1 And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest around from all his enemies;
1 Y ACONTECIÓ que, estando ya el rey asentado en su casa, después que Jehová le había dado reposo de todos sus enemigos en derredor,
2 That the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
2 Dijo el rey al profeta Nathán: Mira ahora, yo moro en edificios de cedro, y el arca de Dios está entre cortinas.
3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that [is] in thy heart: for the LORD [is] with thee.
3 Y Nathán dijo al rey: Anda, y haz todo lo que está en tu corazón, que Jehová es contigo.
4 And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying,
4 Y aconteció aquella noche, que fué palabra de Jehová á Nathán, diciendo:
5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Wilt thou build me a house for me to dwell in?
5 Ve y di á mi siervo David: Así ha dicho Jehová: ¿Tú me has de edificar casa en que yo more?
6 Whereas I have not dwelt in [any] house since the time that I brought the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent, and in a tabernacle.
6 Ciertamente no he habitado en casas desde el día que saqué á los hijos de Israel de Egipto hasta hoy, sino que anduve en tienda y en tabernáculo.
7 In all [the places] in which I have walked with all the children of Israel have I spoken a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why do ye not build me a house of cedar?
7 Y en todo cuanto he andado con todos los hijos de Israel, ¿he hablado palabra en alguna de las tribus de Israel, á quien haya mandado que apaciente mi pueblo de Israel, para decir: ¿Por qué no me habéis edificado casa de cedros?
8 Now therefore so shalt thou say to my servant David, thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheep-cote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
8 Ahora pues, dirás así á mi siervo David: Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: Yo te tomé de la majada, de detrás de las ovejas, para que fueses príncipe sobre mi pueblo, sobre Israel;
9 And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thy enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like to the name of the great [men] that [are] in the earth.
9 Y he sido contigo en todo cuanto has andado, y delante de ti he talado todos tus enemigos, y te he hecho nombre grande, como el nombre de los grandes que son en la tierra.
10 Moreover, I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as formerly.
10 Además yo fijaré lugar á mi pueblo Israel, yo lo plantaré, para que habite en su lugar, y nunca más sea removido, ni los inicuos le aflijan más, como antes,
11 And as since the time that I commanded judges [to be] over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thy enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee a house.
11 Desde el día que puse jueces sobre mi pueblo Israel; y yo te daré descanso de todos tus enemigos. Asimismo Jehová te hace saber, que él te quiere hacer casa.
12 And when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
12 Y cuando tus días fueren cumplidos, y durmieres con tus padres, yo estableceré tu simiente después de ti, la cual procederá de tus entrañas, y aseguraré su reino.
13 He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
13 El edificará casa á mi nombre, y yo afirmaré para siempre el trono de su reino.
14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he shall commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
14 Yo le seré á él padre, y él me será á mí hijo. Y si él hiciere mal, yo le castigaré con vara de hombres, y con azotes de hijos de hombres;
15 But my mercy shall not depart from him, as I took [it] from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
15 Empero mi misericordia no se apartará de él, como la aparté de Saúl, al cual quité de delante de ti.
16 And thy house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
16 Y será afirmada tu casa y tu reino para siempre delante de tu rostro; y tu trono será estable eternalmente.
17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
17 Conforme á todas estas palabras, y conforme á toda esta visión, así habló Nathán á David.
18 Then king David went in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who [am] I, O LORD God? and what [is] my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto;
18 Y entró el rey David, y púsose delante de Jehová, y dijo: Señor Jehová, ¿quién soy yo, y qué es mi casa, para que tú me traigas hasta aquí?
19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O LORD God; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And [is] this the manner of man, O LORD God?
19 Y aun te ha parecido poco esto, Señor Jehová, pues que también has hablado de la casa de tu siervo en lo por venir. ¿Es ése el modo de obrar del hombre, Señor Jehová?
20 And what can David say more to thee? for thou, LORD God, knowest thy servant.
20 ¿Y qué más puede añadir David hablando contigo? Tú pues conoces tu siervo, Señor Jehová.
21 For thy word's sake, and according to thy own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know [them] .
21 Todas estas grandezas has obrado por tu palabra y conforme á tu corazón, haciéndolas saber á tu siervo.
22 Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for [there is] none like thee, neither [is there any] God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
22 Por tanto tú te has engrandecido, Jehová Dios: por cuanto no hay como tú, ni hay Dios fuera de ti, conforme á todo lo que hemos oído con nuestros oídos.
23 And what one nation in the earth [is] like thy people, [even] like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, [from] the nations and their gods?
23 ¿Y quién como tu pueblo, como Israel, en la tierra? una gente por amor de la cual Dios fuese á redimírsela por pueblo, y le pusiese nombre, é hiciese por vosotros, [oh Israel], grandes y espantosas obras en tu tierra, por amor de tu pueblo, [oh Dios], que tú redimiste de Egipto, de las gentes y de sus dioses?
24 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel [to be] a people to thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God.
24 Porque tú te has confirmado á tu pueblo Israel por pueblo tuyo para siempre: y tú, oh Jehová, fuiste á ellos por Dios.
25 And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish [it] for ever, and do as thou hast said.
25 Ahora pues, Jehová Dios, la palabra que has hablado sobre tu siervo y sobre su casa, despiértala para siempre, y haz conforme á lo que has dicho.
26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts [is] the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
26 Que sea engrandecido tu nombre para siempre, y dígase: Jehová de los ejércitos es Dios sobre Israel; y que la casa de tu siervo David sea firme delante de ti.
27 For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer to thee.
27 Porque tú, Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel, revelaste al oído de tu siervo, diciendo: Yo te edificaré casa. Por esto tu siervo ha hallado en su corazón para hacer delante de ti esta súplica.
28 And now, O LORD God, thou [art] that God, and thy words are true, and thou hast promised this goodness to thy servant:
28 Ahora pues, Jehová Dios, tú eres Dios, y tus palabras serán firmes, ya que has dicho á tu siervo este bien.
29 Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O LORD God, hast spoken [it] : and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
29 Tenlo pues ahora á bien, y bendice la casa de tu siervo, para que perpetuamente permanezca delante de ti: pues que tú, Jehová Dios, lo has dicho, y con tu bendición será bendita la casa de tu siervo para siempre.

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).
And his house shall be faithful, and his kingdom even for evermore before me, and his throne shall be set up even for evermore." He who thinks this grand promise was fulfilled in Solomon greatly errs; for he attends to the saying, "He shall build me an house," but he does not attend to the saying, "His house shall be …

For there, that is, in the Book of Samuel, he says, "And if he commit iniquity I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men; but my mercy will I not take away from him," meaning by stripes the strokes of correction.

Therefore David understanding this, says in the second Book of Kings, in the passage from which we digressed to this psalm, "Thou hast spoken also for Thy servant's house for a great while to come." Therefore also a little after he says, "Now begin, and bless the house of Thy servant for evermore," etc., because the son was then about …
