YLT Young's Literal Translation
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age.
1 EN ti, oh Jehová, he esperado; no sea yo confuso para siempre.
2 In Thy righteousness Thou dost deliver me, And dost cause me to escape, Incline unto me Thine ear, and save me.
2 Hazme escapar, y líbrame en tu justicia: inclina tu oído y sálvame.
3 Be to me for a rock — a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou.
3 Séme por peña de estancia, adonde recurra yo continuamente: mandado has que yo sea salvo; porque tú eres mi roca, y mi fortaleza.
4 O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
4 Dios mío, líbrame de la mano del impío, de la mano del perverso y violento.
5 For Thou [art] my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth.
5 Porque tú, oh Señor Jehová, eres mi esperanza: seguridad mía desde mi juventud.
6 By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee [is] my praise continually.
6 Por ti he sido sustentado desde el vientre: de las entrañas de mi madre tú fuiste el que me sacaste: de ti será siempre mi alabanza.
7 As a wonder I have been to many, And Thou [art] my strong refuge.
7 Como prodigio he sido á muchos; y tú mi refugio fuerte.
8 Filled is my mouth [with] Thy praise, All the day [with] Thy beauty.
8 Sea llena mi boca de tu alabanza, de tu gloria todo el día.
9 Cast me not off at the time of old age, According to the consumption of my power forsake me not.
9 No me deseches en el tiempo de la vejez; cuando mi fuerza se acabare, no me desampares.
10 For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
10 Porque mis enemigos han tratado de mí; y los que acechan mi alma, consultaron juntamente,
11 Saying, 'God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.'
11 Diciendo: Dios lo ha dejado: perseguid y tomadle, porque no hay quien le libre.
12 O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make haste.
12 Oh Dios, no te alejes de mí: Dios mío, acude presto á mi socorro.
13 They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
13 Sean avergonzados, fallezcan los adversarios de mi alma; sean cubiertos de vergüenza y de confusión los que mi mal buscan.
14 And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise.
14 Mas yo siempre esperaré, y añadiré sobre toda tu alabanza.
15 My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
15 Mi boca publicará tu justicia y tu salud todo el día, aunque no sé el número [de ellas].
16 I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness — Thine only.
16 Vendré á las valentías del Señor Jehová: haré memoria de sola tu justicia.
17 God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.
17 Oh Dios, enseñásteme desde mi mocedad; y hasta ahora he manifestado tus maravillas.
18 And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.
18 Y aun hasta la vejez y las canas; oh Dios, no me desampares, hasta que denuncie tu brazo á la posteridad, tus valentías á todos los que han de venir.
19 And Thy righteousness, O God, [is] unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who [is] like Thee?
19 Y tu justicia, oh Dios, hasta lo excelso; porque has hecho grandes cosas: oh Dios, ¿quién como tú?
20 Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back — Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back — Thou bringest me up.
20 Tú, que me has hecho ver muchas angustias y males, volverás á darme vida, y de nuevo me levantarás de los abismos de la tierra.
21 Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest — Thou comfortest me,
21 Aumentarás mi grandeza, y volverás á consolarme.
22 I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
22 Asimismo yo te alabaré con instrumento de salterio, oh Dios mío: tu verdad cantaré yo á ti en el arpa, oh Santo de Israel.
23 My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,
23 Mis labios cantarán cuando á ti salmeare, y mi alma, á la cual redimiste.
24 My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed — because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
24 Mi lengua hablará también de tu justicia todo el día: por cuanto fueron avergonzados, porque fueron confusos los que mi mal procuraban.

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 LXX)

    Thanks to the "Corn of wheat," because He willed to die and to be multiplied: thanks to the only Son of God, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who disdained not to undergo our death, in order that He might make us worthy of His life.

  3. Quotes verse 71:3 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapters XXV–XXVI)

    Accordingly we find the Psalmist, even in reference to God, saying "Be Thou to me a champion God and a strong place to save me" and concerning the Spirit "behold there is place by me, and stand upon a rock." Plainly meaning the place or contemplation in the Spirit wherein, after Moses had entered thither, he was able to see …
