Notes on this text (1)

1 Salmo. De David. Alabado sea el Dios que me da fuerzas, que enseña a mis manos a usar la espada y a mis dedos a luchar. 2 Él es mi fuerza y mi roca, mi torre alta y mi salvador, mi protector y mi esperanza; me da autoridad sobre mi pueblo. 3 Señor, ¿qué es el ser humano para que lo recuerdes? ¿Qué es el hijo del hombre para que lo tomes en cuenta? 4 El ser humano es como un soplo; su vida es como una sombra que pronto desaparece. 5 Señor, baja de tus cielos; toca las montañas para que echen humo. 6 Hazlos huir con tus relámpagos; lanza tus flechas para destruirlos. 7 Extiende tu mano desde lo alto; libérame y sácame a salvo de las grandes aguas y de las manos de los extranjeros, 8 que dicen mentiras y su mano derecha obra con engaño. 9 Dios, te cantaré un canto nuevo; te cantaré con un instrumento de diez cuerdas. 10 Dios salva a los reyes y libró a su siervo David de la espada que hiere. 11 Libérame de las manos de los extranjeros, que dicen mentiras y su mano derecha obra con engaño. 12 Nuestros hijos son como plantas jóvenes y altas; nuestras hijas, como las piedras brillantes de un palacio. 13 Nuestros depósitos están llenos de cosas buenas; nuestras ovejas dan a luz miles y decenas de miles en nuestros campos. 14 Nuestros bueyes van bien cargados; nuestras vacas dan a luz sin peligro. No hay huidas ni gritos de dolor en nuestras plazas. 15 Feliz la nación que vive así; sí, feliz la nación cuyo Dios es el 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).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CXLIII)

    The title of the Psalm is, "To David himself, when his son was pursuing him." We know from the Books of Kings that this happened:...but we must recognise here another David, truly "strong in hand," which is the explanation of David, even our Lord Jesus Christ. For all those events of past time were figures of things to come.

  2. Quotes verse 144:9 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book III, Chapters VIII–XI)

    And so do men live in opposition to the three and seven, that psaltery "of ten strings," Thy ten commandments, O God most high and most sweet.

  4. Quotes verse 144:7 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book III, Chapters VIII–XI)

    19. And Thou sendedst Thine hand from above, and drewest my soul out of that profound darkness, when my mother, Thy faithful one, wept to thee on my behalf more than mothers are wont to weep the bodily death of their children.

  5. Quotes verse 144:5 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VIII)
