Notes on this text (1)
- Greek and Latin Bibles number most Psalms one lower than Hebrew and English Bibles.
1 A psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those with a pure heart.
1 Salmo de Asaph. CIERTAMENTE bueno es Dios á Israel, á los limpios de corazón.
2 But as for me, my feet almost slipped; my feet almost slipped out from under me
2 Mas yo, casi se deslizaron mis pies; por poco resbalaron mis pasos.
3 because I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
3 Porque tuve envidia de los insensatos, viendo la prosperidad de los impíos.
4 For they have no pain until their death, but they are strong and well fed.
4 Porque no hay ataduras para su muerte; antes su fortaleza está entera.
5 They are free from the burdens of other men; they are not afflicted like other men.
5 No están ellos en el trabajo humano; ni son azotados con [los otros] hombres.
6 Pride adorns them like a necklace around their neck; violence clothes them like a robe.
6 Por tanto soberbia los corona: cúbrense de vestido de violencia.
7 Out of such blindness comes sin; evil thoughts pass through their hearts.
7 Sus ojos están salidos de gruesos: logran con creces los antojos del corazón.
8 They mock and speak wickedly; in their arrogance they threaten oppression.
8 Soltáronse, y hablan con maldad de [hacer] violencia; hablan con altanería.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongues march through the earth.
9 Ponen en el cielo su boca, y su lengua pasea la tierra.
10 Therefore his people turn to them and abundant waters are drained out.
10 Por eso su pueblo vuelve aquí, y aguas de lleno les son exprimidas.
11 They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge with the Most High?”
11 Y dicen: ¿Cómo sabe Dios? ¿y hay conocimiento en lo alto?
12 Take notice: these people are wicked; they are always carefree, becoming richer and richer.
12 He aquí estos impíos, sin ser turbados del mundo, alcanzaron riquezas.
13 Surely it is in vain that I have guarded my heart and washed my hands in innocence.
13 Verdaderamente en vano he limpiado mi corazón, y lavado mis manos en inocencia;
14 For all the day long I have been afflicted and disciplined every morning.
14 Pues he sido azotado todo el día, [y empezaba] mi castigo por las mañanas.
15 If I had said, “I will say these things,” then I would have betrayed this generation of your children.
15 Si dijera yo, Discurriré de esa suerte; he aquí habría negado la nación de tus hijos:
16 Though I tried to understand these things, it was too difficult for me.
16 Pensaré pues para saber esto: es á mis ojos [duro] trabajo,
17 Then I went into God's sanctuary and came to understand their fate.
17 Hasta que venido al santuario de Dios, entenderé la postrimería de ellos.
18 Surely you put them in slippery places; you bring them down to ruin.
18 Ciertamente los has puesto en deslizaderos; en asolamientos los harás caer.
19 How they become a wilderness in a moment! They come to an end and are finished in awful terrors.
19 ¡Cómo han sido asolados! ¡cuán en un punto! Acabáronse, fenecieron con turbaciones.
20 They are like a dream after one wakes up; Lord, when you arise, you will think nothing of those dreams.
20 Como sueño del que despierta, así, Señor, cuando despertares, menospreciarás sus apariencias.
21 For my heart was grieved, and I was deeply wounded.
21 Desazonóse á la verdad mi corazón, y en mis riñones sentía punzadas.
22 I was ignorant and lacked insight; I was like a senseless animal before you.
22 Mas yo era ignorante, y no entendía: era como una bestia acerca de ti.
23 Yet I am always with you; you hold my right hand.
23 Con todo, yo siempre estuve contigo: trabaste de mi mano derecha.
24 You will guide me with your advice and afterward receive me to glory.
24 Hasme guiado según tu consejo, y después me recibirás en gloria.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? There is no one on earth that I desire but you.
25 ¿A quién tengo yo en los cielos? Y fuera de ti nada deseo en la tierra.
26 My flesh and my heart grow weak, but God is the strength of my heart forever.
26 Mi carne y mi corazón desfallecen: [mas] la roca de mi corazón y mi porción es Dios para siempre.
27 Those who are far from you will perish; you will destroy all those who are unfaithful to you.
27 Porque he aquí, los que se alejan de ti perecerán: tú cortarás á todo aquel que fornicando, de ti [se aparta].
28 But as for me, all I need to do is to approach God. I have made the Lord Yahweh my refuge. I will declare all your deeds.
28 Y en cuanto á mí, el acercarme á Dios es el bien: he puesto en el Señor Jehová mi esperanza, para contar todas tus obras.

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).
indeed this Psalm's title is fore-noted: but things are spoken of therein which could not apply to that Salomon king of Israel after the flesh, according to those things which holy Scripture speaketh concerning him: but they can most pertinently apply to the Lord Christ.

… and since works of mercy have no other object than the relief of distress or the conferring of happiness, and since there is no happiness apart from that good of which it is said, "It is good for me to be very near to God," it follows that the whole redeemed city, that is to say, the congregation or community …

… love of God is shed abroad in their hearts by the Holy Ghost, which is given unto them." And that not only of men, but primarily and principally of angels it is true, as it is written, "It is good to draw near to God." And those who have this good in common, have, both with Him to whom they …
