1 Oh Yavé, no se envaneció mi corazón, Ni mis ojos se enaltecieron, Ni anduve tras grandezas, Ni en cosas demasiado difíciles para mí. 2 Ciertamente calmé y tranquilicé mi alma, Como un bebé destetado de su madre. Como un bebé destetado está mi alma dentro de mí. 3 Espera, oh Israel, a Yavé Desde ahora y 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).
(ver. 1). Jonas cried from the deep; from the whale's belly. He was not only beneath the waves, but also in the entrails of the beast; nevertheless, those waves and that body prevented not his prayer from reaching God, and the beast's belly could not contain the voice of his prayer.
