1 Oh Yavé, el rey se alegrará en tu poder, Y en tu salvación ¡cuánto se regocijará! 2 Le diste el deseo de su corazón Y no le retuviste la petición de sus labios. Selah 3 Con bendiciones de bien saliste a su encuentro. Corona de oro puro pusiste en su cabeza. 4 Vida te pidió, Y se la concediste, Largura de días, eternamente y para siempre. 5 Grande es su gloria por tu salvación. Pusiste sobre él honor y majestad. 6 Lo bendijiste para siempre. Lo llenaste de alegría con tu Presencia 7 Por cuanto el rey confía en Yavé. Por la misericordia de ʼElyón, no será conmovido. 8 Tu mano alcanzará a todos tus enemigos. Tu mano derecha alcanzará a los que te aborrecen. 9 Los pondrás en horno de fuego en el tiempo de tu ira. Yavé los deshará en su ira, Y el fuego los consumirá. 10 Destruirás su producto de la tierra, Y su descendencia de entre los hijos de hombres. 11 Porque tramaron el mal contra Ti. Fraguaron un complot, Pero no prevalecerán. 12 Pues Tú les harás volver la espalda Al apuntar tu arco contra sus rostros. 13 ¡Engrandécete, oh Yavé, con tu fortaleza! Cantaremos y alabaremos tu poderío.

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 is a well-known title; and it is not Christ who speaks; but the prophet speaks to Christ, under the form of wishing, foretelling things to come. 2. "The Lord hear Thee in the day of trouble" (ver. 1).
