- Greek and Latin Bibles number most Psalms one lower than Hebrew and English Bibles.
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
1 Sigaión de David, que cantó á Jehová sobre las palabras de Cus, hijo de Benjamín. JEHOVÁ Dios mío, en ti he confiado: sálvame de todos los que me persiguen, y líbrame;
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while [there is] none to deliver.
2 No sea que arrebate mi alma, cual león que despedaza, sin que haya quien libre.
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in my hands;
3 Jehová Dios mío, si yo he hecho esto, si hay en mis manos iniquidad;
4 If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (yes, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy:)
4 Si dí mal pago al pacífico conmigo, (hasta he libertado al que sin causa era mi enemigo;)
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it] ; yes, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.
5 Persiga el enemigo mi alma, y alcánce[la]; y pise en tierra mi vida, y mi honra ponga en el polvo. (Selah.)
6 Arise, O LORD, in thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou hast commanded.
6 Levántate, oh Jehová, con tu furor; álzate á causa de las iras de mis angustiadores, y despierta en favor mío el juicio [que] mandaste.
7 So shall the congregation of the people encompass thee: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
7 Y te rodeará concurso de pueblo; por cuyo amor vuélvete luego [á levantar] en alto.
8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity [that is] in me.
8 Jehová juzgará los pueblos: júzgame, oh Jehová, conforme á mi justicia y conforme á mi integridad.
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
9 Consúmase ahora la malicia de los inicuos, y establece al justo; pues el Dios justo prueba los corazones y los riñones.
10 My defense [is] from God, who saveth the upright in heart.
10 Mi escudo está en Dios, que salva á los rectos de corazón.
11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] every day.
11 Dios es el que juzga al justo: y Dios está airado todos los días [contra el impío].
12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
12 Si no se convirtiere, él afilará su espada: armado tiene ya su arco, y lo ha preparado.
13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
13 Asimismo ha aparejado para él armas de muerte; ha labrado sus saetas para los que persiguen.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
14 He aquí ha tenido parto de iniquidad: concibió trabajo, y parió mentira.
15 He made a pit, and digged it, and hath fallen into the ditch [which] he made.
15 Pozo ha cavado, y ahondádolo; y en la fosa que hizo caerá.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
16 Su trabajo se tornará sobre su cabeza, y su agravio descenderá sobre su mollera.
17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
17 Alabaré yo á Jehová conforme á su justicia, y cantaré al nombre de Jehová el Altísimo.

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).
Now the story which gave occasion to this prophecy may be easily recognised in the second book of Kings. For there Chusi, the friend of king David, went over to the side of Abessalon, his son, who was carrying on war against his father, for the purpose of discovering and reporting the designs which he was taking against his father, …

But that it belongs to God only to know men's secrets, hear what saith the prophet, "Thou most entirely alone knowest the hearts;" and again, "God trieth the hearts and reins; " and Jeremiah too saith, "The heart is deep above all things, and it is man, and who shall know him?" and, "Man shall look on the face, but …

… for a faithful man it is hard to find: not that thou shouldest shew thy conscience to me, for thou art not to be judged of man's judgment; but that thou shew the sincerity of thy faith to God, who trieth the reins and hearts, and knoweth the thoughts of men.
