Notes on this text (1)

1 ¡Oh Yavé, ʼElohim mío, en Ti me refugio! ¡Sálvame y líbrame de todos los que me persiguen! 2 No sea que el enemigo desgarre mi vida como león, Que despedace, y no haya quien libre. 3 Oh Yavé, ʼElohim mío, si hice esto, Si hay iniquidad en mis manos, 4 Si pagué con perversidad al que estaba en paz conmigo, Más bien libré al que sin causa era mi adversario, 5 Que el enemigo persiga mi vida y la tome, Que pisotee en tierra mi vida, Y haga bajar mi honor hasta el polvo. Selah 6 ¡Levántate, oh Yavé, en tu ira! ¡Álzate contra la furia de mis adversarios, Y despierta a mi favor en el juicio que convocaste! 7 ¡Que te rodee la asamblea de naciones, Y sobre ella preside Tú desde lo alto! 8 Oh Yavé, Tú, Impartidor de justicia a los pueblos: ¡Júzgame, Yavé, conforme a mi rectitud, Conforme a la integridad que hay en mí! 9 ¡Acábese la perversidad de los perversos, Y sea el justo firmemente establecido! Porque es justo el ʼElohim que prueba [el] corazón Y lo más íntimo de mi personalidad. 10 Mi escudo es ʼElohim, Quien salva a los rectos de corazón. 11 ʼElohim es Juez justo. Es un ʼElohim que sentencia cada día. 12 Si el hombre no se convierte, afilará su espada. Tensará su arco y apuntará. 13 Se preparó sus armas mortales, Y dispuso sus flechas abrasadoras. 14 Ahí están los dolores de parto de la iniquidad. Concibió perversidad y dio a luz la falsedad. 15 Hizo un hoyo y lo ahondó. ¡Pero él mismo cayó en el foso preparado! 16 Su perversidad se revierte sobre su cabeza, Y su violencia desciende sobre su coronilla. 17 Alabaré a Yavé conforme a su justicia Y cantaré alabanzas al Nombre de Yavé el Altísimo.

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 VII)

    Now the story which gave occasion to this prophecy may be easily recognised in the second book of Kings. For there Chusi, the friend of king David, went over to the side of Abessalon, his son, who was carrying on war against his father, for the purpose of discovering and reporting the designs which he was taking against his father, …

    But that it belongs to God only to know men's secrets, hear what saith the prophet, "Thou most entirely alone knowest the hearts;" and again, "God trieth the hearts and reins; " and Jeremiah too saith, "The heart is deep above all things, and it is man, and who shall know him?" and, "Man shall look on the face, but …

  3. Quotes verse 7:9 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture V)

    … for a faithful man it is hard to find: not that thou shouldest shew thy conscience to me, for thou art not to be judged of man's judgment; but that thou shew the sincerity of thy faith to God, who trieth the reins and hearts, and knoweth the thoughts of men.
