Notes on this text (2)

1 Al Músico principal: sobre La paloma silenciosa en paraje muy distante. Michtam de David, cuando los Filisteos le prendieron en Gath. TEN misericordia de mí, oh Dios, porque me devoraría el hombre: me oprime combatiéndome cada día. 2 Apúranme mis enemigos cada día; porque muchos son los que pelean contra mí, oh Altísimo. 3 En el día que temo, yo en ti confío. 4 En Dios alabaré su palabra: en Dios he confiado, no temeré lo que la carne me hiciere. 5 Todos los días me contristan mis negocios; contra mí son todos sus pensamientos para mal. 6 Reúnense, escóndense, miran ellos atentamente mis pasos, esperando mi vida. 7 ¿Escaparán ellos por la iniquidad? Oh Dios, derriba en tu furor los pueblos. 8 Mis huídas has tú contado: pon mis lágrimas en tu redoma: ¿no están ellas en tu libro? 9 Serán luego vueltos atrás mis enemigos el día que yo clamare: en esto conozco que Dios es por mí. 10 En Dios alabaré [su] palabra; en Jehová alabaré [su] palabra. 11 En Dios he confiado: no temeré lo que me hará el hombre. 12 Sobre mí, oh Dios, están tus votos: te tributaré alabanzas. 13 Porque has librado mi vida de la muerte, y mis pies de caída, para que ande delante de Dios en la luz de los que viven.

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).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LV)

    Of this Psalm the title is: "At the end, in hymns, understanding to David himself." What the "end" is, we will briefly call to your recollection, because ye have known it. "For the end of the Law is Christ, for righteousness unto every man believing." Be the attention therefore directed unto the End, directed unto Christ.

  2. Quotes verse 56:10 Augustine of Hippo, Homilies on the First Epistle of John (Homily X)

    As the Psalm saith, "In God will I praise the discourse, in God will I praise the word." Hereby shall that which there follows come to pass in thee: "In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do unto me." For when all things that are thine are praised in God, no fear lest thy praise …
