Vamvas Modern Greek Bible: Vamvas (1850)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 «Εις τον πρώτον μουσικόν. Ψαλμός ωδής του Δαβίδ.» Ας εγερθή ο Θεός, και ας διασκορπισθώσιν οι εχθροί αυτού· και ας φύγωσιν απ' έμπροσθεν αυτού οι μισούντες αυτόν.
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song. Let God arise! Let his enemies be scattered! Let them who hate him also flee before him.
2 Καθώς αφανίζεται ο καπνός, ούτως αφάνισον αυτούς· καθώς διαλύεται ο κηρός έμπροσθεν του πυρός, ούτως ας απολεσθώσιν οι ασεβείς από προσώπου του Θεού.
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Οι δε δίκαιοι ας ευφραίνωνται· ας αγάλλωνται ενώπιον του Θεού· και ας τέρπωνται εν ευφροσύνη.
3 But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
4 Ψάλλετε εις τον Θεόν· ψαλμωδείτε εις το όνομα αυτού· ετοιμάσατε τας οδούς εις τον επιβαίνοντα επί των ερήμων· Κύριος είναι το όνομα αυτού· και αγάλλεσθε ενώπιον αυτού.
4 Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Extol him who rides on the clouds: to Yah, his name! Rejoice before him!
5 Πατήρ των ορφανών και κριτής των χηρών, είναι ο Θεός εν τω αγίω αυτού τόπω.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 Ο Θεός κατοικίζει εις οικογένειαν τους μεμονωμένους· εξάγει τους δεσμίους εις αφθονίαν· οι δε αποστάται κατοικούσιν εν γη ανύδρω.
6 God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
7 Θεέ, ότε εξήλθες έμπροσθεν του λαού σου, ότε περιεπάτεις διά της ερήμου· Διάψαλμα·
7 God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness... Selah.
8 η γη εσείσθη, και αυτοί οι ουρανοί έσταξαν από προσώπου του Θεού· το Σινά αυτό εσείσθη από προσώπου του Θεού, του Θεού του Ισραήλ.
8 The earth trembled. The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai— at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Θεέ, έπεμψας βροχήν άφθονον εις την κληρονομίαν σου, και εν τη αδυναμία αυτής συ ανεζωοποίησας αυτήν.
9 You, God, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed your inheritance when it was weary.
10 Η συναγωγή σου κατώκησεν εν αυτή· Θεέ, έκαμες ετοιμασίαν εις τον πτωχόν διά την αγαθότητά σου.
10 Your congregation lived therein. You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.
11 Ο Κύριος έδωκε λόγον· οι ευαγγελιζόμενοι ήσαν στράτευμα μέγα.
11 The Lord announced the word. The ones who proclaim it are a great company.
12 Βασιλείς στρατευμάτων φεύγοντες έφυγον, και αι διαμένουσαι εν τη οικία εμοίραζον τα λάφυρα.
12 “Kings of armies flee! They flee!” She who waits at home divides the plunder,
13 Και αν εκοίτεσθε εν μέσω εστίας, όμως θέλετε είσθαι ως πτέρυγες περιστεράς περιηργυρωμένης, και της οποίας τα πτερά είναι περικεχρυσωμένα από κιτρίνου χρυσίου.
13 while you sleep among the camp fires, the wings of a dove sheathed with silver, her feathers with shining gold.
14 Ότε ο Παντοδύναμος διεσκόρπιζε βασιλείς εν αυτή, έγεινε λευκή ως η χιών εν Σαλμών.
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in her, it snowed on Zalmon.
15 Το όρος του Θεού είναι ως το όρος της Βασάν· όρος υψηλόν ως το όρος της Βασάν.
15 The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains. The mountains of Bashan are rugged.
16 Διά τι ζηλοτυπείτε, όρη υψηλά; τούτο είναι το όρος, εν ω ευδόκησεν ο Θεός να κατοική· ο Κύριος, ναι, εν αυτώ θέλει κατοικεί εις τον αιώνα.
16 Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign? Yes, Yahweh will dwell there forever.
17 Αι άμαξαι του Θεού είναι δισμύριαι χιλιάδες χιλιάδων· ο Κύριος είναι μεταξύ αυτών ως εν Σινά, εν τω αγίω τόπω.
17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands. The Lord is among them, from Sinai, into the sanctuary.
18 Ανέβης εις ύψος· ηχμαλώτισας αιχμαλωσίαν· έλαβες χαρίσματα διά τους ανθρώπους· έτι δε και διά τους απειθείς, διά να κατοικής μεταξύ αυτών, Κύριε Θεέ.
18 You have ascended on high. You have led away captives. You have received gifts among people, yes, among the rebellious also, that Yah God might dwell there.
19 Ευλογητός Κύριος, όστις καθ' ημέραν επιφορτίζεις ημάς αγαθά· ο Θεός της σωτηρίας ημών. Διάψαλμα.
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens, even the God who is our salvation. Selah.
20 Ο Θεός ημών είναι Θεός σωτηρίας· και Κυρίου του Θεού είναι η λύτρωσις από του θανάτου.
20 God is to us a God of deliverance. To Yahweh, the Lord, belongs escape from death.
21 Ο Θεός εξάπαντος θέλει συντρίψει την κεφαλήν των εχθρών αυτού· και την τετριχωμένην κορυφήν του περιπατούντος εν ταις ανομίαις αυτού.
21 But God will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.
22 Ο Κύριος είπε, Θέλω επαναφέρει εκ Βασάν, θέλω επαναφέρει τον λαόν μου εκ των βαθέων της θαλάσσης·
22 The Lord said, “I will bring you again from Bashan, I will bring you again from the depths of the sea,
23 διά να βαφή ο πους σου εν τω αίματι των εχθρών σου και η γλώσσα των κυνών σου εξ αυτού.
23 that you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”
24 Εθεωρήθησαν τα βήματά σου, Θεέ· τα βήματα του Θεού μου, του βασιλέως μου, εν τω αγιαστηρίω.
24 They have seen your processions, God, even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25 Προεπορεύοντο οι ψάλται· κατόπιν οι παίζοντες όργανα, εν τω μέσω νεάνιδες τυμπανίστριαι.
25 The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, among the ladies playing with tambourines,
26 Εν εκκλησίαις ευλογείτε τον Θεόν· ευλογείτε τον Κύριον, οι εκ της πηγής του Ισραήλ.
26 “Bless God in the congregations, even the Lord in the assembly of Israel!”
27 Εκεί ήτο ο μικρός Βενιαμίν, ο αρχηγός αυτών· οι άρχοντες Ιούδα και ο λαός αυτών· οι άρχοντες Ζαβουλών και οι άρχοντες Νεφθαλί.
27 There is little Benjamin, their ruler, the princes of Judah, their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Διέταξεν ο Θεός σου την δύναμίν σου· στερέωσον, Θεέ, τούτο, το οποίον ενήργησας εις ημάς.
28 Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.
29 Διά τον ναόν σου τον εν Ιερουσαλήμ, βασιλείς θέλουσι προσφέρει εις σε δώρα.
29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem, kings shall bring presents to you.
30 Επιτίμησον τα θηρία του καλαμώνος, το πλήθος των ταύρων και τους μόσχους των λαών, εωσού έκαστος προσφέρη υποταγήν με πλάκας αργυρίου· διασκόρπισον τους λαούς τους αγαπώντας πολέμους.
30 Rebuke the wild animal of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls with the calves of the peoples. Trample under foot the bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.
31 Θέλουσιν ελθεί μεγιστάνες εξ Αιγύπτου· η Αιθιοπία ταχέως θέλει εκτείνει τας χείρας αυτής προς τον Θεόν.
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.
32 Αι βασιλείαι της γης, ψάλλετε εις τον Θεόν, ψαλμωδείτε εις τον Κύριον· Διάψαλμα·
32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth! Sing praises to the Lord— Selah—
33 εις τον επιβαίνοντα επί τους ουρανούς των έκπαλαι ουρανών· ιδού εκπέμπει την φωνήν αυτού, φωνήν κραταιάν.
33 to him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.
34 Απόδοτε το κράτος εις τον Θεόν· η μεγαλοπρέπεια αυτού είναι επί τον Ισραήλ και η δύναμις αυτού επί τους ουρανούς.
34 Ascribe strength to God! His excellency is over Israel, his strength is in the skies.
35 Φοβερός είσαι, Θεέ, εκ των αγιαστηρίων σου· ο Θεός του Ισραήλ είναι ο διδούς κράτος και δύναμιν εις τον λαόν αυτού. Ευλογητός ο Θεός.
35 You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries. The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God!

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 LXVII)

    Your Love remembereth, that in two Psalms, which have been already treated of, we have stirred up our soul to bless the Lord, and with godly chant have said, "Bless thou, O my soul, the Lord." If therefore we have stirred up our soul in those Psalms to bless the Lord, in this Psalm is well said, "May God have …

  2. Quotes verse 68:18 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book II, Chapter XIX)

    For the Lord, through means of suffering, "ascending into the lofty place, led captivity captive, gave gifts to men," and conferred on those that believe in Him the power "to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy," that is, of the leader of apostasy.

  4. Quotes verse 68:18 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XIX)

    For one saith, "Thou hast gone up on high, Thou hast led captivity captive, and hast received gifts amongst men." And, "The Lord strong and mighty in battle." And another saith, "He shall divide the spoils of the strong." For indeed to this purpose He came, that He might "preach deliverance to captives, and recovery of sight to the blind." …
