1 «Εις τον πρώτον μουσικόν. Ωιδή ψαλμού.» Αλαλάξατε εις τον Θεόν, πάσα η γη. 2 Ψάλατε την δόξαν του ονόματος αυτού· κάμετε ένδοξον τον ύμνον αυτού. 3 Είπατε προς τον Θεόν, Πόσον είναι φοβερά τα έργα σου διά το μέγεθος της δυνάμεώς σου, υποκρίνονται υποταγήν εις σε οι εχθροί σου. 4 Πάσα η γη θέλει σε προσκυνεί και ψαλμωδεί εις σέ· θέλουσι ψαλμωδεί το όνομά σου. Διάψαλμα. 5 Έλθετε και ιδέτε τα έργα του Θεού· είναι φοβερός εις τας πράξεις προς τους υιούς των ανθρώπων. 6 Μετέβαλε την θάλασσαν εις ξηράν· πεζοί διέβησαν διά του ποταμού· εκεί ευφράνθημεν εις αυτόν. 7 Διά της δυνάμεως αυτού δεσπόζει εις τον αιώνα· οι οφθαλμοί αυτού επιβλέπουσιν επί τα έθνη· οι αποστάται ας μη υψόνωσιν εαυτούς. Διάψαλμα. 8 Ευλογείτε, λαοί, τον Θεόν ημών, και κάμετε να ακουσθή η φωνή της αινέσεως αυτού· 9 όστις διαφυλάττει εν ζωή την ψυχήν ημών και δεν αφίνει να κλονίζωνται οι πόδες ημών. 10 Διότι συ ηρεύνησας ημάς, Θεέ· εδοκίμασας ημάς, ως δοκιμάζεται το αργύριον. 11 Ενέβαλες ημάς εις το δίκτυον· έθεσας βαρύ φορτίον επί τα νώτα ημών. 12 Επεβίβασας ανθρώπους επί τας κεφαλάς ημών· διήλθομεν διά πυρός και ύδατος· και εξήγαγες ημάς εις αναψυχήν. 13 Θέλω εισέλθει εις τον οίκόν σου με ολοκαυτώματα· θέλω σοι αποδώσει τας ευχάς μου, 14 τας οποίας επρόφεραν τα χείλη μου, και ελάλησε το στόμα μου, εν τη θλίψει μου. 15 Παχέα ολοκαυτώματα κριών θέλω σοι προσφέρει μετά θυμιάματος· θέλω προσφέρει βόας μετά τράγων. Διάψαλμα. 16 Έλθετε, ακούσατε, πάντες οι φοβούμενοι τον Θεόν· και θέλω διηγηθή όσα έκαμεν εις την ψυχήν μου. 17 Προς αυτόν εβόησα διά του στόματός μου, και υψώθη διά της γλώσσης μου. 18 Εάν εθεώρουν αδικίαν εν τη καρδία μου, ο Κύριος δεν ήθελεν ακούσει· 19 αλλ' ο Θεός βεβαίως εισήκουσεν· επρόσεξεν εις την φωνήν της προσευχής μου. 20 Ευλογητός ο Θεός, όστις δεν απεμάκρυνε την προσευχήν μου και το έλεος αυτού απ' εμού.

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 voice of holy prophecy must be confessed in the very title of this Psalm. It is inscribed, "Unto the end, a Psalm of David, a song of Jeremiah and Ezekiel, on account of the people of transmigration when they were beginning to go forth." How it fared with our fathers in the time of the transmigration to Babylon, is …
