1A canticle of a psalm for the sons of Core: unto the end, for Maheleth, to answer understanding of Eman the Ezrahite.
1ᾨδὴ ψαλμοῦ τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορέ· εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ μαελὲθ τοῦ ἀποκριθῆναι· συνέσεως Αἰμὰν τῷ Ἰσραηλίτῃ.
2O Lord, the God of my salvation: I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.
2ΚΥΡΙΕ ὁ Θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας μου, ἡμέρας ἐκέκραξα καὶ ἐν νυκτὶ ἐναντίον σου·
3Let my prayer come in before thee: incline thy ear to my petition.
3εἰσελθέτω ἐνώπιόν σου ἡ προσευχή μου, κλῖνον τὸ οὖς σου εἰς τὴν δέησίν μου.
4For my soul is filled with evils: and my life hath drawn nigh to hell.
4ὅτι ἐπλήσθη κακῶν ἡ ψυχή μου, καὶ ἡ ζωή μου τῷ ᾅδῃ ἤγγισε·
5I am counted among them that go down to the pit: I am become as a man without help,
5προσελογίσθην μετὰ τῶν καταβαινόντων εἰς λάκκον, ἐγενήθην ὡσεὶ ἄνθρωπος ἀβοήθητος ἐν νεκροῖς ἐλεύθερος,
6Free among the dead. Like the slain sleeping in the sepulchres, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cast off from thy hand.
6ὡσεὶ τραυματίαι καθεύδοντες ἐν τάφῳ, ὧν οὐκ ἐμνήσθης ἔτι καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου ἀπώσθησαν.
7They have laid me in the lower pit: in the dark places, and in the shadow of death.
7ἔθεντό με ἐν λάκκῳ κατωτάτῳ, ἐν σκοτεινοῖς καὶ ἐν σκιᾷ θανάτου.
8Thy wrath is strong over me: and all thy waves thou hast brought in upon me.
8ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ἐπεστηρίχθη ὁ θυμός σου, καὶ πάντας τοὺς μετεωρισμούς σου ἐπήγαγες ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ. (διάψαλμα).
9Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me: they have set me an abomination to themselves. I was delivered up, and came not forth:
9ἐμάκρυνας τοὺς γνωστούς μου ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ, ἔθεντό με βδέλυγμα ἑαυτοῖς, παρεδόθην καὶ οὐκ ἐξεπορευόμην.
10My eyes languished through poverty. All the day I cried to thee, O Lord: I stretched out my hands to thee.
10οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἠσθένησαν ἀπὸ πτωχείας· ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σέ, Κύριε, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν, διεπέτασα πρὸς σὲ τὰς χεῖράς μου·
11Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? or shall physicians raise to life, and give praise to thee?
11μὴ τοῖς νεκροῖς ποιήσεις θαυμάσια; ἢ ἰατροὶ ἀναστήσουσι, καὶ ἐξομολογήσονταί σοι;
12Shall any one in the sepulchre declare thy mercy: and thy truth in destruction?
12μὴ διηγήσεταί τις ἐν τῷ τάφῳ τὸ ἔλεός σου καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου ἐν τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ;
13Shall thy wonders be known in the dark; and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?
13μὴ γνωσθήσεται ἐν τῷ σκότει τὰ θαυμάσιά σου καὶ ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου ἐν γῇ ἐπιλελησμένῃ;
14But I, O Lord, have cried to thee: and in the morning my prayer shall prevent thee.
14κἀγὼ πρὸς σέ, Κύριε, ἐκέκραξα, καὶ τὸ πρωΐ ἡ προσευχή μου προφθάσει σε.
15Lord, why castest thou off my prayer: why turnest thou away thy face from me?
15ἱνατί, Κύριε, ἀπωθῇ τὴν ψυχήν μου, ἀποστρέφεις τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ;
16I am poor, and in labours from my youth: and being exalted have been humbled and troubled.
16πτωχός εἰμι ἐγὼ καὶ ἐν κόποις ἐκ νεότητός μου, ὑψωθεὶς δὲ ἐταπεινώθην καὶ ἐξηπορήθην.
17Thy wrath hath come upon me: and thy terrors have troubled me.
17ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ διῆλθον αἱ ὀργαί σου, οἱ φοβερισμοί σου ἐξετάραξάν με,
18They have come round about me like water all the day: they have compassed me about together.
18ἐκύκλωσάν με ὡσεὶ ὕδωρ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν, περιέσχον με ἅμα.
19Friend and neighbour thou hast put far from me: and my acquaintance, because of misery.
19ἐμάκρυνας ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ φίλον καὶ πλησίον καὶ τοὺς γνωστούς μου ἀπὸ ταλαιπωρίας.
