1 A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, who sojourns in Your tent? Who dwells in Your holy hill? 2 He who is walking uprightly, || And working righteousness, || And speaking truth in his heart. 3 He has not slandered by his tongue, || He has not done evil to his friend; And he has not lifted up reproach || Against his neighbor. 4 A rejected one [is] despised in his eyes, || And he honors those fearing YHWH. He has sworn to endure evil, and does not change; 5 He has not given his silver in usury, || And has not taken a bribe against the innocent; Whoever is doing these is not moved for all time!

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).
What "to the end" means, must not be too often repeated. "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth;" as the Apostle saith. We believe on Him, when we begin to enter on the good road: we shall see Him, when we shall get to the end. And therefore is He the end.
