Vamvas Modern Greek Bible: Vamvas (1850)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 «Εις τον πρώτον μουσικόν, Μασχίλ του Δαβίδ, ότε ήλθε Δωήκ ο Ιδουμαίος και ανήγγειλε προς τον Σαούλ, και είπε προς αυτόν. Ήλθεν ο Δαβίδ εις την οικίαν του Αχιμέλεχ.» Τι καυχάσαι εις την κακίαν, δυνατέ; το έλεος του Θεού διαμένει εις τον αιώνα.
1 For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, “David has come to Ahimelech’s house.” Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.
2 Η γλώσσα σου μελετά κακίας· ως ξυράφιον ηκονημένον εργάζεται δόλον.
2 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 Ηγάπησας το κακόν μάλλον παρά το αγαθόν, το ψεύδος παρά να λαλής δικαιοσύνην. Διάψαλμα.
3 You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.
4 Ηγάπησας πάντας τους λόγους του αφανισμού, γλώσσαν δολίαν.
4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
5 Διά τούτο ο Θεός θέλει σε εξολοθρεύσει διαπαντός· θέλει σε αποσπάσει και σε μετατοπίσει εκ της σκηνής σου, και θέλει σε εκριζώσει εκ γης ζώντων. Διάψαλμα.
5 God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
6 Και οι δίκαιοι θέλουσιν ιδεί και φοβηθή· και θέλουσι γελάσει επ' αυτόν λέγοντες,
6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
7 Ιδού, ο άνθρωπος, όστις δεν έθεσε τον Θεόν δύναμιν αυτού. αλλ' ήλπισεν επί το πλήθος του πλούτου αυτού και επεστηρίζετο επί την πονηρίαν αυτού.
7 “Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”
8 Εγώ δε θέλω είσθαι ως ελαία ακμάζουσα εν τω οίκω του Θεού· ελπίζω επί το έλεος του Θεού εις τον αιώνα του αιώνος.
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.
9 Θέλω σε δοξολογεί πάντοτε, διότι έκαμες ούτω· και θέλω ελπίζει επί το όνομά σου, διότι είναι αγαθόν έμπροσθεν των οσίων σου.
9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints.

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 LI)

    Neither must this multitude's throng be defrauded, nor their infirmity burthened. Silence we ask, and quiet, in order that our voice, after yesterday's labour, be able with some little vigour to last out.

  2. Quotes verse 52:8 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XV, Chapter 20)

    For he prefigures that society of men which says, "But I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I have trusted in the mercy of God." But let him not seek the empty honors of a famous name upon earth, for "Blessed is the man that maketh the name of the Lord his trust, and respecteth not …

  3. Quotes verse 52:8 Basil of Caesarea, Hexaemeron (Homily V)

    Be "like a green olive tree in the house of God," never destitute of hope, but decked through faith with the bloom of salvation.
