1 Molitva nevoljnoga, kad mu je teško, pa pred Gospodom izliva tugu svoju. Gospode! Čuj molitvu moju, i vika moja nek izađe preda Te. 2 Nemoj odvratiti lice svoje od mene; u dan kad sam u nevolji prigni k meni uho svoje, u dan kad Te prizivam, pohitaj, usliši me. 3 Jer prođoše kao dim dani moji, kosti moje kao topionica ogoreše. 4 Pokošeno je kao trava i posahlo srce moje, da zaboravih jesti hleb svoj. 5 Od uzdisanja mog prionu kost moja za meso moje. 6 Postadoh kao gem u pustinji; ja sam kao sova na zidinama. 7 Ne spavam, i sedim kao ptica bez druga na krovu. 8 Svaki dan ruže me neprijatelji moji, i koji su se pomamili na mene, mnom se uklinju. 9 Jedem pepeo kao hleb, i piće svoje rastvaram suzama. 10 Od gneva Tvog i srdnje Tvoje; jer podigavši me bacio si me. 11 Dani su moji kao sen, koji prolazi, i ja kao trava osuših se. 12 A Ti, Gospode, ostaješ doveka, i spomen Tvoj od kolena do kolena. 13 Ti ćeš ustati, smilovaćeš se na Sion, jer je vreme smilovati se na nj, jer je došlo vreme; 14 Jer slugama Tvojim omile i kamenje njegovo, i prah njegov žale. 15 Tada će se neznabošci bojati imena Gospodnjeg, i svi carevi zemaljski slave Njegove; 16 Jer će Gospod sazidati Sion, i javiti se u slavi svojoj; 17 Pogledaće na molitvu onih koji nemaju pomoći, i neće se oglušiti molbe njihove. 18 Napisaće se ovo potonjem rodu, i narod nanovo stvoren hvaliće Gospoda. 19 Što je prinikao sa svete visine svoje, Gospod pogledao s neba na zemlju. 20 Da čuje uzdisanje sužnjevo, i odreši sinove smrtne; 21 Da bi kazivali na Sionu ime Gospodnje i hvalu Njegovu u Jerusalimu, 22 Kad se skupe narodi i carstva da služe Gospodu. 23 Strošio je na putu krepost moju, skratio dane moje. 24 Rekoh: Bože moj! Nemoj me uzeti u polovini dana mojih. Tvoje su godine od kolena do kolena. 25 Davno si postavio zemlju, i nebesa su delo ruku Tvojih. 26 To će proći, a Ti ćeš ostati; sve će to kao haljina ovetšati, kao haljinu promenićeš ih i promeniće se. 27 Ali Ti si taj isti i godine Tvoje neće isteći. 28 Sinovi će sluga Tvojih živeti, i seme će se njihovo utvrditi pred licem Tvojim.

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).
In this Psalm, we ought to seek in the whole body of it what we find in the first verse: "Mercy and judgment will I sing unto Thee, O Lord" (ver. 1).

The children of Thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established for ever;" pointing out plainly what things they are that pass away, and who it is that doth endure for ever--God, together with His servants.
So, then, by a humble piety we return to Thee; and thou purgest us from our evil customs, and art merciful unto the sins of those who confess unto Thee, and dost "hear the groaning of the prisoner," and dost loosen us from those fetters which we have forged for ourselves, if we lift not up against Thee the horns …

On this account also one hath said, "My days have failed like smoke." He indeed was referring to their shortness of duration, and to their unsubstantial nature, but I would say that we should take what is said, not in this sense alone, but also as to their turbid character.

Hear David the Prophet saying, Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Thy hands; they shall perish, but Thou remainest.
