1 Huic David, quando terra ejus restituta est. [Dominus regnavit: exsultet terra; lætentur insulæ multæ. 2 Nubes et caligo in circuitu ejus; justitia et judicium correctio sedis ejus. 3 Ignis ante ipsum præcedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos ejus. 4 Illuxerunt fulgura ejus orbi terræ; vidit, et commota est terra. 5 Montes sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini; a facie Domini omnis terra. 6 Annuntiaverunt cæli justitiam ejus, et viderunt omnes populi gloriam ejus. 7 Confundantur omnes qui adorant sculptilia, et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli ejus. 8 Audivit, et lætata est Sion, et exsultaverunt filiæ Judæ propter judicia tua, Domine. 9 Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram; nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos. 10 Qui diligitis Dominum, odite malum: custodit Dominus animas sanctorum suorum; de manu peccatoris liberabit eos. 11 Lux orta est justo, et rectis corde lætitia. 12 Lætamini, justi, in Domino, et confitemini memoriæ sanctificationis ejus.]

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: 97.
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).
My lord and brother Severus still defers the pleasure we shall feel in his discourse, which he oweth us; for he acknowledgeth, that he is held a debtor.

Thus doth God ever appear. "For a cloud and darkness are round about Him;" and, "He sitteth on a light cloud;" and again, "Who maketh clouds His chariot;" and, "A cloud received Him out of their sight;" and, "As the Son of Man coming in the clouds." In order then that they might believe that the voice proceeds from God, …
