RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
1 ALEGRAOS, justos, en Jehová: á los rectos es hermosa la alabanza.
2 Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
2 Celebrad á Jehová con arpa: cantadle con salterio y decacordio.
3 Sing to him a new song. Play skilfully with a shout of joy!
3 Cantadle canción nueva: hacedlo bien tañendo con júbilo.
4 For the LORD’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
4 Porque recta es la palabra de Jehová, y toda su obra con verdad [hecha].
5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of the LORD.
5 El ama justicia y juicio: de la misericordia de Jehová está llena la tierra.
6 By the LORD’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.
6 Por la palabra de Jehová fueron hechos los cielos, y todo el ejército de ellos por el espíritu de su boca.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
7 El junta como en un montón las aguas de la mar: él pone en depósitos los abismos.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
8 Tema á Jehová toda la tierra: teman de él todos los habitadores del mundo.
9 For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
9 Porque él dijo, y fué hecho; él mandó, y existió.
10 The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
10 Jehová hace nulo el consejo de las gentes, y frustra las maquinaciones de los pueblos.
11 The counsel of the LORD stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
11 El consejo de Jehová permanecerá para siempre; los pensamientos de su corazón por todas las generaciones.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
12 Bienaventurada la gente de que Jehová es su Dios; el pueblo á quien escogió por heredad para sí.
13 The LORD looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.
13 Desde los cielos miró Jehová; vió á todos los hijos de los hombres:
14 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
14 Desde la morada de su asiento miró sobre todos los moradores de la tierra.
15 he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
15 El formó el corazón de todos ellos; él considera todas sus obras.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
16 El rey no es salvo con la multitud del ejército: no escapa el valiente por la mucha fuerza.
17 A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
17 Vanidad es el caballo para salvarse: por la grandeza de su fuerza no librará.
18 Behold, the LORD’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness,
18 He aquí, el ojo de Jehová sobre los que le temen, sobre los que esperan en su misericordia;
19 to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
19 Para librar sus almas de la muerte, y para darles vida en el hambre.
20 Our soul has waited for the LORD. He is our help and our shield.
20 Nuestra alma esperó á Jehová; nuestra ayuda y nuestro escudo es él.
21 For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
21 Por tanto en él se alegrará nuestro corazón, porque en su santo nombre hemos confiado.
22 Let your loving kindness be on us, LORD, since we have hoped in you.
22 Sea tu misericordia, oh Jehová, sobre nosotros, como esperamos en ti.

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 XXXII)

    To David himself; for understanding; by which it is understood that not by the merits of works, but by the grace of God, man is delivered, confessing his sins. 2. "Blessed are they whose unrighteousness is forgiven, and whose sins are covered" (ver. 1): and whose sins are buried in oblivion.

  2. Quotes verse 33:6 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapters XXII–XXIII)

    Thus saith the Scripture, to that effect: "By the Word of the Lord were the heavens established, and all the might of them, by the spirit of His mouth." And again, "All things were made by Him, and without Him was nothing made." There is no exception or deduction stated; but the Father made all things by Him, whether visible …

  3. Quotes verse 33:11 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VI, Chapters XII–XV)

    Thence we fell again to sighs and groans, and our steps to follow the broad and beaten ways of the world; for many thoughts were in our heart, but Thy counsel standeth for ever. Out of which counsel Thou didst mock ours, and preparedst Thine own, purposing to give us meat in due season, and to open Thy hand, and …

    One, because the creative works of Christ are no other than the Father's; for the creation of all things is one, the Father having made them through the Son: For He spake, and they were made; He commanded, and they were created, saith the Psalmist.

  5. Quotes verse 33:6 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapter XVI)

    "For by the word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath [the Spirit] of His mouth."
