1 Wine is an intemperate thing, and strong drink full of violence: But every fool is entangled with them. 2 The threat of a king differs not from the rage of a lion; And he that provokes him sins against his own soul. 3 [It is] a glory to a man to turn aside from railing; But every fool is entangled with such matters. 4 A sluggard when reproached is not ashamed: So also he who borrows corn in harvest. 5 Counsel in a man’s heart is deep water; But a prudent man will draw it out. 6 A man is valuable, and a merciful man precious: But [it is] hard to find a faithful man. 7 He that walks blameless in justice, Shall leave his children blessed. 8 Whenever a righteous king sits on the throne, No evil thing can stand before his presence. 9 Who will boast that he has a pure heart? Or who will boldly say that he is pure from sins? 9a The lamp of him that reviles father or mother shall be put out, And his eyeballs shall see darkness. 9b A portion hastily gotten at first Shall not be blessed in the end. 9c Say not, I will avenge myself on my enemy; But wait on the Lord, that he may help thee. 10 A large and small weight, and diverse measures, Are even both of them unclean before the Lord; And [so is] he that makes them. 11 A youth [when in company] with a godly man, will be restrained in his devices, And [then] his way will be straight. 12 The ear hears, and the eye sees: Even both of them are the Lord’s work. 13 Love not to speak ill, lest thou be cut off: Open thine eyes, and be filled with bread. 23 A double weight is an abomination to the Lord; And a deceitful balance is not good in his sight. 24 A man’s goings are directed of the Lord: How then can a mortal understand his ways? 25 It is a snare to a man hastily to consecrate some of his own property: For [in that case] repentance comes after vowing. 26 A wise king utterly crushes the ungodly, And will bring a wheel upon them. 27 The spirit of man is a light of the Lord, Who searches the inmost parts of the belly. 28 Mercy and truth are a guard to a king, And will surround his throne with righteousness. 29 Wisdom is an ornament to young men; And gray [hairs] are the glory of old men. 30 Bruises and contusions befall bad men; And plagues [shall come] into the inward parts of [their] belly.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
For [the Scripture] saith in a certain place, "The Spirit of the Lord is a candle searching the secret parts of the belly." Let us reflect how near He is, and that none of the thoughts or reasonings in which we engage are hid from Him.
Because, "When the righteous King sitteth on the throne, who will glory that his heart is pure?" It may be thou dost not discover anything in thine own conscience; but He who seeth better, whose Divine glance penetrateth into deeper things, discovereth it may be something, He seeth it may be something, He discovereth something.

Here then it is further required, that each of you be found faithful in his conscience: for a faithful man it is hard to find: not that thou shouldest shew thy conscience to me, for thou art not to be judged of man's judgment; but that thou shew the sincerity of thy faith to God, who trieth the reins …

So too it is said by Solomon, "For the wise king is the winnower of the ungodly, and he bringeth on them the wheel of the wicked.--After Thine height Thou hast multiplied the sons of men." For there is in temporal things too a multiplication, which turns away from the unity of God.

For there be many that please themselves, and think themselves righteous; and there is another passage which goeth against them, which saith, "Who shall boast that he hath a clean heart, and that he is pure from sin?" There is then, so to speak, a limit to glorying in our conscience, namely, to know that thy faith is sincere, thy …
