1 The words of king Lamuel. The vision wherewith his mother instructed him.
1 PALABRAS del rey Lemuel; la profecía con que le enseñó su madre.
1 The words of King Lemuel—the revelation which his mother taught him:
2 What, O my beloved, what, O the beloved of my womb, what, O the beloved of my vows?
2 ¿Qué, hijo mío? ¿y qué, hijo de mi vientre? ¿y qué, hijo de mis deseos?
2 “Oh, my son! Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!
3 Give not thy substance to women, and thy riches to destroy kings.
3 No des á las mujeres tu fuerza, ni tus caminos á lo que es para destruir los reyes.
3 Don’t give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
4 Give not to kings, O Lamuel, give not wine to kings: because there is no secret where drunkenness reigneth:
4 No es de los reyes, oh Lemuel, no es de los reyes beber vino, ni de los príncipes la cerveza.
4 It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?’
5 And lest they drink and forget judgments, and pervert the cause of the children of the poor.
5 No sea que bebiendo olviden la ley, y perviertan el derecho de todos los hijos afligidos.
5 lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to them that are sad: and wine to them that are grieved in mind:
6 Dad la cerveza al desfallecido, y el vino á los de amargo ánimo:
6 Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish, and wine to the bitter in soul.
7 Let them drink, and forget their want, and remember their sorrow no more.
7 Beban, y olvídense de su necesidad, y de su miseria no más se acuerden.
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
8 Open thy mouth for the dumb, and for the causes of all the children that pass.
8 Abre tu boca por el mudo, en el juicio de todos los hijos de muerte.
8 Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.
9 Open thy mouth, decree that which is just, and do justice to the needy and poor.
9 Abre tu boca, juzga justicia, y el derecho del pobre y del menesteroso.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy.”

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
And mercy is in His tongue, therefore mercifully teacheth He the law, as it is said regarding wisdom, "The law and mercy doth she carry in her tongue." Do not fear that thou art not able to fulfill the law, flee to mercy.
