1 In finem. In hymnis David. 2 [Exaudi, Deus, deprecationem meam; intende orationi meæ. 3 A finibus terræ ad te clamavi, dum anxiaretur cor meum; in petra exaltasti me. Deduxisti me, 4 quia factus es spes mea: turris fortitudinis a facie inimici. 5 Inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in sæcula; protegar in velamento alarum tuarum. 6 Quoniam tu, Deus meus, exaudisti orationem meam; dedisti hæreditatem timentibus nomen tuum. 7 Dies super dies regis adjicies; annos ejus usque in diem generationis et generationis. 8 Permanet in æternum in conspectu Dei: misericordiam et veritatem ejus quis requiret? 9 Sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in sæculum sæculi, ut reddam vota mea de die in diem.]

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: 61.
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).
David the king was one man, but not one man he figured; sometimes to wit he figured the Church of many men consisting, extended even unto the ends of the earth: but sometimes One Man he figured, Him he figured that is Mediator of God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.
