Notes on this text (1)

1 A Prayer of David. Bow down thy ear, O LORD, hear me: for I [am] poor and needy. 2 Preserve my soul; for I [am] holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. 3 Be merciful to me, O LORD: for I cry to thee daily. 4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for to thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. 5 For thou, LORD, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy to all them that call upon thee. 6 Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. 7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. 8 Among the gods [there is] none like thee, O LORD; neither [are there any works] like thy works. 9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O LORD; and shall glorify thy name. 10 For thou [art] great, and doest wondrous things: thou [art] God alone. 11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. 12 I will praise thee, O LORD my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. 13 For great [is] thy mercy towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. 14 O God, the proud have risen against me, and the assemblies of violent [men] have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them. 15 But thou, O LORD, [art] a God full of compassion, and gracious; long-suffering, and abundant in mercy and truth. 16 O turn to me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid. 17 Show me a token for good; that they who hate me may see [it] , and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.

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).

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 LXXXV)

    Its title is, "A Psalm for the end, to the sons of Core." Let us understand no other end than that of which the Apostle speaks: for, "Christ is the end of the law." Therefore when at the head of the title of the Psalm he placed the words, "for the end," he directed our heart to Christ.

  3. Quotes verse 86:8 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXVII)

    … so too, the Old Testament uses in the same way to correct the souls of the erring, by putting together in a way of comparison things that cannot be compared; as when it saith, "Among the gods there is none like unto Thee, O Lord:" and again, "There is no god like our God." Now some affirm, that Christ said …

  4. Quotes verse 86:4 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon II)

    … I may say of it, think ye that in this "body which presseth down the soul," I shall be able to say (in order that I may speak to you something worthy of the subject), "O Lord, I have lifted up my soul unto Thee." May He assist me, may He lift it up with me.
