1 «Εις τον πρώτον μουσικόν, επί Σεμινίθ. Ψαλμός του Δαβίδ.» Σώσον, Κύριε· διότι εξέλιπεν όσιος, διότι εχάθησαν οι φιλαλήθεις μεταξύ των υιών των ανθρώπων. 2 Έκαστος λαλεί ματαιότητα προς τον πλησίον αυτού· με χείλη δόλια λαλούσιν από διπλής καρδίας. 3 Ας εξολοθρεύση ο Κύριος πάντα τα χείλη τα δόλια, την γλώσσαν την μεγαλορρήμονα. 4 Διότι είπον, Θέλομεν υπερισχύσει διά της γλώσσης ημών· τα χείλη ημών είναι ημέτερα· τις θέλει είσθαι κύριος εφ' ημάς; 5 Διά την ταλαιπωρίαν των πτωχών, διά τον στεναγμόν των πενήτων, τώρα θέλω εγερθή, λέγει ο Κύριος· θέλω θέσει εν ασφαλεία εκείνον, κατά του οποίου φυσά ο ασεβής. 6 Τα λόγια του Κυρίου είναι λόγια καθαρά· αργύριον δεδοκιμασμένον εν πηλίνω χωνευτηρίω, κεκαθαρισμένον επταπλασίως. 7 Συ, Κύριε, θέλεις φυλάξει αυτούς· θέλεις διατηρήσει αυτούς από της γενεάς ταύτης εις τον αιώνα. 8 Οι ασεβείς περιπατούσι κύκλω, όταν οι αχρείοι υψωθώσι μεταξύ των υιών των ανθρώπων.

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).
