Notes on this text (2)

1 Psalmus ipsi David. [Noli æmulari in malignantibus, neque zelaveris facientes iniquitatem: 2 quoniam tamquam fœnum velociter arescent, et quemadmodum olera herbarum cito decident. 3 Spera in Domino, et fac bonitatem; et inhabita terram, et pasceris in divitiis ejus. 4 Delectare in Domino, et dabit tibi petitiones cordis tui. 5 Revela Domino viam tuam, et spera in eo, et ipse faciet. 6 Et educet quasi lumen justitiam tuam, et judicium tuum tamquam meridiem. 7 Subditus esto Domino, et ora eum. Noli æmulari in eo qui prosperatur in via sua; in homine faciente injustitias. 8 Desine ab ira, et derelinque furorem; noli æmulari ut maligneris. 9 Quoniam qui malignantur exterminabuntur; sustinentes autem Dominum, ipsi hæreditabunt terram. 10 Et adhuc pusillum, et non erit peccator; et quæres locum ejus, et non invenies. 11 Mansueti autem hæreditabunt terram, et delectabuntur in multitudine pacis. 12 Observabit peccator justum, et stridebit super eum dentibus suis. 13 Dominus autem irridebit eum, quoniam prospicit quod veniet dies ejus. 14 Gladium evaginaverunt peccatores; intenderunt arcum suum: ut dejiciant pauperem et inopem, ut trucident rectos corde. 15 Gladius eorum intret in corda ipsorum, et arcus eorum confringatur. 16 Melius est modicum justo, super divitias peccatorum multas: 17 quoniam brachia peccatorum conterentur: confirmat autem justos Dominus. 18 Novit Dominus dies immaculatorum, et hæreditas eorum in æternum erit. 19 Non confundentur in tempore malo, et in diebus famis saturabuntur: 20 quia peccatores peribunt. Inimici vero Domini mox ut honorificati fuerint et exaltati, deficientes quemadmodum fumus deficient. 21 Mutuabitur peccator, et non solvet; justus autem miseretur et tribuet: 22 quia benedicentes ei hæreditabunt terram; maledicentes autem ei disperibunt. 23 Apud Dominum gressus hominis dirigentur, et viam ejus volet. 24 Cum ceciderit, non collidetur, quia Dominus supponit manum suam. 25 Junior fui, etenim senui; et non vidi justum derelictum, nec semen ejus quærens panem. 26 Tota die miseretur et commodat; et semen illius in benedictione erit. 27 Declina a malo, et fac bonum, et inhabita in sæculum sæculi: 28 quia Dominus amat judicium, et non derelinquet sanctos suos: in æternum conservabuntur. Injusti punientur, et semen impiorum peribit. 29 Justi autem hæreditabunt terram, et inhabitabunt in sæculum sæculi super eam. 30 Os justi meditabitur sapientiam, et lingua ejus loquetur judicium. 31 Lex Dei ejus in corde ipsius, et non supplantabuntur gressus ejus. 32 Considerat peccator justum, et quærit mortificare eum. 33 Dominus autem non derelinquet eum in manibus ejus, nec damnabit eum cum judicabitur illi. 34 Exspecta Dominum, et custodi viam ejus, et exaltabit te ut hæreditate capias terram: cum perierint peccatores, videbis. 35 Vidi impium superexaltatum, et elevatum sicut cedros Libani: 36 et transivi, et ecce non erat; et quæsivi eum, et non est inventus locus ejus. 37 Custodi innocentiam, et vide æquitatem, quoniam sunt reliquiæ homini pacifico. 38 Injusti autem disperibunt simul; reliquiæ impiorum interibunt. 39 Salus autem justorum a Domino; et protector eorum in tempore tribulationis. 40 Et adjuvabit eos Dominus, et liberabit eos; et eruet eos a peccatoribus, et salvabit eos, quia speraverunt in eo.]

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: 37.

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 XXXVI)

    "The ungodly hath said in himself that he will sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes" (ver. 1). Not of one man, but of a race of ungodly men he speaketh, who fight against their own selves, by not understanding, that so they may live well; not because they cannot, but because they will not.

  2. Quotes verse 37:23 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book V, Chapters VII–VIII)

    It was Thou, O my God, who didst it, for the steps of a man are ordered by the Lord, and He shall dispose his way. Or how can we procure salvation but from Thy hand, remaking what it hath made?

  3. Quotes verse 37:11 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XV)

    And besides, since in the Old Testament the prophet used to say continually, "The meek shall inherit the earth;" He thus weaves into His discourse the words to which they were accustomed, so as not everywhere to speak a strange language.

  5. Quotes verse 37:11 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XXXI)

    … saith, "Great peace have they who love Thy law, and nothing is an offence to them." To this sentiment also agrees the passage which we have chanted in course; "But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace." Because, "great peace have they who love Thy law." For these "meek" ones are they …
