BIBLIACATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Cántico. Salmo. De los hijos de Coré.
1 Unto the end. A Psalm to the sons of Korah.
2 Grande es Yahveh, y muy digno de loa
en la ciudad de nuestro Dios;
su monte santo,
2 Hear these things, all nations. Pay attention, all inhabitants of the world:
3 de gallarda esbeltez,
es la alegría de toda la tierra;
el monte Sión, confín del Norte,
la ciudad del gran Rey:
3 whoever is earth-born, you sons of men, together as one, the rich and the poor.
4 Dios, desde sus palacios,
se ha revelado como baluarte.
4 My mouth will speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart will speak prudence.
5 He aquí que los reyes se habían aliado,
irrumpían a una;
5 I will incline my ear to a parable. I will open my case with the psaltery.
6 apenas vieron, de golpe estupefactos,
aterrados, huyeron en tropel.
6 Why should I fear in the evil day? The iniquity at my heel will surround me.
7 Allí un temblor les invadió,
espasmos como de mujer en parto,
7 Those who trust in their own strength and who glory in the multitude of their riches,
8 tal el viento del este que destroza
los navíos de Tarsis.
8 no brother redeems, nor will man buy back. He will not give to God his appeasement,
9 Como habíamos oído lo hemos visto
en la ciudad de Yahveh Sebaot,
en la ciudad de nuestro Dios,
que Dios afirmó para siempre. Pausa.
9 nor the price for the redemption of his soul. And he will labor continuously,
10 Tu amor, oh Dios, evocamos
en medio de tu Templo;
10 and he will still live, until the end.
11 ¡como tu nombre, oh Dios, tu alabanza
hasta los confines de la tierra!
De justicia está llena tu diestra,
11 He will not see death, when he sees the wise dying: the foolish and the senseless will perish together. And they will leave their riches to strangers.
12 el monte Sión se regocija,
exultan las hijas de Judá
a causa de tus juicios.
12 And their sepulchers will be their houses forever, their tabernacles from generation to generation. They have called their names in their own lands.
13 Dad la vuelta a Sión, girad en torno de ella,
enumerad sus torres;
13 And man, when he was held in honor, did not understand. He has been compared to the senseless beasts, and he has become like them.
14 grabad en vuestros corazones sus murallas,
recorred sus palacios;
para contar a la edad venidera
14 This way of theirs is a scandal to them. And afterwards, they will delight in their mouth.
15 que así es Dios,
nuestro Dios por los siglos de los siglos,
aquel que nos conduce.
15 They have been placed in Hell like sheep. Death will feed on them. And the just will have dominion over them in the morning. And their help will grow old in Hell for their glory.
16 Even so, truly God will redeem my soul from the hand of Hell, when he will receive me.
17 Do not be afraid, when a man will have been made rich, and when the glory of his house will have been multiplied.
18 For when he dies, he will take nothing away, and his glory will not descend with him.
19 For his soul will be blessed in his lifetime, and he will admit to you when you do good to him.
20 He will even enter with the progeny of his fathers, but, even in eternity, he will not see the light.
21 Man, when he was in honor, did not understand. He has been compared to the senseless beasts, and he has become like them.
