RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 «Ψαλμός του Δαβίδ.» Μη αγανάκτει διά τους πονηρευομένους, μηδέ ζήλευε τους εργάτας της ανομίας.
1 Salmo de David. NO te impacientes á causa de los malignos, ni tengas envidia de los que hacen iniquidad.
1 By David. Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
2 Διότι ως χόρτος ταχέως θέλουσι κοπή, και ως χλωρά βοτάνη θέλουσι καταμαρανθή.
2 Porque como hierba serán presto cortados, y decaerán como verdor de renuevo.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb.
3 Έλπιζε επί Κύριον και πράττε το αγαθόν· κατοίκει την γην και νέμου την αλήθειαν·
3 Espera en Jehová, y haz bien; vivirás en la tierra, y en verdad serás alimentado.
3 Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
4 και ευφραίνου εν Κυρίω, και θέλει σοι δώσει τα ζητήματα της καρδίας σου.
4 Pon asimismo tu delicia en Jehová, y él te dará las peticiones de tu corazón.
4 Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Ανάθες εις τον Κύριον την οδόν σου και έλπιζε επ' αυτόν, και αυτός θέλει ενεργήσει·
5 Encomienda á Jehová tu camino, y espera en él; y él hará.
5 Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:
6 και θέλει εξάξει ως φως την δικαιοσύνην σου και την κρίσιν σου ως μεσημβρίαν.
6 Y exhibirá tu justicia como la luz, y tus derechos como el medio día.
6 he will make your righteousness shine out like light, and your justice as the noon day sun.
7 Αναπαύου επί τον Κύριον και πρόσμενε αυτόν· μη αγανάκτει διά τον κατευοδούμενον εν τη οδώ αυτού, διά άνθρωπον πράττοντα παρανομίας.
7 Calla á Jehová, y espera en él: no te alteres con motivo del que prospera en su camino, por el hombre que hace maldades.
7 Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
8 Παύσον από θυμού και άφες την οργήν· μηδόλως αγανάκτει ώστε να πράττης πονηρά.
8 Déjate de la ira, y depón el enojo: no te excites en manera alguna á hacer lo malo.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don’t fret; it leads only to evildoing.
9 Διότι οι πονηρευόμενοι θέλουσιν εξολοθρευθή· οι δε προσμένοντες τον Κύριον, ούτοι θέλουσι κληρονομήσει την γην.
9 Porque los malignos serán talados, mas los que esperan en Jehová, ellos heredarán la tierra.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for Yahweh shall inherit the land.
10 Διότι έτι μικρόν και ο ασεβής δεν θέλει υπάρχει· και θέλεις ζητήσει τον τόπον αυτού, και δεν θέλει ευρεθή·
10 Pues de aquí á poco no será el malo: y contemplarás sobre su lugar, y no parecerá.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there.
11 οι πραείς όμως θέλουσι κληρονομήσει την γήν· και θέλουσι κατατρυφά εν πολλή ειρήνη.
11 Pero los mansos heredarán la tierra, y se recrearán con abundancia de paz.
11 But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 Ο ασεβής μηχανάται κατά του δικαίου, και τρίζει κατ' αυτού τους οδόντας αυτού.
12 Maquina el impío contra el justo, y cruje sobre él sus dientes.
12 The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.
13 Ο Κύριος θέλει γελάσει επ' αυτώ, επειδή βλέπει ότι έρχεται η ημέρα αυτού.
13 El Señor se reirá de él; porque ve que viene su día.
13 The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.
14 Οι ασεβείς εξέσπασαν ρομφαίαν και ενέτειναν το τόξον αυτών, διά να καταβάλωσι τον πτωχόν και τον πένητα, διά να σφάξωσι τους περιπατούντας εν ευθύτητι.
14 Los impíos desenvainaron espada, y entesaron su arco, para derribar al pobre y al menesteroso, para matar á los de recto proceder.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright on the path.
15 Η ρομφαία αυτών θέλει εμβή εις την καρδίαν αυτών, και τα τόξα αυτών θέλουσι συντριφθή.
15 La espada de ellos entrará en su mismo corazón, y su arco será quebrado.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.
16 Κάλλιον το ολίγον του δικαίου παρά ο πλούτος πολλών ασεβών.
16 Mejor es lo poco del justo, que las riquezas de muchos pecadores.
16 Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.
17 Διότι οι βραχίονες των ασεβών θέλουσι συντριφθή· τους δε δικαίους υποστηρίζει ο Κύριος.
17 Porque los brazos de los impíos serán quebrados: mas el que sostiene á los justos es Jehová.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh upholds the righteous.
18 Γινώσκει ο Κύριος τας ημέρας των αμέμπτων· και η κληρονομία αυτών θέλει είσθαι εις τον αιώνα·
18 Conoce Jehová los días de los perfectos: y la heredad de ellos será para siempre.
18 Yahweh knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.
19 δεν θέλουσι καταισχυνθή εν καιρώ πονηρώ· και εν ημέραις πείνης θέλουσι χορτασθή.
19 No serán avergonzados en el mal tiempo; y en los días de hambre serán hartos.
19 They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 Οι δε ασεβείς θέλουσιν εξολοθρευθή· και οι εχθροί του Κυρίου, ως το πάχος των αρνίων, θέλουσιν αναλωθή· εις καπνόν θέλουσι διαλυθή.
20 Mas los impíos perecerán, y los enemigos de Jehová como la grasa de los carneros serán consumidos: se disiparán como humo.
20 But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of Yahweh shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish— vanish like smoke.
21 Δανείζεται ο ασεβής και δεν αποδίδει, ο δε δίκαιος ελεεί και δίδει.
21 El impío toma prestado, y no paga; mas el justo tiene misericordia, y da.
21 The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back, but the righteous give generously.
22 Διότι οι ευλογημένοι αυτού θέλουσι κληρονομήσει την γήν· οι δε κατηραμένοι αυτού θέλουσιν εξολοθρευθή.
22 Porque los benditos de él heredarán la tierra; y los malditos de él serán talados.
22 For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
23 Όταν υπό Κυρίου κατευθύνωνται τα διαβήματα του ανθρώπου, η οδός αυτού είναι αρεστή εις αυτόν.
23 Por Jehová son ordenados los pasos del hombre, y aprueba su camino.
23 A man’s steps are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way.
24 Εάν πέση, δεν θέλει συντριφθή· διότι ο Κύριος υποστηρίζει την χείρα αυτού.
24 Cuando cayere, no quedará postrado; porque Jehová sostiene su mano.
24 Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for Yahweh holds him up with his hand.
25 Νέος ήμην και ήδη εγήρασα, και δεν είδον δίκαιον εγκαταλελειμμένον ουδέ το σπέρμα αυτού ζητούν άρτον.
25 Mozo fuí, y he envejecido, y no he visto justo desamparado, ni su simiente que mendigue pan.
25 I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.
26 Όλην την ημέραν ελεεί και δανείζει, και το σπέρμα αυτού είναι εις ευλογίαν.
26 En todo tiempo tiene misericordia, y presta; y su simiente es para bendición.
26 All day long he deals graciously, and lends. His offspring is blessed.
27 Έκκλινον από του κακού και πράττε το αγαθόν, και θέλεις διαμένει εις τον αιώνα.
27 Apártate del mal, y haz el bien, y vivirás para siempre.
27 Depart from evil, and do good. Live securely forever.
28 Διότι ο Κύριος αγαπά κρίσιν, και δεν εγκαταλείπει τους οσίους αυτού· εις τον αιώνα θέλουσι διαφυλαχθή· το δε σπέρμα των ασεβών θέλει εξολοθρευθή.
28 Porque Jehová ama la rectitud, y no desampara sus santos: para siempre serán guardados; mas la simiente de los impíos será extirpada.
28 For Yahweh loves justice, and doesn’t forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 Οι δίκαιοι θέλουσι κληρονομήσει την γην, και επ' αυτής θέλουσι κατοικεί εις τον αιώνα.
29 Los justos heredarán la tierra, y vivirán para siempre sobre ella.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever.
30 Το στόμα του δικαίου μελετά σοφίαν, και η γλώσσα αυτού λαλεί κρίσιν.
30 La boca del justo hablará sabiduría; y su lengua proferirá juicio.
30 The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. His tongue speaks justice.
31 Ο νόμος του Θεού αυτού είναι εν τη καρδία αυτού· τα διαβήματα αυτού δεν θέλουσιν ολισθήσει.
31 La ley de su Dios está en su corazón; por tanto sus pasos no vacilarán.
31 The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.
32 Κατασκοπεύει ο αμαρτωλός τον δίκαιον και ζητεί να θανατώση αυτόν.
32 Acecha el impío al justo, y procura matarlo.
32 The wicked watch the righteous, and seek to kill him.
33 Ο Κύριος δεν θέλει αφήσει αυτόν εις τας χείρας αυτού, ουδέ θέλει καταδικάσει αυτόν όταν κρίνη αυτόν.
33 Jehová no lo dejará en sus manos, ni lo condenará cuando le juzgaren.
33 Yahweh will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Πρόσμενε τον Κύριον και φύλαττε την οδόν αυτού, και θέλει σε υψώσει διά να κληρονομήσης την γήν· όταν εξολοθρευθώσιν οι ασεβείς, θέλεις ιδεί.
34 Espera en Jehová, y guarda su camino, y él te ensalzará para heredar la tierra: cuando serán talados los pecadores, lo verás.
34 Wait for Yahweh, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
35 Είδον τον ασεβή υπερυψούμενον και εξηπλωμένον ως την χλωράν δάφνην·
35 Vi yo al impío sumamente ensalzado, y que se extendía como un laurel verde.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
36 αλλ' ηφανίσθη· και ιδού, δεν υπήρχε· και εζήτησα αυτόν, και δεν ευρέθη.
36 Empero pasóse, y he aquí no parece; y busquélo, y no fué hallado.
36 But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Παρατήρει τον άκακον και βλέπε τον ευθύν, ότι εις τον ειρηνικόν άνθρωπον θέλει είσθαι εγκατάλειμμα·
37 Considera al íntegro, y mira al justo: que la postrimería de cada uno de ellos es paz.
37 Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.
38 οι δε παραβάται θέλουσιν όλως εξολοθρευθή· των ασεβών το εγκατάλειμμα θέλει αποκοπή.
38 Mas los transgresores fueron todos á una destruídos: la postrimería de los impíos fué talada.
38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 Των δικαίων όμως η σωτηρία είναι παρά Κυρίου· αυτός είναι η δύναμις αυτών εν καιρώ θλίψεως.
39 Pero la salvación de los justos es de Jehová, y él es su fortaleza en el tiempo de angustia.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
40 Και θέλει βοηθήσει αυτούς ο Κύριος, και ελευθερώσει αυτούς· θέλει ελευθερώσει αυτούς από ασεβών και σώσει αυτούς· διότι ήλπισαν επ' αυτόν.
40 Y Jehová los ayudará, y los librará: y libertarálos de los impíos, y los salvará, por cuanto en él esperaron.
40 Yahweh helps them and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.

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 XXXVI)

    "The ungodly hath said in himself that he will sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes" (ver. 1). Not of one man, but of a race of ungodly men he speaketh, who fight against their own selves, by not understanding, that so they may live well; not because they cannot, but because they will not.

  2. Quotes verse 37:23 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book V, Chapters VII–VIII)

    It was Thou, O my God, who didst it, for the steps of a man are ordered by the Lord, and He shall dispose his way. Or how can we procure salvation but from Thy hand, remaking what it hath made?

    And besides, since in the Old Testament the prophet used to say continually, "The meek shall inherit the earth;" He thus weaves into His discourse the words to which they were accustomed, so as not everywhere to speak a strange language.

  5. Quotes verse 37:11 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XXXI)

    … saith, "Great peace have they who love Thy law, and nothing is an offence to them." To this sentiment also agrees the passage which we have chanted in course; "But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace." Because, "great peace have they who love Thy law." For these "meek" ones are they …
