Saints Translation: Psalms 42–72 [V1] — Volume II

Psalter Book II • Hebrew Psalms 42–72 • Greek Psalms 41–71

Saints Translation V1 · Edition and source-access date: Sep 8, 2026

Complete working translation for this volume; independently translated from the directly accessed Hebrew and Greek main texts. Critical-apparatus collation and independent specialist review have not been completed.

This is one of five documents representing the single canonical book Psalms. Completing this volume does not mean all 150 psalms are complete. Greek Psalm 151 is reserved as an explicitly supplementary section in Volume V.

Reader’s guide

Hebrew: Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, edited by Karl Elliger and Wilhelm Rudolph, fifth corrected edition prepared by Adrian Schenker (1997), main text displayed by Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft. Greek: Septuaginta, Alfred Rahlfs, second revised edition prepared by Robert Hanhart (2006), main text displayed by Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft. Each actual source URL and access scope appears in the register. Selective Rashi, patristic and apostolic reception is separately attributed; it is not critical-apparatus evidence.

Navigation follows Hebrew Psalms 42–72, corresponding to Greek Psalms 41–71. Each translation cell retains its own actual source reference, including numbered superscriptions and local clause-boundary differences. Familiar English verse numbering is not assumed. Additional Greek headings and repeated clauses are retained within their actual numbered units. Hebrew 72:20 prayers and Greek 71:20 hymns close this volume as distinct collection colophons.

Comparison key

Same — Corresponding meaning and content; equivalent idiom and YHWH/Lord alone do not create a difference.

Similar — The essentials agree, with a modest difference in expression, idiom or emphasis.

Different — A meaningful detail, participant, action or image differs without an established major change in force or consequence.

Divergent — Added, omitted or substantially rearranged material governs the comparison; historical direction and motive are not inferred.

Disparate — A major difference in meaning or consequence, including agency, assertion, theological portrayal, imagery or cumulative force; strict contradiction is not required.

Each translation cell displays its own source reference. Poetic line breaks, superscriptions and performance markers belong to the accessed text; the purple psalm titles are editorial reading aids. Category colors supplement the written labels in the notes column.

Method & Decisions

1. Independent English renderings preserve poetic line breaks, numbers, names, negatives, voices, and source-specific images.

2. Superscriptions printed by the source are translated as running source units, distinct from editorial psalm titles.

3. The fields named hebrew and greek contain English translations, not transcriptions.

4. One of the five comparison classes is assigned from actual corresponding wording; no classification quota is imposed.

5. This remains one canonical Bible book, represented by five documents.

6. Psalm 45:7 adopts Rashi’s judge interpretation of Hebrew elohim while Greek retains God, with Hebrews 1:8–9 separately verified. Neither column imports one allegorical speaker identification throughout the whole royal poem; explicit alternate readings remain visible.

7. Hebrew 54:7 uses read yashiv, 55:16 the separate read words yashi maveth, and 56:7 read yitsponu, each verified against explicit written/read displays in Chabad. Psalm 55 follows selectively read Rashi for blows, covenantal betrayal, answering supporters and curses, with alternatives noted.

8. Psalms 58–61 preserve source differences in judgment imagery, person and action. Explicit Chabad written/read checks resolve 58:8 arrows, 59:11 my love, 59:16 roaming and 60:7 answer me; no apparatus evidence is claimed.

9. BHS Psalm 67 was successfully read in full at the publisher German-interface route after the English-interface route failed; the same BHS edition footer and all eight source labels were verified. Source registers now record the actual successful publisher URL from each raw read.

10. Hebrew Psalm 66:7 follows explicitly verified read yarumu. Psalm 68:19 retains received gifts in both Psalm texts, while Ephesians 4:8 gave gifts is discussed only as reception.

11. Psalm 69:10 distinguishes Rashi’s interpretation of hostile envy over the Temple from Greek zeal; the Gospel and Pauline quotations are documented separately. The Psalm’s actual confession of folly and offenses at 69:6 is preserved in both columns.

12. Psalms 70–72 checkpoint completes the Hebrew Book II navigation scope; Greek Psalm 71:20 hymns and Hebrew Psalm 72:20 prayers remain distinct. Psalm 72 Greek royal capitalization explicitly follows the accessed Augustinian Christological reading, while the Hebrew column follows Rashi’s Solomon reading and notes his additional messianic interpretation.

13. Classification revision of 8 September 2026: added/rearranged material uses Divergent unless a major consequence is demonstrated; major changes in agency, assertion or cumulative force use Disparate; particular differences without an established major consequence use Different. Classification totals count comparison rows, not unique variants.

Term List

יהוה / κύριος → YHWH / Lord

Each source keeps its own divine designation; Hebrew Adonai is Lord and is not silently expanded to YHWH.

סֶלָה / διάψαλμα → Selah / Diapsalma

Performance terms are retained in their actual positions; precise musical execution is not asserted. A marker present in only one source is made visible.

לַמְנַצֵּחַ / εἰς τὸ τέλος → For the director / For the end

Provisional Hebrew musical direction and distinct literal Greek wording preserved. Later theological interpretations belong in attributed notes.

Open Questions

1. Independent qualified Hebrew and Greek review and full critical-apparatus work remain outstanding; all specific uncertainties below and in the comparison notes remain part of this working draft.

2. Psalm 45:9: Hebrew minni is difficult; the draft follows the actually read Rashi elliptical palaces from Me interpretation and records the alternative stringed-instrument reading, pending specialist review.

3. Psalm 48:3 / Greek 47:3: the rooting participle and its attachment remain difficult. The draft preserves the wording rather than importing Hebrew elevation or branching.

4. Psalm 49:10 / Greek 48:10: publisher main text prints ekopasen, ceased, where the accessed English Augustine quotation has labored. Verify a scanned Rahlfs–Hanhart/earlier primary edition before any correction; no manuscript conclusion follows from the difference.

5. Psalm 49:15: the Hebrew outlasting-Sheol interpretation follows directly read Rashi; alternative construals of form, Sheol and dwelling remain to be reviewed. Greek help growing old is kept distinct.

6. Psalm 55:20–22 / Greek 54:20–22: Greek repayment, plural covenant-breakers, division through anger and the heart drawing near have difficult referents. Pronouns remain unharmonized pending specialist review.

7. Psalm 56:8 / Greek 55:8: the compressed for nothing You will save them remains difficult; no unattested negative is inserted. Hebrew follows the verified Rashi expectation of escape or reward for wrongdoing.

8. Psalm 57:4–5 and 7: review the Hebrew reproaching subject, burning adversaries and the singular bowing verb; the draft retains the actual number rather than silently harmonizing Greek.

9. Psalm 58:2 and 8–10: Hebrew silence, water, snail/stillbirth/mole and thorn imagery follow directly read Rashi interpretations with alternatives acknowledged. Greek thorns understanding buckthorn and swallowing remain compressed and require qualified lexical review.

10. Psalm 59:13–14 / Greek 58:13–14: Rashi identifies trapped victims in Hebrew, whereas Greek traps the arrogant and continues with difficult consummation syntax. The supplied Hebrew poor and Greek boundary differences are expressly noted.

11. Psalm 60:6–10: review Rashi-derived trial/beauty, saving the right hand, portion and lock interpretations, as well as divine versus royal quotation boundaries; Greek sign/bow, place-names, hope and sandal remain independent.

12. Psalm 62:4: review the Hebrew murder verb vocalization and active/passive alternatives. The provisional passive is distinguished from Greek active murder; the Chabad presentation corroborates that construal without serving as the biblical translation base.

13. Psalm 63:2 and 11: Greek intense flesh-longing is elliptical; Hebrew singular object him amid plural attackers and victims remains grammatically visible.

14. Psalm 64:7–9: retain BHS tav in tamnu, not Rashi commentary tet; review completion versus concealment, cast down versus shoot, and the difficult pronoun construction of returning speech.

15. Psalm 65:1, 8, 11 and 14 / Greek 64: verify the distinctive additional Greek prophetic heading, troubling rather than stilling the sea, Hebrew companies/rest construal, and Greek rams clothing themselves; no harmonization is applied.

16. Psalm 66:17–18: review the Greek objectless lifting verb and quotation boundary; Hebrew unheeded wrongdoing follows Rashi rather than silently conforming to the alternative unheeded-prayer reading.

17. Psalm 68:13–19 / Greek 67:13–19: review the beloved king, household beauty, curdled mountains, supposing question, rare shinan and disobedient/dwelling clause. Rashi and Ephesians reception are explicitly distinct from the primary Greek syntax.

18. Psalm 68:24 and 31: Greek final from him and silver-tested people, together with Hebrew portion and hostile scattering, remain difficult and require specialist review; no unprinted source words or apparatus claims are supplied.

19. Psalm 71:19 / Greek 70:19: review the compressed Greek highest-things syntax and its continuation from the preceding righteousness phrase; no clause has been borrowed from Hebrew.

20. Psalm 72:9: the exact Hebrew tsiyyim referent remains open. Chabad’s displayed Rashi Hebrew and English glosses are inconsistent at this point; the draft provisionally uses desert-dwellers without treating that display discrepancy as textual evidence.

21. Psalm 72:15: the Hebrew divine subject of giving/praying/blessing follows explicitly attributed Rashi; review other possible pronoun subjects without erasing the Greek passive giving and plural prayer.

Review Record

Every Hebrew and Greek source label in this volume was checked against the accessed source inventory and accounted for exactly once.

Every reception identifier used in a note resolves to the source register.

English translation, source comparison and selective reception checks were performed by the translating agent; independent specialist review and apparatus collation remain outstanding.

A second agent reviewed all previously Divergent/Disparate rows against the updated reference-guide definitions. The translating agent assessed the proposals, revised governing categories and note explanations where warranted, and confirmed English translations and all source references unchanged. This was a bounded classification review, not independent linguistic or apparatus review.

Exact content readback and all-page exported-PDF inspection are recorded separately from linguistic and reception review.

The document remains a working draft with the linguistic, source-form and review limitations stated above.
