Notes on this text (2)

1 Salmo de David, cuando mudó su semblante delante de Abimelech, y él lo echó, y fuése. BENDECIRÉ á Jehová en todo tiempo; su alabanza [será] siempre en mi boca. 2 En Jehová se gloriará mi alma: oiránlo los mansos, y se alegrarán. 3 Engrandeced á Jehová conmigo, y ensalcemos su nombre á una. 4 Busqué á Jehová, y él me oyó, y libróme de todos mis temores. 5 A él miraron y fueron alumbrados: y sus rostros no se avergonzaron. 6 Este pobre clamó, y oyóle Jehová, y librólo de todas sus angustias. 7 El ángel de Jehová acampa en derredor de los que le temen, y los defiende. 8 Gustad, y ved que es bueno Jehová: dichoso el hombre que confiará en él. 9 Temed á Jehová, vosotros sus santos; porque no hay falta para los que le temen. 10 Los leoncillos necesitaron, y tuvieron hambre; pero los que buscan á Jehová, no tendrán falta de ningún bien. 11 Venid, hijos, oidme; el temor de Jehová os enseñaré. 12 ¿Quién es el hombre que desea vida, que codicia días para ver bien? 13 Guarda tu lengua de mal, y tus labios de hablar engaño. 14 Apártate del mal, y haz el bien; busca la paz, y síguela. 15 Los ojos de Jehová están sobre los justos, y [atentos] sus oídos al clamor de ellos. 16 La ira de Jehová contra los que mal hacen, para cortar de la tierra la memoria de ellos. 17 Clamaron [los justos], y Jehová oyó, y librólos de todas sus angustias. 18 Cercano está Jehová á los quebrantados de corazón; y salvará á los contritos de espíritu. 19 Muchos son los males del justo; mas de todos ellos lo librará Jehová. 20 El guarda todos sus huesos; ni uno de ellos será quebrantado. 21 Matará al malo la maldad; y los que aborrecen al justo serán asolados. 22 Jehová redime el alma de sus siervos; y no serán asolados cuantos en él confían.

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).
