Notes on this text (1)

1 ¡Yavé reina! ¡Regocíjese la tierra! ¡Alégrese la multitud de islas! 2 Nubes y densa oscuridad lo rodean. Justicia y equidad son el fundamento de su trono. 3 Fuego avanza delante de Él Que quema alrededor a sus adversarios. 4 Sus relámpagos iluminan el orbe. La tierra mira y se estremece. 5 Ante la presencia de Yavé Las montañas se derriten como cera, Ante la presencia del ʼAdonay de toda la tierra. 6 Los cielos declaran su justicia, Y todos los pueblos ven su gloria. 7 Sean avergonzados Todos los que sirven a imágenes talladas, Quienes se jactan de ídolos. Póstrense ante Él todos los ʼelohim. 8 Oyó Sion y se alegró, Y las hijas de Judá se regocijaron A causa de tus juicios, oh Yavé. 9 Porque Tú, oh Yavé, eres ʼElyón sobre toda la tierra. Tú eres exaltado por encima de todos los ʼelohim. 10 Aborrezcan el mal ustedes los que aman a Yavé, Quien preserva las almas de sus santos. ʼEL los libra de la mano de los perversos. 11 Luz hay sembrada para el justo, Y alegría para los rectos de corazón. 12 Alégrense ustedes, los justos, en Yavé, Y den gracias a la memoria de su santo Nombre.

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).

    My lord and brother Severus still defers the pleasure we shall feel in his discourse, which he oweth us; for he acknowledgeth, that he is held a debtor.

    Thus doth God ever appear. "For a cloud and darkness are round about Him;" and, "He sitteth on a light cloud;" and again, "Who maketh clouds His chariot;" and, "A cloud received Him out of their sight;" and, "As the Son of Man coming in the clouds." In order then that they might believe that the voice proceeds from God, …
