1 ALABAD á Jehová, porque es bueno; porque para siempre [es] su misericordia.

1 Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

2 Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.

4 They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A city of habitation they have not found.

4 Anduvieron perdidos por el desierto, por la soledad sin camino, no hallando ciudad de población.

5 Hungry — yea — thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble,

5 Hambrientos y sedientos, su alma desfallecía en ellos.

6 And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them,

6 Habiendo empero clamado á Jehová en su angustia, librólos de sus aflicciones:

6 Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

7 And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation.

9 For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.

10 Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,

10 Los que moraban en tinieblas y sombra de muerte, aprisionados en aflicción y en hierros;

10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron,

11 Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised.

11 Por cuanto fueron rebeldes á las palabras de Jehová, y aborrecieron el consejo del Altísimo,

11 because they rebelled against the words of God, and condemned the counsel of the Most High.

12 And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.

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).

Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CVI)
This Psalm also hath the title Allelujah prefixed to it: and this twice. But some say, that one Allelujah belongeth to the end of the former Psalm, the other to the beginning of this.
