1 Ο Κύριος βασιλεύει· ας αγάλλεται η γή· ας ευφραίνεται το πλήθος των νήσων. 2 Νεφέλη και ομίχλη είναι κύκλω αυτού· δικαιοσύνη και κρίσις η βάσις του θρόνου αυτού. 3 Πυρ προπορεύεται έμπροσθεν αυτού και καταφλέγει πανταχόθεν, τους εχθρούς αυτού. 4 Αι αστραπαί αυτού φωτίζουσι την οικουμένην· είδεν η γη και εσαλεύθη. 5 Τα όρη διαλύονται ως κηρός από της παρουσίας του Κυρίου, από της παρουσίας του Κυρίου πάσης της γής· 6 Αναγγέλλουσιν οι ουρανοί την δικαιοσύνην αυτού, και βλέπουσι πάντες οι λαοί την δόξαν αυτού. 7 Ας αισχυνθώσι πάντες οι λατρεύοντες τα γλυπτά, οι καυχώμενοι εις τα είδωλα· προσκυνείτε αυτόν, πάντες οι θεοί. 8 Ήκουσεν η Σιών και ευφράνθη, και εχάρησαν αι θυγατέρες του Ιούδα διά τας κρίσεις σου, Κύριε. 9 Διότι συ, Κύριε, είσαι ύψιστος εφ' όλην την γήν· σφόδρα υπερυψώθης υπέρ πάντας τους θεούς. 10 Οι αγαπώντες τον Κύριον, μισείτε το κακόν· αυτός φυλάττει τας ψυχάς των οσίων αυτού· ελευθερόνει αυτούς εκ χειρός ασεβών. 11 Φως σπείρεται διά τον δίκαιον και ευφροσύνη διά τους ευθείς την καρδίαν. 12 Ευφραίνεσθε, δίκαιοι, εν Κυρίω, και υμνείτε την μνήμην της αγιωσύνης 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).
My lord and brother Severus still defers the pleasure we shall feel in his discourse, which he oweth us; for he acknowledgeth, that he is held a debtor.

Thus doth God ever appear. "For a cloud and darkness are round about Him;" and, "He sitteth on a light cloud;" and again, "Who maketh clouds His chariot;" and, "A cloud received Him out of their sight;" and, "As the Son of Man coming in the clouds." In order then that they might believe that the voice proceeds from God, …
