1 Al director musical. Sígase la tonada de «Los lirios». Masquil de los hijos de Coré. Canto nupcial. Mi corazón rebosa de hermosos pensamientos! Recitaré un bello poema para el rey, pues mi lengua es como la pluma de un hábil escritor. 2 Eres entre todos el más apuesto; tus labios son fuente de elocuencia, ya que Dios te ha bendecido para siempre. 3 ¡Toma las armas, tú el poderoso guerrero, lleno de gran majestad y gloria, 4 y, ¡majestuoso, marcha a vencer, por la verdad, la humildad y la justicia! ¡Adelante, a realizar proezas asombrosas! 5 Tus agudas saetas traspasan el corazón de tus enemigos. Las naciones ante ti se desploman, yacen bajo tus pies. 6 Tu trono, oh Dios, permanece para siempre; la justicia en tu mano, es un cetro real. 7 Amas el bien, y el mal detestas, por eso Dios, el Dios tuyo, te ha ungido, derramando sobre ti más perfume de alegría que sobre los demás. 8 Tus vestiduras exhalan perfume de mirra, áloe y casia. En tus palacios adornados de marfil hay música de arpa para deleite tuyo. 9 Entre tus damas de honor se cuentan princesas; a tu derecha se halla la novia real luciendo el oro más fino. 10 «Oye este consejo, hija mía. No te aflijas por tu familia que está en tu lejana tierra. 11 El rey, tu señor, se deleita en tu belleza. Inclínate ante él con reverencia. 12 La gente de Tiro te cubrirá de regalos; los más ricos del pueblo suplicarán tu favor». 13 La novia, que es una princesa, espera en su recámara, cubierta de hermosos vestidos bordados en oro. 14 Vestida de finos bordados es conducida ante el rey, seguida por sus damas de compañía. 15 Con alegría y regocijo son conducidas al interior del palacio real. 16 Un día, tus hijos serán reyes como su padre. Los pondrás por príncipes en toda la tierra. 17 Y haré que tu nombre sea honrado en todas las generaciones; las naciones de la tierra te alabarán para siempre.

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 Psalm is addressed "to the sons of Korah," as its title shows. Now Korah is equivalent to the word baldness; and we find in the Gospel that our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified in "the place of a skull." It is clear then that this Psalm is sung to the "sons of His Passion.'" Now we have on this …

But our Lord is Himself the resurrection, as He does Himself declare, "I am the resurrection and the life." But the fathers are His children; for it is said by the prophet: "Instead of thy fathers, thy children have been made to thee." Christ Himself, therefore, together with the Father, is the God of the living, who spake to Moses, …
Thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity: therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of exultation above Thy fellows;" that is, plainly, Christ above Christians.

Of this therefore the prophet discourses unto her, and saith, "Forget thy people, and thy father's house, so shall the king have pleasure in thy beauty." This Ruth did too, and because of this she became a mother of kings, even as the Church did likewise.

And for this reason, methinks, the Psalmist says to mankind, Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house, whom thou hast chosen for a father, whom thou hast drawn upon thyself to thy destruction.
