1 Un salmo de David. Doy gracias a Dios con todo mi ser; cantaré tus alabanzas ante los seres celestiales. 2 Me postraré ante tu santo Templo, estoy agradecido con tu santo nombre, por tu amor y fidelidad, y porque tus promesas son más grandes que lo que la gente espera. 3 De día clamé a ti por ayuda, y tú me respondiste. Me animaste y me hiciste fuerte. 4 Todos los reyes de la tierra de alabarán, Señor, porque han oído tus palabras. 5 Cantarán de lo que el Señor ha hecho y de la gloria del Señor. 6 Aunque el Señor esté en lo más alto, presta atención a los humildes; pero reconoce al orgulloso desde muy lejos. 7 Aunque camine entre muchos problemas, tú me proteges. Llegas a donde mí y me defiendes de la ira de los que me odian, tus manos fuertes me salvan. 8 ¡El Señor me reivindica! Señor, tu gran amor perdura para siempre! ¡No abandones la obra de tus manos!

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).
But to-day we have sung, "By the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept, when we remembered Sion" (ver. 1).... 2. Observe "the waters of Babylon." "The waters of Babylon" are all things which here are loved, and pass away.
