1 «Εις τον πρώτον μουσικόν, διά Ιεδουθούν. Ψαλμός του Ασάφ.» Η φωνή μου είναι προς τον Θεόν, και εβόησα· η φωνή μου είναι προς τον Θεόν, και έδωκεν εις εμέ ακρόασιν. 2 Εν ημέρα θλίψεώς μου εξεζήτησα τον Κύριον· εξέτεινον την νύκτα τας χείρας μου και δεν έπαυον· η ψυχή μου δεν ήθελε να παρηγορηθή. 3 Ενεθυμήθην τον Θεόν και εταράχθην· διελογίσθην, και ωλιγοψύχησε το πνεύμά μου. Διάψαλμα. 4 Εκράτησας τους οφθαλμούς μου εν αγρυπνία· εταράχθην και δεν ηδυνάμην να λαλήσω. 5 Διελογίσθην τας αρχαίας ημέρας, τα έτη των αιώνων. 6 Ανακαλώ εις μνήμην την ωδήν μου· την νύκτα διαλογίζομαι μετά της καρδίας μου, και το πνεύμά μου διερευνά· 7 μήποτε ο Κύριος με αποβάλη αιωνίως, και δεν θέλει είσθαι ευμενής πλέον; 8 ή εξέλιπε διαπαντός το έλεος αυτού; έπαυσεν ο λόγος αυτού εις γενεάν και γενεάν; 9 Μήποτε ελησμόνησε να ελεή ο Θεός; μήποτε εν τη οργή αυτού θέλει κλείσει τους οικτιρμούς αυτού; Διάψαλμα. 10 Τότε είπα, Αδυναμία μου είναι τούτο· αλλοιούται η δεξιά του Υψίστου; 11 Θέλω μνημονεύει τα έργα του Κυρίου· ναι, θέλω μνημονεύει τα απ' αρχής θαυμάσιά σου· 12 και θέλω μελετά εις πάντα τα έργα σου, και περί των πράξεών σου θέλω διαλογίζεσθαι. 13 Θεέ, εν τω αγιαστηρίω είναι η οδός σου· τις Θεός μέγας, ως ο Θεός; 14 Συ είσαι ο Θεός ο ποιών θαυμάσια· εφανέρωσας μεταξύ των λαών την δύναμίν σου. 15 Ελύτρωσας διά του βραχίονός σου τον λαόν σου, τους υιούς Ιακώβ και Ιωσήφ. Διάψαλμα. 16 Τα ύδατα σε είδον, Θεέ, τα ύδατα σε είδον και εφοβήθησαν· εταράχθησαν και αι άβυσσοι. 17 Πλημμύραν υδάτων έχυσαν αι νεφέλαι· φωνήν έδωκαν οι ουρανοί· και τα βέλη σου διεπέταξαν. 18 Η φωνή της βροντής σου ήτο εν τω ουρανίω τροχώ· εφώτισαν αι αστραπαί την οικουμένην· εσαλεύθη και έντρομος έγεινεν η γη. 19 Διά της θαλάσσης είναι η οδός σου και αι τρίβοι σου εν ύδασι πολλοίς, και τα ίχνη σου δεν γνωρίζονται. 20 Ωδήγησας ως πρόβατα τον λαόν σου διά χειρός Μωϋσέως και Ααρών.

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 Jews are wont to glory in this Psalm which we have sung, saying, "Known in Judæa is God, in Israel great is the name of Him:" and to revile the Gentiles to whom God is not known, and to say that to themselves alone God is known; seeing that the Prophet saith, "Known in Judæa is God." In other …

The verse runs: "Shall God forget to be gracious? Shall He in anger shut up His tender mercies?" His anger, they say, would condemn all that are unworthy of everlasting happiness to endless punishment.

… sent me," and "the Spirit came down from the Lord and guided them." And pray do not again understand by this guidance some humble service, for the Word witnesses that it was the work of God;--"Thou leddest thy people," it is said "like a flock," and "Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock," and "He led them on safely, so …
