His foundation is in the holy mountains.

O Lord, God of my salvation: I have cried out, day and night, in your presence.

Ama Jehová las puertas de Sión más que todas las moradas de Jacob.

The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Let my prayer enter in your sight. Incline your ear to my petition.

Cosas ilustres son dichas de ti, ciudad de Dios. (Selah.)

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. Selah.

For my soul has been filled with evils, and my life has drawn near to Hell.

Yo me acordaré de Rahab y de Babilonia entre los que me conocen: he aquí Palestina, y Tiro, con Etiopía: éste nació allá.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”

I am considered to be among those who will descend into the pit. I have become like a man without assistance,

Y de Sión se dirá: Este y aquél han nacido en ella; y fortificarála el mismo Altísimo.

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” the Most High himself will establish her.

idle among the dead. I am like the wounded sleeping in sepulchers, whom you no longer remember, and who have been repelled by your hand.

Jehová contará cuando se escribieren los pueblos: Este nació allí. (Selah.)

The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

The LORD will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah.

They have lain me in the lower pit: in dark places and in the shadow of death.

Y cantores y tañedores en ella dirán: Todas mis fuentes estarán en ti.

As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”

Your fury has been confirmed over me. And you have brought all your waves upon me.

—

You have sent my acquaintances far from me. They have set me as an abomination to themselves. I was handed over, yet I did not depart.

—

—

—

My eyes languished before destitution. All day long, I cried out to you, O Lord. I stretched out my hands to you.

—

—

—

Will you perform wonders for the dead? Or will physicians raise to life, and so confess to you?

—

—

—

Could anyone declare your mercy in the sepulcher, or your truth from within perdition?

—

—

—

Will your wonders be known in the darkness, or your justice in the land of oblivion?

—

—

—

And I have cried out to you, O Lord, and in early morning, my prayer will come before you.

—

—

—

Lord, why do you reject my prayer? Why do you turn your face away from me?

—

—

—

I am poor, and I have been amid hardships from my youth. And, though I have been exalted, I am humbled and disturbed.

—

—

—

Your wrath has crossed into me, and your terrors have disturbed me.

—

—

—

They have surrounded me like water, all day long. They have surrounded me, all at once.

—

—

—

Friend and neighbor, and my acquaintances, you have sent far away from me, away from misery.
