ULB Unlocked Literal Bible
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 For the chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of David. A michtam. Do you rulers speak righteousness? Do you judge uprightly, you people?
1 Al Músico principal: sobre No destruyas: Michtam de David. OH congregación, ¿pronunciáis en verdad justicia? ¿juzgáis rectamente, hijos de los hombres?
2 No, you commit wickedness in your heart; you distribute violence throughout the land with your hands.
2 Antes con el corazón obráis iniquidades: hacéis pesar la violencia de vuestras manos en la tierra.
3 The wicked go astray even when they are in the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies.
3 Enajenáronse los impíos desde la matriz; descarriáronse desde el vientre, hablando mentira.
4 Their poison is like a snake's poison; they are like a deaf adder that stops up its ears,
4 Veneno tienen semejante al veneno de la serpiente: [son] como áspide sordo que cierra su oído;
5 that pays no attention to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful they are.
5 Que no oye la voz de los que encantan, por más hábil que el encantador sea.
6 Break their teeth in their mouths, God; break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.
6 Oh Dios, quiebra sus dientes en sus bocas: quiebra, oh Jehová, las muelas de los leoncillos.
7 Let them melt away as water that runs off; when they shoot their arrows, let them be as though they had no points.
7 Córranse como aguas que se van de suyo: en entesando sus saetas, luego sean hechas pedazos.
8 Let them be like a snail that melts and passes away, like the untimely-born child of a woman that never sees the sunlight.
8 Pasen ellos como el caracol que se deslíe: [como] el abortivo de mujer, no vean el sol.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorn's burning heat, he will take them away with a whirlwind, the green thorns and the burning thorns alike.
9 Antes que vuestras ollas sientan las espinas, así vivos, así airados, los arrebatará él con tempestad.
10 The righteous will rejoice when he sees God's vengeance; he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
10 Alegraráse el justo cuando viere la venganza: sus pies lavará en la sangre del impío.
11 so that men will say, “Truly, there is a reward for the righteous person; truly there is a God who judges the earth.”
11 Entonces dirá el hombre: Ciertamente hay fruto para el justo; ciertamente hay Dios que juzga en la tierra.

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 LVII)

    Because then this Psalm is singing of the Passion of the Lord, see what is the title that it hath: "at the end." The end is Christ. Why hath He been called end? Not as one that consumeth, but one that consummateth....

  2. Quotes verse 58:3 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book III, Chapter X)

    As also David says, "The alienated are sinners from the womb: they go astray as soon as they are born." And it was on account of this that he, turning them to their Lord, prepared, in the spirit and power of Elias, a perfect people for the Lord.
