1 Psalam Asafov. Ta dobar je Bog Izrailju, onima koji su čista srca. 2 A noge moje umalo ne zađoše, umalo ne popuznuše stopala moja, 3 Jer se rasrdih na bezumnike videći kako bezbožnici dobro žive. 4 Jer ne znaju za nevolju do same smrti, i telo je njihovo pretilo. 5 Na poslovima čovečijim nema ih, i ne muče se s drugim ljudima. 6 Toga radi optočeni su oholoću kao ogrlicom, i obučeni u obest kao u stajaće ruho. 7 Od debljine izbuljeno im je oko, srce puno klape. 8 Podsmevaju se, pakosno govore o nasilju, oholo govore. 9 Usta svoja dižu u nebo, i zemlju prolazi jezik njihov. 10 I zato se onamo navraćaju neki iz naroda njegovog, i piju vodu iz punog izvora. 11 I govore: Kako će razabrati Bog? Zar Višnji zna? 12 Pa eto, ovi bezbožnici srećni na svetu umnožavaju bogatstvo. 13 Zar, dakle, uzalud čistim srce svoje, i umivam bezazlenošću ruke svoje, 14 Dopadam rana svaki dan, i muke svako jutro? 15 Kad bih kazao: Govoriću kao i oni, izneverio bih rod sinova Tvojih. 16 I tako stadoh razmišljati da bih ovo razumeo; ali to beše teško u očima mojim. 17 Dok najposle ne uđoh u svetinju Božiju, i doznah kraj njihov. 18 Ta na klizavom mestu postavio si ih, i bacaš ih u propast! 19 Kako začas propadaju, ginu, nestaje ih od nenadne strahote! 20 Kao san, kad se čovek probudi, tako probudivši ih, Gospode, u ništa obraćaš utvaru njihovu. 21 Kad kipljaše srce moje i rastrzah se u sebi, 22 Tada bejah neznalica i ne razumevah; kao živinče bijah pred Tobom. 23 Ali sam svagda kod Tebe, Ti me držiš za desnu ruku. 24 Po svojoj volji vodiš me, i posle ćeš me odvesti u slavu. 25 Koga imam na nebu? I s Tobom ništa neću na zemlji. 26 Čezne za Tobom telo moje i srce moje; Bog je grad srca mog i deo moj doveka. 27 Jer evo koji odstupiše od Tebe, ginu; Ti istrebljavaš svakog koji čini preljubu ostavljajući Tebe. 28 A meni je dobro biti blizu Boga. Na Gospoda polažem nadanje svoje, i kazivaću sva čudesa Tvoja.

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).
indeed this Psalm's title is fore-noted: but things are spoken of therein which could not apply to that Salomon king of Israel after the flesh, according to those things which holy Scripture speaketh concerning him: but they can most pertinently apply to the Lord Christ.

… and since works of mercy have no other object than the relief of distress or the conferring of happiness, and since there is no happiness apart from that good of which it is said, "It is good for me to be very near to God," it follows that the whole redeemed city, that is to say, the congregation or community …
