1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος, τῷ Δαυὶδ ψαλμὸς ᾠδῆς.
·
2 Αναστήτω ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ διασκορπισθήτωσαν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ φυγέτωσαν οἱ μισοῦντες αὐτὸν ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ.
68:1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song. Let God arise! Let his enemies be scattered! Let them who hate him also flee before him.
3 Ὡς ἐκλείπει καπνὸς, ἐκλιπέτωσαν· ὡς τήκεται κηρὸς ἀπὸ προσώπου πυρὸς, οὕτως ἀπόλοιντο οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ.
68:2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
4 Καὶ οἱ δίκαιοι εὐφρανθήτωσαν· ἀγαλλιάσθωσαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ, τερφθήτωσαν ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ.
68:3 But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
5 Ἄσατε τῷ Θεῷ, ψάλατε τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ, ὁδοποιήσατε τῷ ἐπιβεβηκότι ἐπὶ δυσμῶν, Κύριος ὄνομα αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.
68:4 Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Extol him who rides on the clouds: to Yah, his name! Rejoice before him!
6 ταραχθήσονται ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, τοῦ πατρὸς τῶν ὀρφανῶν, καὶ κριτοῦ τῶν χηρῶν, ὁ Θεὸς ἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ.
68:5 A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
7 Ὁ Θεὸς κατοικίζει μονοτρόπους ἐν οἴκῳ, ἐξάγων πεπεδημένους ἐν ἀνδρείᾳ· ὁμοίως τοὺς παραπικραίνοντας, τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν τάφοις.
68:6 God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
8 Ὁ Θεὸς, ἐν τῷ ἐκπορεύεσθαί σε ἐνώπιον τοῦ λαοῦ σου, ἐν τῷ διαβαίνειν σε τὴν ἔρημον· διάψαλμα·
68:7 God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness... Selah.
9 Γῆ ἐσείσθη, καὶ γὰρ οἱ οὐρανοὶ ἔσταξαν ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ Σινὰ, ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
68:8 The earth trembled. The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai— at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
10 Βροχὴν ἑκούσιον ἀφοριεῖς ὁ Θεὸς τῇ κληρονομίᾳ σου· καὶ ἠσθένησε, σὺ δὲ κατηρτίσω αὐτήν.
68:9 You, God, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed your inheritance when it was weary.
11 Τὰ ζῶά σου κατοικοῦσιν ἐν αὐτῇ, ἡτοίμασας ἐν τῇ χρηστότητί σου τῷ πτωχῷ.
68:10 Your congregation lived therein. You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.
12 Ὁ Θεὸς Κύριος δώσει ῥῆμα τοῖς εὐαγγελιζομένοις δυνάμει πολλῇ,
68:11 The Lord announced the word. The ones who proclaim it are a great company.
13 ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν δυνάμεων τοῦ ἀγαπητοῦ, τοῦ ἀγαπητοῦ, καὶ ὡραιότητι τοῦ οἴκου διελέσθαι σκῦλα.
68:12 “Kings of armies flee! They flee!” She who waits at home divides the plunder,
14 Ἐὰν κοιμηθῆτε ἀναμέσον τῶν κλήρων, πτέρυγες περιστερᾶς περιηργυρωμέναι, καὶ τὰ μετάφρενα αὐτῆς ἐν χλωρότητι χρυσίου.
68:13 while you sleep among the camp fires, the wings of a dove sheathed with silver, her feathers with shining gold.
15 Ἐν τῷ διαστέλλειν τὴν ἐπουράνιον βασιλεῖς ἐπʼ αὐτῆς, χιονωθήσονται ἐν Σελμών.
68:14 When the Almighty scattered kings in her, it snowed on Zalmon.
16 Ὄρος τοῦ Θεοῦ ὄρος πῖον, ὄρος τετυρωμένον, ὄρος πῖον.
68:15 The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains. The mountains of Bashan are rugged.
17 Ἱνατί ὑπολαμβάνετε ὄρη τετυρωμένα; τὸ ὄρος ὃ εὐδόκησεν ὁ Θεὸς κατοικεῖν ἐν αὐτῷ· καὶ γὰρ ὁ Κύριος κατασκηνώσει εἰς τέλος.
68:16 Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign? Yes, Yahweh will dwell there forever.
18 Τὸ ἅρμα τοῦ Θεοῦ μυριοπλάσιον, χιλιάδες εὐθηνούντων· Κύριος ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν Σινὰ ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ.
68:17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands. The Lord is among them, from Sinai, into the sanctuary.
19 Ἀναβὰς εἰς ὕψος, ᾐχμαλώτευσας αἰχμαλωσίαν· ἔλαβες δόματα ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ, καὶ γὰρ ἀπειθοῦντες τοῦ κατασκηνῶσαι.
68:18 You have ascended on high. You have led away captives. You have received gifts among people, yes, among the rebellious also, that Yah God might dwell there.
20 Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς εὐλογητὸς, εὐλογητὸς Κύριος ἡμέραν καθʼ ἡμέραν, καὶ κατευοδώσει ἡμῖν ὁ Θεὸς τῶν σωτηρίων ἡμῶν· διάψαλμα.
68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens, even the God who is our salvation. Selah.
21 Ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ σώζειν, καὶ τοῦ Κυρίου αἱ διέξοδοι τοῦ θανάτου.
68:20 God is to us a God of deliverance. To Yahweh, the Lord, belongs escape from death.
22 Πλὴν ὁ Θεὸς συνθλάσει κεφαλὰς ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ, κορυφὴν τριχὸς διαπορευομένων ἐν πλημμελείαις αὐτῶν.
68:21 But God will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.
23 Εἶπε Κύριος, ἐκ Βασὰν ἐπιστρέψω, ἐπιστρέψω ἐν βυθοῖς θαλάσσης.
68:22 The Lord said, “I will bring you again from Bashan, I will bring you again from the depths of the sea,
24 Ὅπως ἂν βαφῇ ὁ ποῦς σου ἐν αἵματι, ἡ γλῶσσα τῶν κυνῶν σου ἐξ ἐχθρῶν παρʼ αὐτοῦ.
68:23 that you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”
25 Ἐθεωρήθησαν αἱ πορεῖαί σου ὁ Θεὸς, αἱ πορεῖαι τοῦ Θεοῦ μου τοῦ βασιλέως τοῦ ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ.
68:24 They have seen your processions, God, even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
26 Προέφθασαν ἄρχοντες ἐχόμενοι ψαλλόντων, ἐν μέσῳ νεανίδων τυμπανιστριῶν.
68:25 The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, among the ladies playing with tambourines,
27 Ἐν ἐκκλησίαις εὐλογεῖτε τὸν Θεὸν, τὸν Κύριον ἐκ πηγῶν Ἰσραήλ.
68:26 “Bless God in the congregations, even the Lord in the assembly of Israel!”
28 Ἐκεῖ Βενιαμὶν νεώτερος ἐν ἐκστάσει, ἄρχοντες Ἰούδα ἡγεμόνες αὐτῶν, ἄρχοντες Ζαβουλὼν, ἄρχοντες Νεφθαλί.
68:27 There is little Benjamin, their ruler, the princes of Judah, their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
29 Ἔντειλαι ὁ Θεὸς τῇ δυνάμει σου, δυνάμωσον ὁ Θεὸς τοῦτο, ὃ κατηρτίσω ἐν ἡμῖν.
68:28 Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.
30 Ἀπὸ τοῦ ναοῦ σου ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, σοὶ οἴσουσι βασιλεῖς δῶρα.
68:29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem, kings shall bring presents to you.
31 Ἐπιτίμησον τοῖς θηρίοις τοῦ καλάμου· ἡ συναγωγὴ τῶν ταύρων ἐν ταῖς δαμάλεσι τῶν λαῶν, τοῦ μὴ ἀποκλεισθῆναι τοὺς δεδοκιμασμένους τῷ ἀργυρίῳ· διασκόρπισον ἔθνη τὰ τοὺς πολέμους θέλοντα.
68:30 Rebuke the wild animal of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls with the calves of the peoples. Trample under foot the bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.
32 Ἥξουσι πρέσβεις ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, Αἰθιοπία προφθάσει χεῖρα αὐτῆς τῷ Θεῷ.
68:31 Princes shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.
33 Αἱ βασιλεῖαι τῆς γῆς ᾄσατε τῷ Θεῷ, ψάλατε τῷ Κυρίῳ. διάψαλμα.
68:32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth! Sing praises to the Lord— Selah—
34 Ψάλατε τῷ Θεῷ τῷ ἐπιβεβηκότι ἐπὶ τὸν οὐρανὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατὰ ἀνατολὰς, ἰδοὺ δώσει ἐν τῇ φωνῇ αὐτοῦ φωνὴν δυνάμεως.
68:33 to him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.
35 Δότε δόξαν τῷ Θεῷ, ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἡ μεγαλοπρέπεια αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐν ταῖς νεφέλαις.
68:34 Ascribe strength to God! His excellency is over Israel, his strength is in the skies.
36 Θαυμαστὸς ὁ Θεὸς ἐν τοῖς ὁσίοις αὐτοῦ, ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, αὐτὸς δώσει δύναμιν καὶ κραταίωσιν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ· εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεός.
68:35 You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries. The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God!

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: 68.

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).
