Vamvas Modern Greek Bible: Vamvas (1850)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 «Εις τον πρώτον μουσικόν. Ψαλμός του Δαβίδ.» Άκουσον, Θεέ, της φωνής μου εν τη δεήσει μου· από του φόβου του εχθρού φύλαξον την ζωήν μου.
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Σκέπασόν με από συμβουλίου πονηρών, από φρυάγματος εργαζομένων ανομίαν·
2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;
3 οίτινες ακονώσιν ως ρομφαίαν την γλώσσαν αυτών· ετοιμάζουσιν ως βέλη λόγους πικρούς,
3 who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,
4 διά να τοξεύωσι κρυφίως τον άμεμπτον· εξαίφνης τοξεύουσιν αυτόν και δεν φοβούνται.
4 to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.
5 Στερεούνται επί πονηρού πράγματος· μελετώσι να κρύπτωσι παγίδας, λέγοντες, Τις θέλει ιδεί αυτούς;
5 They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”
6 Ανιχνεύουσιν ανομίας· απέκαμον ανιχνεύοντες επιμελώς· εκάστου δε τα εντός και η καρδία είναι βυθός.
6 They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.
7 Αλλ' ο Θεός θέλει τοξεύσει αυτούς· από αιφνιδίου βέλους θέλουσιν είσθαι αι πληγαί αυτών.
7 But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.
8 Και οι λόγοι της γλώσσης αυτών θέλουσι πέσει επ' αυτού· θέλουσι φεύγει πάντες οι βλέποντες αυτούς.
8 Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.
9 Και θέλει φοβηθή πας άνθρωπος, και θέλουσι διηγηθή το έργον του Θεού και εννοήσει τας εργασίας αυτού.
9 All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.
10 Ο δίκαιος θέλει ευφρανθή εις τον Κύριον και θέλει ελπίζει επ' αυτόν· και θέλουσι καυχάσθαι πάντες οι ευθείς την καρδίαν.
10 The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!

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 LXIII)

    This psalm hath the title, "For David himself, when he was in the desert of Idumæa." By the name of Idumæa is understood this world. For Idumæa was a certain nation of men going astray, where idols were worshipped. In no good sense is put this Idumæa.

  2. Quotes verse 64:10 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book II, Chapters IV–VI)

    For these meaner things have their delights, but not like unto my God, who hath created all things; for in Him doth the righteous delight, and He is the sweetness of the upright in heart.
