo a quien esto le sucede. Inmensamente feliz es el pueblo cuyo ʼElohim es Yavé.
15 Happy are the people who are in such a situation. Happy are the people whose God is Yahweh.

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 CXLIII)

    The title of the Psalm is, "To David himself, when his son was pursuing him." We know from the Books of Kings that this happened:...but we must recognise here another David, truly "strong in hand," which is the explanation of David, even our Lord Jesus Christ. For all those events of past time were figures of things to come.

    And so do men live in opposition to the three and seven, that psaltery "of ten strings," Thy ten commandments, O God most high and most sweet.
