1 Al director musical. Salmo de David. En tu fuerza, Señor, se regocija el rey, ¡qué gozo siente en tus victorias! 2 Porque le has dado cuanto su corazón anhelaba, todo cuanto te pidió. 3 Con triunfo y prosperidad lo recibiste para darle el trono. Le pusiste regia corona de oro purísimo. 4 Él pidió larga y buena vida y tú se la concediste; los días de su vida se prolongan para siempre. 5 Por tu victoria le diste renombre y honor. Lo vestiste de esplendor y majestad. 6 Lo dotaste de eterna felicidad. Le concediste el inagotable gozo de tu presencia. 7 Y por cuanto confía en el Señor, en el gran amor del Altísimo, el rey jamás tropezará, nunca caerá. 8 Tu mano, Señor, alcanzará a tus enemigos, tu diestra a cuantos te odian. 9 Cuando todos te veamos, ellos serán consumidos como por el fuego de un horno, en tu presencia. En su ira los devorará el Señor; fuego los consumirá. 10 Borrarás de la faz de la tierra a sus hijos; nunca tendrán descendientes. 11 Porque esos hombres traman en contra tuya, Señor, pero jamás triunfarán. 12 Volverán la espalda y huirán al ver que tus flechas les apuntan. 13 Señor, acepta nuestra alabanza por todo tu glorioso poder. Escribiremos cánticos para celebrar tus poderosos hechos.

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).
This is a well-known title; and it is not Christ who speaks; but the prophet speaks to Christ, under the form of wishing, foretelling things to come. 2. "The Lord hear Thee in the day of trouble" (ver. 1).
