1 [Sicut divisiones aquarum, ita cor regis in manu Domini: quocumque voluerit, inclinabit illud. 2 Omnis via viri recta sibi videtur: appendit autem corda Dominus. 3 Facere misericordiam et judicium magis placet Domino quam victimæ. 4 Exaltatio oculorum est dilatatio cordis; lucerna impiorum peccatum. 5 Cogitationes robusti semper in abundantia; omnis autem piger semper in egestate est.] 6 [Qui congregat thesauros lingua mendacii vanus et excors est, et impingetur ad laqueos mortis. 7 Rapinæ impiorum detrahent eos, quia noluerunt facere judicium. 8 Perversa via viri aliena est; qui autem mundus est, rectum opus ejus. 9 Melius est sedere in angulo domatis, quam cum muliere litigiosa, et in domo communi. 10 Anima impii desiderat malum: non miserebitur proximo suo. 11 Mulctato pestilente, sapientior erit parvulus, et si sectetur sapientem, sumet scientiam. 12 Excogitat justus de domo impii, ut detrahat impios a malo.] 13 [Qui obturat aurem suam ad clamorem pauperis, et ipse clamabit, et non exaudietur. 14 Munus absconditum extinguit iras, et donum in sinu indignationem maximam. 15 Gaudium justo est facere judicium, et pavor operantibus iniquitatem. 16 Vir qui erraverit a via doctrinæ in cœtu gigantum commorabitur. 17 Qui diligit epulas in egestate erit; qui amat vinum et pinguia non ditabitur. 18 Pro justo datur impius, et pro rectis iniquus. 19 Melius est habitare in terra deserta quam cum muliere rixosa et iracunda. 20 Thesaurus desiderabilis, et oleum in habitaculo justi: et imprudens homo dissipabit illud. 21 Qui sequitur justitiam et misericordiam inveniet vitam, justitiam, et gloriam. 22 Civitatem fortium ascendit sapiens, et destruxit robur fiduciæ ejus. 23 Qui custodit os suum et linguam suam custodit ab angustiis animam suam. 24 Superbus et arrogans vocatur indoctus, qui in ira operatur superbiam. 25 Desideria occidunt pigrum: noluerunt enim quidquam manus ejus operari. 26 Tota die concupiscit et desiderat; qui autem justus est, tribuet, et non cessabit. 27 Hostiæ impiorum abominabiles, quia offeruntur ex scelere. 28 Testis mendax peribit; vir obediens loquetur victoriam. 29 Vir impius procaciter obfirmat vultum suum; qui autem rectus est corrigit viam suam. 30 Non est sapientia, non est prudentia, non est consilium contra Dominum. 31 Equus paratur ad diem belli; Dominus autem salutem tribuit.]

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 21:1 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book V, Chapter XIX)

    … end, when he said, "All these are delivered unto me, and to whomsoever I will I give them." For it is not he who has appointed the kingdoms of this world, but God; for "the heart of the king is in the hand of God." And the Word also says by Solomon, "By me kings do reign, and princes administer …

  2. Quotes verse 21:1 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CIV)

    For the waters are fled from the rebuke of God; because "the heart of kings is in the hand of God, He hath bent it whither He would;" He commanded peace to be given by them to the Christians; the authority of the Apostles sprang up and towered high....The waters fled from the rebuke of God.

  3. Quotes verse 21:20 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CIV)

    Let each, as he can recall to mind what he hath heard, by mutual conversation stir up the food ye have received, ruminate on what ye have heard, let it not descend in you into the bowels of forgetfulness. Let the treasure to be desired rest upon your lips.
