For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth.

¹

Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁγίων μεμακρυμμένου· τῷ Δαυΐδ εἰς στηλογραφίαν, ὁπότε ἐκράτησαν αὐτὸν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐν Γέθ.

²

Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.

²

ΕΛΕΗΣΟΝ με, ὁ Θεός, ὅτι κατεπάτησέ με ἄνθρωπος, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν πολεμῶν ἔθλιψέ με.

³

Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.

³

κατεπάτησάν με οἱ ἐχθροί μου ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν, ὅτι πολλοὶ οἱ πολεμοῦντες με ἀπὸ ὕψους.

⁴

They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee.

⁴

ἡμέρας οὐ φοβηθήσομαι, ἐγὼ δὲ ἐλπιῶ ἐπὶ σέ.

⁵

In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.

⁵

ἐν τῷ Θεῷ ἐπαινέσω τοὺς λόγους μου, ἐπὶ τῷ Θεῷ ἤλπισα, οὐ φοβηθήσομαι τί ποιήσει μοι σάρξ.

⁶

All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices are against me for evil.

⁶

ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν τοὺς λόγους μου ἐβδελύσσοντο, κατ᾿ ἐμοῦ πάντες οἱ διαλογισμοὶ αὐτῶν εἰς κακόν.

⁷

They will dwell near and hide themselves; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.

⁷

παροικήσουσι καὶ κατακρύψουσιν· αὐτοὶ τὴν πτέρναν μου φυλάξουσι, καθάπερ ὑπέμειναν τῇ ψυχῇ μου.

⁸

Thou wilt on no account save them; thou wilt bring down the people in wrath.

⁸

ὑπὲρ τοῦ μηθενὸς σώσεις αὐτούς, ἐν ὀργῇ λαοὺς κατάξεις. ὁ Θεός,

⁹

O God, I have declared my life to thee; thou hast set my tears before thee, even according to thy promise.

⁹

τὴν ζωήν μου ἐξήγγειλά σοι, ἔθου τὰ δάκρυά μου ἐνώπιόν σου ὡς καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐπαγγελίᾳ σου.

¹⁰

Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon thee; behold, I know that thou art my God.

¹⁰

ἐπιστρέψουσιν οἱ ἐχθροί μου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπικαλέσωμαί σε· ἰδοὺ ἔγνων ὅτι Θεός μου εἶ σύ.

¹¹

In God will I praise his word; in the Lord will I praise his saying.

¹¹

ἐπὶ τῷ Θεῷ αἰνέσω ρῆμα, ἐπὶ τῷ Κυρίῳ αἰνέσω λόγον.

¹²

I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.

¹²

ἐπὶ τῷ Θεῷ ἤλπισα, οὐ φοβηθήσομαι τί ποιήσει μοι ἄνθρωπος.

¹³

The vows of thy praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.

¹³

ἐν ἐμοί, ὁ Θεός, εὐχαί, ἃς ἀποδώσω αἰνέσεώς σου,

¹⁴

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.

¹⁴

ὅτι ἐρρύσω τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ θανάτου καὶ τοὺς πόδας μου ἐξ ὀλισθήματος· εὐαρεστήσω ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ἐν φωτὶ ζώντων.
