Notes on this text (2)

1 In finem. Psalmus David. 2 [Domine, in virtute tua lætabitur rex, et super salutare tuum exsultabit vehementer. 3 Desiderium cordis ejus tribuisti ei, et voluntate labiorum ejus non fraudasti eum. 4 Quoniam prævenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis; posuisti in capite ejus coronam de lapide pretioso. 5 Vitam petiit a te, et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum, in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi. 6 Magna est gloria ejus in salutari tuo; gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum. 7 Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in sæculum sæculi; lætificabis eum in gaudio cum vultu tuo. 8 Quoniam rex sperat in Domino, et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur. 9 Inveniatur manus tua omnibus inimicis tuis; dextera tua inveniat omnes qui te oderunt. 10 Pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui: Dominus in ira sua conturbabit eos, et devorabit eos ignis. 11 Fructum eorum de terra perdes, et semen eorum a filiis hominum, 12 quoniam declinaverunt in te mala; cogitaverunt consilia quæ non potuerunt stabilire. 13 Quoniam pones eos dorsum; in reliquiis tuis præparabis vultum eorum. 14 Exaltare, Domine, in virtute tua; cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas.]

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). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 21.

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 XX)

    This is a well-known title; and it is not Christ who speaks; but the prophet speaks to Christ, under the form of wishing, foretelling things to come. 2. "The Lord hear Thee in the day of trouble" (ver. 1).
