A Psalm of David for remembrance concerning the Sabbath-day.

¹

Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ· εἰς ἀνάμνησιν περὶ τοῦ σαββάτου.

²

O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath, neither chasten me in thine anger.

²

ΚΥΡΙΕ, μὴ τῷ θυμῷ σου ἐλέγξῃς με, μηδὲ τῇ ὀργῇ σου παιδεύσῃς με.

³

For thy weapons are fixed in me, and thou hast pressed thy hand heavily upon me.

³

ὅτι τὰ βέλη σου ἐνεπάγησάν μοι, καὶ ἐπεστήριξας ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ τὴν χεῖρά σου·

⁴

For there is no health in my flesh because of thine anger; there is no peace to my bones because of my sins.

⁴

οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς ὀργῆς σου, οὐκ ἔστιν εἰρήνη ἐν τοῖς ὀστέοις μου ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου.

⁵

For my transgressions have gone over mine head: they have pressed heavily upon me like a weighty burden.

⁵

ὅτι αἱ ἀνομίαι μου ὑπερῇραν τὴν κεφαλήν μου, ὡσεὶ φορτίον βαρὺ ἐβαρύνθησαν ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ.

⁶

My bruises have become noisome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.

⁶

προσώζεσαν καὶ ἐσάπησαν οἱ μώλωπές μου ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς ἀφροσύνης μου·

⁷

I have been wretched and bowed down continually: I went with a mourning countenance all the day.

⁷

ἐταλαιπώρησα καὶ κατεκάμφθην ἕως τέλους, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν σκυθρωπάζων ἐπορευόμην.

⁸

For my soul is filled with mockings; and there is no health in my flesh.

⁸

ὅτι αἱ ψόαι μου ἐπλήσθησαν ἐμπαιγμάτων, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου·

⁹

I have been afflicted and brought down exceedingly: I have roared for the groaning of my heart.

⁹

ἐκακώθην καὶ ἐταπεινώθην ἕως σφόδρα, ὠρυόμην ἀπὸ στεναγμοῦ τῆς καρδίας μου.

¹⁰

But all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hidden from thee.

¹⁰

Κύριε, ἐναντίον σου πᾶσα ἡ ἐπιθυμία μου, καὶ ὁ στεναγμός μου ἀπὸ σοῦ οὐκ ἀπεκρύβη.

¹¹

My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me; and the light of mine eyes is not with me.

¹¹

ἡ καρδία μου ἐταράχθη, ἐγκατέλιπέ με ἡ ἰσχύς μου, καὶ τὸ φῶς τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου, καὶ αὐτὸ οὐκ ἔστι μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ.

¹²

My friends and my neighbours drew near before me, and stood still; and my nearest of kin stood afar off.

¹²

οἱ φίλοι μου καὶ οἱ πλησίον μου ἐξ ἐναντίας μου ἤγγισαν καὶ ἔστησαν, καὶ οἱ ἔγγιστά μου ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἔστησαν·

¹³

While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: and they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, and devised deceits all the day.

¹³

καὶ ἐξεβιάζοντο οἱ ζητοῦντες τὴν ψυχήν μου, καὶ οἱ ζητοῦντες τὰ κακά μοι ἐλάλησαν ματαιότητας, καὶ δολιότητας ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐμελέτησαν.

¹⁴

But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and was as a dumb man not opening his mouth.

¹⁴

ἐγὼ δὲ ὡσεὶ κωφὸς οὐκ ἤκουον καὶ ὡσεὶ ἄλαλος οὐκ ἀνοίγων τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ·

¹⁵

And I was as a man that hears not, and who has no reproofs in his mouth.

¹⁵

καὶ ἐγενόμην ὡσεὶ ἄνθρωπος οὐκ ἀκούων καὶ οὐκ ἔχων ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ ἐλεγμούς.

¹⁶

For I hoped in thee, O Lord: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

¹⁶

ὅτι ἐπὶ σοί, Κύριε, ἤλπισα· σὺ εἰκακούσῃ, Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου.

¹⁷

For I said, Lest mine enemies rejoice against me: for when my feet were moved, they spoke boastingly against me.

¹⁷

ὅτι εἶπα· μήποτε ἐπιχαρῶσί μοι οἱ ἐχθροί μου· καὶ ἐν τῷ σαλευθῆναι πόδας μου ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ἐμεγαλοῤῥημόνησαν.

¹⁸

For I am ready for plagues, and my grief is continually before me.

¹⁸

ὅτι ἐγὼ εἰς μάστιγας ἕτοιμος, καὶ ἡ ἀλγηδών μου ἐνώπιόν μού ἐστι διαπαντός.

¹⁹

For I will declare mine iniquity, and be distressed for my sin.

¹⁹

ὅτι τὴν ἀνομίαν μου ἐγὼ ἀναγγελῶ καὶ μεριμνήσω ὑπὲρ τῆς ἁμαρτίας μου.

²⁰

But mine enemies live, and are mightier than I: and they that hate me unjustly are multiplied.

²⁰

οἱ δὲ ἐχθροί μου ζῶσι καὶ κεκραταίωνται ὑπὲρ ἐμέ, καὶ ἐπληθύνθησαν οἱ μισοῦντές με ἀδίκως·

²¹

They that reward evil for good slandered me; because I followed righteousness.

²¹

οἱ ἀνταποδιδόντες μοι κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν ἐνδιέβαλλόν με, ἐπεὶ κατεδίωκον ἀγαθωσύνην.

²²

Forsake me not, O Lord my God: depart not from me.

²²

μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς με, Κύριε· ὁ Θεός μου, μὴ ἀποστῇς ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ·

²³

Draw nigh to my help, O Lord of my salvation.

²³

πρόσχες εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν μου, Κύριε τῆς σωτηρίας μου.
