Notes on this text (1)

1 Alaben al Señor, pues es bueno cantar a nuestro Dios; la alabanza es agradable y hermosa. 2 El Señor reconstruye Jerusalén y reúne a los desterrados de Israel. 3 Sana a los que tienen el corazón destrozado y pone aceite en sus heridas. 4 Conoce el número de las estrellas y da un nombre a cada una. 5 Grande es nuestro Señor y grande es su poder; su sabiduría no tiene límite. 6 El Señor ayuda a los pobres en espíritu, pero humilla a los pecadores. 7 Canten alabanzas al Señor; canten a nuestro Dios con instrumentos de música. 8 Cubre el cielo de nubes, guarda lluvia para la tierra y hace crecer alta la hierba en las montañas. 9 Da alimento a todos los animales y a los cuervos jóvenes cuando claman. 10 No se alegra en la fuerza de un caballo ni se complace en las piernas de un hombre. 11 El Señor se complace en quienes lo adoran y esperan en su misericordia. 12 Alaba al Señor, Jerusalén; alaba a tu Dios, Sión. 13 Ha reforzado las barras de hierro de tus puertas y ha bendecido a tus hijos dentro de tus murallas. 14 Da paz a toda tu tierra y llena tus depósitos de buen grano. 15 Envía sus órdenes a la tierra; su palabra corre veloz. 16 Da nieve como lana y esparce pequeñas gotas de hielo como polvo. 17 Hace caer hielo como gotas de lluvia; su frío endurece el agua. 18 Cuando pronuncia su palabra, el hielo se convierte en agua; envía su viento y las aguas corren. 19 Da a conocer su palabra a Jacob; enseña a Israel sus leyes y sus juicios. 20 No ha hecho esto por ninguna otra nación; ellas no conocen sus leyes. ¡Alaben 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).

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

    Behold the Psalm soundeth; it is the voice of some one (and that some one are ye, if ye will), of some one encouraging his soul to praise God, and saying to himself, "Praise the Lord, O my soul" (ver. 1).

  2. Quotes verse 147:5 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XII, Chapters 16–18)

    … bringeth out their host by number." And the Saviour says in the Gospel, "The very hairs of your head are all numbered." Far be it, then, from us to doubt that all number is known to Him "whose understanding," according to the Psalmist, "is infinite." The infinity of number, though there be no numbering of infinite numbers, is yet not …

  3. Quotes verse 147:9 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXI)

    … lesson David also lays the foundation from old time, saying enigmatically on this wise, "Thou openest Thine hand, and fillest every living thing with bounty;" and again, "To Him that giveth to the beasts their food, and to the young ravens that call upon Him." "Who then," it may be said, "have not taken thought"?

  4. Quotes verse 147:4 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture VI)

    Thou beholdest the stars, but their Maker thou beholdest not: count these which are visible, and then describe Him who is invisible, Who telleth the number of the stars, and calleth them all by their names.

    Know you the bond of Pleiades, or the fence of Orion as He who counteth the number of the stars and calleth them all by their names? Know you the differences of the glory of each, and the order of their movement, that I should trust you, when by them you weave the web of human concerns, and arm the …
