Notes on this text (3)

1 For the end, for them that shall yet be changed; for an inscription by David for instruction, 2 when he [had] burned Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Sobal, and Joab [had] returned and smitten [in] the valley of salt twelve thousand. 3 O God, thou hast rejected and destroyed us; thou hast been angry, yet hast pitied us. 4 Thou hast shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken. 5 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things: thou hast made us drink the wine of astonishment. 6 Thou hast given a token to them that fear thee, that they might flee from the bow. Pause. 7 That thy beloved ones may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me. 8 God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents. 9 Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; 10 Judas is my king; Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me. 11 Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far as Idumea? 12 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our forces? 13 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man. 14 In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nought them that harass us.

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: 60.

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 LIX)

    As the Scripture is wont to set mysteries of the Psalms on the titles, and to deck the brow of a Psalm with the high announcement of a Mystery, in order that we that are about to go in may know (when as it were upon the door-post we have read what within is doing) either of whom the house …

    But first passeth away the tribulation of this life, out of which He giveth us help, to whom we have said, "Give us help from tribulation." And all this life is indeed a tribulation to the understanding.
