1 Ψάλατε εις τον Κύριον άσμα νέον· ψάλατε εις τον Κύριον, πάσα η γη. 2 Ψάλατε εις τον Κύριον· ευλογείτε το όνομα αυτού· κηρύττετε από ημέρας εις ημέραν την σωτηρίαν αυτού. 3 Αναγγείλατε εν τοις έθνεσι την δόξαν αυτού, εν πάσι τοις λαοίς τα θαυμάσια αυτού. 4 Διότι μέγας ο Κύριος και αξιΰμνητος σφόδρα· είναι φοβερός υπέρ πάντας τους θεούς. 5 Διότι πάντες οι θεοί των εθνών είναι είδωλα· ο δε Κύριος τους ουρανούς εποίησε. 6 Δόξα και μεγαλοπρέπεια είναι ενώπιον αυτού· ισχύς και ώραιότης εν τω αγιαστηρίω αυτού. 7 Απόδοτε εις τον Κύριον, πατριαί των λαών, απόδοτε εις τον Κύριον δόξαν και ισχύν. 8 Απόδοτε εις τον Κύριον την δόξαν του ονόματος αυτού· λάβετε προσφοράς και εισέλθετε εις τας αυλάς αυτού. 9 Προσκυνήσατε τον Κύριον εν τω μεγαλοπρεπεί αγιαστηρίω αυτού· φοβείσθε από προσώπου αυτού, πάσα η γη. 10 Είπατε εν τοις έθνεσιν, Ο Κύριος βασιλεύει· η οικουμένη θέλει βεβαίως είσθαι εστερεωμένη· δεν θέλει σαλευθή· αυτός θέλει κρίνει τους λαούς εν ευθύτητι. 11 Ας ευφραίνωνται οι ουρανοί, και ας αγάλλεται η γή· ας ηχή η θάλασσα και το πλήρωμα αυτής. 12 Ας χαίρωσιν αι πεδιάδες και πάντα τα εν αυταίς· τότε θέλουσιν αγάλλεσθαι πάντα τα δένδρα του δάσους 13 ενώπιον του Κυρίου· διότι έρχεται, διότι έρχεται διά να κρίνη την γήν· θέλει κρίνει την οικουμένην εν δικαιοσύνη και τους λαούς εν τη αληθεία 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).
As with David: "The gods of the heathen are idols of demons;" and, "Ye shall not follow other gods." For in that he says "the gods of the heathen"--but the heathen are ignorant of the true God--and calls them "other gods," he bars their claim [to be looked upon] as gods at all.
Not surely that Thou mightest know them through me, but that I may awaken my own love and that of my readers towards Thee, that we may all say, "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised." I have already said, and shall say, for the love of Thy love do I this.

1. Rejoice, ye heavens, and let the earth be glad, for those who are to be sprinkled with hyssop, and cleansed with the spiritual hyssop, the power of Him to whom at His Passion drink was offered on hyssop and a reed.

So that when the divine Scripture saith, Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad, it is the angels in heaven and the men on earth that are invited to rejoice.

… the treasure new and old, the two covenants; the old, that giving of the law which took place formerly; and He points out as the new, that manner of life required by the Gospel, of which David says, "Sing unto the Lord a new song;" and Esaias, "Sing unto the Lord a new hymn.
