1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. O Lord, you have examined me, and you have known me. 2 You have known my sitting down and my rising up again. 3 You have understood my thoughts from afar. My path and my fate, you have investigated. 4 And you have foreseen all my ways. For there is no word in my tongue. 5 Behold, O Lord, you have known all things: the newest and the very old. You have formed me, and you have placed your hand over me. 6 Your knowledge has become a wonder to me. It has been reinforced, and I am not able to prevail against it. 7 Where will I go from your Spirit? And where will I flee from your face? 8 If I ascend into heaven, you are there. If I descend into Hell, you are near. 9 If I assume my feathers in early morning, and dwell in the utmost parts of the sea, 10 even there, your hand will lead me forth, and your right hand will hold me. 11 And I said: Perhaps darkness will overwhelm me, and the night will be my illumination, to my delight. 12 But darkness will not be impenetrable to you, and night will illuminate like the day: for just as its darkness is, so also is its light. 13 For you have possessed my temperament. You have supported me from the womb of my mother. 14 I will confess to you, for you have been magnified terribly. Your works are miraculous, as my soul knows exceedingly well. 15 My bone, which you have made in secret, has not been hidden from you, and my substance is in accord with the lower parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my imperfection, and all this shall be written in your book. Days will be formed, and no one shall be in them. 17 But to me, O God, your friends have been greatly honored. Their first ruler has been exceedingly strengthened. 18 I will number them, and they will be more numerous than the sand. I rose up, and I am still with you. 19 O God, if only you would cut down sinners. You men of blood: depart from me. 20 For you say in thought: They will accept your cities in vain. 21 Have I not hated those who hated you, Lord, and wasted away because of your enemies? 22 I have hated them with a perfect hatred, and they have become enemies to me. 23 Examine me, O God, and know my heart. Question me, and know my paths. 24 And see if there might be in me the way of iniquity, and lead me in the way of eternity.

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. Versículos con numeración hebrea: 139.
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 is brief and simple, and need not detain us; since we know whose resemblance David wore, and since in him we recognise ourselves also, for we too are members of that Body. The whole title is, "To David himself." Let us see then, what is to David himself.

If I ascend into heaven, Thou art there; if I go away even to the uttermost parts of the earth, there is Thy right hand; if I make my bed in the abyss, there is Thy Spirit." Whither, then, shall any one go, or where shall he escape from Him who comprehends all things?
For whither fled they when they fled from Thy presence? Or where dost Thou not find them?

… have dared to circumscribe God's providence by the clouds and the heaven, and to alienate from God the things on earth; having forgotten the Psalm which says, If I go up into heaven, Thou art there, if I go down into hell, Thou art present.

Yet the beholding of heaven and earth does not make us know God better than the attentive study of our being does; I am, says the Prophet, fearfully and wonderfully made; that is to say, in observing myself I have known Thy infinite wisdom.
