Psalms 20

Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)

Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)

1Unto the end. A psalm for David.

1Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυίδ.

2In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.

2Κύριε, ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου εὐφρανθήσεται ὁ βασιλεὺς, καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ σωτηρίῳ σου ἀγαλλιάσεται σφόδρα.

3Thou hast given him his heart’s desire: and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.

3Τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ ἔδωκας αὐτῷ, καὶ τὴν δέησιν τῶν χειλέων αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐστέρησας αὐτόν· διάψαλμα.

4For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.

4Ὅτι προέφθασας αὐτὸν ἐν εὐλογίαις χρηστότητος, ἔθηκας ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ στέφανον ἐκ λίθου τιμίου.

5He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.

5Ζωὴν ᾐτήσατό σε, καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτῷ μακρότητα ἡμερῶν εἰς αἰῶνα αἰῶνος.

6His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.

6Μεγάλη ἡ δόξα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ σωτηρίῳ σου, δόξαν καὶ μεγαλοπρέπειαν ἐπιθήσεις ἐπʼ αὐτόν.

7For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.

7Ὅτι δώσεις αὐτῷ εὐλογίαν εἰς αἰῶνα αἰῶνος, εὐφρανεῖς αὐτὸν ἐν χαρᾷ μετὰ τοῦ προσώπου σου.

8For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

8Ὅτι ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐλπίζει ἐπὶ Κύριον, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐλέει τοῦ ὑψίστου οὐ μὴ σαλευθῇ.

9Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.

9Εὑρεθείη ἡ χείρ σου πᾶσι τοῖς ἐχθροῖς σου, ἡ δεξιά σου εὕροι πάντας τοὺς μισοῦντάς σε.

10Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, in the time of thy anger: the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, and fire shall devour them.

10Θήσεις αὐτοὺς ὡς κλίβανον πυρὸς εἰς καιρὸν τοῦ προσώπου σου, Κύριος ἐν ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ συνταράξει αὐτοὺς, καὶ καταφάγεται αὐτοὺς πῦρ.

11Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed from among the children of men.

11Τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν ἀπὸ γῆς ἀπολεῖς, καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτῶν ἀπὸ υἱῶν ἀνθρώπων.

12For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.

12Ὅτι ἔκλιναν εἰς σὲ κακὰ, διελογίσαντο βουλὴν, ἣν οὐ μὴ δύνωνται στῆσαι.

13For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face.

13Ὅτι θήσεις αὐτοὺς νῶτον ἐν τοῖς περιλοίποις σου, ἑτοιμάσεις τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν.

14Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and praise thy power.

14Ὑψώθητι Κύριε ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου· ᾄσομεν καὶ ψαλοῦμεν τὰς δυναστείας σου.
