1 Cántico gradual. MUCHO me han angustiado desde mi juventud, puede decir ahora Israel; 2 Mucho me han angustiado desde mi juventud; mas no prevalecieron contra mí. 3 Sobre mis espaldas araron los aradores: hicieron largos surcos. 4 Jehová es justo; cortó las coyundas de los impíos. 5 Serán avergonzados y vueltos atrás todos los que aborrecen á Sión. 6 Serán como la hierba de los tejados, que se seca antes que crezca: 7 De la cual no hinchió segador su mano, ni sus brazos el que hace gavillas. 8 Ni dijeron los que pasaban: Bendición de Jehová sea sobre vosotros; os bendecimos en el nombre de Jehová.

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).
Felix the Martyr, truly Felix, i.e. "Happy" both in his name and his crown, whose birthday this is, despised the world. Was he, because he feared the Lord, thence happy, thence blessed, because his wife was as a fruitful vine upon the earth, and his children stood around his table?
