YLT Young's Literal Translation
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,
1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. OIGATE Jehová en el día de conflicto; defiéndate el nombre del Dios de Jacob.
2 He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,
2 Envíete ayuda desde el santuario, y desde Sión te sostenga.
3 He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. Selah.
3 Haga memoria de todos tus presentes, y reduzca á ceniza tu holocausto. (Selah.)
4 He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.
4 Déte conforme á tu corazón, y cumpla todo tu consejo.
5 We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.
5 Nosotros nos alegraremos por tu salud, y alzaremos pendón en el nombre de nuestro Dios: cumpla Jehová todas tus peticiones.
6 Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.
6 Ahora echo de ver que Jehová guarda á su ungido: oirálo desde los cielos de su santidad, con la fuerza de la salvación de su diestra.
7 Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.
7 Estos [confían] en carros, y aquéllos en caballos: mas nosotros del nombre de Jehová nuestro Dios tendremos memoria.
8 They — they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.
8 Ellos arrodillaron, y cayeron; mas nosotros nos levantamos, y nos enhestamos.
9 O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!
9 Salva, Jehová: que el Rey nos oiga el día que lo invocáremos.

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).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XIX)

    It is a well-known title; nor does the Lord Jesus Christ say what follows, but it is said of Him. 2. "The heavens tell out the glory of God" (ver. 1).
