5
Con grandes prodigios nos respondes en justicia, oh Dios de nuestra salvación, confianza de todos los términos de la tierra, y del más lejano mar;
6
tú, el que afirma los montes con su poder, ceñido de potencia;
7
el que calma el rugido de los mares, el estruendo de las olas, y el tumulto de los pueblos.
8
Por eso los que moran en los confines de la tierra temen tus obras, tú haces cantar de júbilo a la aurora y al ocaso.
9
Tú visitas la tierra y la riegas en abundancia, en gran manera la enriqueces; el río de Dios rebosa de agua; tú les preparas su grano, porque así preparas la tierra.
10
Riegas sus surcos abundantemente, allanas sus camellones, la ablandas con lluvias, bendices sus renuevos.
11
Tú has coronado el año con tus bienes, y tus huellas destilan grosura.
12
Destilan los pastos del desierto, y los collados se ciñen de alegría.
13
Las praderas se visten de rebaños, y los valles se cubren de grano; dan voces de júbilo, sí, cantan.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm [and] Song of David. Some copies of the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions read "a song of Jeremiah and Ezekiel, "sung" by the people of the captivity, when they were about to come out;" and some copies have "Haggai": but though it is possible it might be sung upon that occasion, it is certain it was not then composed, but was written by David, as the genuine title shows: as for Jeremiah; he was not carried captive to Babylon, and Ezekiel died before the return of the people from it; nor is there anything in the psalm relating to that captivity. The title of it, indeed, in the Arabic version, is concerning the captivity of the people; which it seems to have taken from some Greek copy; and Kimchi and Arama interpret it of the captivity of the people of the Jews; but then they mean their present captivity, and their deliverance from it. According to the title of it in the Syriac version, the occasion of it was the bringing up of the ark of God to Sion; and Aben Ezra is of opinion that David composed the psalm at that time; or that one of the singers composed it at the building of the temple, and which he thinks is right, and perhaps is concluded from Psalm 65:1; and who also says it was composed in a year of drought; but it rather seems to have been written in a year of great plenty, as the latter part of it shows; and the whole seems to respect the fruitful, flourishing, and happy state of the church in Gospel times, for which it is a song of praise.
