1 Plačna pesma Davidova, koju je pevao Gospodu poradi Husa od plemena Venijaminova. Gospode, Bože moj! U Tebe se uzdam, sačuvaj me od svih koji me gone, i izbavi me. 2 Da mi neprijatelj ne iščupa dušu kao lav. Čupa, a nema ko da izbavi. 3 Gospode, Bože moj! Ako sam to učinio, ako je nepravda u rukama mojim, 4 Ako sam zlo vratio prijatelju svom, ili krivo učinio onima koji na me na pravdi napadahu; 5 Neka goni neprijatelj dušu moju, i neka je stigne, i pogazi na zemlju život moj i slavu moju u prah obrati. 6 Ustani, Gospode, u gnevu svom; digni se na žestinu neprijatelja mojih; probudi se meni na pomoć, i otvori sud. 7 I ljudstvo će se sleći oko Tebe; iznad njega izađi u visinu. 8 Gospod sudi narodima. Sudi mi, Gospode, po pravdi mojoj, i po bezazlenosti mojoj neka mi bude. 9 Nek se prekine zloća bezbožnička, a pravednika potpomozi, jer Ti ispituješ srca i utrobe, Bože pravedni! 10 Štit je meni u Boga, koji čuva one koji su pravog srca. 11 Bog je pravedan sudija, i Bog je svaki dan gotov na gnev. 12 Ako se neće bezbožnik da obrati, On oštri mač svoj, nateže luk svoj, i naperuje ga; 13 I zapinje smrtnu strelu, čini strele svoje da pale. 14 Gle, bezbožnik zače nepravdu, trudan beše zločinstvom, i rodi sebi prevaru. 15 Kopa jamu i iskopa, i pade u jamu koju je načinio. 16 Zloba njegova obrati se na njegovu glavu, i zločinstvo njegovo pade na teme njegovo. 17 Hvalim Gospoda za pravdu Njegovu, i pevam imenu Gospoda Višnjeg.

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).
Now the story which gave occasion to this prophecy may be easily recognised in the second book of Kings. For there Chusi, the friend of king David, went over to the side of Abessalon, his son, who was carrying on war against his father, for the purpose of discovering and reporting the designs which he was taking against his father, …

But that it belongs to God only to know men's secrets, hear what saith the prophet, "Thou most entirely alone knowest the hearts;" and again, "God trieth the hearts and reins; " and Jeremiah too saith, "The heart is deep above all things, and it is man, and who shall know him?" and, "Man shall look on the face, but …

… for a faithful man it is hard to find: not that thou shouldest shew thy conscience to me, for thou art not to be judged of man's judgment; but that thou shew the sincerity of thy faith to God, who trieth the reins and hearts, and knoweth the thoughts of men.
