1 Unto the end, for the hidden things of the Son. A psalm for David.
·
2 I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will relate all thy wonders.
1 For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm by David. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
3 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
4 When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened and perish before thy face.
3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
5 For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
4 For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
6 Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
5 You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
7 The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise.
6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
8 But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:
7 But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
9 And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
8 He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
10 And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.
9 Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
11 And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.
10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.
12 Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:
11 Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.
13 For requiring their blood he hath remembered the: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.
12 For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.
14 Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
13 Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,
15 Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
14 that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
16 I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they have prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.
15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
17 The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.
16 Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.
18 The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God.
17 The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.
19 For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
20 Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
19 Arise, Yahweh! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
21 Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
20 Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.
22 Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?
10:1 Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
23 Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.
10:2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
24 For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.
10:3 For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns Yahweh.
25 The sinner hath provoked the Lord according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him:
10:4 The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.
26 God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times. Thy judgments are removed from his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.
10:5 His ways are prosperous at all times. He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
27 For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
10:6 He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”
28 His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: under his tongue are labour and sorrow.
10:7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
29 He sitteth in ambush with the rich in private places, that he may kill the innocent.
10:8 He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
30 His eyes are upon the poor man: He lieth in wait in secret like a lion in his den. He lieth in ambush that he may catch the poor man: to catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.
10:9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless when he draws him in his net.
31 In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.
10:10 The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
32 For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face not to see to the end.
10:11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”
33 Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.
10:12 Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.
34 Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.
10:13 Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account”?
35 Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands. To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.
10:14 But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
36 Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.
10:15 Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
37 The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.
10:16 Yahweh is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.
38 The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.
10:17 Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
39 To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.
10:18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.

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). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 9, 10.

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).

    The inscription of this Psalm is, "To the end for the hidden things of the Son, a Psalm of David himself." As to the hidden things of the Son there may be a question: but since he has not added whose, the very only-begotten Son of God should be understood.
