1 Salmo de David. Señor, te doy gracias de todo corazón. Cantaré tus alabanzas delante de los dioses. 2 Al adorarte me inclino ante tu santo templo. Agradeceré a tu nombre por tu gran amor y fidelidad. Porque has exaltado tu nombre y tu palabra por sobre todas las cosas. 3 Cuando oro me respondes y me animas dándome la fuerza que necesito. 4 Todos los reyes de la tierra te darán gracias, Señor, porque todos ellos oirán tus palabras. 5 Sí, cantarán de los caminos del Señor, porque la gloria del Señor es muy grande. 6 Aunque el Señor es grande, toma en cuenta a los humildes, y está lejos de los orgullosos. 7 Aunque me rodeen tribulaciones, tú me librarás de la ira de mis enemigos. Contra el enojo de mis enemigos extenderás tu mano. Tu poder me salvará. 8 El Señor cumplirá sus planes para mi vida. Porque tu gran amor, Señor; es para siempre. No me abandones, pues tú me hiciste.

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).
But to-day we have sung, "By the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept, when we remembered Sion" (ver. 1).... 2. Observe "the waters of Babylon." "The waters of Babylon" are all things which here are loved, and pass away.
