Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And David sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
1ΚΑΙ ἐλάλησε Δαυὶδ τῷ Κυρίῳ τοὺς λόγους τῆς ᾠδῆς ταύτης ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐξείλετο αὐτὸν Κύριος ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς Σαούλ,
2He said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.
2καὶ εἶπεν· Κύριε, πέτρα μου καὶ ὀχύρωμά μου καὶ ἐξαιρούμενός με ἐμοί,
3My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation. My stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior, You save me from violence.
3ὁ Θεός μου φύλαξ μου ἔσται μοι, πεποιθὼς ἔσομαι ἐπ' αὐτῷ, ὑπερασπιστής μου καὶ κέρας σωτηρίας μου, ἀντιλήπτωρ μου καὶ καταφυγή μου σωτηρίας μου, ἐξ ἀδίκου σώσεις με.
4I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
4αἰνετὸν ἐπικαλέσομαι Κύριον καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου σωθήσομαι.
5For the waves of death engulfed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.
5ὅτι περιέσχον με συντριμμοὶ θανάτου, χείμαρροι ἀνομίας ἐθάμβησάν με·
6The cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.
6ὠδῖνες θανάτου ἐκύκλωσάν με, προέφθασάν με σκληρότητες θανάτου.
7In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried out to my God. And from His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help reached His ears.
7ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαί με ἐπικαλέσομαι τὸν Κύριον καὶ πρὸς τὸν Θεόν μου βοήσομαι· καὶ ἐπακούσεται ἐκ ναοῦ αὐτοῦ φωνῆς μου, καὶ ἡ κραυγή μου ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν αὐτοῦ.
8Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.
8καὶ ἐταράχθη καὶ ἐσείσθη ἡ γῆ, καὶ τὰ θεμέλια τοῦ οὐρανοῦ συνεταράχθησαν καὶ ἐσπαράχθησαν, ὅτι ἐθυμώθη Κύριος αὐτοῖς.
9Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.
9ἀνέβη καπνὸς ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πῦρ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ κατέδεται, ἄνθρακες ἐξεκαύθησαν ἀπ' αὐτοῦ.
10He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.
10καὶ ἔκλινεν οὐρανοὺς καὶ κατέβη, καὶ γνόφος ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ.
11He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.
11καὶ ἐπεκάθισεν ἐπὶ Χερουβὶμ καὶ ἐπετάσθη καὶ ὤφθη ἐπὶ πτερύγων ἀνέμου.
12He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds.
12καὶ ἔθετο σκότος ἀποκρυφὴν αὐτοῦ κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ, ἡ σκηνὴ αὐτοῦ σκότος ὑδάτων· ἐπάχυνεν ἐν νεφέλαις ἀέρος.
13From the brightness of His presence coals of fire blazed forth.
13ἀπὸ τοῦ φέγγους ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ἐξεκαύθησαν ἄνθρακες πυρός.
14The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.
14ἐβρόντησεν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ Κύριος, καὶ ὁ ὕψιστος ἔδωκε φωνὴν αὐτοῦ
15He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.
15καὶ ἀπέστειλε βέλη καὶ ἐσκόρπισεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἤστραψεν ἀστραπὴν καὶ ἐξέστησεν αὐτούς.
16The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
16καὶ ὤφθησαν ἀφέσεις θαλάσσης, καὶ ἀπεκαλύφθη θεμέλια τῆς οἰκουμένης ἐν τῇ ἐπιτιμήσει Κυρίου, ἀπὸ πνοῆς πνεύματος θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ.
17He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.
17ἀπέστειλεν ἐξ ὕψους καὶ ἔλαβέ με, εἵλκυσέ με ἐξ ὑδάτων πολλῶν·
18He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.
18ἐρρύσατό με ἐξ ἐχθρῶν μου ἰσχύος, ἐκ τῶν μισούντων με, ὅτι ἐκραταιώθησαν ὑπὲρ ἐμέ.
19They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.
19προέφθασάν με ἡμέραι θλίψεώς μου καὶ ἐγένετο Κύριος ἐπιστήριγμά μου
20He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.
20καὶ ἐξήγαγέ με εἰς πλατυσμὸν καὶ ἐξείλετό με, ὅτι ηὐδόκησεν ἐν ἐμοί.
21The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.
21καὶ ἀνταπέδωκέ μοι Κύριος κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου, καὶ κατὰ τὴν καθαριότητα τῶν χειρῶν μου ἀνταπέδωκέ μοι.
22For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22ὅτι ἐφύλαξα ὁδοὺς Κυρίου καὶ οὐκ ἠσέβησα ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ μου,
23For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.
23ὅτι πάντα τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ κατεναντίον μου, καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἀπέστην ἀπ' αὐτῶν.
24And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.
24καὶ ἔσομαι ἄμωμος αὐτῷ καὶ προφυλάξομαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας μου.
25So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His sight.
25καὶ ἀποδώσει μοι Κύριος κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου καὶ κατὰ τὴν καθαριότητα τῶν χειρῶν μου ἐνώπιον τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ.
26To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
26μετὰ ὁσίου ὁσιωθήσῃ καὶ μετὰ ἀνδρὸς τελείου τελειωθήσῃ
27to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
27καὶ μετὰ ἐκλεκτοῦ ἐκλεκτὸς ἔσῃ καὶ μετὰ στρεβλοῦ στρεβλωθήσῃ.
28You save an afflicted people, but Your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.
28καὶ τὸν λαὸν τὸν πτωχὸν σώσεις καὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐπὶ μετεώρων ταπεινώσεις.
29For You, O LORD, are my lamp; the LORD lights up my darkness.
29ὅτι σὺ ὁ λύχνος μου, Κύριε, καὶ Κύριος ἐκλάμψει μοι τὸ σκότος μου.
30For in You I can charge an army; with my God I can scale a wall.
30ὅτι ἐν σοὶ δραμοῦμαι μονόζωνος καὶ ἐν τῷ Θεῷ μου ὑπερβήσομαι τεῖχος.
31As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
31ὁ ἰσχυρός, ἄμωμος ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτοῦ, τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου κραταιόν, πεπυρωμένον, ὑπερασπιστής ἐστι πᾶσι τοῖς πεποιθόσιν ἐπ' αὐτόν.
32For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
32τίς ἰσχυρὸς πλὴν Κυρίου; καὶ τίς κτίστης ἔσται πλὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν;
33God is my strong fortress and He makes my way clear.
33ὁ ἰσχυρὸς ὁ κραταιῶν με δυνάμει, καὶ ἐξετίναξεν ἄμωμον τὴν ὁδόν μου·
34He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.
34τιθεὶς τοὺς πόδας μου ὡς ἐλάφων καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ὕψη ἱστῶν με·
35He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35διδάσκων χεῖράς μου εἰς πόλεμον καὶ κατάξας τόξον χαλκοῦν ἐν βραχίονί μου.
36You have given me Your shield of salvation, and Your gentleness exalts me.
36καὶ ἔδωκάς μοι ὑπερασπισμὸν σωτηρίας μου, καὶ ἡ ὑπακοή σου ἐπλήθυνέ με
37You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.
37εἰς πλατυσμὸν εἰς τὰ διαβήματά μου ὑποκάτω μου, καὶ οὐκ ἐσαλεύθησαν τὰ σκέλη μου.
38I pursued my enemies and destroyed them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.
38διώξω ἐχθρούς μου καὶ ἀφανιῶ αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐκ ἀναστρέψω ἕως ἂν συντελέσω αὐτούς·
39I devoured and crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.
39καὶ θλάσω αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐκ ἀναστήσονται καὶ πεσοῦνται ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας μου.
40You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.
40καὶ ἐνισχύσεις με δυνάμει εἰς πόλεμον, κάμψεις τοὺς ἐπιστανομένους μοι ὑποκάτω μου·
41You have made my enemies retreat before me; I put an end to those who hated me.
41καὶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἔδωκάς μοι νῶτον, τοὺς μισοῦντάς με, καὶ ἐθανάτωσας αὐτούς.
42They looked, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but He did not answer.
42βοήσονται, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι βοηθός, πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ οὐκ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῶν.
43I ground them as the dust of the earth; I crushed and trampled them like mud in the streets.
43καὶ ἐλέανα αὐτοὺς ὡς χοῦν γῆς, ὡς πηλὸν ἐξόδων ἐλέπτυνα αὐτούς.
44You have delivered me from the strife of my people; You have preserved me as the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.
44καὶ ρύσῃ με ἐκ μάχης λαῶν, φυλάξεις με εἰς κεφαλὴν ἐθνῶν. λαός, ὃν οὐκ ἔγνω, ἐδούλευσάν μοι,
45Foreigners cower before me; when they hear me, they obey me.
45υἱοὶ ἀλλότριοι ἐψεύσαντό μοι, εἰς ἀκοὴν ὠτίου ἤκουσάν μου·
46Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.
46υἱοὶ ἀλλότριοι ἀπορριφήσονται καὶ σφαλοῦσιν ἐκ τῶν συγκλεισμῶν αὐτῶν.
47The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted—
47ζῇ Κύριος, καὶ εὐλογητὸς ὁ φύλαξ μου, καὶ ὑψωθήσεται ὁ Θεός μου, ὁ φύλαξ τῆς σωτηρίας μου.
48the God who avenges me and brings down nations beneath me,
48ἰσχυρὸς Κύριος ὁ διδοὺς ἐκδικήσεις ἐμοί, παιδεύων λαοὺς ὑποκάτω μου
49who frees me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.
49καὶ ἐξάγων με ἐξ ἐχθρῶν μου, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐπεγειρομένων μοι ὑψώσεις με, ἐξ ἀνδρὸς ἀδικημάτων ρύσῃ με.
50Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.
50διὰ τοῦτο ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι, Κύριε, ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ψαλῶ,
51Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.”
51μεγαλύνων τὰς σωτηρίας βασιλέως αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιῶν ἔλεος τῷ χριστῷ αὐτοῦ, τῷ Δαυὶδ καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος.
