Notes on this text (1)

1 Un salmo (Sigaión) de David, el cual cantó al Señor refiriéndose a Cus, de la tribu de Benjamín. Señor, mi Dios, tu eres mi protección. Sálvame de los que me persiguen. ¡Por favor, rescátame! 2 De lo contrario, me devorarán como a un león, y me harán trizas sin nadie que me salve. 3 Si he hecho aquello de lo que me acusan, si mis manos son culpables, 4 si he pagado mal a un amigo, si le he robado a mi enemigo sin razón, 5 entonces deja que mis enemigos me alcancen, y déjalos que me atrapen hasta llevarme al suelo y que arrastren mi reputación en el polvo. Selah. 6 Levántate, Señor, y en tu ira álzate contra mis enemigos. ¡Despiértate, Señor, y hazme justicia! 7 Junta a las naciones delante de ti, gobiérnalas desde tu trono que está en lo alto. 8 El Señor juzga a todos los pueblos. Defiéndeme, Señor, conforme a mi rectitud e integridad. 9 Por favor, ponle fin a todo el mal hecho por los malvados. Vindica a los que hacen el bien, porque tú eres el Señor de justicia que examina las mentes y los corazones. 10 El Altísimo es mi defensa. Es el que salva a los que viven en justicia. 11 Dios es un juez justo que se enoja con los que hacen el mal. 12 Si no se arrepienten, él afilará su espada. Ya tiene armado su arco. 13 Ha preparado armas mortales, y tiene preparadas flechas ardientes. 14 ¡Miren cómo los malvados conciben el mal! Se embarazan con maldad, y dan a luz al engaño. 15 Cavan un pozo profundo para hacer caer a la gente, pero son ellos mismos quienes caen en él. 16 La maldad que hacen rebota y cae sobre sus cabezas; y su violencia caerá sobre sus propios cráneos. 17 Agradeceré al Señor porque él hace justicia; cantaré alabanzas al nombre del Altísimo.

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).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm VII)

    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 …

  3. Quotes verse 7:9 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture V)

    … 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.
