1 «Εις τον πρώτον μουσικόν, επί Νεγιλώθ. Ψαλμός του Δαβίδ.» Ακροάσθητι, Κύριε, τους λόγους μου· νόησον τον στεναγμόν μου. 2 Πρόσεξον εις την φωνήν της κραυγής μου, Βασιλεύ μου και Θεέ μου· Διότι εις σε θέλω προσευχηθή. 3 Κύριε, το πρωΐ θέλεις ακούσει την φωνήν μου· το πρωΐ θέλω παρασταθή εις σε και θέλω προσδοκά. 4 Διότι δεν είσαι συ Θεός θέλων την ασέβειαν· ο πονηρευόμενος δεν θέλει κατοικεί πλησίον σου. 5 Ουδέ θέλουσι σταθή οι άφρονες έμπροσθεν των οφθαλμών σου· μισείς πάντας τους εργάτας της ανομίας. 6 Θέλεις εξολοθρεύσει τους λαλούντας το ψεύδος· ο Κύριος βδελύττεται τον άνθρωπον τον αιμοβόρον και τον δόλιον. 7 Αλλ' εγώ διά του πλήθους του ελέους σου θέλω εισέλθει εις τον οίκόν σου· θέλω προσκυνήσει προς τον ναόν της αγιότητός σου μετά φόβου σου. 8 Κύριε, οδήγησόν με εν τη δικαιοσύνη σου, ένεκα των εχθρών μου· κατεύθυνον την οδόν σου έμπροσθέν μου. 9 Διότι δεν είναι εν τω στόματι αυτών αλήθεια· η καρδία αυτών είναι πονηρία· τάφος ανεωγμένος ο λάρυγξ αυτών· διά της γλώσσης αυτών κολακεύουσι. 10 Καταδίκασον αυτούς, Θεέ· ας αποτύχωσι των διαβουλίων αυτών· έξωσον αυτούς διά το πλήθος των παραβάσεων αυτών, διότι απεστάτησαν εναντίον σου. 11 Ας ευφραίνωνται δε πάντες οι ελπίζοντες επί σέ· ας χαίρωσι διαπαντός, διότι συ περισκεπάζεις αυτούς· ας καυχώνται ομοίως επί σε οι αγαπώντες το όνομά σου. 12 Διότι συ, Κύριε, θέλεις ευλογήσει τον δίκαιον· θέλεις περισκεπάσει αυτόν με ευμένειαν, ως με ασπίδα.

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).
The title of the Psalm is, "For her who receiveth the inheritance." The Church then is signified, who receiveth for her inheritance eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ; that she may possess God Himself, in cleaving to whom she may be blessed, according to that, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the earth." What earth, but that …

For when I am wicked, to confess to Thee is naught but to be dissatisfied with myself; but when I am truly devout, it is naught but not to attribute it to myself, because Thou, O Lord, dost "bless the righteous;" but first Thou justifiest him "ungodly." My confession, therefore, O my God, in Thy sight, is made unto Thee …

For the prophet makes mention thereof, neither did he call them merely a sepulchre, "but their throat an open sepulchre." Such are many men now also, decking themselves indeed outwardly, but full of iniquity within.

… and having accused him before philosophers as judges, and having assembled an audience of Gentiles, lest if Christians gave judgment, the judges might be thought to shew favour,--Tell us what thou preachest, said Archelaus to Manes. And he, whose mouth was as an open sepulchre, began first with blasphemy against the Maker of all things, saying, The God of …

"Thou hatest, O Lord," saith he, "all them that work iniquity." And immediately after, "Thou shalt destroy all them that speak a lie." Either "iniquity" and "a lie" are upon a level; or, "Thou shalt destroy," is more than "Thou hatest." For he who is held in hatred, is not immediately punished by destruction.
