ULB Unlocked Literal Bible
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Hear my voice, God, listen to my complaint; preserve my life from fear of my enemies.
1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. ESCUCHA, oh Dios, mi voz en mi oración: guarda mi vida del miedo del enemigo.
2 Hide me from the secret plotting of evildoers, from the commotion of the doers of iniquity.
2 Escóndeme del secreto consejo de los malignos; de la conspiración de los que obran iniquidad:
3 They have sharpened their tongues like swords; they have aimed their arrows, bitter words,
3 Que amolaron su lengua como cuchillo, [y] armaron [por] su saeta palabra amarga;
4 so that they may shoot from secret places at someone who is innocent; suddenly they shoot at him and fear nothing.
4 Para asaetear á escondidas al íntegro: de improviso lo asaetean, y no temen.
5 They encourage themselves in an evil plan; they consult privately together in order to set traps; they say, “Who will see us?”
5 Obstinados en su inicuo designio, tratan de esconder los lazos, [y] dicen: ¿Quién los ha de ver?
6 They invent sinful plans; “We have finished,” they say, “a careful plan.” The inner thoughts and hearts of man are deep.
6 Inquieren iniquidades, hacen una investigación exacta; y el íntimo pensamiento de cada uno [de ellos], así como el corazón, [es] profundo.
7 But God will shoot them; suddenly they will be wounded with his arrows.
7 Mas Dios los herirá con saeta; de repente serán sus plagas.
8 They will be made to stumble, since their own tongues are against them; all who see them will wag their heads.
8 Y harán caer sobre sí sus mismas lenguas: se espantarán todos los que los vieren.
9 All people will fear and will declare God's deeds. They will wisely think about what he has done.
9 Y temerán todos los hombres, y anunciarán la obra de Dios, y entenderán su hecho.
10 The righteous will be glad about Yahweh and will take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will take pride in him.
10 Alegraráse el justo en Jehová, y confiaráse en él; y se gloriarán todos los rectos de corazón.

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 LXIII)

    This psalm hath the title, "For David himself, when he was in the desert of Idumæa." By the name of Idumæa is understood this world. For Idumæa was a certain nation of men going astray, where idols were worshipped. In no good sense is put this Idumæa.

  2. Quotes verse 64:10 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book II, Chapters IV–VI)

    For these meaner things have their delights, but not like unto my God, who hath created all things; for in Him doth the righteous delight, and He is the sweetness of the upright in heart.
