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).

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 «Μασχίλ του Εθάν του Εζραΐτου.» Τα ελέη του Κυρίου εις τον αιώνα θέλω ψάλλει· διά του στόματός μου θέλω αναγγέλλει την αλήθειάν σου εις γενεάν και γενεάν.
1 Masquil de Ethán Ezrahita. LAS misericordias de Jehová cantaré perpetuamente: en generación y generación haré notoria tu verdad con mi boca.
1 A contemplation by Ethan, the Ezrahite. I will sing of the loving kindness of Yahweh forever. With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.
2 Διότι είπα, το έλεός σου θέλει θεμελιωθή εις τον αιώνα· εν τοις ουρανοίς θέλεις στερεώσει την αλήθειάν σου.
2 Porque dije: Para siempre será edificada misericordia; en los mismos cielos apoyarás tu verdad.
2 I indeed declare, “Love stands firm forever. You established the heavens. Your faithfulness is in them.”
3 Έκαμα διαθήκην μετά του εκλεκτού μου· ώμοσα προς Δαβίδ τον δούλον μου·
3 Hice alianza con mi escogido; juré á David mi siervo, [diciendo]:
3 “I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David, my servant,
4 Διαπαντός θέλω στερεώσει το σπέρμα σου, και θέλω οικοδομήσει τον θρόνον σου εις γενεάν και γενεάν. Διάψαλμα.
4 Para siempre confirmaré tu simiente, y edificaré tu trono por todas las generaciones. (Selah.)
4 ‘I will establish your offspring forever, and build up your throne to all generations.’” Selah.
5 Και οι ουρανοί θέλουσιν υμνεί τα θαυμάσιά σου, Κύριε· και η αλήθειά σου θέλει εξυμνείσθαι εν τη συνάξει των αγίων.
5 Y celebrarán los cielos tu maravilla, oh Jehová; tu verdad también en la congregación de los santos.
5 The heavens will praise your wonders, Yahweh, your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
6 Διότι τις εν τω ουρανώ δύναται να εξισωθή με τον Κύριον; Τις μεταξύ των υιών των δυνατών δύναται να ομοιωθή με τον Κύριον;
6 Porque ¿quién en los cielos se igualará con Jehová? ¿quién será semejante á Jehová entre los hijos de los potentados?
6 For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh? Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like Yahweh,
7 Ο Θεός είναι φοβερός σφόδρα εν τη βουλή των αγίων και σεβαστός εν πάσι τοις κύκλω αυτού.
7 Dios terrible en la grande congregación de los santos, y formidable sobre todos cuantos están alrededor suyo.
7 a very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, to be feared above all those who are around him?
8 Κύριε Θεέ των δυνάμεων, τις όμοιός σου; δυνατός είσαι, Κύριε, και η αλήθειά σου είναι κύκλω σου.
8 Oh Jehová, Dios de los ejércitos, ¿quién como tú? Poderoso eres, Jehová, y tu verdad está en torno de ti.
8 Yahweh, God of Armies, who is a mighty one, like you? Yah, your faithfulness is around you.
9 Συ δεσπόζεις την έπαρσιν της θαλάσσης· όταν σηκόνωνται τα κύματα αυτής, συ ταπεινόνεις αυτά.
9 Tú tienes dominio sobre la bravura de la mar: cuando se levantan sus ondas, tú las sosiegas.
9 You rule the pride of the sea. When its waves rise up, you calm them.
10 Συ συνέτριψας την Ραάβ ως τραυματίαν· διά του βραχίονος της δυνάμεώς σου διεσκόρπισας τους εχθρούς σου.
10 Tú quebrantaste á Rahab como á un muerto: con el brazo de tu fortaleza esparciste á tus enemigos.
10 You have broken Rahab in pieces, like one of the slain. You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
11 Σού είναι οι ουρανοί και σου η γη την οικουμένην και το πλήρωμα αυτής, συ εθεμελίωσας αυτά.
11 Tuyos los cielos, tuya también la tierra: el mundo y su plenitud, tú lo fundaste.
11 The heavens are yours. The earth also is yours, the world and its fullness. You have founded them.
12 Τον βορράν και τον νότον, συ έκτισας αυτούς· Θαβώρ και Αερμών εις το όνομά σου θέλουσιν αγάλλεσθαι.
12 Al aquilón y al austro tú los criaste: Tabor y Hermón cantarán en tu nombre.
12 You have created the north and the south. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.
13 Έχεις ισχυρόν τον βραχίονα· κραταιά είναι η χειρ σου· υψηλή η δεξιά σου.
13 Tuyo el brazo con valentía; fuerte es tu mano, ensalzada tu diestra.
13 You have a mighty arm. Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted.
14 Η δικαιοσύνη και η κρίσις είναι η βάσις του θρόνου σου· το έλεος και η αλήθεια θέλουσι προπορεύεσθαι έμπροσθεν του προσώπου σου.
14 Justicia y juicio son el asiento de tu trono: misericordia y verdad van delante de tu rostro.
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.
15 Μακάριος ο λαός ο γινώσκων αλαλαγμόν· θέλουσι περιπατεί, Κύριε, εν τω φωτί του προσώπου σου.
15 Bienaventurado el pueblo que sabe aclamarte: andarán, oh Jehová, á la luz de tu rostro.
15 Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, Yahweh.
16 Εις το όνομά σου θέλουσιν αγάλλεσθαι όλην την ημέραν· και εις την δικαιοσύνην σου θέλουσιν υψωθή.
16 En tu nombre se alegrarán todo el día; y en tu justicia serán ensalzados.
16 In your name they rejoice all day. In your righteousness, they are exalted.
17 Διότι συ είσαι το καύχημα της δυνάμεως αυτών· και διά της ευμενείας σου θέλει υψωθή το κέρας ημών.
17 Porque tú eres la gloria de su fortaleza; y por tu buena voluntad ensalzarás nuestro cuerno.
17 For you are the glory of their strength. In your favor, our horn will be exalted.
18 Διότι ο Κύριος είναι η ασπίς ημών· και ο Άγιος του Ισραήλ ο βασιλεύς ημών.
18 Porque Jehová es nuestro escudo; y nuestro rey es el Santo de Israel.
18 For our shield belongs to Yahweh, our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19 Ελάλησας τότε δι' οράματος προς τον όσιόν σου και είπας· έθεσα βοήθειαν επί τον δυνατόν· ύψωσα εκλεκτόν εκ του λαού·
19 Entonces hablaste en visión á tu santo, y dijiste: Yo he puesto el socorro sobre valiente; he ensalzado [un] escogido de mi pueblo.
19 Then you spoke in vision to your saints, and said, “I have given strength to the warrior. I have exalted a young man from the people.
20 Εύρηκα Δαβίδ τον δούλον μου· με το έλαιον το άγιόν μου έχρισα αυτόν·
20 Hallé á David mi siervo; ungílo con el aceite de mi santidad.
20 I have found David, my servant. I have anointed him with my holy oil,
21 η χειρ μου θέλει στερεόνει αυτόν· και ο βραχίων μου θέλει ενδυναμόνει αυτόν.
21 Mi mano será firme con él, mi brazo también lo fortificará.
21 with whom my hand shall be established. My arm will also strengthen him.
22 δεν θέλει υπερισχύσει εχθρός κατ' αυτού· ουδέ υιός ανομίας θέλει ταλαιπωρήσει αυτόν.
22 No lo avasallará enemigo, ni hijo de iniquidad lo quebrantará.
22 No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him.
23 Και θέλω κατακόψει απ' έμπροσθεν αυτού τους εχθρούς αυτού· και τους μισούντας αυτόν θέλω κατατροπώσει.
23 Mas yo quebrantaré delante de él á sus enemigos, y heriré á sus aborrecedores.
23 I will beat down his adversaries before him, and strike those who hate him.
24 Η δε αλήθειά μου και το έλεός μου θέλουσιν είσθαι μετ' αυτού· και εν τω ονόματί μου θέλει υψωθή το κέρας αυτού.
24 Y mi verdad y mi misericordia serán con él; y en mi nombre será ensalzado su cuerno.
24 But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him. In my name, his horn will be exalted.
25 Και θέλω θέσει την χείρα αυτού επί την θάλασσαν, και επί τους ποταμούς την δεξιάν αυτού.
25 Asimismo pondré su mano en la mar, y en los ríos su diestra.
25 I will set his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.
26 Αυτός θέλει κράξει προς εμέ, Πατήρ μου είσαι, Θεός μου και πέτρα της σωτηρίας μου.
26 El me llamará: Mi padre eres tú, mi Dios, y la roca de mi salud.
26 He will call to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation!’
27 Εγώ βεβαίως θέλω κάμει αυτόν πρωτότοκόν μου, Ύψιστον επί τους βασιλείς της γης.
27 Yo también le pondré [por] primogénito, alto sobre los reyes de la tierra.
27 I will also appoint him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28 Διαπαντός θέλω φυλάττει εις αυτόν το έλεός μου, και η διαθήκη μου θέλει είσθαι στερεά μετ' αυτού.
28 Para siempre le conservaré mi misericordia; y mi alianza será firme con él.
28 I will keep my loving kindness for him forever more. My covenant will stand firm with him.
29 Και θέλω κάμει να διαμένη το σπέρμα αυτού εις τον αιώνα, και ο θρόνος αυτού ως αι ημέραι του ουρανού.
29 Y pondré su simiente para siempre, y su trono como los días de los cielos.
29 I will also make his offspring endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 Εάν εγκαταλίπωσιν οι υιοί αυτού τον νόμον μου και εις τας κρίσεις μου δεν περιπατήσωσιν·
30 Si dejaren sus hijos mi ley, y no anduvieren en mis juicios;
30 If his children forsake my law, and don’t walk in my ordinances;
31 Εάν παραβώσι τα διατάγματά μου και δεν φυλάξωσι τας εντολάς μου·
31 Si profanaren mis estatutos, y no guardaren mis mandamientos;
31 if they break my statutes, and don’t keep my commandments;
32 Τότε θέλω επισκεφθή με ράβδον τας παραβάσεις αυτών και με πληγάς τας παρανομίας αυτών.
32 Entonces visitaré con vara su rebelión, y con azotes sus iniquidades.
32 then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 Το έλεός μου όμως δεν θέλω αφαιρέσει απ' αυτού, ουδέ θέλω ψευσθή κατά της αληθείας μου.
33 Mas no quitaré de él mi misericordia, ni falsearé mi verdad.
33 But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.
34 Δεν θέλω παραβή την διαθήκην μου, ουδέ θέλω αθετήσει ό,τι εξήλθεν εκ των χειλέων μου.
34 No olvidaré mi pacto, ni mudaré lo que ha salido de mis labios.
34 I will not break my covenant, nor alter what my lips have uttered.
35 Άπαξ ώμοσα εις την αγιότητά μου, ότι δεν θέλω ψευσθή προς τον Δαβίδ.
35 Una vez he jurado por mi santidad, que no mentiré á David.
35 Once I have sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David.
36 Το σπέρμα αυτού θέλει διαμένει εις τον αιώνα και ο θρόνος αυτού ως ο ήλιος, ενώπιόν μου·
36 Su simiente será para siempre, y su trono como el sol delante de mí.
36 His offspring will endure forever, his throne like the sun before me.
37 Ως η σελήνη θέλει στερεωθή εις τον αιώνα και μάρτυς πιστός εν τω ουρανώ. Διάψαλμα.
37 Como la luna será firme para siempre, y [como] un testigo fiel en el cielo. (Selah.)
37 It will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah.
38 Αλλά συ απέβαλες και εβδελύχθης, ωργίσθης κατά του χριστού σου·
38 Mas tú desechaste y menospreciaste á tu ungido; y te has airado [con él].
38 But you have rejected and spurned. You have been angry with your anointed.
39 ηκύρωσας την διαθήκην του δούλου σου· εβεβήλωσας το διάδημα αυτού έως της γης.
39 Rompiste el pacto de tu siervo; has profanado su corona [hasta] la tierra.
39 You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have defiled his crown in the dust.
40 Κατέβαλες πάντας τους φραγμούς αυτού· ηφάνισας τα οχυρώματα αυτού·
40 Aportillaste todos sus vallados; has quebrantado sus fortalezas.
40 You have broken down all his hedges. You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
41 διαρπάζουσιν αυτόν πάντες οι διαβαίνοντες την οδόν· κατεστάθη όνειδος εις τους γείτονας αυτού.
41 Menoscabáronle todos los que pasaron por el camino: es oprobio á sus vecinos.
41 All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbors.
42 Ύψωσας την δεξιάν των εναντίων αυτού· εύφρανας πάντας τους εχθρούς αυτού·
42 Has ensalzado la diestra de sus enemigos; has alegrado á todos sus adversarios.
42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all of his enemies rejoice.
43 ήμβλυνας μάλιστα το κοπτερόν της ρομφαίας αυτού και δεν εστερέωσας αυτόν εν τη μάχη·
43 Embotaste asimismo el filo de su espada, y no lo levantaste en la batalla.
43 Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword, and haven’t supported him in battle.
44 Έπαυσας την δόξαν αυτού και τον θρόνον αυτού έρριψας κατά γης.
44 Hiciste cesar su brillo, y echaste su trono por tierra.
44 You have ended his splendor, and thrown his throne down to the ground.
45 Ωλιγόστευσας τας ημέρας της νεότητος αυτού· ενέδυσας αυτόν με αισχύνην. Διάψαλμα.
45 Has acortado los días de su juventud; hasle cubierto de afrenta. (Selah.)
45 You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. Selah.
46 Έως πότε, Κύριε; θέλεις κρύπτεσθαι διαπαντός; θέλει καίεσθαι ως πυρ η οργή σου;
46 ¿Hasta cuándo, oh Jehová? ¿te esconderás para siempre? ¿arderá tu ira como el fuego?
46 How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?
47 Μνήσθητι πόσον βραχύς είναι ο καιρός μου, εν τίνι ματαιότητι εποίησας πάντας τους υιούς των ανθρώπων.
47 Acuérdate de cuán corto sea mi tiempo: ¿por qué habrás criado en vano á todos los hijos del hombre?
47 Remember how short my time is, for what vanity you have created all the children of men!
48 Τις άνθρωπος θέλει ζήσει και δεν θέλει ιδεί θάνατον; τις θέλει λυτρώσει την ψυχήν αυτού εκ της χειρός του άδου; Διάψαλμα.
48 ¿Qué hombre vivirá y no verá muerte? ¿librarás su vida del poder del sepulcro? (Selah.)
48 What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.
49 Που είναι τα ελέη σου τα αρχαία, Κύριε, τα οποία ώμοσας προς τον Δαβίδ εν τη αληθεία σου;
49 Señor, ¿dónde están tus antiguas misericordias, que juraste á David por tu verdad?
49 Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore to David in your faithfulness?
50 Μνήσθητι, Κύριε, του ονειδισμού των δούλων σου, τον οποίον φέρω εν τω κόλπω μου υπό τοσούτων πολυαρίθμων λαών·
50 Señor, acuérdate del oprobio de tus siervos; [oprobio que] llevo yo en mi seno de muchos pueblos.
50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,
51 με τον οποίον ωνείδισαν οι εχθροί σου, Κύριε· με τον οποίον ωνείδισαν τα ίχνη του χριστού σου.
51 Porque tus enemigos, oh Jehová, han deshonrado, porque tus enemigos han deshonrado los pasos de tu ungido.
51 With which your enemies have mocked, Yahweh, with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.
52 Ευλογητός Κύριος εις τον αιώνα. Αμήν, και αμήν.
52 Bendito Jehová para siempre. Amén, y Amén.
52 Blessed be Yahweh forever more. Amen, and Amen.

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).
The Title of this eighty-seventh Psalm contains a fresh subject for enquiry: the words occurring here, "for Melech to respond," being nowhere else found.
