Notes on this text (2)

1 A Psalme of Asaph. The God of Gods, euen the Lord hath spoken and called the earth from the rising vp of the sunne vnto the going downe thereof. 2 Out of Zion, which is the perfection of beautie, hath God shined. 3 Our God shall come and shall not keepe silence: a fire shall deuoure before him, and a mightie tempest shall be mooued round about him. 4 Hee shall call the heauen aboue, and the earth to iudge his people. 5 Gather my Saints together vnto me, those that make a couenant with me with sacrifice. 6 And the heauens shall declare his righteousnes: for God is iudge himselfe. Selah. 7 Heare, O my people, and I wil speake: heare, O Israel, and I wil testifie vnto thee: for I am God, euen thy God. 8 I wil not reproue thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt offerings, that haue not bene continually before me. 9 I will take no bullocke out of thine house, nor goates out of thy foldes. 10 For all the beastes of the forest are mine, and the beastes on a thousand mountaines. 11 I knowe all the foules on the mountaines: and the wilde beastes of the fielde are mine. 12 If I bee hungry, I will not tell thee: for the world is mine, and all that therein is. 13 Will I eate the flesh of bulles? or drinke the blood of goates? 14 Offer vnto God praise, and pay thy vowes vnto the most High, 15 And call vpon me in the day of trouble: so will I deliuer thee, and thou shalt glorifie me. 16 But vnto the wicked said God, What hast thou to doe to declare mine ordinances, that thou shouldest take my couenant in thy mouth, 17 Seeing thou hatest to bee reformed, and hast cast my wordes behinde thee? 18 For when thou seest a thiefe, thou runnest with him, and thou art partaker with the adulterers. 19 Thou giuest thy mouth to euill, and with thy tongue thou forgest deceit. 20 Thou sittest, and speakest against thy brother, and slanderest thy mothers sonne. 21 These things hast thou done, and I held my tongue: therefore thou thoughtest that I was like thee: but I will reproue thee, and set them in order before thee. 22 Oh cosider this, ye that forget God, least I teare you in pieces, and there be none that can deliuer you. 23 He that offereth praise, shall glorifie mee: and to him, that disposeth his way aright, will I shew the saluation of God.

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 XLIX)

    "Hear ye these things, all ye nations" (ver. 1). Not then you only who are here. For of what power is our voice so to cry out, as that all nations may hear?

  3. Quotes verse 50:1 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book IX, Chapter 23)

    And regarding the name itself, if they see fit to call such blessed and immortal creatures gods, this need not give rise to any serious discussion between us, since in our own Scriptures we read, "The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken;" and again, "Confess to the God of gods;" and again, "He is a great King above all …

    And this He saith unto them in irony; as when He said, "Behold, Adam is become as one of us;" and again, "If I were hungry, I would not tell thee." For that no man on earth was righteous, Paul declared, saying, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." And by this too the others …
