1 Para el director del coro. Un salmo de David. Dios, te suplico que escuches mi queja. Protégeme porque tengo miedo de mis enemigos. 2 Guárdame de las conspiraciones de los malvados, de esta multitud llena de maldad. 3 Sus palabras son hirientes como espadas, y de sus bocas emanan palabras venenosas como flechas. 4 Desde sus escondites disparan contra los inocentes, sin ningún temor de ser atrapados. 5 Animan a otros a hacer el mal y conspiran sobre cómo engañar a las personas diciendo: “Nadie lo sabrá”. 6 Ellos conspiran en hacer el mal. Con orgullo dicen: “¡Qué gran plan hemos creado!”. No hay límites en las profundidades a las que la mente humana puede llegar. 7 Pero Dios les disparará con flechas, y repentinamente caerán heridos. 8 Tropezarán con sus propios engaños. Quienes los vean se reirán de ellos y con sus cabezas harán señal de burla. 9 Entonces todos temerán. Dirán que esta es la obra de Dios, y se darán cuenta de las cosas que Él ha hecho. 10 Los justos se alegrarán con el Señor y buscarán su protección. Los que viven en rectitud lo alabarán.

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).
This psalm hath the title, "For David himself, when he was in the desert of Idumæa." By the name of Idumæa is understood this world. For Idumæa was a certain nation of men going astray, where idols were worshipped. In no good sense is put this Idumæa.

For these meaner things have their delights, but not like unto my God, who hath created all things; for in Him doth the righteous delight, and He is the sweetness of the upright in heart.
