1Unto the end, for David the servant of the Lord, who spoke to the Lord the words of this canticle, in the day that the Lord delivered him from the hands of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. [2 Kings 22]
1Εἰς τὸ τέλος· τῷ παιδὶ Κυρίου τῷ Δαυΐδ, ἃ ἐλάλησεν τῷ Κυρίῳ τοὺς λόγους τῆς ᾠδῆς ταύτης ἐν ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ἐρρύσατο αὐτὸν ὁ Κύριος ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς Σαούλ,
2I will love thee, O Lord, my strength:
2καὶ εἶπεν· ΑΓΑΠΗΣΩ σε, Κύριε, ἡ ἰσχύς μου.
3The Lord is my firmament, my refuge, and my deliverer. My God is my helper, and in him will I put my trust. My protector and the horn of my salvation, and my support.
3Κύριος στερέωμά μου καὶ καταφυγή μου καὶ ρύστης μου. Ὁ Θεός μου βοηθός μου, ἐλπιῶ ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, ὑπερασπιστής μου καὶ κέρας σωτηρίας μου καὶ ἀντιλήπτωρ μου.
4Praising I will call upon the Lord: and I shall be saved from my enemies.
4αἰνῶν ἐπικαλέσομαι τὸν Κύριον καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου σωθήσομαι.
5The sorrows of death surrounded me: and the torrents of iniquity troubled me.
5περιέσχον με ὠδῖνες θανάτου, καὶ χείμαρροι ἀνομίας ἐξετάραξάν με.
6The sorrows of hell encompassed me: and the snares of death prevented me.
6ὠδῖνες ᾅδου περιεκύκλωσάν με, προέφθασάν με παγίδες θανάτου.
7In my affliction I called upon the Lord, and I cried to my God: And he heard my voice from his holy temple: and my cry before him came into his ears.
7καὶ ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαί με ἐπεκαλεσάμην τὸν Κύριον καὶ πρὸς τὸν Θεόν μου ἐκέκραξα· ἤκουσεν ἐκ ναοῦ ἁγίου αὐτοῦ φωνῆς μου, καὶ ἡ κραυγή μου ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὰ ὦτα αὐτοῦ.
8The earth shook and trembled: the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.
8καὶ ἐσαλεύθη καὶ ἔντρομος ἐγενήθη ἡ γῆ, καὶ τὰ θεμέλια τῶν ὀρέων ἐταράχθησαν καὶ ἐσαλεύθησαν, ὅτι ὠργίσθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Θεός.
9There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: coals were kindled by it.
9ἀνέβη καπνὸς ἐν ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ καὶ πῦρ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ καταφλεγήσεται, ἄνθρακες ἀνήφθησαν ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
10He bowed the heavens, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10καὶ ἔκλινεν οὐρανοὺς καὶ κατέβη, καὶ γνόφος ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ.
11And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; he flew upon the wings of the winds.
11καὶ ἐπέβη ἐπὶ Χερουβὶμ καὶ ἐπετάσθη, ἐπετάσθη ἐπὶ πτερύγων ἀνέμων.
12And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.
12καὶ ἔθετο σκότος ἀποκρυφὴν αὐτοῦ· κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ ἡ σκηνὴ αὐτοῦ, σκοτεινὸν ὕδωρ ἐν νεφέλαις ἀέρων.
13At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.
13ἀπὸ τῆς τηλαυγήσεως ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ αἱ νεφέλαι διῆλθον, χάλαζα καὶ ἄνθρακες πυρός.
14And the Lord thundered from heaven, and the highest gave his voice: hail and coals of fire.
14καὶ ἐβρόντησεν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ Κύριος, καὶ ὁ ¨Υψιστος ἔδωκε φωνὴν αὐτοῦ·
15And he sent forth his arrows, and he scattered them: he multiplied lightnings, and troubled them.
15ἐξαπέστειλε βέλη καὶ ἐσκόρπισεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἀστραπὰς ἐπλήθυνε καὶ συνετάραξεν αὐτούς.
16Then the fountains of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were discovered: At thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the spirit of thy wrath.
16καὶ ὤφθησαν αἱ πηγαὶ τῶν ὑδάτων, καὶ ἀνεκαλύφθη τὰ θεμέλια τῆς οἰκουμένης ἀπὸ ἐπιτιμήσεώς σου, Κύριε, ἀπὸ ἐμπνεύσεως πνεύματος ὀργῆς σου.
17He sent from on high, and took me: and received me out of many waters.
17ἐξαπέστειλεν ἐξ ὕψους καὶ ἔλαβέ με, προσελάβετό με ἐξ ὑδάτων πολλῶν.
18He delivered me from my strongest enemies, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18ρύσεταί με ἐξ ἐχθρῶν μου δυνατῶν, καὶ ἐκ τῶν μισούντων με, ὅτι ἐστερεώθησαν ὑπὲρ ἐμέ.
19They prevented me in the day of my affliction: and the Lord became my protector.
19προέφθασάν με ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κακώσεώς μου, καὶ ἐγένετο Κύριος ἀντιστήριγμά μου
20And he brought me forth into a large place: he saved me, because he was well pleased with me.
20καὶ ἐξήγαγέ με εἰς πλατυσμόν, ρύσεταί με, ὅτι ἠθέλησέ με.
21And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands:
21καὶ ἀνταποδώσει μοι Κύριος κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου καὶ κατὰ τὴν καθαριότητα τῶν χειρῶν μου ἀνταποδώσει μοι,
22Because I have kept the ways of the Lord; and have not done wickedly against my God.
22ὅτι ἐφύλαξα τὰς ὁδοὺς Κυρίου καὶ οὐκ ἠσέβησα ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ μου,
23For till his judgments are in my sight: and his justices I have not put away from me.
23ὅτι πάντα τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιόν μου, καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἀπέστησαν ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ.
24And I shall be spotless with him: and shall keep myself from my iniquity.
24καὶ ἔσομαι ἄμωμος μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ φυλάξομαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας μου.
25And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.
25καὶ ἀνταποδώσει μοι Κύριος κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου καὶ κατὰ τὴν καθαριότητα τῶν χειρῶν μου ἐνώπιον τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ.
26With the holy, thou wilt be holy; and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent.
26μετὰ ὁσίου ὅσιος ἔσῃ, καὶ μετὰ ἀνδρὸς ἀθῴου ἀθῷος ἔσῃ,
27And with the elect thou wilt be elect: and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.
27καὶ μετὰ ἐκλεκτοῦ ἐκλεκτὸς ἔσῃ καὶ μετὰ στρεβλοῦ διαστρέψεις.
28For thou wilt save the humble people; but wilt bring down the eyes of the proud.
28ὅτι σὺ λαὸν ταπεινὸν σώσεις καὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑπερηφάνων ταπεινώσεις.
29For thou lightest my lamp, O Lord: O my God enlighten my darkness.
29ὅτι σὺ φωτιεῖς λύχνον μου, Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου, φωτιεῖς τὸ σκότος μου.
30For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; and through my God I shall go over a wall.
30ὅτι ἐν σοὶ ρυσθήσομαι ἀπὸ πειρατηρίου καὶ ἐν τῷ Θεῷ μου ὑπερβήσομαι τεῖχος.
31As for my God, his way is undefiled: the words of the Lord are fire tried: he is the protector of all that trust in him.
31ὁ Θεός μου, ἄμωμος ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτοῦ, τὰ λόγια Κυρίου πεπυρωμένα, ὑπερασπιστής ἐστι πάντων τῶν ἐλπιζόντων ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν.
32For who is God but the Lord? or who is God but our God?
32ὅτι τίς Θεὸς πλὴν τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ τίς Θεὸς πλὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν;
33God who hath girt me with strength; and made my way blameless.
33ὁ Θεὸς ὁ περιζωννύων με δύναμιν καὶ ἔθετο ἄμωμον τὴν ὁδόν μου·
34Who hath made my feet like the feet of harts: and who setteth me upon high places.
34καταρτιζόμενος τοὺς πόδας μου ὡσεὶ ἐλάφου καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἱστῶν με·
35Who teacheth my hands to war: and thou hast made my arms like a brazen bow.
35διδάσκων χεῖράς μου εἰς πόλεμον καὶ ἔθου τόξον χαλκοῦν τοὺς βραχίονάς μου·
36And thou hast given me the protection of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up: And thy discipline hath corrected me unto the end: and thy discipline, the same shall teach me.
36καὶ ἔδωκάς μοι ὑπερασπισμὸν σωτηρίας, καὶ ἡ δεξιά σου ἀντελάβετό μου, καὶ ἡ παιδεία σου ἀνώρθωσέ με εἰς τέλος, καὶ ἡ παιδεία σου αὐτή με διδάξει.
37Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; and my feet are not weakened.
37ἐπλάτυνας τὰ διαβήματά μου ὑποκάτω μου, καὶ οὐκ ἠσθένησαν τὰ ἴχνη μου.
38I will pursue after my enemies, and overtake them: and I will not turn again till they are consumed.
38καταδιώξω τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου καὶ καταλήψομαι αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐκ ἀποστραφήσομαι, ἕως ἂν ἐκλίπωσιν·
39I will break them, and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.
39ἐκθλίψω αὐτούς, καὶ οὐ μὴ δύνωνται στῆναι, πεσοῦνται ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας μου.
40And thou hast girded me with strength unto battle; and hast subdued under me them that rose up against me.
40καὶ περιέζωσάς με δύναμιν εἰς πόλεμον, συνεπόδισας πάντας τοὺς ἐπανισταμένους ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ὑποκάτω μου.
41And thou hast made my enemies turn their back upon me, and hast destroyed them that hated me.
41καὶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἔδωκάς μοι νῶτον καὶ τοὺς μισοῦντάς με ἐξωλόθρευσας.
42They cried, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: but he heard them not.
42ἐκέκραξαν, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ σῴζων, πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν.
43And I shall beat them as small as the dust before the wind; I shall bring them to nought, like the dirt in the streets.
43καὶ λεπτυνῶ αὐτοὺς ὡσεὶ χνοῦν κατὰ πρόσωπον ἀνέμου, ὡς πηλὸν πλατειῶν λεανῶ αὐτούς.
44Thou wilt deliver me from the contradictions of the people: thou wilt make me head of the Gentiles.
44ρύσῃ με ἐξ ἀντιλογίας λαοῦ, καταστήσεις με εἰς κεφαλὴν ἐθνῶν. λαός, ὃν οὐκ ἔγνων, ἐδούλευσέ μοι,
45A people, which I knew not, hath served me: at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed me.
45εἰς ἀκοὴν ὠτίου ὑπήκουσέ μου· υἱοὶ ἀλλότριοι ἐψεύσαντό μοι,
46The children that are strangers have lied to me, strange children have faded away, and have halted from their paths.
46υἱοὶ ἀλλότριοι ἐπαλαιώθησαν καὶ ἐχώλαναν ἀπὸ τῶν τρίβων αὐτῶν.
47The Lord liveth, and blessed be my God, and let the God of my salvation be exalted:
47ζῇ Κύριος, καὶ εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεός μου καὶ ὑψωθήτω ὁ Θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας μου,
48O God, who avengest me, and subduest the people under me, my deliverer from my enemies.
48ὁ Θεὸς ὁ διδοὺς ἐκδικήσεις ἐμοί, καὶ ὑποτάξας λαοὺς ὑπ᾿ ἐμέ,
49And thou wilt lift me up above them that rise up against me: from the unjust man thou wilt deliver me.
49ὁ ρύστης μου ἐξ ἐχθρῶν μου ὀργίλων, ἀπὸ τῶν ἐπανισταμένων ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ὑψώσεις με, ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς ἀδίκου ρῦσαί με.
50Therefore will I give glory to thee, O Lord, among the nations, and I will sing a psalm to thy name.
50διὰ τοῦτο ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι ἐν ἔθνεσι, Κύριε, καὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ψαλῶ,
51Giving great deliverance to his king, and shewing mercy to David his anointed: and to his seed for ever.
51μεγαλύνων τὰς σωτηρίας τοῦ βασιλέως αὐτοῦ, καὶ ποιῶν ἔλεος τῷ χριστῷ αὐτοῦ, τῷ Δαυΐδ καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος.
