WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Un Salmo de David, pidiendo a Dios que se acuerde de él. ¡Señor, por favor no me condenes, por causa de tu enojo conmigo! ¡No me castigues con tu furia!
1 A Psalm by David, for a memorial. Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
2 Tus flechas me han atravesado, tus manos han caído sobre mí.
2 For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.
3 Por tu enojo hacia mí, ni una sola parte de mi cuerpo está sana. Estoy completamente enfermo por mis pecados.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
4 Me estoy ahogando en culpa. La carga es muy pesada de llevar.
4 For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
5 Mis heridas están infectadas, están comenzando a oler mal, y por culpa de mi terquedad.
5 My wounds are loathsome and corrupt because of my foolishness.
6 Estoy encorvado, retorcido por el dolor. Camino el día entero llorando y lamentándome.
6 I am in pain and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.
7 Estoy ardiendo por dentro de fiebre. Ninguna parte de mi cuerpo está sana.
7 For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.
8 Estoy muy cansado, totalmente deshecho. Siento mi corazón como ruge de angustia.
8 I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
9 Señor, sabes lo que quiero desesperadamente, escuchas cada respiración que tomo.
9 Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
10 Mi corazón se está acelerando, dejándome sin fuerza. Mi vista está decayendo.
10 My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.
11 Mis amados y amigos no se me acercan porque tienen miedo de contagiarse. Incluso mi familia se ha distanciado.
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.
12 Aquellos que intentan matarme me ponen trampas. Los que intentan herirme me amenazan, trabajando en sus planes engañosos todo el día.
12 They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.
13 Yo actúo como si fuera sordo con sus palabras, e intento parecer tonto para no tener que hablar.
13 But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.
14 Como un hombre que no puede oír, y que no responde, ¡Ese soy yo!
14 Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 ¡Porque espero en ti, Señor! Tú me responderás, Dios mío.
15 For I hope in you, Yahweh. You will answer, Lord my God.
16 Señor, te pido que por favor mis enemigos no se jacten en frente mí, no dejes que se alegren cuando yo tropiece.
16 For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”
17 Porque estoy por colapsar, el dolor nunca se detiene.
17 For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
18 Confieso mis pecados. Lamento horriblemente todo lo que he hecho.
18 For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.
19 Tengo enemigos muy poderosos, son bastante activos, y me odian sin razón.
19 But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20 Me pagan el bien con mal. Me acusan por el bien que he tratado de hacer.
20 They who give evil for good are also adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.
21 Señor, no me abandones, no te alejes de mí.
21 Don’t forsake me, Yahweh. My God, don’t be far from me.
22 Apresúrate, ven y ayúdame, ¡Oh, Señor, mi salvador!
22 Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.

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 XXXVII)

    With terror do they hear of the coming of the last day, who will not be secure by living well: and who fain would live ill, long.

  2. Quotes verse 38:14 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XIII)

    The Psalmist says, And I became as a man that heareth not; and in whose mouth are no reproofs; and again, But I was as a deaf man and heard not; and as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
