Notes on this text (2)

1 Canticum Psalmi, filiis Core, in finem, pro Maheleth ad respondendum. Intellectus Eman Ezrahitæ. 2 [Domine, Deus salutis meæ, in die clamavi et nocte coram te. 3 Intret in conspectu tuo oratio mea, inclina aurem tuam ad precem meam. 4 Quia repleta est malis anima mea, et vita mea inferno appropinquavit. 5 Æstimatus sum cum descendentibus in lacum, factus sum sicut homo sine adjutorio, 6 inter mortuos liber; sicut vulnerati dormientes in sepulchris, quorum non es memor amplius, et ipsi de manu tua repulsi sunt. 7 Posuerunt me in lacu inferiori, in tenebrosis, et in umbra mortis. 8 Super me confirmatus est furor tuus, et omnes fluctus tuos induxisti super me. 9 Longe fecisti notos meos a me; posuerunt me abominationem sibi. Traditus sum, et non egrediebar; 10 oculi mei languerunt præ inopia. Clamavi ad te, Domine, tota die; expandi ad te manus meas. 11 Numquid mortuis facies mirabilia? aut medici suscitabunt, et confitebuntur tibi? 12 Numquid narrabit aliquis in sepulchro misericordiam tuam, et veritatem tuam in perditione? 13 Numquid cognoscentur in tenebris mirabilia tua? et justitia tua in terra oblivionis? 14 Et ego ad te, Domine, clamavi, et mane oratio mea præveniet te. 15 Ut quid, Domine, repellis orationem meam; avertis faciem tuam a me? 16 Pauper sum ego, et in laboribus a juventute mea; exaltatus autem, humiliatus sum et conturbatus. 17 In me transierunt iræ tuæ, et terrores tui conturbaverunt me: 18 circumdederunt me sicut aqua tota die; circumdederunt me simul. 19 Elongasti a me amicum et proximum, et notos meos a miseria.]

“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 LXXXVII)

    The Psalm which has just been sung is short, if we look to the number of its words, but of deep interest in its thoughts....The subject of song and praise in that Psalm is a city, whose citizens are we, as far as we are Christians: whence we are absent, as long as we are mortal: whither we are tending: …
