YLT Young's Literal Translation
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 And they bring in the ark of God, and set it up in the midst of the tent that David hath stretched out for it, and they bring near burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God;
1 ASÍ trajeron el arca de Dios, y asentáronla en medio de la tienda que David había tendido para ella: y ofrecieron holocaustos y pacíficos delante de Dios.
2 and David ceaseth from offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, and blesseth the people in the name of Jehovah,
2 Y como David hubo acabado de ofrecer el holocausto y los pacíficos, bendijo al pueblo en el nombre de Jehová.
3 and giveth a portion to every man of Israel, both man and woman: to each a cake of bread, and a measure of wine, and a grape-cake.
3 Y repartió á todo Israel, así á hombres como á mujeres, á cada uno una torta de pan, y una pieza de carne, y un frasco de vino.
4 And he putteth before the ark of Jehovah, of the Levites, ministers, even to make mention of, and to thank, and to give praise to Jehovah, God of Israel,
4 Y puso delante del arca de Jehová ministros de los Levitas, para que recordasen, y confesasen, y loasen á Jehová Dios de Israel:
5 Asaph the head, and his second Zechariah; Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with instruments of psalteries, and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals is sounding;
5 Asaph el primero, el segundo después de él Zachârías, Jeiel, Semiramoth, Jehiel, Mathithías, Eliab, Benaías, Obed-edom, y Jehiel, con sus instrumentos de salterios y arpas; mas Asaph hacía sonido con címbalos:
6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests [are] with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
6 Benaías también y Jahaziel, sacerdotes, continuamente con trompetas delante del arca del pacto de Dios.
7 On that day then hath David given at the beginning to give thanks to Jehovah by the hand of Asaph and his brethren: —
7 Entonces, en aquel día, dió David principio á celebrar á Jehová por mano de Asaph y de sus hermanos:
8 Give thanks to Jehovah, call in His name, Make known among the peoples His doings.
8 Confesad á Jehová, invocad su nombre, haced notorias en los pueblos sus obras.
9 Sing ye to Him, sing psalms to Him, Meditate on all His wonders.
9 Cantad á él, cantadle salmos; hablad de todas sus maravillas.

10 Gloriaos en su santo nombre; alégrese el corazón de los que buscan á Jehová.

11 Buscad á Jehová y su fortaleza; buscad su rostro continuamente.
12 Remember His wonders that He did, His signs, and the judgments of His mouth,
12 Haced memoria de sus maravillas que ha obrado, de sus prodigios, y de los juicios de su boca,
13 O seed of Israel, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
13 Oh vosotros, simiente de Israel su siervo, hijos de Jacob, sus escogidos.
14 He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His judgments.
14 Jehová, él es nuestro Dios; sus juicios en toda la tierra.
15 Remember ye to the age His covenant, The word He commanded — To a thousand generations,
15 Haced memoria de su alianza perpetuamente, y de la palabra que él mandó en mil generaciones;
16 Which He hath made with Abraham, And His oath — to Isaac,
16 [Del pacto] que concertó con Abraham, y de su juramento á Isaac;
17 And He establisheth it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel — a covenant age-during.
17 El cual confirmó á Jacob por estatuto, y á Israel por pacto sempiterno,
18 Saying: To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,
18 Diciendo: A ti daré la tierra de Canaán, suerte de vuestra herencia;
19 When ye are few of number, As a little thing, and sojourners in it.
19 Cuando erais pocos en número, pocos y peregrinos en ella;
20 And they go up and down, From nation unto nation, And from a kingdom unto another people.
20 Y andaban de nación en nación, y de un reino á otro pueblo.
21 He hath not suffered any to oppress them, And reproveth on their account kings:
21 No permitió que nadie los oprimiese: antes por amor de ellos castigó á los reyes.
22 Come not against Mine anointed ones, And against My prophets do not evil.
22 No toquéis, [dijo], á mis ungidos, ni hagáis mal á mis profetas.

25 Porque grande es Jehová, y digno de ser grandemente loado, y de ser temido sobre todos los dioses.
26 For all gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah the heavens hath made.
26 Porque todos los dioses de los pueblos son nada: mas Jehová hizo los cielos.

27 Poderío y hermosura delante de él; fortaleza y alegría en su morada.

30 Be pained before Him, all the earth:
30 Temed en su presencia, toda la tierra: el mundo será aún establecido, para que no se conmueva.
31 Also, established is the world, It is not moved! The heavens rejoice, and the earth is glad, And they say among nations: Jehovah hath reigned.
31 Alégrense los cielos, y gócese la tierra, y digan en las naciones: Reina Jehová.
32 Roar doth the sea, and its fulness, Exult doth the field, and all that [is] in it,
32 Resuene la mar, y la plenitud de ella: alégrese el campo, y todo lo que contiene.
33 Then sing do trees of the forest, From the presence of Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth!
33 Entonces cantarán los árboles de los bosques delante de Jehová, porque viene á juzgar la tierra.

34 Celebrad á Jehová, porque es bueno; porque su misericordia es eterna.
35 And say, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us, and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To triumph in Thy praise.

36 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age and unto the age;' And all the people say, 'Amen,' and have given praise to Jehovah.
36 Bendito sea Jehová Dios de Israel, de eternidad á eternidad. Y dijo todo el pueblo, Amén: y alabó á Jehová.
37 And he leaveth there before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, for Asaph and for his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, according to the matter of a day in its day,
37 Y dejó allí, delante del arca del pacto de Jehová, á Asaph y á sus hermanos, para que ministrasen de continuo delante del arca, cada cosa en su día:
38 both Obed-Edom and their brethren, sixty and eight, and Obed-Edom son of Jeduthun, and Hosah for gatekeepers,
38 Y á Obed-edom y á sus hermanos, sesenta y ocho; y á Obed-edom hijo de Jeduthún, y á Asa, por porteros:
39 and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah, in a high place that [is] in Gibeon,
39 Asimismo á Sadoc el sacerdote, y á sus hermanos los sacerdotes, delante del tabernáculo de Jehová en el alto que estaba en Gabaón,
40 to cause to ascend burnt-offerings to Jehovah, on the altar of burnt-offering continually, morning and evening, and for all that is written in the law of Jehovah, that He charged on Israel.
40 Para que sacrificasen continuamente, á mañana y tarde, holocaustos á Jehová en el altar del holocausto, conforme á todo lo que está escrito en la ley de Jehová, que él prescribió á Israel;
41 And with them [are] Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen, who were defined by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, for to the age [is] His kindness,
41 Y con ellos á Hemán y á Jeduthún, y los otros escogidos declarados por sus nombres, para glorificar á Jehová, porque es eterna su misericordia;
42 and with them — Heman and Jeduthun — [are] trumpets and cymbals for those sounding, and instruments of the song of God, and the sons of Jeduthun [are] at the gate.
42 Con ellos á Hemán y á Jeduthún con trompetas y címbalos para tañer, y con [otros] instrumentos de música de Dios; y á los hijos de Jeduthún, por porteros.
43 And all the people go, each to his house, and David turneth round to bless his house.
43 Y todo el pueblo se fué cada uno á su casa; y David se volvió para bendecir su casa.

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).
