Notes on this text (2)

1 (65-1) For the Leader. A Psalm. A Song of David. (65-2) Praise waiteth for Thee, O God, in Zion; and unto Thee the vow is performed. 2 (65-3) O Thou that hearest prayer, unto Thee doth all flesh come. 3 (65-4) The tale of iniquities is too heavy for me; as for our transgressions, Thou wilt pardon them. 4 (65-5) Happy is the man whom Thou choosest, and bringest near, that he may dwell in Thy courts; may we be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, the holy place of Thy temple! 5 (65-6) With wondrous works dost Thou answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation; Thou the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the far distant seas; 6 (65-7) Who by Thy strength settest fast the mountains, who art girded about with might; 7 (65-8) Who stillest the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples; 8 (65-9) So that they that dwell in the uttermost parts stand in awe of Thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. 9 (65-10) Thou hast remembered the earth, and watered her, greatly enriching her, with the river of God that is full of water; Thou preparest them corn, for so preparest Thou her. 10 (65-11) Watering her ridges abundantly, settling down the furrows thereof, Thou makest her soft with showers; Thou blessest the growth thereof. 11 (65-12) Thou crownest the year with Thy goodness; and Thy paths drop fatness. 12 (65-13) The pastures of the wilderness do drop; and the hills are girded with joy. 13 (65-14) The meadows are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.

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).
