WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Para el director del coro. Un salmo (masquil) de David, cuando Doeg el Edomita fue a Saúl y le dijo “David se ha ido a la casa de Ahimelec”. Grandes hombres, ¿Por qué alardean de todas las cosas malas que han hecho? El gran amor de Dios permanece todo el día.
1 For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, “David has come to Ahimelech’s house.” Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.
2 Hacen planes para ver a la gente sufrir; sus palabras cortan como un rastrillo afilado, ¡Mentirosos!
2 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 Aman el mal más que al bien, y aman decir mentiras más que la verdad. Selah.
3 You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.
4 Aman las calumnias que destruyen a los demás, ¡Mentirosos!
4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
5 Pero Dios los derribará con tanta fuerza que nunca más se podrán levantar. Dios los agarrará y los sacará de su tienda. Los expulsará de la tierra de los vivos. Selah.
5 God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
6 Aquellos que hacen el bien verán todo esto. Se asombrarán y se reirán, diciendo:
6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
7 “¡Miren lo que les pasa a los que no acuden a Dios en busca de ayuda, sino que confían en su gran riqueza y fortaleza, que solo les traerá destrucción!”
7 “Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”
8 Pero yo soy como un árbol de olivo que crece fuertemente en la casa de Dios. Confiaré en su amor inagotable por siempre y para siempre.
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.
9 Te alabaré por siempre, ¡Oh, Dios! Por todo lo que has hecho. En la presencia de tu pueblo, depositaré mi confianza en ti, porque tú eres bueno.
9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints.

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 LI)

    Neither must this multitude's throng be defrauded, nor their infirmity burthened. Silence we ask, and quiet, in order that our voice, after yesterday's labour, be able with some little vigour to last out.
