1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ لِيَسْتَجِبْ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلضِّيقِ. لِيَرْفَعْكَ ٱسْمُ إِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ. 2 لِيُرْسِلْ لَكَ عَوْنًا مِنْ قُدْسِهِ، وَمِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ لِيَعْضُدْكَ. 3 لِيَذْكُرْ كُلَّ تَقْدِمَاتِكَ، وَيَسْتَسْمِنْ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ. سِلَاهْ. 4 لِيُعْطِكَ حَسَبَ قَلْبِكَ، وَيُتَمِّمْ كُلَّ رَأْيِكَ. 5 نَتَرَنَّمُ بِخَلَاصِكَ، وَبِٱسْمِ إِلَهِنَا نَرْفَعُ رَايَتَنَا. لِيُكَمِّلِ ٱلرَّبُّ كُلَّ سُؤْلِكَ. 6 اَلْآنَ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مُخَلِّصُ مَسِيحِهِ، يَسْتَجِيبُهُ مِنْ سَمَاءِ قُدْسِهِ، بِجَبَرُوتِ خَلَاصِ يَمِينِهِ. 7 هَؤُلَاءِ بِٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَهَؤُلَاءِ بِٱلْخَيْلِ، أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا نَذْكُرُ. 8 هُمْ جَثَوْا وَسَقَطُوا، أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَقُمْنَا وَٱنْتَصَبْنَا. 9 يَا رَبُّ خَلِّصْ! لِيَسْتَجِبْ لَنَا ٱلْمَلِكُ فِي يَوْمِ دُعَائِنَا!

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).
It is a well-known title; nor does the Lord Jesus Christ say what follows, but it is said of Him. 2. "The heavens tell out the glory of God" (ver. 1).
