1 Un salmo de David. Doy gracias a Dios con todo mi ser; cantaré tus alabanzas ante los seres celestiales.
1 By David. I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.
2 Me postraré ante tu santo Templo, estoy agradecido con tu santo nombre, por tu amor y fidelidad, y porque tus promesas son más grandes que lo que la gente espera.
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.
3 De día clamé a ti por ayuda, y tú me respondiste. Me animaste y me hiciste fuerte.
3 In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
4 Todos los reyes de la tierra de alabarán, Señor, porque han oído tus palabras.
4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh, for they have heard the words of your mouth.
5 Cantarán de lo que el Señor ha hecho y de la gloria del Señor.
5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh, for Yahweh’s glory is great!
6 Aunque el Señor esté en lo más alto, presta atención a los humildes; pero reconoce al orgulloso desde muy lejos.
6 For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but he knows the proud from afar.
7 Aunque camine entre muchos problemas, tú me proteges. Llegas a donde mí y me defiendes de la ira de los que me odian, tus manos fuertes me salvan.
7 Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.
8 ¡El Señor me reivindica! Señor, tu gran amor perdura para siempre! ¡No abandones la obra de tus manos!

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 CXXXVII)

    But to-day we have sung, "By the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept, when we remembered Sion" (ver. 1).... 2. Observe "the waters of Babylon." "The waters of Babylon" are all things which here are loved, and pass away.
