YLT Young's Literal Translation
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.
1 Oración de David. INCLINA, oh Jehová, tu oído, y óyeme; porque estoy afligido y menesteroso.
2 Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Thy servant — who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.
2 Guarda mi alma, porque soy pío: salva tú, oh Dios mío, á tu siervo que en ti, confía.
3 Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.
3 Ten misericordia de mí, oh Jehová: porque á ti clamo todo el día.
4 Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.
4 Alegra el alma de tu siervo: porque á ti, oh Señor, levanto mi alma.
5 For Thou, Lord, [art] good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.
5 Porque tú, Señor, eres bueno y perdonador, y grande en misericordia para con todos los que te invocan.
6 Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.
6 Escucha, oh Jehová, mi oración, y está atento á la voz de mis ruegos.
7 In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.
7 En el día de mi angustia te llamaré: porque tú me respondes.
8 There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.
8 Oh Señor, ninguno hay como tú entre los dioses, [ni obras] que igualen tus obras.
9 All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.
9 Todas las gentes que hiciste vendrán y se humillarán delante de ti, Señor; y glorificarán tu nombre.
10 For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself alone.
10 Porque tú eres grande, y hacedor de maravillas: tú solo eres Dios.
11 Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name.
11 Enséñame, oh Jehová, tu camino; caminaré yo en tu verdad: consolida mi corazón para que tema tu nombre.
12 I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.
12 Te alabaré, oh Jehová Dios mío, con todo mi corazón; y glorificaré tu nombre para siempre.
13 For Thy kindness [is] great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
13 Porque tu misericordia es grande para conmigo; y has librado mi alma del hoyo profundo.
14 O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them,
14 Oh Dios, soberbios se levantaron contra mí, y conspiración de fuertes ha buscado mi alma, y no te pusieron delante de sí.
15 And Thou, O Lord, [art] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.
15 Mas tú, Señor, Dios misericordioso y clemente, lento para la ira, y grande en misericordia y verdad;
16 Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid.
16 Mírame, y ten misericordia de mí: da tu fortaleza á tu siervo, y guarda al hijo de tu sierva.
17 Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me!
17 Haz conmigo señal para bien, y véanla los que me aborrecen, y sean avergonzados; porque tú, Jehová, me ayudaste, y me consolaste.

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 LXXXV)

    Its title is, "A Psalm for the end, to the sons of Core." Let us understand no other end than that of which the Apostle speaks: for, "Christ is the end of the law." Therefore when at the head of the title of the Psalm he placed the words, "for the end," he directed our heart to Christ.

  3. Quotes verse 86:8 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXVII)

    … so too, the Old Testament uses in the same way to correct the souls of the erring, by putting together in a way of comparison things that cannot be compared; as when it saith, "Among the gods there is none like unto Thee, O Lord:" and again, "There is no god like our God." Now some affirm, that Christ said …

  4. Quotes verse 86:4 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon II)

    … I may say of it, think ye that in this "body which presseth down the soul," I shall be able to say (in order that I may speak to you something worthy of the subject), "O Lord, I have lifted up my soul unto Thee." May He assist me, may He lift it up with me.
