1 «Ωιδή Ψαλμού του Δαβίδ.» Ετοίμη είναι η καρδία μου, Θεέ· θέλω ψάλλει και θέλω ψαλμωδεί εν τη δόξη μου. 2 Εξεγέρθητι, ψαλτήριον, και κιθάρα· θέλω εξεγερθή το πρωΐ. 3 Θέλω σε επαινέσει, Κύριε, μεταξύ λαών, και θέλω ψαλμωδεί εις σε μεταξύ εθνών· 4 διότι εμεγαλύνθη έως των ουρανών το έλεός σου και έως των νεφελών η αλήθειά σου. 5 Υψώθητι, Θεέ, επί τους ουρανούς· και η δόξα σου ας ήναι εφ' όλην την γήν· 6 διά να ελευθερόνωνται οι αγαπητοί σου· σώσον διά της δεξιάς σου και επάκουσόν μου. 7 Ο Θεός ελάλησεν εν τω αγιαστηρίω αυτού· θέλω χαίρει, θέλω μοιράσει την Συχέμ και την κοιλάδα Σοκχώθ θέλω διαμετρήσει· 8 Εμού είναι ο Γαλαάδ, εμού ο Μανασσής· ο μεν Εφραΐμ είναι η δύναμις της κεφαλής μου· ο δε Ιούδας ο νομοθέτης μου· 9 Ο Μωάβ είναι η λεκάνη του πλυσίματός μου· επί τον Εδώμ θέλω ρίψει το υπόδημά μου· θέλω αλαλάξει επί την Παλαιστίνην. 10 Τις θέλει με φέρει εις την περιτετειχισμένην πόλιν; τις θέλει με οδηγήσει έως Εδώμ; 11 ουχί συ, Θεέ, ο απορρίψας ημάς; και δεν θέλεις εξέλθει, Θεέ, μετά των στρατευμάτων ημών; 12 Βοήθησον ημάς από της θλίψεως, διότι ματαία είναι η παρά των ανθρώπων σωτηρία. 13 Διά του Θεού θέλομεν κάμει ανδραγαθίας· και αυτός θέλει καταπατήσει τους εχθρούς ημών.

Notes on this text (3)
- Greek and Latin Bibles number most Psalms one lower than Hebrew and English Bibles.
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).

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).

To this it is that the prediction pointed, "Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and Thy glory above all the earth." Such is the fullness of the Gentiles, of which the apostle saith, "Blindness in part is happened to Israel, till the fullness of the Gentiles come in."

His true glory, therefore, in the Catholic Church is celebrated in these words by the prophet: "Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and Thy glory above all the earth."
