1 In finem. Psalmus David, pro extasi. 2 [In te, Domine, speravi; non confundar in æternum: in justitia tua libera me. 3 Inclina ad me aurem tuam; accelera ut eruas me. Esto mihi in Deum protectorem, et in domum refugii, ut salvum me facias: 4 quoniam fortitudo mea et refugium meum es tu; et propter nomen tuum deduces me et enutries me. 5 Educes me de laqueo hoc quem absconderunt mihi, quoniam tu es protector meus. 6 In manus tuas commendo spiritum meum; redemisti me, Domine Deus veritatis. 7 Odisti observantes vanitates supervacue; ego autem in Domino speravi. 8 Exsultabo, et lætabor in misericordia tua, quoniam respexisti humilitatem meam; salvasti de necessitatibus animam meam. 9 Nec conclusisti me in manibus inimici: statuisti in loco spatioso pedes meos. 10 Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam tribulor; conturbatus est in ira oculus meus, anima mea, et venter meus. 11 Quoniam defecit in dolore vita mea, et anni mei in gemitibus. Infirmata est in paupertate virtus mea, et ossa mea conturbata sunt. 12 Super omnes inimicos meos factus sum opprobrium, et vicinis meis valde, et timor notis meis; qui videbant me foras fugerunt a me. 13 Oblivioni datus sum, tamquam mortuus a corde; factus sum tamquam vas perditum: 14 quoniam audivi vituperationem multorum commorantium in circuitu. In eo dum convenirent simul adversum me, accipere animam meam consiliati sunt. 15 Ego autem in te speravi, Domine; dixi: Deus meus es tu; 16 in manibus tuis sortes meæ: eripe me de manu inimicorum meorum, et a persequentibus me. 17 Illustra faciem tuam super servum tuum; salvum me fac in misericordia tua. 18 Domine, non confundar, quoniam invocavi te. Erubescant impii, et deducantur in infernum; 19 muta fiant labia dolosa, quæ loquuntur adversus justum iniquitatem, in superbia, et in abusione. 20 Quam magna multitudo dulcedinis tuæ, Domine, quam abscondisti timentibus te; perfecisti eis qui sperant in te in conspectu filiorum hominum ! 21 Abscondes eos in abscondito faciei tuæ a conturbatione hominum; proteges eos in tabernaculo tuo, a contradictione linguarum. 22 Benedictus Dominus, quoniam mirificavit misericordiam suam mihi in civitate munita. 23 Ego autem dixi in excessu mentis meæ: Projectus sum a facie oculorum tuorum: ideo exaudisti vocem orationis meæ, dum clamarem ad te. 24 Diligite Dominum, omnes sancti ejus, quoniam veritatem requiret Dominus, et retribuet abundanter facientibus superbiam. 25 Viriliter agite, et confortetur cor vestrum, omnes qui speratis in Domino.]

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: 31.
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).
To the end, a Psalm of the joy of the Resurrection, and the change, the renewing of the body to an immortal state, and not only of the Lord, but also of the whole Church.

However, they think that the divine oracles are not altogether silent on this point; for they ask to what purpose is it said, "How great is Thy goodness which Thou hast hidden for them that fear Thee," if it be not to teach us that the great and hidden sweetness of God's mercy is concealed in order that men may …

But that these perversely compassionate persons may see what is the purport of these words, "How great is the abundance of Thy sweetness, Lord, which Thou hast hidden for them that fear Thee," let them read what follows: "And Thou hast perfected it for them that hope in Thee." For what means, "Thou hast hidden it for them that fear …
