Notes on this text (1)

1 Ten compasión de mí, oh ʼElohim. Ten compasión de mí. Porque mi alma confía en Ti, Y en la sombra de tus alas me amparo Hasta que pase la destrucción. 2 Clamaré a ʼElohim ʼElyón, A ʼEL, Quien me favorece. 3 Él enviará desde el cielo Y me salvará de la infamia del que me oprime. Selah ʼElohim enviará su misericordia y su verdad. 4 Mi vida está en medio de leones. Estoy tendido entre los que respiran fuego. Hijos de hombres, sus dientes son lanzas y flechas, Y su lengua, espada aguda. 5 ¡Exaltado seas sobre los cielos, oh ʼElohim! ¡Tu gloria sea sobre toda la tierra! 6 Tendieron una red ante mis pies para doblegar mi vida. Cavaron un hoyo delante de mí Y ellos cayeron en él. Selah 7 Mi corazón está establecido, oh ʼElohim. Está firme mi corazón. Cantaré y entonaré salmos. 8 Despierta, alma mía. Despierten, arpa y lira. Yo despertaré el alba. 9 Te daré gracias entre los pueblos, oh ʼAdonay. Te cantaré salmos en las naciones. 10 Porque tu misericordia es grande hasta los cielos, Y tu verdad, hasta las nubes. 11 Exaltado seas sobre los cielos, oh ʼElohim. Y tu gloria sea por encima de toda la tierra.

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 LVI)

    Just as when we are going to enter into any house, we look on the title to see whose it is and to whom it belongeth, lest perchance inopportunely we burst into a place whereunto we ought not; and again, in order that we may not through timidity withdraw from that which we ought to enter: as if in a …

    Thus, therefore, it is necessary for one not to boast of such things in a hypocritical way, but to be prepared in the heart itself for all things, so that he can sing that prophetic word, "My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared." For many have learned how to offer the other cheek, but do not know …
