1 Alleluja. [Cantate Domino canticum novum; laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum. 2 Lætetur Israël in eo qui fecit eum, et filii Sion exsultent in rege suo. 3 Laudent nomen ejus in choro; in tympano et psalterio psallant ei. 4 Quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo, et exaltabit mansuetos in salutem. 5 Exsultabunt sancti in gloria; lætabuntur in cubilibus suis. 6 Exaltationes Dei in gutture eorum, et gladii ancipites in manibus eorum: 7 ad faciendam vindictam in nationibus, increpationes in populis; 8 ad alligandos reges eorum in compedibus, et nobiles eorum in manicis ferreis; 9 ut faciant in eis judicium conscriptum: gloria hæc est omnibus sanctis ejus. Alleluja.]

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).
Let us praise the Lord both in voice, and in understanding, and in good works; and, as this Psalm exhorteth, let us sing unto Him a new song. It beginneth: "Sing ye to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the Saints" (ver. 1).

For now that the one Church in Judæa is cast off, the Churches of Christ are increased over all the world; and of them it is said in the Psalms, Sing unto the Lord a new song, His praise in the Congregation of Saints.
