VUL Clementine Vulgate
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 In finem. Psalmus David,
·
2 cum venit ad eum Nathan propheta, quando intravit ad Bethsabee.
·
3 [Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam; et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam.
51:1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David, cuando después que entró á Bathsebah, vino á él Nathán el profeta. TEN piedad de mí, oh Dios, conforme á tu misericordia: conforme á la multitud de tus piedades borra mis rebeliones.
4 Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea, et a peccato meo munda me.
51:2 Lávame más y más de mi maldad, y límpiame de mi pecado.
5 Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco, et peccatum meum contra me est semper.
51:3 Porque yo reconozco mis rebeliones; y mi pecado está siempre delante de mí.
6 Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci; ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris.
51:4 A ti, á ti solo he pecado, y he hecho lo malo delante de tus ojos: porque seas reconocido justo en tu palabra, y tenido por puro en tu juicio.
7 Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum, et in peccatis concepit me mater mea.
51:5 He aquí, en maldad he sido formado, y en pecado me concibió mi madre.
8 Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti; incerta et occulta sapientiæ tuæ manifestasti mihi.
51:6 He aquí, tú amas la verdad en lo íntimo: y en lo secreto me has hecho comprender sabiduría.
9 Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor; lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.
51:7 Purifícame con hisopo, y seré limpio: lávame, y seré emblanquecido más que la nieve.
10 Auditui meo dabis gaudium et lætitiam, et exsultabunt ossa humiliata.
51:8 Hazme oir gozo y alegría; y se recrearán los huesos que has abatido.
11 Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis, et omnes iniquitates meas dele.
51:9 Esconde tu rostro de mis pecados, y borra todas mis maldades.
12 Cor mundum crea in me, Deus, et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis.
51:10 Crea en mí, oh Dios, un corazón limpio; y renueva un espíritu recto dentro de mí.
13 Ne projicias me a facie tua, et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.
51:11 No me eches de delante de ti; y no quites de mí tu santo espíritu.
14 Redde mihi lætitiam salutaris tui, et spiritu principali confirma me.
51:12 Vuélveme el gozo de tu salud; y el espíritu libre me sustente.
15 Docebo iniquos vias tuas, et impii ad te convertentur.
51:13 Enseñaré á los prevaricadores tus caminos; y los pecadores se convertirán á ti.
16 Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meæ, et exsultabit lingua mea justitiam tuam.
51:14 Líbrame de homicidios, oh Dios, Dios de mi salud: cantará mi lengua tu justicia.
17 Domine, labia mea aperies, et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.
51:15 Señor, abre mis labios; y publicará mi boca tu alabanza.
18 Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique; holocaustis non delectaberis.
51:16 Porque no quieres tú sacrificio, que yo daría; no quieres holocausto.
19 Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus; cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies.
51:17 Los sacrificios de Dios son el espíritu quebrantado: al corazón contrito y humillado no despreciarás tú, oh Dios.
20 Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion, ut ædificentur muri Jerusalem.
51:18 Haz bien con tu benevolencia á Sión: edifica los muros de Jerusalem.
21 Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiæ, oblationes et holocausta; tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.]
51:19 Entonces te agradarán los sacrificios de justicia, el holocausto ú ofrenda del todo quemada: entonces ofrecerán sobre tu altar becerros.

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). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 51.

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 L)

    How much availeth the Word of God to us for the correction of our life, both regarding His rewards to be expected, and His punishments to be feared, let each one measure in himself; and let him put his conscience without deceit before His eyes, and not flatter himself in a danger so great: for ye see that even our …

  2. Quotes verse 51:17 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Chapter XVII)

    The sacrifice of God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart the Lord will not despise." Because, therefore, God stands in need of nothing, He declares in the preceding Psalm: "I will take no calves out of thine house, nor he-goats out of thy fold.

And the Three Children also offer this unto God as a great sacrifice, saying, "Nevertheless, …
