LXXUP Updated Brenton English Septuagint
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 A Song of Degrees. O Lord, my heart is not exalted, Neither have mine eyes been [haughtily] raised: Neither have I exercised myself in great [matters], Nor in things too wonderful for me.
131:1 Cántico gradual: de David. JEHOVÁ, no se ha envanecido mi corazón, ni mis ojos se enaltecieron; ni anduve en grandezas, ni en cosas para mí demasiado sublimes.
2 [I shall have sinned] if I have not been humble, But have exalted my soul: According to [the relation of] a weaned child to his mother, So wilt thou recompense my soul.
131:2 En verdad que me he comportado y he acallado mi alma, como un niño destetado de su madre: como un niño destetado está mi alma.
3 Let Israel hope in the Lord, From henceforth and forever.
131:3 Espera, oh Israel, en Jehová desde ahora y para siempre.

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). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 131.

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 CXXX)

    (ver. 1). Jonas cried from the deep; from the whale's belly. He was not only beneath the waves, but also in the entrails of the beast; nevertheless, those waves and that body prevented not his prayer from reaching God, and the beast's belly could not contain the voice of his prayer.
