Notes on this text (1)
- Greek and Latin Bibles number most Psalms one lower than Hebrew and English Bibles.
1 He who lives in the shelter of the Most High will stay in the shadow of the Almighty.
1 EL que habita al abrigo del Altísimo, morará bajo la sombra del Omnipotente.
2 I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
2 Diré yo á Jehová: Esperanza mía, y castillo mío; mi Dios, en él confiaré.
3 For he will rescue you from the snare of the hunter and from the deadly plague.
3 Y él te librará del lazo del cazador: de la peste destruidora.
4 He will cover you with his wings, and under his wings you will find refuge. His trustworthiness is a shield and protection.
4 Con sus plumas te cubrirá, y debajo de sus alas estarás seguro: escudo y adarga es su verdad.
5 You will not be afraid of terror in the night, or of the arrow that flies by day,
5 No tendrás temor de espanto nocturno, ni de saeta que vuele de día;
6 or of the plague that roams around in the darkness, or of the disease that comes at noontime.
6 Ni de pestilencia que ande en oscuridad, ni de mortandad que en medio del día destruya.
7 A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not reach you.
7 Caerán á tu lado mil, y diez mil á tu diestra: [mas] á ti no llegará.
8 You will only observe and see the punishment of the wicked.
8 Ciertamente con tus ojos mirarás, y verás la recompensa de los impíos.
9 For Yahweh is my refuge! Make the Most High your refuge also.
9 Porque tú has puesto á Jehová, [que es] mi esperanza, al Altísimo por tu habitación,
10 No evil will overtake you; no affliction will come near your home.
10 No te sobrevendrá mal, ni plaga tocará tu morada.
11 For he will direct his angels to protect you, to guard you in all your ways.
11 Pues que á sus ángeles mandará acerca de ti, que te guarden en todos tus caminos.
12 They will lift you up with their hand so that you will not hit your foot on a stone.
12 En las manos te llevarán, porque tu pie no tropiece en piedra.
13 You will crush lions and adders under your feet; you will trample on young lions and serpents.
13 Sobre el león y el basilisco pisarás; hollarás al cachorro del león y al dragón.
14 Because he is devoted to me, I will rescue him. I will protect him because he is loyal to me.
14 Por cuanto en mí ha puesto su voluntad, yo también lo libraré: pondrélo en alto, por cuanto ha conocido mi nombre.
15 When he calls to me, I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble; I will give him victory and will honor him.
15 Me invocará, y yo le responderé: con él estaré yo en la angustia: lo libraré, y le glorificaré.
16 I will satisfy him with long life and show him my salvation.
16 Saciarélo de larga vida, y mostraréle mi salud.

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).
This Psalm is entitled, "The prayer of Moses the man of God," through whom, His man, God gave the law to His people, through whom He freed them from the house of slavery, and led them forty years through the wilderness. Moses was therefore the Minister of the Old, and the Prophet of the New Testament.

… killing, and impeding the steps of man, until the seed did come appointed to tread down his head,--which was born of Mary, of whom the prophet speaks: "Thou shalt tread upon the asp and the basilisk; thou shalt trample down the lion and the dragon;" --indicating that sin, which was set up and spread out against man, and which rendered …
"Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk and thou shalt trample under feet the lion and the dragon." With faith thou hast the power to walk upon serpents and scorpions.
