1 [Militia est vita hominis super terram, et sicut dies mercenarii dies ejus. 2 Sicut servus desiderat umbram, et sicut mercenarius præstolatur finem operis sui, 3 sic et ego habui menses vacuos, et noctes laboriosas enumeravi mihi. 4 Si dormiero, dicam: Quando consurgam? et rursum expectabo vesperam, et replebor doloribus usque ad tenebras. 5 Induta est caro mea putredine, et sordibus pulveris cutis mea aruit et contracta est. 6 Dies mei velocius transierunt quam a texente tela succiditur, et consumpti sunt absque ulla spe. 7 Memento quia ventus est vita mea, et non revertetur oculus meus ut videat bona. 8 Nec aspiciet me visus hominis; oculi tui in me, et non subsistam. 9 Sicut consumitur nubes, et pertransit, sic qui descenderit ad inferos, non ascendet. 10 Nec revertetur ultra in domum suam, neque cognoscet eum amplius locus ejus. 11 Quapropter et ego non parcam ori meo: loquar in tribulatione spiritus mei; confabulabor cum amaritudine animæ meæ. 12 Numquid mare ego sum, aut cetus, quia circumdedisti me carcere? 13 Si dixero: Consolabitur me lectulus meus, et relevabor loquens mecum in strato meo: 14 terrebis me per somnia, et per visiones horrore concuties. 15 Quam ob rem elegit suspendium anima mea, et mortem ossa mea. 16 Desperavi: nequaquam ultra jam vivam: parce mihi, nihil enim sunt dies mei. 17 Quid est homo, quia magnificas eum? aut quid apponis erga eum cor tuum? 18 Visitas eum diluculo, et subito probas illum. 19 Usquequo non parcis mihi, nec dimittis me ut glutiam salivam meam? 20 Peccavi; quid faciam tibi, o custos hominum? quare posuisti me contrarium tibi, et factus sum mihimetipsi gravis? 21 Cur non tollis peccatum meum, et quare non aufers iniquitatem meam? ecce nunc in pulvere dormiam, et si mane me quæsieris, non subsistam.]

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. Quotes verse 7:16 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXIII)

    "For I shall not live alway, that I should suffer long." Next, his being conscious to himself of many good works.
