Notes on this text (1)

1 Al director musical. Sígase la tonada de «La tórtola en los robles lejanos». Mictam de David, cuando los filisteos lo apresaron en Gat. Señor, ten misericordia de mí; todo el día las tropas enemigas me presionan. 2 Mis enemigos me persiguen constantemente; y muchos orgullosos me atacan. 3 Pero cuando tenga miedo, pondré mi confianza en ti. 4 Oh Dios, alabo tu palabra. Confío en Dios ¿por qué temeré? ¿Qué podrá hacerme un simple mortal? 5 Continuamente tuercen mis palabras. En lo único que piensan es en cómo perjudicarme. 6 Se reúnen y me espían; observan cada uno de mis pasos para matarme. 7 No permitas que en su maldad, se salgan con la suya. En tu enojo, Dios mío, derríbalos hasta el suelo. 8 Lleva la cuenta de mis lamentos. Has recogido todas mis lágrimas y las has guardado en un frasco. Has anotado cada una de ellas en tu libro. 9 El mismo día que yo te pido ayuda, huirán mis enemigos. Una cosa sé: ¡Dios está de mi parte! 10 Estoy confiado en Dios. ¡Alabadas sean sus promesas! No temo nada de lo que un simple hombre pueda hacerme. Sí; alabadas sean sus promesas. 11 Confío en Dios ¿por qué temeré? ¿Qué podría hacerme un simple mortal? 12 Ciertamente cumpliré los votos que he hecho ante ti, Señor, y te presentaré mis ofrendas de gratitud por tu ayuda. 13 Porque tú me salvaste de la muerte, y mis pies de resbalar, de modo que puedo marchar ante el Señor en la luz de la vida.

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 LV)

    Of this Psalm the title is: "At the end, in hymns, understanding to David himself." What the "end" is, we will briefly call to your recollection, because ye have known it. "For the end of the Law is Christ, for righteousness unto every man believing." Be the attention therefore directed unto the End, directed unto Christ.

  2. Quotes verse 56:10 Augustine of Hippo, Homilies on the First Epistle of John (Homily X)

    As the Psalm saith, "In God will I praise the discourse, in God will I praise the word." Hereby shall that which there follows come to pass in thee: "In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do unto me." For when all things that are thine are praised in God, no fear lest thy praise …
