1 For the music director. According to “Dove on Distant Oaks.” A psalm (miktam) of David concerning the time the Philistines captured him in Gath. God, please be gracious to me, for people are persecuting me; my attackers fight against me all day long. 2 My enemies chase me down all the time—there are many of them, attacking me in their arrogance. 3 But when I'm afraid, I trust in you. 4 I thank God for his promises. I trust in God, so why should I be fearful? What can mere human beings do to me? 5 They constantly twist my words against me; they spend all their time thinking of evil things to do to me. 6 They gather together in their hiding places to keep watch on me, hoping to kill me. 7 Will they escape when they do so much evil? God, in anger bring these people down! 8 You've kept track of all my wanderings. You've collected all my tears in your bottle. You've kept a record of each one. 9 Then those who hate me will run away when I call for your help. For I know this: God is for me! 10 I thank God for his promises. I thank the Lord for his promises. 11 I trust in God, so why should I be fearful? What can mere human beings do to me? 12 God, I will keep my promises to you. I will give thank offerings to you, 13 for you have saved me from death and kept me from falling. Now I walk in the presence of God, in the light that gives life.

Lo que dijeron los Padres

«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.

Of this Psalm the title is: "At the end, in hymns, understanding to David himself." What the "end" is, we will briefly call to your recollection, because ye have known it. "For the end of the Law is Christ, for righteousness unto every man believing." Be the attention therefore directed unto the End, directed unto Christ.
