1 Para el director de música. Según Al-tasjet. Mictam. De David. ¿Hablan con justicia, dioses? ¿Juzgan rectamente, seres humanos? 2 En su corazón planean el mal; sus manos están llenas de actos crueles en la tierra. 3 Los malvados se apartan desde el principio; desde que nacen se desvían del buen camino y dicen mentiras. 4 Su veneno es como el de una serpiente; son como una víbora que se niega a oír, 5 que no escucha la voz del encantador, por hábil que este sea. 6 Rómpeles los dientes, Dios; arráncales los colmillos a esos leones jóvenes, Señor. 7 Que se disuelvan como agua que corre; que sean cortados como la hierba junto al camino. 8 Que sean como un caracol que se deshace al avanzar; como una criatura que nace antes de tiempo y nunca ve el sol. 9 Antes de que se den cuenta, que sean cortados como espinos; que un viento fuerte los arrastre como maleza. 10 El justo se alegrará al ver su castigo; se lavará los pies en la sangre del malvado. 11 Entonces la gente dirá: «En verdad hay recompensa para el justo; en verdad hay un Dios que juzga en la tierra».

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).
Because then this Psalm is singing of the Passion of the Lord, see what is the title that it hath: "at the end." The end is Christ. Why hath He been called end? Not as one that consumeth, but one that consummateth....

As also David says, "The alienated are sinners from the womb: they go astray as soon as they are born." And it was on account of this that he, turning them to their Lord, prepared, in the spirit and power of Elias, a perfect people for the Lord.
