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 «Ψαλμός διά τον Σολομώντα.» Θεέ, δος την κρίσιν σου εις τον βασιλέα και την δικαιοσύνην σου εις τον υιόν του βασιλέως·
1 By Solomon. God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son.
2 Διά να κρίνη τον λαόν σου εν δικαιοσύνη και τους πτωχούς σου εν κρίσει.
2 He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.
3 Τα όρη θέλουσι φέρει ειρήνην εις τον λαόν και οι λόφοι δικαιοσύνην.
3 The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
4 Θέλει κρίνει τους πτωχούς του λαού· θέλει σώσει τους υιούς των πενήτων και συντρίψει τον καταδυναστεύοντα.
4 He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.
5 Θέλουσι σε φοβείσθαι ενόσω διαμένει ο ήλιος και η σελήνη, εις γενεάς γενεών.
5 They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6 Θέλει καταβή ως βροχή επί θερισμένον λειβάδιον· ως ρανίδες σταλάζουσαι επί την γην.
6 He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
7 Εν ταις ημέραις αυτού θέλει ανθεί ο δίκαιος· και αφθονία ειρήνης θέλει είσθαι εωσού μη υπάρξη η σελήνη.
7 In his days, the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
8 Και θέλει κατακυριεύει από θαλάσσης έως θαλάσσης και από του ποταμού έως των περάτων της γης.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.
9 Έμπροσθεν αυτού θέλουσι γονυκλιτήσει οι κατοικούντες εν ερήμοις, και οι εχθροί αυτού θέλουσι γλείψει το χώμα.
9 Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.
10 Οι βασιλείς της Θαρσείς και των νήσων θέλουσι προσφέρει προσφοράς· οι βασιλείς της Αραβίας και της Σεβά θέλουσι προσφέρει δώρα.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Και θέλουσι προσκυνήσει αυτόν πάντες οι βασιλείς· πάντα τα έθνη θέλουσι δουλεύσει αυτόν.
11 Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.
12 Διότι θέλει ελευθερώσει τον πτωχόν κράζοντα και τον πένητα και τον αβοήθητον.
12 For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.
13 Θέλει ελεήσει τον πτωχόν και τον πένητα· και τας ψυχάς των πενήτων θέλει σώσει.
13 He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy.
14 Εκ δόλου και εξ αδικίας θέλει λυτρόνει τας ψυχάς αυτών· και πολύτιμον θέλει είσθαι το αίμα αυτών εις τους οφθαλμούς αυτού.
14 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.
15 Και θέλει ζη, και θέλει δοθή εις αυτόν από του χρυσίου της Αραβίας, και θέλει γίνεσθαι πάντοτε προσευχή υπέρ αυτού· όλην την ημέραν θέλουσιν ευλογεί αυτόν.
15 He will live; and Sheba’s gold will be given to him. Men will pray for him continually. They will bless him all day long.
16 Δράξ σίτου εάν υπάρχη εν τη γη επί των κορυφών των ορέων, ο καρπός αυτού θέλει σείεσθαι ως ο Λίβανος· και οι κάτοικοι εν τη πόλει θέλουσιν εξανθήσει ως ο χόρτος της γης.
16 Abundance of grain shall be throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
17 Το όνομα αυτού θέλει διαμένει εις τον αιώνα· το όνομα αυτού θέλει διαρκεί ενόσω διαμένει ο ήλιος· και οι άνθρωποι θέλουσιν ευλογείσθαι εν αυτώ· πάντα τα έθνη θέλουσι μακαρίζει αυτόν.
17 His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.
18 Ευλογητός Κύριος ο Θεός, ο Θεός του Ισραήλ, όστις μόνος κάμνει θαυμάσια·
18 Praise be to Yahweh God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
19 και ευλογημένον το ένδοξον όνομα αυτού εις τον αιώνα· και ας πληρωθή από της δόξης αυτού η πάσα γη. Αμήν, και αμήν.
19 Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen.
20 Ετελείωσαν αι προσευχαί του Δαβίδ υιού του Ιεσσαί.
20 This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.

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).
In all the holy Scriptures the grace of God that delivereth us commendeth itself to us, in order that it may have us commended.

For on this account that prophecy went before concerning Him: "He shall reign from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth." But since, before He suffered and rose from the dead, the faith had not yet been defined to all, but was defined in the resurrection of Christ (for so the Apostle …
