9 Como polvo en lugar de pan y mezclo mi bebida con lágrimas,
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,
10 a causa de tu enojo y tu ira, pues me levantaste y luego me derribaste.
10 because of your indignation and your wrath; for you have taken me up and thrown me away.

19 Desde su lugar santo el Señor miró; desde el cielo contempló la tierra,
19 for he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth,
20 para escuchar el gemido de los presos y liberar a los condenados a muerte,
20 to hear the groans of the prisoner, to free those who are condemned to death,
21 para que proclamen el nombre del Señor en Sión y lo alaben en Jerusalén,
21 that men may declare Yahweh’s name in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,
22 cuando los pueblos y los reinos se reúnan para adorar al Señor.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
In this Psalm, we ought to seek in the whole body of it what we find in the first verse: "Mercy and judgment will I sing unto Thee, O Lord" (ver. 1).

The children of Thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established for ever;" pointing out plainly what things they are that pass away, and who it is that doth endure for ever--God, together with His servants.
So, then, by a humble piety we return to Thee; and thou purgest us from our evil customs, and art merciful unto the sins of those who confess unto Thee, and dost "hear the groaning of the prisoner," and dost loosen us from those fetters which we have forged for ourselves, if we lift not up against Thee the horns …

On this account also one hath said, "My days have failed like smoke." He indeed was referring to their shortness of duration, and to their unsubstantial nature, but I would say that we should take what is said, not in this sense alone, but also as to their turbid character.

Hear David the Prophet saying, Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Thy hands; they shall perish, but Thou remainest.
