1 In finem, pro Idithun. Psalmus Asaph. 2 [Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi; voce mea ad Deum, et intendit mihi. 3 In die tribulationis meæ Deum exquisivi; manibus meis nocte contra eum, et non sum deceptus. Renuit consolari anima mea; 4 memor fui Dei, et delectatus sum, et exercitatus sum, et defecit spiritus meus. 5 Anticipaverunt vigilias oculi mei; turbatus sum, et non sum locutus. 6 Cogitavi dies antiquos, et annos æternos in mente habui. 7 Et meditatus sum nocte cum corde meo, et exercitabar, et scopebam spiritum meum. 8 Numquid in æternum projiciet Deus? aut non apponet ut complacitior sit adhuc? 9 aut in finem misericordiam suam abscindet, a generatione in generationem? 10 aut obliviscetur misereri Deus? aut continebit in ira sua misericordias suas? 11 Et dixi: Nunc cœpi; hæc mutatio dexteræ Excelsi. 12 Memor fui operum Domini, quia memor ero ab initio mirabilium tuorum: 13 et meditabor in omnibus operibus tuis, et in adinventionibus tuis exercebor. 14 Deus, in sancto via tua: quis deus magnus sicut Deus noster? 15 Tu es Deus qui facis mirabilia: notam fecisti in populis virtutem tuam. 16 Redemisti in brachio tuo populum tuum, filios Jacob et Joseph. 17 Viderunt te aquæ, Deus; viderunt te aquæ, et timuerunt: et turbatæ sunt abyssi. 18 Multitudo sonitus aquarum; vocem dederunt nubes. Etenim sagittæ tuæ transeunt; 19 vox tonitrui tui in rota. Illuxerunt coruscationes tuæ orbi terræ; commota est, et contremuit terra. 20 In mari via tua, et semitæ tuæ in aquis multis, et vestigia tua non cognoscentur. 21 Deduxisti sicut oves populum tuum, in manu Moysi et Aaron.]

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: 77.
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).
The Jews are wont to glory in this Psalm which we have sung, saying, "Known in Judæa is God, in Israel great is the name of Him:" and to revile the Gentiles to whom God is not known, and to say that to themselves alone God is known; seeing that the Prophet saith, "Known in Judæa is God." In other …
