Ps. 51[52].8, paraphrased.
The Gk. implies either "holy things " (i.e., the apparatus of worship in the tabernacle) or "holy people ."
NETS: "I hoped."
Gk γεώργιον.
Gk. Ἰουδαίωνπαῖδες (lit., "children of the Jews / Judaeans").
Gk. τὸ θεοσεβὲς πολίτευμα.
Gk. φιλανθρωπία (lit., "love of human beings"). The same Greek word appears at the next instance of "compassion" in the translation as well.
Migne's Greek text reads ἀποκταλῆναι; ἀποκταθῆναι ("to be killed") is suggested in a footnote. The translation reads eradicari .
Gk. ὁ τῶν ὅλων σοφός γεωργός.
Ps. 51[52].11[9]. NETS: "I will acknowledge you forever, because of what you did." The Gk. verb ἐποίησας can mean "you did," or "you made"—Eusebius picks up the idea of "making" in the following sentence.
Gk. χάρις ; alternatively, "beauty" or "kindness"—both relevant connotations in this context.
Ps. 51[52].11[9]. NETS: "I will wait for your name," with a different pronoun ("your" rather than "his") in the Greek. But Eusebius' subsequent citation of the same phrase has "your," so perhaps this should be corrected to conform with it. On the other hand, as Eusebius slips from paraphrase to citation and back again, he equally seems to slip between 1, 2 and 3 person references with disconcerting freedom.
Gk. χρηστός , which by Eusebius' time would have sounded identical to Χριστός .
Ps. 51[52].11[9]. NETS: "your devout" rather than "your holy ones."
