1 Oh ʼElohim, oye mi clamor. Atiende mi súplica. 2 Cuando mi corazón desmaya, Clamo a Ti desde el extremo de la tierra: Llévame a la Roca que es más alta que yo. 3 Porque Tú fuiste mi Refugio, Torre fuerte contra el enemigo. 4 Permite que yo viva en tu Tabernáculo para siempre Y que me refugie al amparo de tus alas. Selah 5 Porque Tú, ʼElohim, oíste mis votos. Diste heredad a los que temen tu Nombre. 6 Prolongarás la vida del rey. Sus años serán como muchas generaciones. 7 Estará para siempre delante de ʼElohim. Prepara misericordia y verdad para que lo preserven. 8 Así cantaré alabanza a tu Nombre para siempre, A fin de pagar mis votos cada día.

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).
David the king was one man, but not one man he figured; sometimes to wit he figured the Church of many men consisting, extended even unto the ends of the earth: but sometimes One Man he figured, Him he figured that is Mediator of God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.
