Notes on this text (1)
- Greek and Latin Bibles number most Psalms one lower than Hebrew and English Bibles.
1 A Psalm of Asaph. The God of gods — Jehovah — hath spoken, And He calleth to the earth From the rising of the sun unto its going in.
1 Salmo de Asaph. EL Dios de dioses, Jehová, ha hablado, y convocado la tierra desde el nacimiento del sol hasta donde se pone.
2 From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.
2 De Sión, perfección de hermosura, ha Dios resplandecido.
3 Our God cometh, and is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous.
3 Vendrá nuestro Dios, y no callará: fuego consumirá delante de él, y en derredor suyo habrá tempestad grande.
4 He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the earth, to judge His people.
4 Convocará á los cielos de arriba, y á la tierra, para juzgar á su pueblo.
5 Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.
5 Juntadme mis santos; los que hicieron conmigo pacto con sacrificio.
6 And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself [is] judge. Selah.
6 Y denunciarán los cielos su justicia; porque Dios es el juez. (Selah.)
7 Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God [am] I.
7 Oye, pueblo mío, y hablaré: [escucha], Israel, y testificaré contra ti: yo soy Dios, el Dios tuyo.
8 Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings [Are] before Me continually.
8 No te reprenderé sobre tus sacrificios, ni por tus holocaustos, que delante de mí están siempre.
9 I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.
9 No tomaré de tu casa becerros, ni machos cabríos de tus apriscos.
10 For Mine [is] every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.
10 Porque mía es toda bestia del bosque, y los millares de animales en los collados.
11 I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field [is] with Me.
11 Conozco todas las aves de los montes, y en mi poder están las fieras del campo.
12 If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine [is] the world and its fulness.
12 Si yo tuviese hambre, no te lo diría á ti: porque mío es el mundo y su plenitud.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?
13 ¿Tengo de comer yo carne de toros, ó de beber sangre de machos cabríos?
14 Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.
14 Sacrifica á Dios alabanza, y paga tus votos al Altísimo.
15 And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest Me.
15 E invócame en el día de la angustia: te libraré, y tú me honrarás.
16 And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee — to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?
16 Pero al malo dijo Dios: ¿Qué tienes tú que enarrar mis leyes, y que tomar mi pacto en tu boca,
17 Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.
17 Pues que tú aborreces el castigo, y echas á tu espalda mis palabras?
18 If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers [is] thy portion.
18 Si veías al ladrón, tú corrías con él; y con los adúlteros era tu parte.
19 Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,
19 Tu boca metías en mal, y tu lengua componía engaño.
20 Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander.
20 Tomabas asiento, [y] hablabas contra tu hermano; contra el hijo de tu madre ponías infamia.
21 These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.
21 Estas cosas hiciste, y yo he callado: pensabas que de cierto sería yo como tú: yo te argüiré, y pondré[las] delante de tus ojos.
22 Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.
22 Entended ahora esto, los que os olvidáis de Dios; no sea que arrebate, sin que nadie libre.
23 He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!
23 El que sacrifica alabanza me honrará: y al que ordenare su camino, le mostraré la salud de Dios.

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).
"Hear ye these things, all ye nations" (ver. 1). Not then you only who are here. For of what power is our voice so to cry out, as that all nations may hear?

Of whom He again speaks: "The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken, and hath called the earth." Who is meant by God?
And regarding the name itself, if they see fit to call such blessed and immortal creatures gods, this need not give rise to any serious discussion between us, since in our own Scriptures we read, "The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken;" and again, "Confess to the God of gods;" and again, "He is a great King above all …

And this He saith unto them in irony; as when He said, "Behold, Adam is become as one of us;" and again, "If I were hungry, I would not tell thee." For that no man on earth was righteous, Paul declared, saying, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." And by this too the others …

… comes, not to be judged again, but to judge them who judged Him; He who before held His peace when judged, shall remind the transgressors who did those daring deeds at the Cross, and shall say, These things hast thou done, and I kept silence.
