1 Načelniku pevačkom. Psalam sinova Korejevih. Slušajte ovo svi narodi, pazite svi koji živite po vasiljeni, 2 Prostaci i gospodo, bogati i siromasi. 3 Usta će moja kazati premudrost, i srce moje reći će razum. 4 Prignuću uho svoje k priči, uz gusle ću otvoriti zagonetku svoju. 5 Čega da se bojim u zle dane, kad me zloba mojih neprijatelja opkoli? 6 Koji se uzdate u silu svoju, i hvalite se velikim bogatstvom svojim! 7 Čovek neće nikako brata osloboditi, neće dati Bogu otkup za nj. 8 Velik je otkup za dušu, i neće biti nikad 9 Da ko doveka živi, i ne vidi groba. 10 Svi vide gde umiru kao i neznalica i bezumnik što ginu, i ostavljaju drugima imanje svoje. 11 Oni misle da će kuće njihove trajati doveka, i stanovi njihovi od kolena na koleno; imenima svojim zovu zemlje; 12 Ali čovek u časti neće dugo ostati, izjednačiće se sa stokom, koju kolju. 13 Ovaj im se put čini probitačan, i koji za njima idu, hvale misli njihove; 14 Ali će ih kao ovce zatvoriti u pakao, smrt će im biti pastir; i ujutru hodiće po njima pravednici, i oblik njihov zbrisaće pakao rastavivši ih s naseljem. 15 Ali će Bog dušu moju izbaviti iz ruku paklenih; jer me On prima. 16 Ne boj se kad se ko bogati; kad raste slava doma njegovog. 17 Jer kad umre, neće ništa poneti, niti će poći za njim slava njegova. 18 Jer dušu njegovu blagosiljaju za života njegovog, i slave tebe, što ugađaš sebi. 19 Ali će on otići u stan otaca svojih, gde sveta nikad ne vide. 20 Čovek u časti, ako nije razuman, izjednačiće se sa stokom, koju kolju.

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 this Psalm is, "A song of praise, to the sons of Korah, on the second day of the week." Concerning this what the Lord deigneth to grant receive ye like sons of the firmament.

… lost the true rationality, and living irrationally, opposed the righteousness of God, giving himself over to every earthly spirit, and serving all lusts; as says the prophet, "Man, being in honour, did not understand: he was assimilated to senseless beasts, and made like to them." Chapter V.--The author returns to his former argument, and shows that there was but one …
For this he doth by the discernment of his mind, whereby he perceiveth the things "of the Spirit of God;" whereas, otherwise, man being placed in honour, had no understanding, and is compared unto the brute beasts, and is become like unto them. In Thy Church, therefore, O our God, according to Thy grace which Thou hast accorded unto it, …

As the prophet too said, intimating the selfsame thing, "A brother redeemeth not, shall a man redeem?" No, not although it were Moses, Samuel, Jeremiah.

It is of such the Psalmist says, "They call their lands after their own names." Wherefore they incur what is written in another psalm: "Thou, O Lord, in Thy city wilt despise their image." But as for the son of Seth, the son of the resurrection, let him hope to call on the name of the Lord God.
