Vamvas Modern Greek Bible: Vamvas (1850)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 «Ψαλμός του Δαβίδ, ότε ευρίσκετο εν τη ερήμω Ιούδα.» Θεέ, συ είσαι ο Θεός μου· από πρωΐας σε ζητώ· σε διψά η ψυχή μου, σε ποθεί η σαρξ μου, εν γη ερήμω, ξηρά και ανύδρω·
1 A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah. God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
2 διά να βλέπω την δύναμίν σου και την δόξαν σου, καθώς σε είδον εν τω αγιαστηρίω.
2 So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.
3 Διότι το έλεός σου είναι καλήτερον παρά την ζωήν· τα χείλη μου θέλουσι σε επαινεί.
3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
4 Ούτω θέλω σε ευλογεί εν τη ζωή μου· εν τω ονόματί σου θέλω υψόνει τας χείρας μου.
4 So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.
5 Ως από πάχους και μυελού θέλει χορτασθή η ψυχή μου και διά χειλέων αγαλλιάσεως θέλει υμνεί το στόμα μου,
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
6 Όταν σε ενθυμώμαι επί της στρωμνής μου, εις σε μελετώ εν ταις φυλακαίς της νυκτός.
6 when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.
7 Επειδή εστάθης βοήθειά μου· διά τούτο υπό την σκιάν των πτερύγων σου θέλω χαίρει.
7 For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
8 Προσεκολλήθη η ψυχή μου κατόπιν σου· η δεξιά σου με υποστηρίζει.
8 My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
9 Οι δε ζητούντες την ψυχήν μου, διά να εξολοθρεύσωσιν αυτήν, θέλουσιν εμβή εις τα κατώτατα μέρη της γής·
9 But those who seek my soul to destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 θέλουσι πέσει διά ρομφαίας· θέλουσιν είσθαι μερίς αλωπέκων.
10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.
11 Ο δε βασιλεύς θέλει ευφρανθή επί τον Θεόν· θέλει δοξασθή πας ο ομνύων εις αυτόν· διότι θέλει φραχθή το στόμα των λαλούντων ψεύδος.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.

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).
