YLT Young's Literal Translation
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. — An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, 'Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.
1 Al Músico principal: en Neginoth: Masquil de David, cuando vinieron los Zipheos y dijeron á Saúl: ¿No está David escondido en nuestra tierra? OH Dios, sálvame por tu nombre, y con tu poder defiéndeme.
2 O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,
2 Oh Dios, oye mi oración; escucha las razones de mi boca.
3 For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.
3 Porque extraños se han levantado contra mí, y fuertes buscan mi alma: no han puesto á Dios delante de sí. (Selah.)
4 Lo, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,
4 He aquí, Dios es el que me ayuda; el Señor es con los que sostienen mi vida.
5 Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.
5 El volverá el mal á mis enemigos: córtalos por tu verdad.
6 With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for [it is] good,
6 Voluntariamente sacrificaré á ti; alabaré tu nombre, oh Jehová, porque es bueno.
7 For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked!
7 Porque me ha librado de toda angustia, y en mis enemigos vieron mis ojos [mi deseo].

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 LIII)

    Of this Psalm we undertake to treat with you, as far as the Lord supplieth us. A brother biddeth us that we may have the will, and prayeth that we may have the power.
