Notes on this text (1)
- Greek and Latin Bibles number most Psalms one lower than Hebrew and English Bibles.
1 God of vengeance — Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.
1 JEHOVÁ, Dios de las venganzas, Dios de las venganzas, muéstrate.
2 Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.
2 Ensálzate, oh Juez de la tierra: da el pago á los soberbios.
3 Till when [do] the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?
3 ¿Hasta cuándo los impíos, hasta cuándo, oh Jehová, se gozarán los impíos?
4 They utter — they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.
4 ¿Hasta cuándo pronunciarán, hablarán cosas duras, y se vanagloriarán todos los que obran iniquidad?
5 Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.
5 A tu pueblo, oh Jehová, quebrantan, y á tu heredad afligen.
6 Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.
6 A la viuda y al extanjero matan, y á los huérfanos quitan la vida.
7 And they say, 'Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.'
7 Y dijeron: No verá JAH, ni entenderá el Dios de Jacob.
8 Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?
8 Entended, necios del pueblo; y vosotros fatuos, ¿cuándo seréis sabios?
9 He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?
9 El que plantó el oído, ¿no oirá? el que formó el ojo, ¿no verá?
10 He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] Jehovah.
10 El que castiga las gentes, ¿no reprenderá? ¿no sabrá el que enseña al hombre la ciencia?
11 He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
11 Jehová conoce los pensamientos de los hombres, que son vanidad.
12 O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,
12 Bienaventurado el hombre á quien tú, JAH, castigares, y en tu ley lo instruyeres;
13 To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.
13 Para tranquilizarle en los días de aflicción, en tanto que para el impío se cava el hoyo.
14 For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.
14 Porque no dejará Jehová su pueblo, ni desamparará su heredad;
15 For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,
15 Sino que el juicio será vuelto á justicia, y en pos de ella irán todos los rectos de corazón.
16 Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?
16 ¿Quién se levantará por mí contra los malignos? ¿quién estará por mí contra los que obran iniquidad?
17 Unless Jehovah [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.
17 Si no me ayudara Jehová, presto morara mi alma en el silencio.
18 If I have said, 'My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.
18 Cuando yo decía: Mi pie resbala: tu misericordia, oh Jehová, me sustentaba.
19 In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
19 En la multitud de mis pensamientos dentro de mí, tus consolaciones alegraban mi alma.
20 Is a throne of mischief joined [with] Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?
20 ¿Juntaráse contigo el trono de iniquidades, que forma agravio en el mandamiento?
21 They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.
21 Pónense en corros contra la vida del justo, y condenan la sangre inocente.
22 And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock — my refuge,
22 Mas Jehová me ha sido por refugio; y mi Dios por roca de mi confianza.
23 And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off!
23 Y él hará tornar sobre ellos su iniquidad, y los destruirá por su propia maldad; los talará Jehová nuestro Dios.

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).
It is entitled, "The Song of praise of David himself, on the day before the Sabbath, when the earth was founded." Remembering then what God did through all those days, when He made and ordained all things, from the first up to the sixth day (for the seventh He sanctified, because He rested on that day after all the works, …

… hard to find: not that thou shouldest shew thy conscience to me, for thou art not to be judged of man's judgment; but that thou shew the sincerity of thy faith to God, who trieth the reins and hearts, and knoweth the thoughts of men.

Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him?" Now the word "who" in this passage does not mean absolute impossibility, but rarity, as in the passage "Who will rise up for me against the evil doers?" and "What man is he that desireth life?" and "Who shall ascend into the hill of the …

… faith in this fleeting course of time, and sojourns as a stranger in the midst of the ungodly, or as it shall dwell in the fixed stability of its eternal seat, which it now with patience waits for, expecting until "righteousness shall return unto judgment," and it obtain, by virtue of its excellence, final victory and perfect peace.
