- Exodus 15:1–19
Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: “I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted. The horse and rider He has thrown into the sea.
Commentary on Exodus 15:1–191 voice
Our motive in going over all this, dearly beloved brethren, is that we may be on our guard, for fear that, after coming out from Egypt and hastening through the desert for forty days—for forty years, as it were—to reach the land of promise, we should long for the fleshpots of Egypt and be bitten to death by the serpents. We have left Egypt; what have we to do with the food of Egypt? We who have bread from heaven; why do we go in search of earthly foods?
Jerome· HOMILY 90, 420Patristic
- Exodus 15:21
And Miriam sang back to them: “Sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; the horse and rider He has thrown into the sea.”
Commentary on Exodus 15:211 voice

- Deuteronomy 32:1
Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
Commentary on Deuteronomy 32:11 voice
By heavens he means the order of the clergy and by earth the people subject to them. For "Listen, O heavens, and I shall speak" was addressed not to insensible but to rational creation.
Paterius· EXPOSITION OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT, DEUTERONOMY 19, 606Patristic
- Judges 5:1
On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:
Commentary on Judges 5:11 voice
(Judges 5:1) And Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang. Barak is said to have been a man of Deborah the prophetess. Barak himself is also called Barak son of Lapidoth. For Lapidoth means lightning, and Barak, thunder. Lightning, therefore, because before he avenged Israel against the Canaanites, there was a lightning shining among the people, by merit and prerogative of his deeds: but after he avenged Israel against the Canaanites, he was called Thunder, that is, striking.
Jerome· Commentary on the Song of Deborah, 420Patristic
- 1 Samuel 2:1–10
At that time Hannah prayed: “My heart rejoices in the LORD in whom my horn is exalted. My mouth speaks boldly against my enemies, for I rejoice in Your salvation.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 2:1–101 voice
We have already shown that the type of holy Church lies hidden in the person of Anna. She, indeed, once the child was born, declares that she exults in the Lord, because she did not swell with vain pride over having drawn the Gentile people to faith in the Redeemer, but kept the intention of her joy fixed on Him from whom she received the gifts of her fruitfulness. By these words she indicates the foundation of her joy in such a way that she also shows the cause of that same exultation.
Gregory the Dialogist· Commentary on 1 Kings, Book 1, Chapter 3, 604Patristic
- 2 Samuel 1:19–27
“Your glory, O Israel, lies slain on your heights. How the mighty have fallen!
Commentary on 2 Samuel 1:19–271 voice
The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places,.... The high mountains of Gilboa, where Saul their king, and Jonathan his son, a prince of the blood, and natural heir to the crown, and multitudes of young men, the flower of the nation, were wounded and slain. Here begins the lamentation, or the elegiac song: how are the mighty fallen! mighty men of war, strong and valiant, as Saul and his sons were, and the soldiers in his army.

- 2 Samuel 3:33
And the king sang this lament for Abner: “Should Abner die the death of a fool?
Commentary on 2 Samuel 3:331 voice
And the king lamented over Abner,....

- 2 Samuel 3:34
Your hands were not bound, your feet were not fettered. As a man falls before the wicked, so also you fell.” And all the people wept over him even more.
Commentary on 2 Samuel 3:341 voice
Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters,.... As malefactors are when they are taken up for any crime, and especially when proved upon them, and condemned for it, and brought forth to be executed.

- Psalms 25:1
To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
Commentary on Psalms 25:11 voice
Above, the Psalmist presented Christ's tribulation and divine help; here he adds a prayer. Concerning this he does two things. First, the prayer is presented. Second, the merits of the one praying, "Judge me, O Lord," etc. Concerning the first he does three things. First, …
Thomas Aquinas· Exposition on the Psalms of David, 1274Patristic
- Psalms 34:1
I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.
- Psalms 37:1
Do not fret over those who do evil; do not envy those who do wrong.
Commentary on Psalms 37:11 voice
Not infrequently good people, seeing others arrive at riches and honors by fraud and trickery, become green with jealousy and want to imitate them. They, too, are tempted to attain riches and fame by similar tricks and malpractices.… Do not be an imitator of wrongdoing and fraud. Rather, be an imitator of apostolic doctrine, of prophetic grace and of the virtue of the saints. Then you will bear fruit and reap the harvest of your good deeds.
Ambrose of Milan· COMMENTARY ON TWELVE PSALMS 37:11, 397Patristic
- Psalms 111:1
Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly.
- Psalms 112:1
Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.
Commentary on Psalms 112:11 voice
I have heard about the death of the blessed Theodorus, and the news caused me great anxiety, knowing as I did his value to you. Now if it had not been Theodorus, I would have spoken to you at greater length, with tears, considering what follows after death. But since it is Theodorus whom you and I have known, what need I say in my letter except "Blessed is" Theodorus, "who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly"?
Athanasius of Alexandria· SECOND LETTER TO ORSISIUS 58, 373Patristic
- Psalms 119:1
Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the Law of the LORD.
- Psalms 145:1
I will exalt You, my God and King; I will bless Your name forever and ever.
- Proverbs 31:10–31
A wife of noble character, who can find? She is far more precious than rubies.
Commentary on Proverbs 31:10–311 voice
I have heard sacred Scripture saying, "Who shall find a valiant woman?" and also that she is a gift of God, and that a good marriage is arranged by the Lord. Those outside, too, have the same thought—if indeed the saying is theirs: "There is no greater boon for a man than a good wife, no worse, than the opposite." It is impossible to mention anyone who was more fortunate than my father in this respect.
Gregory of Nazianzus· ON THE DEATH OF HIS FATHER, ORATION 18:7, 390Patristic
