1 «Εις τον πρώτον μουσικόν, διά Ιεδουθούν. Ψαλμός του Δαβίδ.» Επί τον Θεόν βεβαίως αναπαύεται η ψυχή μου· εξ αυτού πηγάζει η σωτηρία μου. 2 Αυτός βεβαίως είναι πέτρα μου και σωτηρία μου· προπύργιον μου· δεν θέλω σαλευθή πολύ. 3 Έως πότε θέλετε επιβουλεύεσθαι εναντίον ανθρώπου; σεις πάντες θέλετε φονευθή· είσθε ως τοίχος κεκλιμένος και φραγμός ετοιμόρροπος. 4 Δεν συμβουλεύονται παρά να ρίψωσι αυτόν από του ύψους αυτού· αγαπώσι το ψεύδος· διά μεν του στόματος αυτών ευλογούσι, διά δε της καρδίας αυτών καταρώνται. Διάψαλμα. 5 Αλλά συ, ω ψυχή μου, επί τον Θεόν αναπαύου, διότι εξ αυτού κρέμαται η ελπίς μου. 6 Αυτός βεβαίως είναι πέτρα μου και σωτηρία μου· προπύργιόν μου· δεν θέλω σαλευθή. 7 Εν τω Θεώ είναι η σωτηρία μου και η δόξα μου· η πέτρα της δυνάμεώς μου, το καταφύγιόν μου, είναι εν τω Θεώ. 8 Ελπίζετε επ' αυτόν εν παντί καιρώ· ανοίγετε, λαοί, ενώπιον αυτού τας καρδίας σας· ο Θεός είναι καταφύγιον εις ημάς. Διάψαλμα. 9 Οι κοινοί άνθρωποι βεβαίως είναι ματαιότης, οι άρχοντες ψεύδος· εν τη πλάστιγγι πάντες ομού είναι ελαφρότεροι αυτής της ματαιότητος. 10 Μη ελπίζετε επί αδικίαν και επί αρπαγήν μη ματαιόνεσθε· πλούτος εάν ρέη, μη προσηλόνετε την καρδίαν σας. 11 Άπαξ ελάλησεν ο Θεός, δις ήκουσα τούτο, ότι η δύναμις είναι του Θεού· 12 και σου είναι, Κύριε, το έλεος· Διότι συ θέλεις αποδώσει εις έκαστον κατά τα έργα αυτού.

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 it doth not detain us. For it is "Unto the end, in hymns, to David himself. "In hymns," to wit in praises. "Unto the end," to wit unto Christ....But the voice in this Psalm (if we are among the members of Him, and in the Body, even as upon His exhortation we have the boldness to trust) …

For [the Scripture] saith in a certain place, "This people honoureth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me." And again: "They bless with their mouth, but curse with their heart." And again it saith, "They loved Him with their mouth, and lied to Him with their tongue; but their heart was not right with Him, neither …
Also unto Thee, O God, belongeth mercy: for Thou wilt render unto every man according to his works." Now the expression, "Once hath He spoken," is to be understood as meaning "immovably," that is, unchangeably hath He spoken, inasmuch as He knows unchangeably all things which shall be, and all things which He will do.

Hast thou not heard, "If riches increase, set not your heart upon them?" Lo, thou art getting, thou art disquieted, not fruitlessly indeed, still in vain.
