5 A testimony on Joseph He hath placed it, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known — I hear.
5 Por testimonio en José lo ha constituído, cuando salió por la tierra de Egipto; [donde] oí lenguaje que no entendía.
6 From the burden his shoulder I turned aside, His hands from the basket pass over.

7 In distress thou hast called and I deliver thee, I answer thee in the secret place of thunder, I try thee by the waters of Meribah. Selah.

8 Hear, O My people, and I testify to thee, O Israel, if thou dost hearken to me:
8 Oye, pueblo mío, y te protestaré. Israel, si me oyeres,
9 There is not in thee a strange god, And thou bowest not thyself to a strange god.
9 No habrá en ti dios ajeno, ni te encorvarás á dios extraño.
10 I [am] Jehovah thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it.

11 But, My people hearkened not to My voice, And Israel hath not consented to Me.
11 Mas mi pueblo no oyó mi voz, é Israel no me quiso á mí.
12 And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.
12 Dejélos por tanto á la dureza de su corazón: caminaron en sus consejos.
13 O that My people were hearkening to Me, Israel in My ways would walk.
13 ¡Oh, si me hubiera oído mi pueblo, si en mis caminos hubiera Israel andado!
14 As a little thing their enemies I cause to bow, And against their adversaries I turn back My hand,
14 En una nada habría yo derribado sus enemigos, y vuelto mi mano sobre sus adversarios.
15 Those hating Jehovah feign obedience to Him, But their time is — to the age.
15 Los aborrecedores de Jehová se le hubieran sometido; y el tiempo de ellos fuera para siempre.
16 He causeth him to eat of the fat of wheat, And [with] honey from a rock I satisfy thee!
16 [Y Dios] lo hubiera mantenido de grosura de trigo: y de miel de la piedra te hubiera saciado.

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).
If perchance things obscure demand the office of an interpreter, those things which are evident ought to require of me the office of a reader. The song here is of the Advent of the Lord and of our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of His vineyard.
