Notes on this text (1)
- Greek and Latin Bibles number most Psalms one lower than Hebrew and English Bibles.
1 Bless, O my soul, Jehovah! Jehovah, my God, Thou hast been very great, Honour and majesty Thou hast put on.
1 BENDICE, alma mía, á Jehová. Jehová, Dios mío, mucho te has engrandecido; haste vestido de gloria y de magnificencia.
2 Covering himself [with] light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,
2 El que se cubre de luz como de vestidura, que extiende los cielos como una cortina;
3 Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on wings of wind,
3 Que establece sus aposentos entre las aguas; el que pone las nubes por su carroza, el que anda sobre las alas del viento;
4 Making His messengers — the winds, His ministers — the flaming fire.
4 El que hace á sus ángeles espíritus, sus ministros al fuego flameante.
5 He hath founded earth on its bases, It is not moved to the age and for ever.
5 El fundó la tierra sobre sus basas; no será jamás removida.
6 The abyss! as with clothing Thou hast covered it, Above hills do waters stand.
6 Con el abismo, como con vestido, la cubriste; sobre los montes estaban las aguas.
7 From Thy rebuke they flee, From the voice of Thy thunder haste away.
7 A tu reprensión huyeron; al sonido de tu trueno se apresuraron;
8 They go up hills — they go down valleys, Unto a place Thou hast founded for them.
8 Subieron los montes, descendieron los valles, al lugar que tú les fundaste.
9 A border Thou hast set, they pass not over, They turn not back to cover the earth.
9 Pusísteles término, el cual no traspasarán; ni volverán á cubrir la tierra.
10 Who is sending forth fountains in valleys, Between hills they go on.
10 [Tú eres] el que envías las fuentes por los arroyos; van entre los montes.
11 They water every beast of the field, Wild asses break their thirst.
11 Abrevan á todas las bestias del campo: quebrantan su sed los asnos montaraces.
12 By them the fowl of the heavens doth dwell, From between the branches They give forth the voice.
12 Junto á aquellos habitarán las aves de los cielos; entre las ramas dan voces.
13 Watering hills from His upper chambers, From the fruit of Thy works is the earth satisfied.
13 El que riega los montes desde sus aposentos: del fruto de sus obras se sacia la tierra.
14 Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,
14 El que hace producir el heno para las bestias, y la hierba para el servicio del hombre; sacando el pan de la tierra.
15 And wine — it rejoiceth the heart of man, To cause the face to shine from oil, And bread — the heart of man it supporteth.
15 Y el vino que alegra el corazón del hombre, [y] el aceite que hace lucir el rostro, y el pan que sustenta el corazón del hombre.
16 Satisfied [are] the trees of Jehovah, Cedars of Lebanon that He hath planted,
16 Llénanse de [jugo] los árboles de Jehová, los cedros del Líbano que él plantó.
17 Where birds do make nests, The stork — the firs [are] her house.
17 Allí anidan las aves; en las hayas [hace] su casa la cigüeña.
18 The high hills [are] for wild goats, Rocks [are] a refuge for conies,
18 Los montes altos para las cabras monteses; las peñas, madrigueras para los conejos.
19 He made the moon for seasons, The sun hath known his place of entrance.
19 Hizo la luna para los tiempos: el sol conoce su ocaso.
20 Thou settest darkness, and it is night, In it doth every beast of the forest creep.
20 Pone las tinieblas, y es la noche: en ella corretean todas las bestias de la selva.
21 The young lions are roaring for prey, And to seek from God their food.
21 Los leoncillos braman á la presa, y para buscar de Dios su comida.
22 The sun riseth, they are gathered, And in their dens they crouch.
22 Sale el sol, recógense, y échanse en sus cuevas.
23 Man goeth forth to his work, And to his service — till evening.
23 Sale el hombre á su hacienda, y á su labranza hasta la tarde.
24 How many have been Thy works, O Jehovah, All of them in wisdom Thou hast made, Full is the earth of thy possessions.
24 ¡Cuán muchas son tus obras, oh Jehová! Hiciste todas ellas con sabiduría: la tierra está llena de tus beneficios.
25 This, the sea, great and broad of sides, There [are] moving things — innumerable, Living creatures — small with great.
25 [Asimismo] esta gran mar y ancha de términos: en ella pescados sin número, animales pequeños y grandes.
26 There do ships go: leviathan, That Thou hast formed to play in it.
26 Allí andan navíos; allí este leviathán que hiciste para que jugase en ella.
27 All of them unto Thee do look, To give their food in its season.
27 Todos ellos esperan en ti, para que les des su comida á su tiempo.
28 Thou dost give to them — they gather, Thou dost open Thy hand — they [are] satisfied [with] good.
28 Les das, recogen; abres tu mano, hártanse de bien.
29 Thou hidest Thy face — they are troubled, Thou gatherest their spirit — they expire, And unto their dust they turn back.
29 Escondes tu rostro, túrbanse: les quitas el espíritu, dejan de ser, y tórnanse en su polvo.
30 Thou sendest out Thy Spirit, they are created, And Thou renewest the face of the ground.
30 Envías tu espíritu, críanse: y renuevas la haz de la tierra.
31 The honour of Jehovah is to the age, Jehovah rejoiceth in His works,
31 Sea la gloria de Jehová para siempre; alégrese Jehová en sus obras;
32 Who is looking to earth, and it trembleth, He cometh against hills, and they smoke.
32 El cual mira á la tierra, y ella tiembla; toca los montes, y humean.
33 I sing to Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
33 A Jehová cantaré en mi vida: á mi Dios salmearé mientras viviere.
34 Sweet is my meditation on Him, I — I do rejoice in Jehovah.
34 Serme ha suave hablar de él: yo me alegraré en Jehová.
35 Consumed are sinners from the earth, And the wicked are no more. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah!
35 Sean consumidos de la tierra los pecadores, y los impíos dejen de ser. Bendice, alma mía, á Jehová. 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).
… knowledge, "who, being the brightness of His majesty, is by so much greater than the angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they." For it is thus written, "Who maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire." But concerning His Son the Lord spoke thus: "Thou art my Son, to-day have I …
… God who made and adorned the heavens, and the earth, and all things that are in them, and maintain that they themselves are spiritual, while they are in fact shamefully carnal on account of their so great impiety,--affirming that He, who has made His angels spirits, and is clothed with light as with a garment, and holds the circle of …
I will with confidence cry out from Thy oracle, How wonderful are Thy works, O Lord, in Wisdom hast Thou made them all. And this Wisdom is the Beginning, and in that Beginning hast Thou made heaven and earth.

"For a cloud and darkness are round about Him;" and, "He sitteth on a light cloud;" and again, "Who maketh clouds His chariot;" and, "A cloud received Him out of their sight;" and, "As the Son of Man coming in the clouds." In order then that they might believe that the voice proceeds from God, it comes from thence.

Wine was given to make glad the heart of man: and Dionysus (Bacchus) was worshipped instead of God.
