YLT Young's Literal Translation
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
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.
1 In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.
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.
2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.
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.
3 Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
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.
4 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
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.
5 For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh, my confidence from my youth.
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.
6 I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you.
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.
7 I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.
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.
8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all day long.
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.
9 Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.
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,
10 For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
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.
11 saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”
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.
12 God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
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.
13 Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
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.
14 But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.
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].
15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure.
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.
16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.
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.
17 God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
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.
18 Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.
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?
19 God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens. You have done great things. God, who is like you?
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.
20 You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
21 Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest — Thou comfortest me,
21 Aumentarás mi grandeza, y volverás á consolarme.
21 Increase my honor and comfort me again.
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.
22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of 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.
23 My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!
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.
24 My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.

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).
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.
