1 Αινείτε τον Κύριον. Ψάλατε εις τον Κύριον ωδήν νέαν, την αίνεσιν αυτού εν τη συνάξει των οσίων. 2 Ας ευφραίνεται ο Ισραήλ εις τον Ποιητήν αυτού· οι υιοί της Σιών ας αγάλλωνται εις τον Βασιλέα αυτών. 3 Ας αινώσι το όνομα αυτού χοροστατούντες· εν τυμπάνω και κιθάρα ας ψαλμωδώσιν εις αυτόν. 4 Διότι ο Κύριος ευδοκεί εις τον λαόν αυτού· θέλει δοξάσει τους πράους εν σωτηρία. 5 Οι όσιοι θέλουσιν αγάλλεσθαι εν δόξη· θέλουσιν αγάλλεσθαι επί τας κλίνας αυτών. 6 Αι εξυμνήσεις του Θεού θέλουσιν είσθαι εν τω λάρυγγι αυτών, και ρομφαία δίστομος εν τη χειρί αυτών· 7 διά να κάμνωσιν εκδίκησιν εις τα έθνη, παιδείαν εις τους λαούς· 8 διά να δέσωσι τους βασιλείς αυτών με αλύσεις· και τους ενδόξους αυτών με δεσμά σιδηρά· 9 διά να κάμωσιν επ' αυτούς την γεγραμμένην κρίσιν. Η δόξα αύτη θέλει είσθαι εις πάντας τους οσίους αυτού. 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).
Let us praise the Lord both in voice, and in understanding, and in good works; and, as this Psalm exhorteth, let us sing unto Him a new song. It beginneth: "Sing ye to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the Saints" (ver. 1).

For now that the one Church in Judæa is cast off, the Churches of Christ are increased over all the world; and of them it is said in the Psalms, Sing unto the Lord a new song, His praise in the Congregation of Saints.
