1 Al director musical. Petición de David. ¡Líbrame, oh Dios! ¡Señor, apresúrate, acude en mi auxilio! 2 Que sean humillados y confundidos los que procuran matarme. Que retrocedan avergonzados los que desean mi mal. 3 Que se horroricen de vergüenza por haberse burlado de mí. 4 Pero a los seguidores de Dios, llénalos de gozo. Exclamen quienes aman su salvación: «¡Qué admirable Dios!». 5 Pero yo soy pobre y estoy necesitado. Apresúrate a socorrerme, pues sólo tú puedes ayudarme y salvarme. Oh Señor, no tardes.

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).

“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.
