- Exodus 15:1–21
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 15:1–211 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
- Numbers 21:27–30
That is why the poets say: “Come to Heshbon, let it be rebuilt; let the city of Sihon be restored.
Commentary on Numbers 21:27–301 voice
Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say,.... The historical writers of those times, among the Amorites, who were usually poets, and wrote the history of the wars between the Moabites and Amorites in verse; as Homer among the Greeks wrote the wars of Troy; and the compositions of those ancient bards were short and compendious, and wrapped up in proverbial sayings, and enigmatical and figurative expressions, that they might be the better retained in memory, and therefore were called proverbialists.

- 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
- 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 22:1
And David sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:11 voice
The fifth song is in Second Samuel, when "David spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul." He said, "The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God will be my protector."
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE SONG OF SONGS, PROLOGUE, 253Patristic
- 1 Kings 4:32
Solomon composed three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered a thousand and five.
Commentary on 1 Kings 4:322 voices
Of his three thousand proverbs a single book is left, while all the others perished during the captivity. And of his one thousand and five songs we still possess a single one, that is the Song of Songs.
Ishodad of Merv· BOOKS OF SESSIONS 1 KINGS 4:32, 850Patristic
[Greek philosophers] took these ideas from Solomon, since it was long before them in age and time that he first gave these teachings through the Spirit of God. The Greeks have brought them forth as their own discoveries, and they have also included them in their books of instructions and left them to be handed down to their successors.
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE SONG OF SONGS PROLOGUE 3, 253Patristic
- Psalms 33:3
Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
Commentary on Psalms 33:31 voice
The loud noise is a certain inarticulate sound, when those who are fighting side by side in a war shout out in unison with each other. Sing, then, in harmony and in agreement and in union through charity.
Basil of Caesarea· HOMILIES ON THE PSALMS 15:3 (PS 33), 379Patristic
- Psalms 40:3
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.
- Matthew 26:30
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Commentary on Matthew 26:301 voice
(Vers. 30.) And having sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. This is what we read in a certain psalm: All the fat of the earth have eaten and adored (Ps. XXI, 30). According to this example, whoever is satisfied with the Savior's bread and intoxicated with the chalice can praise the Lord and ascend to the Mount of Olives, where there is refreshment from labors, consolation from sorrow, and knowledge of true light.
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
- Mark 14:26
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
- Ephesians 5:19
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord,
Commentary on Ephesians 5:191 voice
Our hymns declare the strength and majesty of God. They express gratitude for his benefits and his deeds. Our psalms convey this gratitude also, since the word Alleluia is either prefaced or appended to them. Our psalms properly belong to the domain of ethics, teaching us what is to be done and avoided. The domain of the psalms is the body as an instrument of grace. But the domain of the spiritual canticles is the mind.
Jerome· Commentary on Ephesians 5:19, 420Patristic
- Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
- Revelation 5:9
And they sang a new song: “Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
Commentary on Revelation 5:91 voice
If I remember not that it is I who have served Him, how shall I ascribe glory to God? How sing to Him "the new song," if I am ignorant that it is I who owe Him thanks? But why is exception taken only against the change of the flesh, and not of the soul also, which in all things is superior to the flesh?
Tertullian· On the Resurrection of the Flesh, 220Patristic
- Revelation 5:10
You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign upon the earth.”
Commentary on Revelation 5:101 voice
And thou shalt receive the kingdom of heaven, thou who, whilst thou didst sojourn in this life, didst know the Celestial King. And thou shalt be a companion of the Deity, and a co-heir with Christ, no longer enslaved by lusts or passions, and never again wasted by disease.
Hippolytus of Rome· Hippolytus Refutation of All Heresies Book X, 235Patristic
- Revelation 14:2
And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of many waters and the loud rumbling of thunder. And the sound I heard was like harpists strumming their harps.
Commentary on Revelation 14:21 voice
QUESTION: And the voice which I heard, was as the voice of harpers, harping on their harps. ANSWER: While God's harpers are all the saints, who crucify their flesh with the vices and concupiscences [Gal. 5:24] and praise him with psaltery and harp, [Ps. 150:3] …
