Vamvas Modern Greek Bible: Vamvas (1850)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 «Ωιδή των Αναβαθμών.» Οι πεποιθότες επί Κύριον είναι ως το όρος Σιών, το οποίον δεν θέλει σαλευθή· εις τον αιώνα διαμένει.
1 A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.
2 Καθώς η Ιερουσαλήμ κυκλόνεται υπό των ορέων, ούτως ο Κύριος κυκλόνει τον λαόν αυτού από του νυν και έως του αιώνος.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.
3 Διότι δεν θέλει διαμένει η ράβδος της ασεβείας επί τον κλήρον των δικαίων, διά να μη εκτείνωσιν οι δίκαιοι τας χείρας αυτών εις την ανομίαν.
3 For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.
4 Αγαθοποίησον, Κύριε, τους αγαθούς και τους ευθείς την καρδίαν.
4 Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.
5 Τους δε εκκλίνοντας εις τας σκολιάς οδούς των, ο Κύριος θέλει απαγάγει αυτούς μετά των εργαζομένων την ανομίαν. Ειρήνη επί τον Ισραήλ.
5 But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.

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).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CXXIV)

    Ye already well know, dearest brethren, that a "Song of Degrees," is a song of our ascent: and that this ascent is not effected by the feet of the body, but by the affections of the heart.

  2. Quotes verse 125:4 Gregory of Nazianzus, Theological Orations (The Fourth Theological Oration, Which is the Second Concerning the Son)

    ...Words of God, speaking to Saul about David. Or again, Do good, O Lord, unto the good...and all other like expressions concerning those of us who are praised, upon whom it is a kind of effluence from the Supreme Good, and has come to them in a secondary degree.
