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 «Ψαλμός του Δαβίδ.» Ο Κύριος είναι φως μου και σωτηρία μου· τίνα θέλω φοβηθή; ο Κύριος είναι δύναμις της ζωής μου· από τίνος θέλω δειλιάσει;
1 Salmo de David. JEHOVÁ es mi luz y mi salvación: ¿de quién temeré? Jehová es la fortaleza de mi vida: ¿de quién he de atemorizarme?
1 By David. Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 Ότε επλησίασαν επ' εμέ οι πονηρευόμενοι, διά να καταφάγωσι την σάρκα μου, οι αντίδικοι και οι εχθροί μου, αυτοί προσέκρουσαν και έπεσον.
2 Cuando se allegaron contra mí los malignos, mis angustiadores y mis enemigos, para comer mis carnes, ellos tropezaron y cayeron.
2 When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
3 Και αν παραταχθή εναντίον μου στράτευμα, η καρδία μου δεν θέλει φοβηθή· και αν πόλεμος σηκωθή επ' εμέ, και τότε θέλω ελπίζει.
3 Aunque se asiente campo contra mí, no temerá mi corazón: aunque contra mí se levante guerra, yo en esto confío.
3 Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
4 Εν εζήτησα παρά του Κυρίου, τούτο θέλω εκζητεί· το να κατοικώ εν τω οίκω του Κυρίου πάσας τας ημέρας της ζωής μου, να θεωρώ το κάλλος του Κυρίου και να επισκέπτωμαι τον ναόν αυτού.
4 Una cosa he demandado á Jehová, ésta buscaré: que esté yo en la casa de Jehová todos los días de mi vida, para contemplar la hermosura de Jehová, y para inquirir en su templo.
4 One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.
5 Διότι εν ημέρα συμφοράς θέλει με κρύψει εν τη σκηνή αυτού· Θέλει με κρύψει εν τω αποκρύφω της σκηνής αυτού· θέλει με υψώσει επί βράχον·
5 Porque él me esconderá en su tabernáculo en el día del mal; ocultaráme en lo reservado de su pabellón; pondráme en alto sobre una roca.
5 For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.
6 και ήδη η κεφαλή μου θέλει υψωθή υπεράνω των εχθρών μου των περικυκλούντων με· και θέλω θυσιάσει εν τη σκηνή αυτού θυσίας αλαλαγμού· θέλω υμνεί και θέλω ψαλμωδεί εις τον Κύριον.
6 Y luego ensalzará mi cabeza sobre mis enemigos en derredor de mí: y yo sacrificaré en su tabernáculo sacrificios de júbilo: cantaré y salmearé á Jehová.
6 Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.
7 Άκουσον, Κύριε, της φωνής μου, όταν κράζω· και ελέησόν με και εισάκουσόν μου.
7 Oye, oh Jehová, mi voz [con que á ti] clamo; y ten misericordia de mí, respóndeme.
7 Hear, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
8 Ζητήσατε το πρόσωπόν μου, είπε περί σου η καρδία μου. Το πρόσωπόν σου, Κύριε, θέλω ζητήσει.
8 Mi corazón ha dicho de ti: Buscad mi rostro. Tu rostro buscaré, oh Jehová.
8 When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, Yahweh.”
9 Μη κρύψης απ' εμού το πρόσωπόν σου· μη απορρίψης εν οργή τον δούλον σου· συ εστάθης βοήθειά μου· μη με αφήσης και μη με εγκαταλείψης, Θεέ της σωτηρίας μου.
9 No escondas tu rostro de mí, no apartes con ira á tu siervo: mi ayuda has sido; no me dejes y no me desampares, Dios de mi salud.
9 Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.
10 Και αν ο πατήρ μου και η μήτηρ μου με εγκαταλείψωσιν, ο Κύριος όμως θέλει με προσδεχθή.
10 Aunque mi padre y mi madre me dejaran, Jehová con todo me recogerá.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then Yahweh will take me up.
11 Δίδαξόν με, Κύριε, την οδόν σου και οδήγησόν με εν οδώ ευθεία ένεκεν των εχθρών μου.
11 Enséñame, oh Jehová, tu camino, y guíame por senda de rectitud, á causa de mis enemigos.
11 Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
12 Μη με παραδώσης εις την επιθυμίαν των εχθρών μου· διότι ηγέρθησαν κατ' εμού μάρτυρες ψευδείς και πνέοντες αδικίαν.
12 No me entregues á la voluntad de mis enemigos; porque se han levantado contra mí testigos falsos, y los que respiran crueldad.
12 Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.
13 Ουαί εάν δεν επίστευον να ίδω τα αγαθά του Κυρίου εν γη ζώντων.
13 [Hubiera yo desmayado], si no creyese que tengo de ver la bondad de Jehová en la tierra de los vivientes.
13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.
14 Πρόσμενε τον Κύριον· ανδρίζου, και ας κραταιωθή η καρδία σου· και πρόσμενε τον Κύριον.
14 Aguarda á Jehová; esfuérzate, y aliéntese tu corazón: sí, espera á Jehová.
14 Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

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).
It may be attributed to David himself, not the Mediator, the Man Christ Jesus, but the whole Church now perfectly established in Christ. 2. "Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence" (ver. 1).

And even now Thou drawest out of this vast deep the soul that seeketh Thee and thirsteth after Thy delights, whose "heart said unto Thee," I have sought Thy face, "Thy face, Lord, will I seek." For I was far from Thy face, through my darkened affections.
