1 Oh Yavé, te doy gracias con todo mi corazón. Te cantaré alabanzas delante de los ʼelohim. 2 Me postraré hacia tu santo Templo Y daré gracias a tu Nombre por tu misericordia y tu verdad, Porque engrandeciste tu Palabra por encima de todo tu Nombre. 3 El día cuando invoqué, Tú me respondiste. Me volviste atrevido con fortaleza en mi alma. 4 Todos los reyes de la tierra te darán gracias, oh Yavé, Cuando oigan las Palabras de tu boca. 5 Y cantarán de los caminos de Yavé, ¡Porque grande es la gloria de Yavé! 6 Porque aunque Yavé es exaltado, Sin embargo, atiende al humilde, Pero al altivo conoce de lejos. 7 Aunque yo ande en medio de la aflicción, Tú me vivificarás. Extenderás tu mano contra la ira de mis enemigos, Y me salvará tu mano derecha. 8 Yavé hará lo que concierne a mí. Oh Yavé, tu misericordia es para siempre, No desampares la obra de tus manos.

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).
But to-day we have sung, "By the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept, when we remembered Sion" (ver. 1).... 2. Observe "the waters of Babylon." "The waters of Babylon" are all things which here are loved, and pass away.
