Notes on this text (3)
- Greek and Latin Bibles number most Psalms one lower than Hebrew and English Bibles.
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Ευλόγει, η ψυχή μου, τον Κύριον. Κύριε Θεέ μου, εμεγαλύνθης σφόδρα· τιμήν και μεγαλοπρέπειαν είσαι ενδεδυμένος·
1 Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.
2 ο περιτυλιττόμενος το φως ως ιμάτιον, ο εκτείνων τον ουρανόν ως καταπέτασμα·
2 He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.
3 ο στεγάζων με ύδατα τα υπερώα αυτού· ο ποιών τα νέφη άμαξαν αυτού· ο περιπατών επί πτερύγων ανέμων·
3 He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.
4 ο ποιών τους αγγέλους αυτού πνεύματα, τους λειτουργούς αυτού πυρός φλόγα·
4 He makes his messengers winds, and his servants flames of fire.
5 ο θεμελιών την γην επί την βάσιν αυτής, διά να μη σαλευθή εις τον αιώνα του αιώνος.
5 He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.
6 Με την άβυσσον, ως με ιμάτιον, εκάλυψας αυτήν· τα ύδατα εστάθησαν επί των ορέων·
6 You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.
7 από επιτιμήσεώς σου έφυγον· από της φωνής της βροντής σου εσύρθησαν εν βία·
7 At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.
8 ανέβησαν εις τα όρη, κατέβησαν εις τας κοιλάδας, εις τόπον, τον οποίον διώρισας δι' αυτά·
8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.
9 έθεσας όριον, το οποίον δεν θέλουσιν υπερβή ουδέ θέλουσιν επιστρέψει διά να σκεπάσωσι την γην.
9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.
10 Ο εξαποστέλλων πηγάς εις τας φάραγγας, διά να ρέωσιν αναμέσον των ορέων·
10 He sends springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.
11 ποτίζουσι πάντα τα θηρία του αγρού· οι άγριοι όνοι σβύνουσι την δίψαν αυτών·
11 They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 πλησίον αυτών τα πετεινά του ουρανού κατασκηνούσι, και αναμέσον των κλάδων κελαδούσιν.
12 The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.
13 Ο ποτίζων τα όρη εκ των υπερώων αυτού· από του καρπού των έργων σου χορταίνει η γη.
13 He waters the mountains from his rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.
14 Ο αναδίδων χόρτον διά τα κτήνη και βοτάνην προς χρήσιν του ανθρώπου, διά να εξάγη τροφήν εκ της γης,
14 He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may produce food out of the earth:
15 και οίνον ευφραίνοντα την καρδίαν του ανθρώπου, έλαιον διά να λαμπρύνη το πρόσωπον αυτού, και άρτον στηρίζοντα την καρδίαν του ανθρώπου.
15 wine that makes the heart of man glad, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man’s heart.
16 Εχορτάσθησαν τα δένδρα του Κυρίου· αι κέδροι του Λιβάνου, τας οποίας εφύτευσεν·
16 Yahweh’s trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,
17 Όπου τα πετεινά κάμνουσι φωλεάς· αι πεύκαι είναι η κατοικία του πελαργού.
17 where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the cypress trees.
18 Τα όρη τα υψηλά είναι διά τας δορκάδας· αι πέτραι καταφυγή εις τους δασύποδας.
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.
19 Έκαμε την σελήνην διά τους καιρούς· ο ήλιος γνωρίζει την δύσιν αυτού.
19 He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.
20 Φέρεις σκότος, και γίνεται νύξ· εν αυτή περιφέρονται πάντα τα θηρία του δάσους·
20 You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.
21 οι σκύμνοι βρυχώνται διά να αρπάσωσι, και να ζητήσωσι παρά του Θεού την τροφήν αυτών.
21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
22 Ο ήλιος ανατέλλει· συνάγονται και πλαγιάζουσιν εν τοις σπηλαίοις αυτών·
22 The sun rises, and they steal away, and lie down in their dens.
23 εξέρχεται ο άνθρωπος εις το έργον αυτού και εις την εργασίαν αυτού έως εσπέρας.
23 Man goes out to his work, to his labor until the evening.
24 Πόσον μεγάλα είναι τα έργα σου, Κύριε· τα πάντα εν σοφία εποίησας· η γη είναι πλήρης των ποιημάτων σου·
24 Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom, you have made them all. The earth is full of your riches.
25 αύτη η θάλασσα η μεγάλη και ευρύχωρος. Εκεί είναι ερπετά αναρίθμητα, ζώα μικρά μετά μεγάλων·
25 There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.
26 εκεί διατρέχουσι τα πλοία· εκεί ο Λευϊάθαν ούτος, τον οποίον έπλασας διά να παίζη εν αυτή.
26 There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.
27 Πάντα ταύτα επί σε ελπίζουσι, διά να δώσης εν καιρώ την τροφήν αυτών.
27 These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season.
28 Δίδεις εις αυτά, συνάγουσιν· ανοίγεις την χείρα σου, χορταίνουσιν αγαθά.
28 You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.
29 Αποστρέφεις το πρόσωπόν σου, ταράττονται· σηκόνεις την πνοήν αυτών, αποθνήσκουσι και εις το χώμα αυτών επιστρέφουσιν·
29 You hide your face; they are troubled. You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust.
30 εξαποστέλλεις το πνεύμά σου, κτίζονται, και ανανεόνεις το πρόσωπον της γης.
30 You send out your Spirit and they are created. You renew the face of the ground.
31 Η δόξα του Κυρίου έστω εις τον αιώνα· ας ευφραίνεται ο Κύριος εις τα έργα αυτού·
31 Let Yahweh’s glory endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.
32 ο επιβλέπων επί την γην και κάμνων αυτήν να τρέμη· εγγίζει τα όρη, και καπνίζουσι.
32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 Θέλω ψάλλει εις τον Κύριον ενόσω ζώ· θέλω ψαλμωδεί εις τον Θεόν μου ενόσω υπάρχω.
33 I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
34 Η εις αυτόν μελέτη μου θέλει είσθαι γλυκεία· εγώ θέλω ευφραίνεσθαι εις τον Κύριον.
34 Let my meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.
35 Ας εκλείψωσιν οι αμαρτωλοί από της γης και οι ασεβείς ας μη υπάρχωσι πλέον. Ευλόγει, η ψυχή μου, τον Κύριον. Αλληλούϊα.
35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!

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).
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).
… knowledge, "who, being the brightness of His majesty, is by so much greater than the angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they." For it is thus written, "Who maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire." But concerning His Son the Lord spoke thus: "Thou art my Son, to-day have I …
… God who made and adorned the heavens, and the earth, and all things that are in them, and maintain that they themselves are spiritual, while they are in fact shamefully carnal on account of their so great impiety,--affirming that He, who has made His angels spirits, and is clothed with light as with a garment, and holds the circle of …
I will with confidence cry out from Thy oracle, How wonderful are Thy works, O Lord, in Wisdom hast Thou made them all. And this Wisdom is the Beginning, and in that Beginning hast Thou made heaven and earth.

"For a cloud and darkness are round about Him;" and, "He sitteth on a light cloud;" and again, "Who maketh clouds His chariot;" and, "A cloud received Him out of their sight;" and, "As the Son of Man coming in the clouds." In order then that they might believe that the voice proceeds from God, it comes from thence.

Wine was given to make glad the heart of man: and Dionysus (Bacchus) was worshipped instead of God.
