Notes on this text (1)
- Greek and Latin Bibles number most Psalms one lower than Hebrew and English Bibles.
1 Para el director del coro. Un salmo de los hijos de Coré. ¡Escuchen esto! ¡Presten atención, personas del mundo,
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,
2 sean de alta o baja sociedad, sean ricos o pobres!
2 both low and high, rich and poor together.
3 Porque lo que diré son palabras sabias, y mi pensamiento es perspicaz.
3 My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart will utter understanding.
4 Prestaré atención a los proverbios; responderé las preguntas difíciles al son del arpa.
4 I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will solve my riddle on the harp.
5 ¿Por qué debería temer cuando los problemas vienen o cuando mis enemigos me rodeen?
5 Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?
6 Ellos confían en su riqueza; alardean de sus posesiones,
6 Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—
7 pero nadie puede pagar por rescatar a otro de la muerte; nadie puede pagarle un rescate a Dios.
7 none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.
8 La redención va más allá de un precio; nadie nunca podrá pagar lo suficiente
8 For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,
9 como para vivir para siempre y no enfrentar la tumba.
9 that he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.
10 Todos saben que el sabio morirá, pero aquellos que son tontos y tercos también, dejando todo lo que tienen a la siguiente generación.
10 For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 Ellos creen que sus hogares durarán para siempre, que el lugar donde viven se mantendrá por todas las generaciones.
11 Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.
12 Pero los seres humanos, ni con todo su honor entenderán. Ellos morirán, igual que los animales.
12 But man, despite his riches, doesn’t endure. He is like the animals that perish.
13 Este es el camino de los necios, sin embargo, los que vienen después de ellos piensan que van a ser más inteligentes Selah.
13 This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. Selah.
14 Como ovejas están destinados a la tumba. La muerte será su pastor. Pero los que viven con rectitud gobernarán sobre ellos en la mañana gloriosa. Sus cuerpos se desintegrarán en la tumba, lejos de sus hogares.
14 They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion.
15 Pero seguramente Dios me rescatará del poder de la muerte; él me traerá de vuelta. Selah.
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah.
16 No te molestes cuando las personas se hagan ricas, y llenen sus casas con posesiones.
16 Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17 Porque no se llevarán nada con ellos cuando mueran; sus riquezas no irán con ellos a la tumba.
17 for when he dies he will carry nothing away. His glory won’t descend after him.
18 Ellos se felicitan entre ellos por sus posesiones, las personas siempre te alabarán cuando hagas las cosas bien,
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men praise you when you do well for yourself—
19 pero su destino es el mismo que el de sus antepasados: nunca más verán la luz del día.
19 he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.
20 Los seres humanos, nunca entenderán, debido a toda su fama, y morirán, tal como los animales.
20 A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.

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).
The title of this Psalm is, "A song of praise, to the sons of Korah, on the second day of the week." Concerning this what the Lord deigneth to grant receive ye like sons of the firmament.

… lost the true rationality, and living irrationally, opposed the righteousness of God, giving himself over to every earthly spirit, and serving all lusts; as says the prophet, "Man, being in honour, did not understand: he was assimilated to senseless beasts, and made like to them." Chapter V.--The author returns to his former argument, and shows that there was but one …
For this he doth by the discernment of his mind, whereby he perceiveth the things "of the Spirit of God;" whereas, otherwise, man being placed in honour, had no understanding, and is compared unto the brute beasts, and is become like unto them. In Thy Church, therefore, O our God, according to Thy grace which Thou hast accorded unto it, …

As the prophet too said, intimating the selfsame thing, "A brother redeemeth not, shall a man redeem?" No, not although it were Moses, Samuel, Jeremiah.

It is of such the Psalmist says, "They call their lands after their own names." Wherefore they incur what is written in another psalm: "Thou, O Lord, in Thy city wilt despise their image." But as for the son of Seth, the son of the resurrection, let him hope to call on the name of the Lord God.
