For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph.

¹

Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ ᾿Ιδιθούν· ψαλμὸς τῷ ᾿Ασάφ.

²

I cried to the Lord with my voice, yea, my voice was addressed to God; and he gave heed to me.

²

ΦΩΝῌ μου πρὸς Κύριον ἐκέκραξα, φωνῇ μου πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, καὶ προσέσχε μοι.

³

In the day of mine affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; even with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted.

³

ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεώς μου τὸν Θεὸν ἐξεζήτησα, ταῖς χερσί μου νυκτὸς ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἠπατήθην· ἀπηνήνατο παρακληθῆναι ἡ ψυχή μου.

⁴

I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause.

⁴

ἐμνήσθην τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ εὐφράνθην· ἠδολέσχησα, καὶ ὠλιγοψύχησε τὸ πνεῦμά μου. (διάψαλμα).

⁵

All mine enemies set a watch against me: I was troubled, and spoke not.

⁵

προκατελάβοντο φυλακὰς οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου, ἐταράχθην καὶ οὐκ ἐλάλησα.

⁶

I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.

⁶

διελογισάμην ἡμέρας ἀρχαίας, καὶ ἔτη αἰώνια ἐμνήσθην καὶ ἐμελέτησα·

⁷

And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, saying,

⁷

νυκτὸς μετὰ τῆς καρδίας μου ἠδολέσχουν, καὶ ἔσκαλλε τὸ πνεῦμά μου.

⁸

Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?

⁸

μὴ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας ἀπώσεται Κύριος καὶ οὐ προσθήσει τοῦ εὐδοκῆσαι ἔτι;

⁹

Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?

⁹

ἢ εἰς τέλος τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἀποκόψει; συνετέλεσε ρῆμα ἀπὸ γενεᾶς εἰς γενεάν;

¹⁰

Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? Pause.

¹⁰

μὴ ἐπιλήσεται τοῦ οἰκτειρῆσαι ὁ Θεός; ἢ συνέξει ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ τοὺς οἰκτιρμοὺς αὐτοῦ; (διάψαλμα).

¹¹

And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.

¹¹

καὶ εἶπα· νῦν ἠρξάμην, αὕτη ἡ ἀλλοίωσις τῆς δεξιᾶς τοῦ ῾Υψίστου.

¹²

I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember thy wonders from the beginning.

¹²

ἐμνήσθην τῶν ἔργων Κυρίου, ὅτι μνησθήσομαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς τῶν θαυμασίων σου

¹³

And I will meditate on all thy works, and will consider thy doings.

¹³

καὶ μελετήσω ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔργοις σου καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασί σου ἀδολεσχήσω.

¹⁴

O God, thy way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?

¹⁴

ὁ Θεός, ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ ἡ ὁδός σου· τίς Θεὸς μέγας ὡς ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν;

¹⁵

Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast made known thy power among the nations.

¹⁵

σὺ εἶ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ποιῶν θαυμάσια, ἐγνώρισας ἐν τοῖς λαοῖς τὴν δύναμίν σου·

¹⁶

Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Pause.

¹⁶

ἐλυτρώσω ἐν τῷ βραχίονί σου τὸν λαόν σου, τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Ιακὼβ καὶ ᾿Ιωσήφ. (διάψαλμα).

¹⁷

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee, and feared; and the depths were troubled.

¹⁷

εἴδοσάν σε ὕδατα, ὁ Θεός, εἴδοσάν σε ὕδατα καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν, ἐταράχθησαν ἄβυσσοι,

¹⁸

There was an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for thine arrows went abroad.

¹⁸

πλῆθος ἤχους ὑδάτων, φωνὴν ἔδωκαν αἱ νεφέλαι, καὶ γὰρ τὰ βέλη σου διαπορεύονται·

¹⁹

The voice of thy thunder was abroad, and around thy lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled and quaked.

¹⁹

φωνὴ τῆς βροντῆς σου ἐν τῷ τροχῷ, ἔφαναν αἱ ἀστραπαί σου τῇ οἰκουμένῃ, ἐσαλεύθη καὶ ἔντρομος ἐγενήθη ἡ γῆ.

²⁰

Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters, and thy footsteps cannot be known.

²⁰

ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ αἱ ὁδοί σου, καὶ αἱ τρίβοι σου ἐν ὕδασι πολλοῖς, καὶ τὰ ἴχνη σου οὐ γνωσθήσονται.

²¹

Thou didst guide thy people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

²¹

ὡδήγησας ὡς πρόβατα τὸν λαόν σου ἐν χειρὶ Μωϋσῆ καὶ ᾿Ααρών.
