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 Αγάλλεσθε, δίκαιοι, εν Κυρίω· εις τους ευθείς αρμόζει η αίνεσις.
1 Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
2 Υμνείτε τον Κύριον εν κιθάρα· εν ψαλτηρίω δεκαχόρδω ψαλμωδήσατε εις αυτόν.
2 Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
3 Ψάλλετε εις αυτόν άσμα νέον· καλώς σημαίνετε τα όργανά σας εν αλαλαγμώ.
3 Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
4 Διότι ευθύς είναι ο λόγος του Κυρίου, και πάντα τα έργα αυτού μετά αληθείας.
4 For Yahweh’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
5 Αγαπά δικαιοσύνην και κρίσιν· από του ελέους του Κυρίου είναι πλήρης η γη.
5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.
6 Με τον λόγον του Κυρίου έγειναν οι ουρανοί, και διά της πνοής του στόματος αυτού πάσα η στρατιά αυτών.
6 By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.
7 Συνήγαγεν ως σωρόν τα ύδατα της θαλάσσης· έβαλεν εις αποθήκας τας αβύσσους.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
8 Ας φοβηθή τον Κύριον πάσα η γή· ας τρομάξωσιν απ' αυτού πάντες οι κάτοικοι της οικουμένης.
8 Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 Διότι αυτός είπε, και έγεινεν· αυτός προσέταξε, και εστερεώθη.
9 For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
10 Ο Κύριος ματαιόνει την βουλήν των εθνών, ανατρέπει τους διαλογισμούς των λαών.
10 Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11 Η βουλή του Κυρίου μένει εις τον αιώνα· οι λογισμοί της καρδίας αυτού εις γενεάν και γενεάν.
11 The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Μακάριον το έθνος, του οποίου ο Θεός είναι ο Κύριος. Ο λαός, τον οποίον εξέλεξε διά κληρονομίαν αυτού.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13 Ο Κύριος διέκυψεν εξ ουρανού· είδε πάντας τους υιούς των ανθρώπων.
13 Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.
14 Εκ του τόπου της κατοικήσεως αυτού θεωρεί πάντας τους κατοίκους της γης.
14 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 Εξ ίσου έπλασε τας καρδίας αυτών· γνωρίζει πάντα τα έργα αυτών.
15 he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
16 Δεν σώζεται βασιλεύς διά πλήθους στρατεύματος· ο δυνατός δεν ελευθερούται διά της μεγάλης αυτού ανδρείας.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 Μάταιος ο ίππος προς σωτηρίαν· και διά της πολλής αυτού δυνάμεως δεν θέλει σώσει.
17 A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
18 Ιδού, ο οφθαλμός του Κυρίου είναι επί τους φοβουμένους αυτόν· επί τους ελπίζοντας επί το έλεος αυτού·
18 Behold, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness,
19 διά να ελευθερώση εκ θανάτου την ψυχήν αυτών, και εν καιρώ πείνης να διαφυλάξη αυτούς εις ζωήν.
19 to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
20 Η ψυχή ημών προσμένει τον Κύριον· αυτός είναι βοηθός ημών και ασπίς ημών.
20 Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.
21 Διότι εις αυτόν θέλει ευφρανθή η καρδία ημών, επειδή επί το όνομα αυτού το άγιον ηλπίσαμεν.
21 For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Γένοιτο, Κύριε, το έλεός σου εφ' ημάς, καθώς ηλπίσαμεν επί σε.
22 Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, since we have hoped in you.

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).
To David himself; for understanding; by which it is understood that not by the merits of works, but by the grace of God, man is delivered, confessing his sins. 2. "Blessed are they whose unrighteousness is forgiven, and whose sins are covered" (ver. 1): and whose sins are buried in oblivion.

Thus saith the Scripture, to that effect: "By the Word of the Lord were the heavens established, and all the might of them, by the spirit of His mouth." And again, "All things were made by Him, and without Him was nothing made." There is no exception or deduction stated; but the Father made all things by Him, whether visible …
Thence we fell again to sighs and groans, and our steps to follow the broad and beaten ways of the world; for many thoughts were in our heart, but Thy counsel standeth for ever. Out of which counsel Thou didst mock ours, and preparedst Thine own, purposing to give us meat in due season, and to open Thy hand, and …

One, because the creative works of Christ are no other than the Father's; for the creation of all things is one, the Father having made them through the Son: For He spake, and they were made; He commanded, and they were created, saith the Psalmist.

"For by the word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath [the Spirit] of His mouth." The Word then is not a mere significant impression on the air, borne by the organs of speech; nor is the Spirit of His mouth a vapour, emitted by the organs of respiration; but the …
