1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, You have searched me, and know. 2 You have known my sitting down, || And my rising up, || You have attended to my thoughts from afar. 3 You have fanned my path and my lying down, || And have been acquainted [with] all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, || Behold, O YHWH, You have known it all! 5 You have besieged me behind and before, || And You place Your hand on me. 6 Knowledge too wonderful for me, || It has been set on high, || I am not able for it. 7 To where do I go from Your Spirit? And to where do I flee from Your face? 8 If I ascend the heavens—You [are] there, || And spread out a bed in Sheol, behold, You! 9 I take the wings of morning, || I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea, 10 Also there Your hand leads me, || And Your right hand holds me. 11 And I say, “Surely darkness bruises me,” || Then night [is] light to me. 12 Also darkness does not hide from You, || And night shines as day, || As [is] darkness so [is] light. 13 For You have possessed my reins, || You cover me in my mother’s belly. 14 I confess You, because I have been fearfully distinguished. Your works [are] wonderful, || And my soul is knowing [it] well. 15 My substance was not hid from You, || When I was made in secret, || Curiously worked in the lower part of earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance, || And all of them are written on Your scroll, || The days they were formed—And not one among them. 17 And how precious Your thoughts have been to me, || O God, how great has been their sum! 18 I recount them! They are more than the sand, || I have awoken, and I am still with You. 19 Do You slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me! 20 Who exchange You for wickedness, || Your enemies [are] lifted up to vanity. 21 Do I not hate, YHWH, those hating You? And grieve myself with Your withstanders? 22 I have hated them [with] perfect hatred, || They have become enemies to me. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart, || Try me, and know my thoughts, 24 And see if a grievous way be in me, || And lead me in a perpetual way!

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 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.
