Notes on this text (1)

1 A psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, has spoken and called the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. 2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone. 3 Our God comes and does not stay silent; a fire devours before him, and it is very stormy around him. 4 He calls to the heavens above and to the earth so that he may judge his people: 5 “Gather my faithful ones together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.” 6 The heavens will declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. Selah 7 “Hear, my people, and I will speak; I am God, your God. 8 I will not reprove you for your sacrifices; your burnt offerings are always before me. 9 I will take no bull out of your house, or male goats out of your folds. 10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. 11 I know all the birds of the mountains, and the wild beasts of the field are mine. 12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world is mine, and everything in it. 13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats? 14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High. 15 Call on me in the day of trouble; I will rescue you, and you will glorify me.” 16 But to the wicked God says, “What have you to do with declaring my statutes, that you have taken my covenant in your mouth, 17 since you hate instruction and throw my words away? 18 When you see a thief, you agree with him; you participate with those who commit adultery. 19 You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue expresses deceit. 20 You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother's son. 21 You have done these things, but I have kept silent, so you thought that I was someone just like yourself. But I will reprove you and bring up, right before your eyes, all the things you have done. 22 Give this careful consideration, you who forget God, otherwise I will tear you to pieces, and there will be no one to come to help you! 23 The one who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving praises me, and to anyone who plans his path in the right way I will show God's salvation.”

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).

    "Hear ye these things, all ye nations" (ver. 1). Not then you only who are here. For of what power is our voice so to cry out, as that all nations may hear?

  3. Quotes verse 50:1 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book IX, Chapter 23)

    And regarding the name itself, if they see fit to call such blessed and immortal creatures gods, this need not give rise to any serious discussion between us, since in our own Scriptures we read, "The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken;" and again, "Confess to the God of gods;" and again, "He is a great King above all …

    And this He saith unto them in irony; as when He said, "Behold, Adam is become as one of us;" and again, "If I were hungry, I would not tell thee." For that no man on earth was righteous, Paul declared, saying, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." And by this too the others …
