Notes on this text (2)

1 In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, quando misit Saul et custodivit domum ejus ut eum interficeret. 2 [Eripe me de inimicis meis, Deus meus, et ab insurgentibus in me libera me. 3 Eripe me de operantibus iniquitatem, et de viris sanguinum salva me. 4 Quia ecce ceperunt animam meam; irruerunt in me fortes. 5 Neque iniquitas mea, neque peccatum meum, Domine; sine iniquitate cucurri, et direxi. 6 Exsurge in occursum meum, et vide: et tu, Domine Deus virtutum, Deus Israël, intende ad visitandas omnes gentes: non miserearis omnibus qui operantur iniquitatem. 7 Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes: et circuibunt civitatem. 8 Ecce loquentur in ore suo, et gladius in labiis eorum: quoniam quis audivit? 9 Et tu, Domine, deridebis eos; ad nihilum deduces omnes gentes. 10 Fortitudinem meam ad te custodiam, quia, Deus, susceptor meus es: 11 Deus meus misericordia ejus præveniet me. 12 Deus ostendet mihi super inimicos meos: ne occidas eos, nequando obliviscantur populi mei. Disperge illos in virtute tua, et depone eos, protector meus, Domine: 13 delictum oris eorum, sermonem labiorum ipsorum; et comprehendantur in superbia sua. Et de execratione et mendacio annuntiabuntur 14 in consummatione: in ira consummationis, et non erunt. Et scient quia Deus dominabitur Jacob, et finium terræ. 15 Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes: et circuibunt civitatem. 16 Ipsi dispergentur ad manducandum; si vero non fuerint saturati, et murmurabunt. 17 Ego autem cantabo fortitudinem tuam, et exsultabo mane misericordiam tuam: quia factus es susceptor meus, et refugium meum in die tribulationis meæ. 18 Adjutor meus, tibi psallam, quia Deus susceptor meus es; Deus meus, misericordia mea.]

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: 59.

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 LVIII)

    The words which we have sung must be rather hearkened to by us, than proclaimed. For to all men as it were in an assemblage of mankind, the Truth crieth, "If truly indeed justice ye speak, judge right things, ye sons of men" (ver. 1). For to what unjust man is it not an easy thing to speak justice?

  2. Quotes verse 59:9 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIII, Chapters 21–23)

    … with fears and sorrows, he may cry, if there be yet soul in him to feel his ills, in the words of the psalm, "My soul is cast down within me," and when chastened, may say," Because of his strength I will wait upon Thee." These and similar allegorical interpretations may be suitably put upon Paradise without giving offence to …

  3. Quotes verse 59:6 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XIII)

    … that He was put in bonds before the gates of the city, thou hast heard before, if thou rememberest the exposition of the Psalm, which has told the time and the place; how they returned at evening, and hungered like dogs, and encompassed the city.
