1.1 Incipit AUG. Liber iste intitulatur apud Hebræos Liber hymnorum, hac ratione, quia hymnus est ubi habentur verba et laus cum cantico, quod in psalmis invenitur. Intitulatur etiam, secundum quosdam, liber Soliloquiorum: quod ideo videtur fieri, quia illud quod aliquis secum rimatur, et a nullo discit, nisi a veritate sibi interius præsidente, soliloquium dicitur, verbi gratia, quemadmodum beatus Augustinus secum de natura animæ, et de natura Dei investigavit, eodem modo potest dici Propheta secum investigasse de incarnatione Filii Dei, et de reparatione humani generis. Rex David et propheta, cum prospere regnaret, volens cultum Dei magnificare, cum arcam a Philisthæis redditam, longo tempore post incertis sedibus vagantem, tandem in Jerusalem reduceret, nudus cum cithara præcedebat II Reg. 6.: sed et quatuor millia virorum elegerat, qui, non solum voce, sed etiam instrumentis musicis, psalmos canerent: quibus præposuit quatuor, Asaph, Idithun, Eman, Ethan, vel filios Core, qui a patris scelere vel sacrilegio degenerantes quem ignis consumpserat Num. 16., in cultu Dei devotissimi perstiterunt. HIERON. Psalterium est quoddam musicum instrumentum in modum litteræ compositum: et ab eo musico instrumento per quod modulatum fuit præsens opus nomen sibi sumpsit. Psalterium apud Hebræos vocatur nebel, apud Græcos,, apud Latinos vero organum. Multi dicunt David non fecisse omnes psalmos, eo quod quidam ex ipsis intitulantur in persona aliorum. Sed, ut dicit beatus Hieronymus, non sunt audiendi in hoc. Nam David composuit omnes psalmos: modo etiam apposuit, in quo multos auxiliatores habuit, quibus præfecit quatuor, videlicet Eman, Ethan, Asaph et Idithun. Divino consilio hoc fuit factum, ut psalmi intitularentur in personis aliorum, vel propter interpretationem nominum tantum, vel propter negotium, vel propter utrumque. Propter interpretationem nominum tantum, ut in persona Idithun; propter negotium, ut in persona Aggæi et Zachariæ; propter utrumque, ut in persona Salomonis; Idithun, Asaph, filii Core et cæteri hujusmodi, non fuerunt auctores psalmorum, sed præpositi artificibus qui psalmos personabant tribus modis: vel humana voce, vel musicis instrumentis, vel communiter utroque modo. Et hoc dupliciter, vel post vocem instrumento, vel post instrumentum voce: unde nomina illorum ut honorem de ministerio sumerent, titulis inseruntur maxime pro significatione rerum. Psalmus vero est instrumenti sonus, canticum humanæ vocis cantus in laudem Dei; psalmi canticum, cum post instrumentum vox, psalmus cantici, cum post vocem instrumentum. CASS. Solet quæri cur præ aliis Scripturis psalmi in Ecclesia legantur? Quod ideo est quia antiquitus apud Hebræos mos iste in templo Dei erat. Vel, quia psalmi plus mysteriorum quam cæteræ Scripturæ continent, et breviter multa dicunt, in quibus omnis lex et prophetæ et Evangelium constat. CASS. Prophetia est inspiratio vel revelatio divina, quæ eventus rerum vel per facta, vel per dicta immobili veritate pronuntiat, unde prophetia visio, propheta videns. Multis autem modis hæc gratia data est: vel per operationes hominum, ut fuit arca Nœ et sacrificium Abrahæ, et transitus maris Rubri; vel per nativitates, ut Esau et Jacob, qui futura significabant; vel per loquentes angelos, sicut locuti sunt Abrahæ, Lot et aliis; vel per visiones, sicut Isaiæ et Ezechieli, et cæteris; vel per somnia, sicut Salomoni, Joseph et Danieli; vel per nubem et vocem de cœlo, ut Moysi; vel adhuc aliis modis. David autem nullo horum, sed cœlesti aspiratione intus edoctus, Spiritu in eo loquente, completus est, ut in I Reg.: Directus est Spiritus Domini in David I Reg. 16.. Et Dominus: Si David in spiritu vocat eum Dominum, quomodo filius ejus est? Matth. 22. Spiritus autem sanctus sic datus est prophetis, ut aliquando pro peccatis recederet et placatus rediret; et sicut Petrus ait: Non voluntate humana allata est aliquando prophetia, sed, Spiritu sancto inspirati, locuti sunt sancti homines Dei II Pet. 1.. Non sunt autem illi a munere prophetiæ alieni, quibus data est facultas intelligendi vel interpretandi Scripturas. HIERON. Multa genera sunt christorum: patriarchæ dicti sunt christi, ut: Nolite tangere christos meos Psal. 104.; in Parabolis, dicuntur christi omnes qui de Ægypto egressi sunt. Chrisma in Exodo fit, unde sacerdotes uncti; est aliud unguentum, quo reges inunguntur; sed hoc duobus modis, quia si David est et Salomon, id est, forti manu et pacificus, ungitur cornu; si Jehu et Azahel, lenticula, quod est vas fictile. Sed et Cyrus, rex Persarum et Medorum, qui Isræl relaxavit, christus est, secundum illud: Hæc dicit Dominus christo meo Cyro Isa. 45., quod non sinunt sequentia de Salvatore accipi, ut quidam putant. Est unguentum propheticum, quo præcipitur Eliæ ut ungat Elisæum in prophetam III Reg. 19.; super omnia est unguentum spirituale, quod dicitur oleum exsultationis, quo Christus unctus est præ participibus, qui habent chrisma baptismi. Quod si perdat quis, non desperet; quia de separando chrismate scribitur in Levitico Lev. 13., quod cum lepra alicujus fuerit mundata, mittat ei sacerdos oleum in manu sinistra, et cætera quæ ibi dicuntur, et ipse vocetur christus Dei. Hoc autem restat quod idem homo frequenter ungitur, ne sit occasio ruinæ negligenti. Sufficit enim leproso ut, post primum unguentum perditum, ungatur secundo; sed ille sæpe ungitur qui semper proficit: et, de oleo leprosi, venit ad unguentum populi; inde ad sacerdotale; de quo ad chrisma pontificis; a pontifice ad regem; a rege ad patriarchas; a patriarchis ad Christum. CASS. Sicut prophetia fit diversis modis, ita et diversis temporibus. Est igitur alia de præsenti, ut Elisabeth: Unde mihi hoc, ut veniat mater Domini? etc. Luc. 1. De præterito, ut Moyses: In principio, creavit Deus cœlum et terram Gen. 1.. De futuro, ut: Ecce Virgo concipiet, etc. Isa. 7.. Item prophetia alia est secundum præscientiam Dei, quam necesse est omnibus modis impleri, ut: Ecce Virgo concipiet, etc. Alia secundum comminationem, ut: Quadraginta dies, et Ninive subvertetur Jonæ 3.. Notandum igitur quod propheta aliquando loquitur indiscrete de futuris quasi de præsentibus; aliquando de præteritis, aliquando etiam proprie de futuris: quod ideo fit, quoniam omnia dictante Spiritu sancto dicit, cui sunt omnia nota, sive præterita, sive futura, tanquam præsentia. REMIG. Liber iste ex centum quinquaginta psalmis, non sine altioris mysterii ratione, consistit. Hic enim numerus mysteriis celeberrimus. Constat enim ex octogenario et septuagenario, quibus ex octonario et septenario principium et significatio est. Octonarius enim octavam resurrectionem significat: quia cum sex sint ætates viventium, septima morientium, octava resurgentium erit. Per septenarium vero, hujus vitæ tempus significatur, quod septem dierum repetitione agitur. Recte ergo tali psalmorum numero liber iste compositus est, quia sic in hujus vitæ septenario operari ac vivere nos docet, ut in octava resurrectionis stolam gloriæ consequamur. Vel ideo quia per octonarium Novum Testamentum significatur: octoadi enim patres Novi Testamenti deserviunt, observantes diem octavam resurrectionis Christi, id est, Dominicam, octavas sanctorum, exspectantes octavam resurrectionis mortuorum. Per septenarium vero Vetus Testamentum, quia hebdomadi, id est septenario, patres Veteris Testamenti servierunt, observantes septimum diem, septimam septimanam, septimum annum et quinquagesimum, qui septenis annorum hebdomadibus texitur, id est jubilæum: unde Salomon: Da partes septem, necnon et octo Eccl. 11.. Bene igitur hoc numero psalmorum liber iste editus est, cujus partes utriusque Testamenti doctrinam et mandata continent. AUG. Item per tres quinquagenas triplex fit psalmorum distinctio, propter tres status Christianæ religionis significandos: primus pœnitentiæ, in qua et prima psalmorum quinquagena terminatur, scilicet: Miserere mei Deus; secundus justitiæ, in qua et secunda quinquagena: Misericordiam et judicium cantabo tibi; tertius status vitæ æternæ, in cujus laudem tertia quinquagena finitur, scilicet: Omnis spiritus laudet Dominum. ID. Unus est liber Psalmorum, non quinque, ut in Actibus apostolorum legitur: Sicut scriptum est in libro Psalmorum Act. 1.. Hieronymus tamen dicit quinque libros, id est, quinque distinctiones quæ fiunt per fiat, fiat. Ordo psalmorum ab ordine historiæ discordat, quia ante peccavit David cum uxore Uriæ, et de pœnitentia cecinit: Miserere mei, Deus, quam filius ejus eum persequeretur et cecinerit: Domine, quid multiplicati; sed ab Esdra propheta instinctu divino ita ordinari creduntur. Materia est integer Christus, sponsus et sponsa. Intentio, homines in Adam deformatos Christo novo homini conformare. Modus tractandi: Quandoque agit de Christo, secundum quod caput est, aliquando secundum corpus, aliquando secundum utrumque. Secundum quod caput, tripliciter: quia vel secundum divinitatem, ut: Tecum principium, etc.; aliquando secundum humanitatem, ut: Ego dormivi, etc., aliquando per transsumptionem, ut quando utitur voce membrorum, sicut ibi: Longe a salute mea, etc. Item de Ecclesia tribus modis: aliquando secundum perfectos, aliquando secundum imperfectos, aliquando secundum malos: qui sunt in Ecclesia corpore, non mente; numero, non merito; nomine, non numine. Beatus vir qui non abiit, etc. AUG., Enarr. in Psal., tom. 3. Ordo, abiit Adam cum a Deo recessit; stetit, cum delectatus est peccato; sedit, cum in superbia confirmatus redire non potuit, nisi per istum liberatus, qui nil horum habuit. Abiit Adam cum persuasioni diaboli consensit; stetit, dum pomum comedit; sedit, dum se excusavit: Mulier quam dedisti mihi me seduxit. Gen. 3.. Ad similitudinem exsulantium, qui dum sunt in via facilius revocantur, dum jam stant difficilius: demum difficillime, dum ibi magistri et domini effecti sunt. REMI. Peccatur cogitatione, actu et verbis docendo. CASS. Impius in Deum, peccator in se, pestilens in proximum. In cathedra dans exemplum peccandi. CASS.

David however nullo horum, but cœlesti aspiratione intus edoctus, Spiritu in eo loquente, completus it_is, as in I Reg.: Directus it_is Spiritus Master in David I Reg. 16.. And Master: When/But_if David in spiritu vocat him Dominum, quomodo filius his est? Matth. 22. Spiritus however sanctus so datus it_is prophetis, as aliquando pro sins recederet and placatus rediret; and like Petrus ait: Non voluntate humana allata it_is aliquando prophetia, sed, Spiritu sancto inspirati, locuti are sancti homines God II Pet. 1..

BrLXX ΜΑΚΑΡΙΟΣ ἀνὴρ, ὃς οὐκ ἐπορεύθη ἐν βουλῇ ἀσεβῶν, καὶ ἐν ὁδῷ ἁμαρτωλῶν· οὐκ ἔστη, καὶ ἐπὶ καθέδρᾳ λοιμῶν οὐκ ἐκάθισεν.

(Some words not found in UHB: blessed the=man which/who not walk in/on/at/with,advice wicked and,in/on/at/with,way sinners not stand and,in/on/at/with,seat mockers not sit )

The man described as happy is someone that others admire and desire to be like. Happy here can be a congratulatory term. Alternate translation: “Admirable” or “Praised”

אַ֥שְֽׁרֵי־הָ⁠אִ֗ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֤ר ׀ לֹ֥א הָלַךְ֮ בַּ⁠עֲצַ֪ת רְשָׁ֫עִ֥ים וּ⁠בְ⁠דֶ֣רֶךְ חַ֭טָּאִים לֹ֥א עָמָ֑ד וּ⁠בְ⁠מוֹשַׁ֥ב לֵ֝צִ֗ים לֹ֣א יָשָֽׁב

(Some words not found in UHB: blessed the=man which/who not walk in/on/at/with,advice wicked and,in/on/at/with,way sinners not stand and,in/on/at/with,seat mockers not sit )

In some languages it may be more natural to place the declaration of the state of the man at the end of the verse after the description of the characteristics that he avoids. However, starting the psalm with the exclamation Happy was an intentional poetic decision by the author, who intended to set the mood of the psalm. Translators should consider how their language might start the psalm with the same sort of praising exclamation. Alternate translation: “The man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked ones, and stands not in the pathway with sinners, and sits not in the seat of mockers is happy.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

הָ⁠אִ֗ישׁ

the=man

The man here may refer first to the ideal Israelite king while also having a general meaning referring to a typical righteous person. If your readers would not understand the man in a general way, you may choose a term that gives a broader interpretation. One possible way to do this may be by not using a definite article. Alternate translation: “is a man” or “is the person” or “is a person”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

לֹ֥א הָלַךְ֮ בַּ⁠עֲצַ֪ת רְשָׁ֫עִ֥ים וּ⁠בְ⁠דֶ֣רֶךְ חַ֭טָּאִים לֹ֥א עָמָ֑ד וּ⁠בְ⁠מוֹשַׁ֥ב לֵ֝צִ֗ים לֹ֣א יָשָֽׁב

not walk not (Some words not found in UHB: blessed the=man which/who not walk in/on/at/with,advice wicked and,in/on/at/with,way sinners not stand and,in/on/at/with,seat mockers not sit )

It may be helpful to read these three phrases in an inverted way. That way the negative trajectory that the happy man avoids can be more clearly seen. Consider: “Unhappy is the man who walks in the advice of the wicked ones and then who stands in the pathway of sinners and then who sits in the seat of scoffers.” The meaning of each of these parts of this extended metaphor is expanded in later notes, but translators should see a trajectory of worsening character that a happy man avoids.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

לֹ֥א הָלַךְ֮ בַּ⁠עֲצַ֪ת רְשָׁ֫עִ֥ים

not walk not (Some words not found in UHB: blessed the=man which/who not walk in/on/at/with,advice wicked and,in/on/at/with,way sinners not stand and,in/on/at/with,seat mockers not sit )

Here, walks refers to a man doing the things that wicked ones suggest that he does. This is the beginning of a pattern of doing wrong. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the image clear or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “does not walk into sin that wicked people suggest” or “never does what wicked people suggest”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

וּ⁠בְ⁠דֶ֣רֶךְ חַ֭טָּאִים לֹ֥א עָמָ֑ד

and,in/on/at/with,way (Some words not found in UHB: blessed the=man which/who not walk in/on/at/with,advice wicked and,in/on/at/with,way sinners not stand and,in/on/at/with,seat mockers not sit )

Here, stands not in the pathway of sinners refers to not copying how sinners continually live their lives, that is, their sinful habits. Standing means joining with sinners. The pathway means habits or how they live. Not only does the happy man not do what the wicked say, but doing what sinners do does not become the way in which he lives his life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the image clear or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and does not stand with sinners in the path of sinning” or “and does not make sinning a habit”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

וּ⁠בְ⁠מוֹשַׁ֥ב לֵ֝צִ֗ים לֹ֣א יָשָֽׁב

(Some words not found in UHB: blessed the=man which/who not walk in/on/at/with,advice wicked and,in/on/at/with,way sinners not stand and,in/on/at/with,seat mockers not sit )

Here, sits not in the seat of scoffers means to not become like people who spend their time mocking people, things, and God. By avoiding the previous two progressions towards a sinful life, the happy man avoids this final state where he would be just like the wicked. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the image clear or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and does not sit with scoffers to join them in scoffing” or “so he never becomes like wicked mockers”
