RV Revised Version with Apocrypha
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 A Prayer Of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, and answer me; for I am poor and needy.
1 Oración de David. INCLINA, oh Jehová, tu oído, y óyeme; porque estoy afligido y menesteroso.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am godly: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
2 Guarda mi alma, porque soy pío: salva tú, oh Dios mío, á tu siervo que en ti, confía.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I cry all the day long.
3 Ten misericordia de mí, oh Jehová: porque á ti clamo todo el día.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
4 Alegra el alma de tu siervo: porque á ti, oh Señor, levanto mi alma.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
5 Porque tú, Señor, eres bueno y perdonador, y grande en misericordia para con todos los que te invocan.
6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and hearken unto the voice of my supplications.
6 Escucha, oh Jehová, mi oración, y está atento á la voz de mis ruegos.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; for thou wilt answer me.
7 En el día de mi angustia te llamaré: porque tú me respondes.
8 There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; neither [are there any works ]like unto thy works.
8 Oh Señor, ninguno hay como tú entre los dioses, [ni obras] que igualen tus obras.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and they shall glorify thy name.
9 Todas las gentes que hiciste vendrán y se humillarán delante de ti, Señor; y glorificarán tu nombre.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
10 Porque tú eres grande, y hacedor de maravillas: tú solo eres Dios.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
11 Enséñame, oh Jehová, tu camino; caminaré yo en tu verdad: consolida mi corazón para que tema tu nombre.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
12 Te alabaré, oh Jehová Dios mío, con todo mi corazón; y glorificaré tu nombre para siempre.
13 For great is thy mercy toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest pit.
13 Porque tu misericordia es grande para conmigo; y has librado mi alma del hoyo profundo.
14 O God, the proud are risen up against me, and the congregation of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee before them.
14 Oh Dios, soberbios se levantaron contra mí, y conspiración de fuertes ha buscado mi alma, y no te pusieron delante de sí.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
15 Mas tú, Señor, Dios misericordioso y clemente, lento para la ira, y grande en misericordia y verdad;
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
16 Mírame, y ten misericordia de mí: da tu fortaleza á tu siervo, y guarda al hijo de tu sierva.
17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me,
17 Haz conmigo señal para bien, y véanla los que me aborrecen, y sean avergonzados; porque tú, Jehová, me ayudaste, y me consolaste.

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 LXXXV)

    Its title is, "A Psalm for the end, to the sons of Core." Let us understand no other end than that of which the Apostle speaks: for, "Christ is the end of the law." Therefore when at the head of the title of the Psalm he placed the words, "for the end," he directed our heart to Christ.

  2. Quotes verse 86:15 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book I, Chapters XIV–XVIII)

  3. Quotes verse 86:8 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXVII)

    … so too, the Old Testament uses in the same way to correct the souls of the erring, by putting together in a way of comparison things that cannot be compared; as when it saith, "Among the gods there is none like unto Thee, O Lord:" and again, "There is no god like our God." Now some affirm, that Christ said …

  4. Quotes verse 86:4 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon II)

    … I may say of it, think ye that in this "body which presseth down the soul," I shall be able to say (in order that I may speak to you something worthy of the subject), "O Lord, I have lifted up my soul unto Thee." May He assist me, may He lift it up with me.
