1 Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh’s name! Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,
1 Aleluya. ALABAD el nombre de Jehová; alabad[le], siervos de Jehová;
2 you who stand in Yahweh’s house, in the courts of our God’s house.
2 Los que estáis en la casa de Jehová, en los atrios de la casa de nuestro Dios.
3 Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
3 Alabad á JAH, porque es bueno Jehová: cantad salmos á su nombre, porque es suave.
4 For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own possession.
4 Porque JAH ha escogido á Jacob para sí, á Israel por posesión suya.
5 For I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
5 Porque yo se que Jehová es grande, y el Señor nuestro, mayor que todos los dioses.
6 Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.
6 Todo lo que quiso Jehová, ha hecho en los cielos y en la tierra, en las mares y en todos los abismos.
7 He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings with the rain. He brings the wind out of his treasuries.
7 El hace subir las nubes del cabo de la tierra; él hizo los relámpagos para la lluvia; él saca los vientos de sus tesoros.
8 He struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal.
8 El [es el] que hirió los primogénitos de Egipto, desde el hombre hasta la bestia.
9 He sent signs and wonders into the middle of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.
9 Envió señales y prodigios en medio de ti, oh Egipto, sobre Faraón, y sobre todos sus siervos.
10 He struck many nations, and killed mighty kings—
10 El que hirió muchas gentes, y mató reyes poderosos:
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan—
11 A Sehón rey Amorrheo, y á Og rey de Basán, y á todos los reinos de Canaán.
12 and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.
12 Y dió la tierra de ellos en heredad, en heredad á Israel su pueblo.
13 Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.
13 Oh Jehová, eterno [es] tu nombre; tu memoria, oh Jehová para generación y generación.
14 For Yahweh will judge his people and have compassion on his servants.
14 Porque juzgará Jehová su pueblo, y arrepentiráse sobre sus siervos.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
15 Los ídolos de las gentes son plata y oro, obra de manos de hombres.
16 They have mouths, but they can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see.
16 Tienen boca, y no hablan; tienen ojos, y no ven;
17 They have ears, but they can’t hear, neither is there any breath in their mouths.
17 Tienen orejas, y no oyen; tampoco hay espíritu en sus bocas.
18 Those who make them will be like them, yes, everyone who trusts in them.
18 Como ellos son los que los hacen; todos los que en ellos confían.
19 House of Israel, praise Yahweh! House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!
19 Casa de Israel, bendecid á Jehová: casa de Aarón, bendecid á Jehová:
20 House of Levi, praise Yahweh! You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh!
20 Casa de Leví, bendecid á Jehová: los que teméis á Jehová, bendecid á Jehová.
21 Blessed be Yahweh from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
21 Bendito de Sión Jehová, que mora en Jerusalem. Aleluya.

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).
(ver. 1), "who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God" (ver. 2). Why has he added, "in the courts"? Courts mean the wider spaces of a house. He who stands in the courts is not straitened, is not confined, in some fashion is enlarged.

For so many measures of waters lie upon the clouds, yet they are not rent: but come down with all good order upon the earth. Who bringeth the winds out of their treasuries?

For whatsoever the Lord pleased that did He in heaven and in earth, and no one resisted His will.

… with how great assurance will the purified mass, standing at the Right Hand, fearing now for itself the admixture of no evil men, nor the loss of any of the good, now about to reign with Christ, say, "I know that the Lord is great"!
