VBL Free Bible Version (Spanish)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Para Jedutún, el director del coro. Un salmo de David. Me digo a mí mismo, “Seré cuidadoso en lo que haga, y no pecaré en lo que diga. Mantendré mi boca callada cuando los malvados me rodeen”.
1 For the Chief Musician. For Jeduthun. A Psalm by David. I said, “I will watch my ways, so that I don’t sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me.”
2 Estaba completamente en silencio, no dije incluso nada bueno. Pero el dolor por dentro solo empeoraba.
2 I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.
3 Pero mi mente quemaba como si estuviera en llamas; tenía que decir lo que pensaba:
3 My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned. I spoke with my tongue:
4 Señor, recuérdame. ¿Cuán corta es mi vida? ¿Cuánto tiempo me queda? Recuérdame cuán rápido mi vida pasará.
4 “Yahweh, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.
5 ¡Sólo fíjate los pocos días que me has dado! A tus ojos todo mi tiempo es como si fuera nada. Nuestras vidas aquí son como un simple suspiro… Selah.
5 Behold, you have made my days hand widths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath.” Selah.
6 Los seres humanos son como sombras caminando por ahí. Corren sin un objetivo por la vida, tratando de acumular posesiones sin saber quiénes se quedarán con ellas.
6 “Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn’t know who shall gather.
7 Así que Señor, ¿Qué estoy buscando yo? Pongo mi esperanza en ti.
7 Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.
8 Sálvame de mi rebelión. No dejes que sea burlado por los tontos.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions. Don’t make me the reproach of the foolish.
9 Me mantendré quieto, no diré ni una palabra, porque eres tú quien me ha hecho esto.
9 I was mute. I didn’t open my mouth, because you did it.
10 ¡Por favor, deja de golpearme! ¡Tu golpiza me ha acabado!
10 Remove your scourge away from me. I am overcome by the blow of your hand.
11 Cuando nos disciplinas, reprendiéndonos por nuestros pecados, es como una polilla comiéndose todo lo que es precioso para nosotros. Todos nosotros somos solo un suspiro… Selah.
11 When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity, you consume his wealth like a moth. Surely every man is but a breath.” Selah.
12 ¡Por favor Señor, escucha mi oración! ¡Escucha mi clamor pidiendo ayuda! No seas sordo para con mi llanto. Por favor trátame como tu invitado, haz como con mis antepasados.
12 “Hear my prayer, Yahweh, and give ear to my cry. Don’t be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with you, a foreigner, as all my fathers were.
13 Por favor, déjame en paz para que pueda sonreír de nuevo, antes de que muera y me vaya de este mundo.
13 Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go away and exist no more.”

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 XXXVIII)

    What doth this recollection of the Sabbath mean? What is this Sabbath? For it is with groaning that he "calls it to recollection." You have both heard already when the Psalm was read, and you will now hear it when we shall go over it, how great is his groaning, his mourning, his tears, his misery.

    … feed upon me; nor shall thou convert me, like the food of thy flesh, into thee, but thou shall be converted into me."

And I said, "Is Truth, therefore, nothing because it is neither diffused through space, finite, …
