1 Μη εις ημάς, Κύριε, μη εις ημάς, αλλ' εις το όνομά σου δος δόξαν, διά το έλεός σου, διά την αλήθειάν σου. 2 Διά τι να είπωσι τα έθνη, και που είναι ο Θεός αυτών; 3 Αλλ' ο Θεός ημών είναι εν τω ουρανώ· πάντα όσα ηθέλησεν εποίησε. 4 Τα είδωλα αυτών είναι αργύριον και χρυσίον, έργα χειρών ανθρώπων· 5 Στόμα έχουσι και δεν λαλούσιν· οφθαλμούς έχουσι και δεν βλέπουσιν· 6 ώτα έχουσι και δεν ακούουσι· μυκτήρας έχουσι και δεν οσφραίνονται· 7 Χείρας έχουσι και δεν ψηλαφώσι· πόδας έχουσι και δεν περιπατούσιν· ουδέ ομιλούσι διά του λάρυγγος αυτών. 8 Όμοιοι αυτών ας γείνωσιν οι ποιούντες αυτά, πας ο ελπίζων επ' αυτά. 9 Ο Ισραήλ ήλπισεν επί Κύριον· αυτός είναι βοηθός και ασπίς αυτών. 10 Ο οίκος του Ααρών ήλπισεν επί Κύριον· αυτός είναι βοηθός και ασπίς αυτών. 11 Οι φοβούμενοι τον Κύριον ήλπισαν επί Κύριον· αυτός είναι βοηθός και ασπίς αυτών. 12 Ο Κύριος μας ενεθυμήθη· θέλει ευλογεί, θέλει ευλογεί τον οίκον Ισραήλ· θέλει ευλογεί τον οίκον Ααρών. 13 Θέλει ευλογεί τους φοβουμένους τον Κύριον, τους μικρούς μετά των μεγάλων. 14 Ο Κύριος θέλει αυξήσει υμάς, υμάς και τα τέκνα υμών. 15 Σεις είσθε οι ευλογημένοι του Κυρίου, του ποιήσαντος τον ουρανόν και την γην. 16 Οι ουρανοί των ουρανών είναι του Κυρίου, την δε γην έδωκεν εις τους υιούς των ανθρώπων. 17 Οι νεκροί δεν θέλουσιν αινέσει τον Κύριον, ουδέ πάντες οι καταβαίνοντες εις τον τόπον της σιωπής· 18 αλλ' ημείς θέλομεν ευλογεί τον Κύριον, από του νυν και έως του αιώνος. Αλληλούϊα.

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).
When ye hear sung in the Psalms, "Praise the Lord, ye children" (ver. 1); imagine not that that exhortation pertaineth not unto you, because having already passed the youth of the body, ye are either blooming in the prime of manhood, or growing gray with the honours of old age: for unto all of you the Apostle saith, "Brethren, be …

But that He did Himself make all things freely, and as He pleased, again David says, "But our God is in the heavens above, and in the earth; He hath made all things whatsoever He pleased."

But where is that heaven of heavens, O Lord, of which we hear in the words of the Psalm, The heaven of heavens are the Lord's, but the earth hath He given to the children of men? Where is the heaven, which we behold not, in comparison of which all this, which we behold, is earth?

… not the leper commended, who showed forth things greater than these?" For he did not so much as say, "speak the word," but what was far more, "be willing only," which is what the prophet saith concerning the Father, "He hath done whatsoever He pleased." But he also was commended.

… the Prophets believe not what is written, and allege against us that passage, The ungodly shall not rise up in judgment, and, For if man go down to the grave he shall come up no more, and, The dead shall not praise Thee, O Lord,--for of what is well written, they have made ill use--it will be well in …
