WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
2 “You really think you're special people, don't you? Obviously when you die, wisdom will die with you!
2 Ciertamente que vosotros sois el pueblo; y con vosotros morirá la sabiduría.
2 “No doubt, but you are the people, and wisdom will die with you.
3 But I too have insights, and you're no better than me. Doesn't everyone know the things you've said?
3 También tengo yo seso como vosotros; no soy yo menos que vosotros: ¿y quién habrá que no pueda decir otro tanto?
3 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Yes, who doesn’t know such things as these?
4 But my friends laugh at me because I called on God and he answered me: the innocent man who does right has become an object of derision.
4 Yo soy uno de quien su amigo se mofa, que invoca á Dios, y él le responde: con todo, el justo y perfecto es escarnecido.
4 I am like one who is a joke to his neighbor, I, who called on God, and he answered. The just, the blameless man is a joke.
5 People who are comfortable have contempt for those who are in trouble, ready to push over those who are already slipping.
5 Aquel cuyos pies van á resbalar, [es como] una lámpara despreciada de aquel que está á sus anchuras.
5 In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune. It is ready for them whose foot slips.
6 Robbers live in peace, and those who make God angry live in safety, trusting their own strength as their ‘god.’
6 Prosperan las tiendas de los ladrones, y los que provocan á Dios viven seguros; en cuyas manos él ha puesto [cuanto tienen].
6 The tents of robbers prosper. Those who provoke God are secure, who carry their god in their hands.
7 But if you ask the animals they will teach you, the birds in the sky will tell you;
7 Y en efecto, pregunta ahora á las bestias, que ellas te enseñarán; y á las aves de los cielos, que ellas te lo mostrarán:
7 “But ask the animals now, and they will teach you; the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.
8 ask the earth and it will teach you, and the fishes in the sea will tell you.
8 O habla á la tierra, que ella te enseñará; los peces de la mar te [lo] declararán también.
8 Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you. The fish of the sea will declare to you.
9 Which of all these doesn't know that the Lord has done this?
9 ¿Qué cosa de todas estas no entiende que la mano de Jehová la hizo?
9 Who doesn’t know that in all these, Yahweh’s hand has done this,
10 He gives life to every living thing, life to all humankind.
10 En su mano está el alma de todo viviente, y el espíritu de toda carne humana.
10 in whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind?
11 The ear distinguishes words just like the palate distinguishes foods.
11 Ciertamente el oído distingue las palabras, y el paladar gusta las viandas.
11 Doesn’t the ear try words, even as the palate tastes its food?
12 Wisdom to distinguish belongs to the old, and the ability to rightly discriminate belongs to those with long experience.
12 En los viejos está la ciencia, y en la larga edad la inteligencia.
12 With aged men is wisdom, in length of days understanding.
13 God has wisdom and power, counsel and understanding belong to him.
13 Con Dios está la sabiduría y la fortaleza; suyo es el consejo y la inteligencia.
13 “With God is wisdom and might. He has counsel and understanding.
14 If he tears something down, nobody can rebuild it. If he imprisons someone, nobody can free them.
14 He aquí, él derribará, y no será edificado: encerrará al hombre, y no habrá quien le abra.
14 Behold, he breaks down, and it can’t be built again. He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.
15 If God holds back the waters, everything dries up; if he releases the waters, the earth floods.
15 He aquí, él detendrá las aguas, y se secarán; él las enviará, y destruirán la tierra.
15 Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up. Again, he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.
16 He is mighty and victorious; both deceivers and those deceived are subject to him.
16 Con él está la fortaleza y la existencia; suyo es el que yerra, y el que hace errar.
16 With him is strength and wisdom. The deceived and the deceiver are his.
17 He leads counselors away stripped of their wisdom, he makes judges into fools.
17 El hace andar á los consejeros desnudos [de consejo], y hace enloquecer á los jueces.
17 He leads counselors away stripped. He makes judges fools.
18 He removes the chains of office from kings and makes them wear loincloths.
18 El suelta la atadura de los tiranos, y ata el cinto á sus lomos.

22 El descubre las profundidades de las tinieblas, y saca á luz la sombra de muerte.
22 He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.
23 He makes nations great and he destroys them; he expands nations and ruins them.
23 El multiplica las gentes, y él las destruye: él esparce las gentes, y las torna á recoger.
23 He increases the nations, and he destroys them. He enlarges the nations, and he leads them captive.
24 He removes the understanding of rulers and makes them wander in the wilderness.
24 El quita el seso de las cabezas del pueblo de la tierra, y háceles que se pierdan vagueando sin camino:
24 He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
25 They grope around in the dark without a light. He makes them stagger like drunk people.”
25 Van á tientas como en tinieblas y sin luz, y los hace errar como borrachos.
25 They grope in the dark without light. He makes them stagger like a drunken man.

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).
Speak to the earth, if perchance it may teach thee: and though thou inquire of all things which are upon the earth, they shall not be able to tell thee.
