1 For the end, a Psalm for Asaph, concerning the winepresses. 2 Rejoice ye in God our helper; Shout aloud to the God of Jacob. 3 Take a psalm, and produce the timbrel, The pleasant psaltery with the harp. 4 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, In the glorious day of your feast. 5 For [this] is an ordinance for Israel, And a statute of the God of Jacob. 6 He made it [to be] a testimony in Joseph, When he came forth out of the land of Egypt: He heard a language which he understood not. 7 He removed his back from burdens: His hands slaved in making the baskets. 8 Thou didst call upon me in trouble, and I delivered thee; I heard thee in the secret place of the storm: I proved thee at the water of Strife. Pause. 9 Hear, my people, and I will speak to thee, O Israel; And I will testify to thee: if thou wilt hearken to me; 10 There shall be no new god in thee; Neither shalt thou worship a strange god. 11 For I am the Lord thy God, That brought thee out of the land of Egypt: Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. 12 But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel gave no heed to me. 13 So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: They will go on in their own ways. 14 If my people had hearkened to me, If Israel had walked in my ways, 15 I should have put down their enemies very quickly, And should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them. 16 The Lord’s enemies [should have] lied to him: But their time shall be forever. 17 And he fed them with the fat of wheat; And satisfied them with honey out of the rock.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 81.
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
If perchance things obscure demand the office of an interpreter, those things which are evident ought to require of me the office of a reader. The song here is of the Advent of the Lord and of our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of His vineyard.
