1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea. 2 Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught 3 at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they release disaster upon me and revile me in their anger. 4 My heart murmurs within me, and the terrors of death assail me. 5 Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me. 6 I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest. 7 How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain. Selah 8 I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.” 9 O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city. 10 Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within. 11 Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets. 12 For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide. 13 But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend. 14 We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God. 15 Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes. 16 But I call to God, and the LORD saves me. 17 Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice. 18 He redeems my soul in peace from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me. 19 God will hear and humiliate them— the One enthroned for the ages— Selah because they do not change and they have no fear of God. 20 My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant. 21 His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed. 22 Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken. 23 But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.

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).
The title of this Psalm hath fruit in the prolixity thereof, if it be understood: and because the Psalm is short, let us make up our not having to tarry over the Psalm by tarrying over the title. For upon this dependeth every verse which is sung.

This is what the Prophet David proclaimed to us when He said, Cast thy burden on the Lord, and He will sustain thee.
