Notes on this text (2)

1 A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy. 2 Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee. 3 Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually. 4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule. 5 For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee. 6 Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication. 7 In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me. 8 Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes. 9 All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name. 10 For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone. 11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walke in thy trueth: knit mine heart vnto thee, that I may feare thy Name. 12 I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer. 13 For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. 14 O God, the proude are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men haue sought my soule, and haue not set thee before them. 15 But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth. 16 Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd. 17 Shew a token of thy goodnes towarde me, that they which hate me, may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, O Lord, hast holpen me and comforted me.

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 LXXXV)

    Its title is, "A Psalm for the end, to the sons of Core." Let us understand no other end than that of which the Apostle speaks: for, "Christ is the end of the law." Therefore when at the head of the title of the Psalm he placed the words, "for the end," he directed our heart to Christ.

  3. Quotes verse 86:8 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXVII)

    … so too, the Old Testament uses in the same way to correct the souls of the erring, by putting together in a way of comparison things that cannot be compared; as when it saith, "Among the gods there is none like unto Thee, O Lord:" and again, "There is no god like our God." Now some affirm, that Christ said …

  4. Quotes verse 86:4 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon II)

    … I may say of it, think ye that in this "body which presseth down the soul," I shall be able to say (in order that I may speak to you something worthy of the subject), "O Lord, I have lifted up my soul unto Thee." May He assist me, may He lift it up with me.
