ULB Unlocked Literal Bible
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 A song of ascents. “Often since my youth they have attacked me,” let Israel say.
1 Cántico gradual. MUCHO me han angustiado desde mi juventud, puede decir ahora Israel;
2 “Often since my youth they have attacked me, yet they have not defeated me.
2 Mucho me han angustiado desde mi juventud; mas no prevalecieron contra mí.
3 The plowers plowed on my back; they made their furrows long.
3 Sobre mis espaldas araron los aradores: hicieron largos surcos.
4 Yahweh is righteous; he has cut the ropes of the wicked.”
4 Jehová es justo; cortó las coyundas de los impíos.
5 May they all be put to shame and turned back, those who hate Zion.
5 Serán avergonzados y vueltos atrás todos los que aborrecen á Sión.
6 May they be like the grass on the housetops that withers before it grows up,
6 Serán como la hierba de los tejados, que se seca antes que crezca:
7 that cannot fill the reaper's hand or the chest of the one who binds bundles of grain together.
7 De la cual no hinchió segador su mano, ni sus brazos el que hace gavillas.
8 May those who pass by not say, “May the blessing of Yahweh be on you; we bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
8 Ni dijeron los que pasaban: Bendición de Jehová sea sobre vosotros; os bendecimos en el nombre de Jehová.

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?
