1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David, siervo del Señor. LA iniquidad del impío me dice al corazón: No hay temor de Dios delante de sus ojos. 2 Lisonjéase, por tanto, en sus propios ojos, hasta que su iniquidad sea hallada aborrecible. 3 Las palabras de su boca son iniquidad y fraude; no quiso entender para bien hacer. 4 Iniquidad piensa sobre su cama; está en camino no bueno, el mal no aborrece. 5 Jehová, hasta los cielos es tu misericordia; tu verdad hasta las nubes. 6 Tu justicia como los montes de Dios, tus juicios abismo grande: oh Jehová, al hombre y al animal conservas. 7 ¡Cuán ilustre, oh Dios, es tu misericordia! Por eso los hijos de los hombres se amparan bajo la sombra de tus alas. 8 Embriagarse han de la grosura de tu casa; y tú los abrevarás del torrente de tus delicias. 9 Porque contigo está el manantial de la vida: en tu luz veremos la luz. 10 Extiende tu misericordia á los que te conocen, y tu justicia á los rectos de corazón. 11 No venga contra mí pie de soberbia; y mano de impíos no me mueva. 12 Allí cayeron los obradores de iniquidad; fueron rempujados, y no pudieron levantarse.

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).
The title of it causeth us no delay, for it is both brief, and to be understood not difficult, especially to those nursed in the Church of God. For so it is, "To David himself." The Psalm then is to David himself: now David is interpreted, Strong in hand, or Desirable.

Some also sharing their error and misusing the text which says, "And Thy truth unto the clouds," have dared to circumscribe God's providence by the clouds and the heaven, and to alienate from God the things on earth; having forgotten the Psalm which says, If I go up into heaven, Thou art there, if I go down into hell, …
