1 «Εις τον πρώτον μουσικόν. Ψαλμός ωδής του Δαβίδ.» Σε προσμένει ύμνος, Θεέ, εν Σιών· και εις σε θέλει αποδοθή η ευχή. 2 Ω ακούων προσευχήν, εις σε θέλει έρχεσθαι πάσα σαρξ. 3 Λόγοι ανομίας υπερίσχυσαν κατ' εμού· συ θέλεις καθαρίσει τας παραβάσεις ημών. 4 Μακάριος εκείνος, τον οποίον εξέλεξας και προσέλαβες, διά να κατοική εν ταις αυλαίς σου· θέλομεν χορτασθή από των αγαθών του οίκου σου, του αγίου ναού σου. 5 Διά τρομερών πραγμάτων μετά δικαιοσύνης θέλεις αποκρίνεσθαι προς ημάς, Θεέ της σωτηρίας ημών, η ελπίς πάντων των περάτων της γης, και των μακράν εν θαλάσση· 6 ο στερεόνων διά της δυνάμεώς σου τα όρη, ο περιεζωσμένος ισχύν· 7 ο κατασιγάζων τον ήχον της θαλάσσης, τον ήχον των κυμάτων αυτής και τον θόρυβον των λαών. 8 και αυτοί οι κατοικούντες τα πέρατα φοβούνται τα σημεία σου· χαροποιείς τας αρχάς της αυγής και της εσπέρας. 9 Επισκέπτεσαι την γην και ποτίζεις αυτήν· υπερπλουτίζεις αυτήν· ο ποταμός του Θεού είναι πλήρης υδάτων· ετοιμάζεις τον σίτον αυτών, επειδή ούτω διέταξας. 10 Τα αυλάκια αυτής ποτίζεις· εξομαλίζεις τους βώλους αυτής· απαλύνεις αυτήν διά σταλακτής βροχής· ευλογείς τα βλαστήματα αυτής. 11 Στεφανόνεις το έτος με τα αγαθά σου· και τα ίχνη σου σταλάζουσι πάχος. 12 Σταλάζουσιν αι βοσκαί της ερήμου και οι λόφοι περιζώνονται χαράν. 13 Αι πεδιάδες είναι ενδεδυμέναι ποίμνια και αι κοιλάδες εσκεπασμέναι υπό σίτου· αλαλάζουσι και έτι υμνολογούσι.

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).
Though chiefly the Lord's Passion is noticed in this Psalm, neither could the Martyrs have been strong, unless they had beheld Him, that first suffered; nor such things would they have endured in suffering, as He did, unless they had hoped for such things in the Resurrection as He had showed of Himself: but your Holiness knoweth that our Head …

… times; because "old things have passed away," and "behold all things are become new;" and "because our salvation is nearer than when we believed;" and because "the night is far spent, the day is at hand;" and because Thou wilt crown Thy year with blessing, sending the labourers of Thy goodness into Thy harvest, in the sowing of which others …
