Notes on this text (2)

1 A song or Psalme of David. O God, mine heart is prepared, so is my tongue: I will sing and giue praise. 2 Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early. 3 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations. 4 For thy mercy is great aboue the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the clouds. 5 Exalt thy self, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glorie be vpon all the earth, 6 That thy beloued may be deliuered: helpe with thy right hand and heare me. 7 God hath spoken in his holinesse: therefore I will reioyce, I shall deuide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth. 8 Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iuda is my lawgiuer. 9 Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edom wil I cast out my shoe: vpon Palestina wil I triumph. 10 Who will leade mee into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom? 11 Wilt not thou, O God, which haddest forsaken vs, and diddest not goe foorth, O God, with our armies? 12 Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man. 13 Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall treade downe our enemies.

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).

    His true glory, therefore, in the Catholic Church is celebrated in these words by the prophet: "Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and Thy glory above all the earth." Accordingly, that after His exaltation the Holy Spirit was to come, and to glorify Him, the sacred psalm, and the Only-begotten Himself, promised as an event of the future, …
