1 Al director musical. Salmo de David. Los cielos cuentan la gloria de Dios, el firmamento proclama la obra de sus manos. 2 Un día se lo dice a otro día; una noche a otra hace que lo conozcan. 3 Hablan sin sonido ni palabra, su voz es silenciosa en los cielos; 4 su mensaje se extiende por todo el mundo, hasta los confines de la tierra. El sol, a quien Dios le puso su hogar en el cielo, 5 recorre el espacio tan resplandeciente como el novio que viene de su boda, tan alegre como el atleta que espera participar en una carrera. 6 Cruza los cielos de un extremo al otro y nada escapa a su calor. 7 La ley del Señor es perfecta: infunde nuevo aliento. Sus mandamientos son fieles: dan sabiduría a los sencillos. 8 Las normas del Señor son justas: traen alegría al corazón. Los mandamientos del Señor son claros: dan luz a los ojos. 9 El temor del Señor es puro: permanece para siempre. Los decretos del Señor son verdaderos y justos. 10 Son más deseables que el oro, más que el oro refinado. Son más dulces que la miel que destiló del panal. 11 Porque ellos advierten al que los oye y hacen triunfar a quienes los obedecen. 12 Pero, ¿cómo podré yo saber qué pecados acechan en mi corazón? 13 Purifícame de esas faltas que me son ocultas, y líbrame de cometer maldades voluntariamente; ayúdame para que ellas no me dominen. Sólo así podré estar libre de culpa y de multiplicar mis pecados. 14 Que mis palabras y mis más íntimos pensamientos sean agradables a ti; Señor, roca mía y redentor mío.

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).
That is, for the strong of hand, Christ in His Manhood. "The words of this song which he spoke to the Lord on the day when the Lord delivered him out of the hands of his enemies, and of the hand of Saul; and he said, On the day when the Lord delivered him out of the hands of his …

For this reason, too, David said: "Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou hast perfected praise;" and again: "The heavens declare the glory of God." Hence also it comes to pass, that when the soul is involved in difficulties and distresses, for its own relief it calls out, "Oh" (O), in honour of the letter in question, so …
or to whom shall I cry but to Thee? Cleanse me from my secret sins, O Lord, and keep Thy servant from those of other men.

For not "the Heavens only declare the glory of God," but the earth too; and this David declared when he said, "Praise the Lord, ye fruitful trees, and all cedars." For some by their fruits, some by their greatness, some by their beauty, send up praise to Him who made them: this too being a sign of great excellency of …
