Notes on this text (1)
MSB Majority Standard Bible
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 A Psalm of David. O LORD, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy mountain?
1 A Psalm by David. Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?
2 He who walks with integrity and practices righteousness, who speaks the truth from his heart,
2 He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;
3 who has no slander on his tongue, who does no harm to his neighbor, who casts no scorn on his friend,
3 he who doesn’t slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;
4 who despises the vile but honors those who fear the LORD, who does not revise a costly oath,
4 in whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear Yahweh; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;
5 who lends his money without interest and refuses a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
5 he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.

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 XIV)

    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.
