ULB Unlocked Literal Bible
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 A song, a psalm of David. My heart is fixed, God; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises also with my honored heart.
1 Canción: Salmo de David. MI corazón está dispuesto, oh Dios; cantaré y salmearé todavía en mi gloria.
2 Wake up, lute and harp; I will wake up the dawn.
2 Despiértate, salterio y arpa: despertaré al alba.
3 I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.
3 Te alabaré, oh Jehová, entre los pueblos; á ti cantaré salmos entre las naciones.
4 For your covenant faithfulness is great above the heavens; and your trustworthiness reaches to the skies.
4 Porque grande más que los cielos es tu misericordia, y hasta los cielos tu verdad.
5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens, and may your glory be exalted over all the earth.
5 Ensálzate, oh Dios, sobre los cielos; y sobre toda la tierra tu gloria.
6 So that those you love may be rescued, rescue us with your right hand and answer me.
6 Para que sean librados tus amados, salva con tu diestra y respóndeme.
7 God has spoken in his holiness; “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem and apportion out the Valley of Succoth.
7 Dios habló por su santuario: alegraréme, repartiré á Sichêm, y mediré el valle de Succoth.
8 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.
8 Mío es Galaad, mío es Manasés; y Ephraim es la fortaleza de mi cabeza; Judá es mi legislador;
9 Moab is my washbasin; over Edom I will throw my shoe; I will shout in triumph because of Philistia.
9 Moab, la vasija de mi lavatorio: sobre Edom echaré mi calzado; regocijaréme sobre Palestina.
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?”
10 ¿Quién me guiará á la ciudad fortalecida? ¿quién me guiará hasta Idumea?
11 God, have you not rejected us? You do not go into battle with our army.
11 Ciertamente tú, oh Dios, que nos habías desechado; y no salías, oh Dios, con nuestros ejércitos.
12 Give us help against the enemy, for man's help is futile.
12 Danos socorro en la angustia: porque mentirosa es la salud del hombre.
13 We will triumph with God's help; he will trample down our enemies.
13 En Dios haremos proezas: y él hollará nuestros enemigos.

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).

  3. Quotes verse 108:5 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapter XVI — 13-15)

    His true glory, therefore, in the Catholic Church is celebrated in these words by the prophet: "Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and Thy glory above all the earth." Accordingly, that after His exaltation the Holy Spirit was to come, and to glorify Him, the sacred psalm, and the Only-begotten Himself, promised as an event of the future, …
