5 Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.

12 Νεανίσκοι καὶ παρθένοι, πρεσβύται μετὰ νεωτέρων
12 both young men and maidens, old men and children.

13 Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 καὶ ὑψώσει κέρας λαοῦ αὐτοῦ· ὕμονς πᾶσι τοῖς ὁσίοις αὐτοῦ, τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ, λαῷ ἐγγίζοντι αὐτῷ.

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).

I did not now desire better things, because I was thinking of all; and with a …

  5. Quotes verse 148:2 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapter XVI)

    How could the Seraphim cry "Holy, Holy, Holy," were they not taught by the Spirit how often true religion requires them to lift their voice in this ascription of glory? Do "all His angels" and "all His hosts" praise God?
