1 [Hominis est animam præparare, et Domini gubernare linguam. 2 Omnes viæ hominis patent oculis ejus; spirituum ponderator est Dominus. 3 Revela Domino opera tua, et dirigentur cogitationes tuæ. 4 Universa propter semetipsum operatus est Dominus; impium quoque ad diem malum. 5 Abominatio Domini est omnis arrogans; etiamsi manus ad manum fuerit, non est innocens. Initium viæ bonæ facere justitiam; accepta est autem apud Deum magis quam immolare hostias. 6 Misericordia et veritate redimitur iniquitas, et in timore Domini declinatur a malo. 7 Cum placuerint Domino viæ hominis, inimicos quoque ejus convertet ad pacem. 8 Melius est parum cum justitia quam multi fructus cum iniquitate. 9 Cor hominis disponit viam suam, sed Domini est dirigere gressus ejus.] 10 [Divinatio in labiis regis; in judicio non errabit os ejus. 11 Pondus et statera judicia Domini sunt, et opera ejus omnes lapides sacculi. 12 Abominabiles regi qui agunt impie, quoniam justitia firmatur solium. 13 Voluntas regum labia justa; qui recta loquitur diligetur. 14 Indignatio regis nuntii mortis, et vir sapiens placabit eam. 15 In hilaritate vultus regis vita, et clementia ejus quasi imber serotinus.] 16 [Posside sapientiam, quia auro melior est, et acquire prudentiam, quia pretiosior est argento. 17 Semita justorum declinat mala; custos animæ suæ servat viam suam. 18 Contritionem præcedit superbia, et ante ruinam exaltatur spiritus. 19 Melius est humiliari cum mitibus quam dividere spolia cum superbis. 20 Eruditus in verbo reperiet bona, et qui sperat in Domino beatus est. 21 Qui sapiens est corde appellabitur prudens, et qui dulcis eloquio majora percipiet. 22 Fons vitæ eruditio possidentis; doctrina stultorum fatuitas.] 23 [Cor sapientis erudiet os ejus, et labiis ejus addet gratiam. 24 Favus mellis composita verba; dulcedo animæ sanitas ossium. 25 Est via quæ videtur homini recta, et novissima ejus ducunt ad mortem. 26 Anima laborantis laborat sibi, quia compulit eum os suum. 27 Vir impius fodit malum, et in labiis ejus ignis ardescit. 28 Homo perversus suscitat lites, et verbosus separat principes. 29 Vir iniquus lactat amicum suum, et ducit eum per viam non bonam. 30 Qui attonitis oculis cogitat prava, mordens labia sua perficit malum. 31 Corona dignitatis senectus, quæ in viis justitiæ reperietur. 32 Melior est patiens viro forti, et qui dominatur animo suo expugnatore urbium. 33 Sortes mittuntur in sinum, sed a Domino temperantur.]

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 16:32 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm VII)

    … which seeth in secret will reward." Lest then he repay them that recompense evil, he overcomes his anger rather than another man, being instructed too by those writings, wherein it is written, "Better is he that overcometh his anger, than he that taketh a city." "If I have repaid them that recompense me evil, may I therefore fall by my …
