Notes on this text (2)

1 Oratio Moysi, hominis Dei. [Domine, refugium factus es nobis a generatione in generationem. 2 Priusquam montes fierent, aut formaretur terra et orbis, a sæculo et usque in sæculum tu es, Deus. 3 Ne avertas hominem in humilitatem: et dixisti: Convertimini, filii hominum. 4 Quoniam mille anni ante oculos tuos tamquam dies hesterna quæ præteriit: et custodia in nocte 5 quæ pro nihilo habentur, eorum anni erunt. 6 Mane sicut herba transeat; mane floreat, et transeat; vespere decidat, induret, et arescat. 7 Quia defecimus in ira tua, et in furore tuo turbati sumus. 8 Posuisti iniquitates nostras in conspectu tuo; sæculum nostrum in illuminatione vultus tui. 9 Quoniam omnes dies nostri defecerunt, et in ira tua defecimus. Anni nostri sicut aranea meditabuntur; 10 dies annorum nostrorum in ipsis septuaginta anni. Si autem in potentatibus octoginta anni, et amplius eorum labor et dolor; quoniam supervenit mansuetudo, et corripiemur. 11 Quis novit potestatem iræ tuæ, et præ timore tuo iram tuam 12 dinumerare? Dexteram tuam sic notam fac, et eruditos corde in sapientia. 13 Convertere, Domine; usquequo? et deprecabilis esto super servos tuos. 14 Repleti sumus mane misericordia tua; et exsultavimus, et delectati sumus omnibus diebus nostris. 15 Lætati sumus pro diebus quibus nos humiliasti; annis quibus vidimus mala. 16 Respice in servos tuos et in opera tua, et dirige filios eorum. 17 Et sit splendor Domini Dei nostri super nos, et opera manuum nostrarum dirige super nos, et opus manuum nostrarum dirige.]

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: 90.

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 LXXXIX)

    Understand, beloved, this Psalm, which I am about to explain, by the grace of God, of our hope in the Lord Jesus Christ, and be of good cheer, because He who promised, will fulfil all, as He has fulfilled much: for it is not our own merit, but His mercy, that gives us confidence in Him.

  2. Quotes verse 90:10 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XV, Chapters 13–14)

    … Abraham lived 175 of, and after him his son Isaac 180, and his son Jacob nearly 150, and some time after, Moses 120, and men now seventy or eighty, or not much longer, of which years it is said, "their strength is labor and sorrow." But that discrepancy of numbers which is found to exist between our own and the …

  3. Quotes verse 90:4 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapters XIII–XIII)

    Or if even this is so (for time flies, and a thousand years are in God's sight as one day, or as a watch in the night,) yet we cannot believe that He intended any such meaning on this occasion, especially as He went on to say, "Ye shall seek me, and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I …
