Pasado el sábado, al amanecer del primer día de la semana se produjo un gran terremoto, pues un ángel del Señor bajó del cielo, llegó al sepulcro y apartando la piedra se sentó sobre ella. Su aspecto era como el del relámpago y su vestido blanco como la nieve. La guardia sintió tal miedo y turbación, que se quedaron como muertos.
Este es uno de los siete salmos penitenciales. Es el salmo por excelencia y con una gran profundidad religiosa. El salmista pide al Señor que lo purifique y lo renueve interiormente, para que él, a su vez, pueda dar testimonio de la misericordia divina y trabajar por la conversión de los pecadores.
