1 Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς δοξάσω σε, ὑμνήσω τὸ ὄνομά σου, ὅτι ἐποίησας θαυμαστὰ πράγματα, βουλὴν ἀρχαίαν ἀληθινήν· γένοιτο. 2 Ὅτι ἔθηκας πόλεις εἰς χῶμα, πόλεις ὀχυρὰς τοῦ μὴ πεσεῖν αὐτῶν τὰ θεμέλια· τῶν ἀσεβῶν πόλις τὸν αἰῶνα οὐ μὴ οἰκοδομηθῇ. 3 Διατοῦτο εὐλογήσει σε ὁ λαὸς ὁ πτωχὸς, καὶ πόλεις ἀνθρώπων ἀδικουμένων εὐλογήσουσί σε. 4 Ἐγένου γὰρ πάσῃ πόλει ταπεινῇ βοηθὸς, καὶ τοῖς ἀθυμήσασιν διʼ ἔνδειαν σκέπη, ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπων πονηρῶν ῥύσῃ αὐτούς· σκέπη διψώντων, καὶ πνεῦμα ἀνθρώπων ἀδικουμένων. 5 Ὡς ἄνθρωποι ὀλιγόψυχοι διψῶντες ἐν Σιὼν, ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπων ἀσεβῶν, οἷς ἡμᾶς παρέδωκας. 6 Καὶ ποιήσει Κύριος σαβαὼθ πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν· ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος τοῦτο πίονται εὐφροσύνην, πίονται οἶνον· 7 Χρίσονται μύρον ἐν τῷ ὄρει τούτῳ· παράδος ταῦτα πάντα τοῖς ἔθνεσιν· ἡ γὰρ βουλὴ αὕτη ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη. 8 Κατέπιεν ὁ θάνατος ἰσχύσας, καὶ πάλιν ἀφεῖλε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς πᾶν δάκρυον ἀπὸ παντὸς προσώπου· τὸ ὄνειδος τοῦ λαοῦ ἀφεῖλεν ἀπὸ πάσης τῆς γῆς, τὸ γὰρ στόμα Κυρίου ἐλάλησε. 9 Καὶ ἐροῦσι τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ἰδοὺ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐφʼ ᾧ ἠλπίζομεν, καὶ σώσει ἡμᾶς· οὗτος Κύριος, ὑπεμείναμεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἠγαλλιώμεθα καὶ εὐφρανθησόμεθα ἐπὶ τῇ σωτηρίᾳ ἡμῶν. 10 Ἀνάπαυσιν δώσει ὁ Θεὸς ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος τοῦτο, καὶ καταπατηθήσεται ἡ Μωαβίτις, ὃν τρόπον πατοῦσιν ἅλωνα ἐν ἁμάξαις. 11 Καὶ ἀνήσει τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ, ὃν τρόπον καὶ αὐτὸς ἐταπείνωσε τοῦ ἀπολέσαι· καὶ ταπεινώσει τὴν ὕβριν αὐτοῦ, ἐφʼ ἃ τὰς χεῖρας ἐπέβαλε. 12 Καὶ τὸ ὕψος τῆς καταφυγῆς τοῦ τοίχου ταπεινώσει, καὶ καταβήσεται ἕως τοῦ ἐδάφους.

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).
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).
… who [was born] of the Virgin Mary, who also suffered, in whom too we trust, and whom we love; as Esaias says: "And they shall say in that day, Behold our Lord God, in whom we have trusted, and we have rejoiced in our salvation;" and Peter says in his Epistle: "Whom, not seeing, ye love; in whom, though now …
For Death prevailed and devoured; and again, God wiped away every tear from off every face.

Just as Esaias the prophet says, "Death devoured when it had prevailed." And again, "God has wiped away every tear from every face." Thus that former life is expelled, because it was not given by the Spirit, but by the breath.
But though in former times death was mighty and devoured, at the holy Laver of regeneration God has wiped away every tear from off all faces.
