1 ¡Odio mi vida! Permíteme hablar libremente de mis quejas; no puedo guardarme mi amargura.
1 “My soul is weary of my life. I will give free course to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 Le diré a Dios: “No te limites a condenarme; dime qué tienes contra mí.
2 I will tell God, ‘Do not condemn me. Show me why you contend with me.
3 ¿Te gusta acusarme? ¿Por qué me rechazas a mí, a quien has creado con tus propias manos, y sin embargo te alegras de las maquinaciones de los malvados?
3 Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile on the counsel of the wicked?
4 ¿Tienes ojos humanos? ¿Ves como los seres humanos?
4 Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?
5 ¿Es tu vida tan corta como la de los mortales? ¿Son tus años tan breves como los de la humanidad,
5 Are your days as the days of mortals, or your years as man’s years,
6 para que tengas que examinar mis males e investigar mis pecados?
6 that you inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
7 Aunque sabes que no soy culpable, nadie puede salvarme de ti.
7 Although you know that I am not wicked, there is no one who can deliver out of your hand.
8 Me hiciste y me diste forma con tus propias manos, y sin embargo me destruyes.
8 “‘Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether, yet you destroy me.
9 Recuerda que me diste forma como a un pedazo de arcilla; ¿vas a volver a convertirme en polvo?
9 Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?
10 Me derramaste como la leche, me cuajaste como el queso.
10 Haven’t you poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Me vestiste de piel y carne; tejiste mi cuerpo con huesos y músculos.
11 You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
12 Me diste vida y me mostraste tu bondad; me has cuidado mucho.
12 You have granted me life and loving kindness. Your visitation has preserved my spirit.
13 “Pero guardaste estas cosas en tu corazón. Sé que tu propósito era
13 Yet you hid these things in your heart. I know that this is with you:
14 vigilarme, y si pecaba, entonces no perdonarías mis males.
14 if I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.
15 Si soy culpable, estoy en problemas; si soy inocente, no puedo mantener la cabeza en alto porque estoy totalmente deshonrado al ver mis sufrimientos.
15 If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still will not lift up my head, being filled with disgrace, and conscious of my affliction.
16 Si mantengo la cabeza alta me persigues como un león, mostrando lo poderoso que eres para herirme.
16 If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to me.
17 Repites tus argumentos contra mí, derramas más y más tu ira contra mí, envías nuevos ejércitos contra mí.
17 You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation on me. Changes and warfare are with me.
18 “¿Por qué me dejaste nacer? Ojalá hubiera muerto y nadie me hubiera visto nunca.
18 “‘Why, then, have you brought me out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.
19 Hubiera sido mejor que nunca hubiera existido, llevado directamente del vientre a la tumba.
19 I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Sólo me quedan unos días, así que ¿por qué no me dejas en paz para que pueda tener un poco de paz
20 Aren’t my days few? Stop! Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
21 antes de ir al sitio de donde nunca volveré, la tierra de las tinieblas y la sombra de la muerte?
21 before I go where I will not return from, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
22 La tierra de la oscuridad total donde se encuentra la sombra de la muerte, un lugar de caos donde la luz misma es oscuridad”.
22 the land dark as midnight, of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is as midnight.’”

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).
Who knitted us with sinews and bones, and clothed us with skin and flesh, and, as soon as the child was born, brought streams of milk out of the breasts?
