A psalm

is a city of refuge

from the demons; a means

of inducing help from the angels,

a weapon in fears by night, a rest from

the toils of the day, a safeguard for infants,

an adornment for those at the height of their vigor,

a consolation for the elders, a most fitting ornament for women.

It peoples the solitudes; it rids the market places of excesses; it is the

elementary exposition of beginners, the improvement of those advancing,

the solid support of the perfect, the voice of the Church. It brightens

feast day; it creates a sorrow which is in accordance with God.

For, a psalm calls forth a tear even from a heart of stone.

A psalm is the work of angels, a heavenly

institution, the spiritual incense.

April 16 - Sts. Agape, Irene, and Chionia 785

The Apostle admonishes women to be silent in church,

yet they do well to join in a psalm; this is gratifying for all

ages and fitting for both sexes. Old men ignore the stiffness of age

to sing [a psalm], and melancholy veterans echo it in the joy of their hearts;

young men sing one without the bane of lust, as do adolescents without threat from

their insecure age or the temptation of sensual pleasure; even young women sing psalms

with no loss of wifely decency, and girls sing a hymn to God with sweet and supple

voice while maintaining decorum and suffering no lapse of modesty. Youth

is eager to understand [a psalm], and the child who refuses to learnother things takes pleasure in contemplating it; it is a kind

of play, productive of more learning that that

which is dispensed with stern discipline.

A psalm consoles the sad, restrains the joyful, tempers the angry, refreshes the poor

and chides the rich man to know himself. To absolutely all who take it,

the psalm offers an appropriate medicine; nor does it despise

the sinner, but presses upon him the wholesome

remedy of penitential tears.

April 28 - The Nine Martyrs of Cyzicus 813

One who jubilates does not speak words, but it is rather a sort of sound of joy without

words, since it is the voice of a soul poured out in joy and expressing, as best it can, the

feeling, though not grasping the sense. A man delighting in his joy, from some words

which cannot be spoken or understood, bursts forth in a certain voice of exultation

without words, so that it seems he does indeed rejoice with his own voice, but as if,

because filled with too much joy, he cannot explain in words what it is in which he

delights. You observe this even in those who sing improperly. Now our jubilation will

not be such as theirs, for we ought to jubilate in justification, while they jubilate in

iniquity; we, then, in confession, they in confusion. Yet that you might understand

what I say, call to mind what you well know, that it is especially those who perform

some task in the fields who jubilate. Mowers and vintagers and those who gather otherproducts, happy in the abundance of harvest and gladdened by the very richness and

fecundity of the earth, sing in joy. And between the songs which they express in words,

they insert certain sounds without words in the elevation of an exultant spirit, and this

is called jubilation.
