WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 Is there not a time of service to man upon earth? And are not his days like the days of a hireling?
1 “Isn’t a man forced to labor on earth? Aren’t his days like the days of a hired hand?
2 As a servant that eagerly longeth for the shadow, and as a hireling that looketh for his wages;
2 As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow, as a hireling who looks for his wages,
3 So am I made to possess — months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

4 When I lie down, I say: 'When shall I arise?' But the night is long, and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.

5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin closeth up and breaketh out afresh.
5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.
6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.

7 O remember that my life is a breath; mine eye shall no more see good.

8 The eye of him that seeth me shall behold me no more; while Thine eyes are upon me, I am gone.
8 The eye of him who sees me will see me no more. Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.
9 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.
9 As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol will come up no more.
10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
10 He will return no more to his house, neither will his place know him any more.
11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
11 “Therefore I will not keep silent. I will speak in the anguish of my spirit. I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, that Thou settest a watch over me?
12 Am I a sea, or a sea monster, that you put a guard over me?
13 When I say: 'My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint';
13 When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me. My couch will ease my complaint,’
14 Then Thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions;
14 then you scare me with dreams and terrify me through visions,
15 So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than these my bones.
15 so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.
16 I loathe it; I shall not live alway; let me alone; for my days are vanity.
16 I loathe my life. I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
17 What is man, that Thou shouldest magnify him, and that Thou shouldest set Thy heart upon him,
17 What is man, that you should magnify him, that you should set your mind on him,
18 And that Thou shouldest remember him every morning, and try him every moment?
18 that you should visit him every morning, and test him every moment?
19 How long wilt Thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
19 How long will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle?
20 If I have sinned, what do I unto Thee, O Thou watcher of men? Why hast Thou set me as a mark for Thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
20 If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, so that I am a burden to myself?
21 And why dost Thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust; and Thou wilt seek me, but I shall not be.
21 Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now will I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”

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).

  1. Cita 7:16 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXIII)

    "For I shall not live alway, that I should suffer long." Next, his being conscious to himself of many good works.
