1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. LÍBRAME, oh Jehová, de hombre malo: guárdame de hombre violento; 2 Los cuales maquinan males en el corazón, cada día urden contiendas. 3 Aguzaron su lengua como la serpiente; veneno de áspid hay debajo de sus labios. (Selah.) 4 Guárdame, oh Jehová, de manos del impío, presérvame del hombre injurioso; que han pensado de trastornar mis pasos. 5 Hanme escondido lazo y cuerdas los soberbios; han tendido red junto á la senda; me han puesto lazos. (Selah.) 6 He dicho á Jehová: Dios mío eres tú; escucha, oh Jehová, la voz de mis ruegos. 7 Jehová Señor, fortaleza de mi salud, tú pusiste á cubierto mi cabeza el día de las armas. 8 No des, oh Jehová, al impío sus deseos; no saques adelante su pensamiento, [que no] se ensoberbezca. (Selah.) 9 En cuanto á los que por todas partes me rodean, la maldad de sus propios labios cubrirá su cabeza. 10 Caerán sobre ellos brasas; [Dios] los hará caer en el fuego, en profundos hoyos de donde no salgan. 11 El hombre deslenguado no será firme en la tierra: el mal cazará al hombre injusto para derribarle. 12 Yo sé que hará Jehová el juicio del afligido, el juicio de los menesterosos. 13 Ciertamente los justos alabarán tu nombre; los rectos morarán en tu presencia.

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).
Our Lord Jesus Christ speaketh in the Prophets, sometimes in His own Name, sometimes in ours, because He maketh Himself one with us; as it is said, "they twain shall be one flesh." Wherefore also the Lord saith in the Gospel, speaking of marriage, "therefore they are no more twain, but one flesh." One flesh, because of our mortality He …
