Psalms 90

Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)

Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)

1The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.

1Αἶνος ᾠδῆς τῷ Δαυίδ. Ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν βοηθείᾳ τοῦ ὑψίστου, ἐν σκέπῃ τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ αὐλισθήσεται.

2He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.

2Ἐρεῖ τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἀντιλήπτωρ μου εἶ καὶ καταφυγή μου, ὁ Θεός μου, ἐλπιῶ ἐπʼ αὐτόν.

3For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.

3Ὅτι αὐτὸς ῥύσεταί σε ἐκ παγίδος θηρευτῶν, ἀπὸ λόγου ταραχώδους.

4He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.

4Ἐν τοῖς μεταφρένοις αὐτοῦ ἐπισκιάσει σοι, καὶ ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτοῦ ἐλπιεῖς· ὅπλῳ κυκλώσει σε ἡ ἀλήθεια αὐτοῦ.

5His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.

5Οὐ φοβηθήσῃ ἀπὸ φόβου νυκτερινοῦ, ἀπὸ βέλους πετομένου ἡμέρας,

6Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.

6ἀπὸ πράγματος διαπορευομένου ἐν σκότει, ἀπὸ συμπτώματος καὶ δαιμονίου μεσημβρινοῦ.

7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.

7Πεσεῖται ἐκ τοῦ κλίτους σου χιλιὰς, καὶ μυριὰς ἐκ δεξιῶν σου, πρὸς σὲ δὲ οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ.

8But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.

8Πλὴν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου κατανοήσεις, καὶ ἀνταπόδοσιν ἁμαρτωλῶν ὄψει.

9Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.

9Ὅτι σὺ Κύριε ἡ ἐλπίς μου, τὸν ὕψιστον ἔθου καταφυγήν σου.

10There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.

10Οὐ προσελεύσεται πρὸς σὲ κακὰ, καὶ μάστιξ οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ τῷ σκηνώματί σου.

11For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.

11Ὅτι τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ ἐντελεῖται περὶ σοῦ, τοῦ διαφυλάξαι σε ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς σου.

12In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

12Ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἀροῦσί σε, μή ποτε προσκόψῃς πρὸς λίθον τὸν πόδα σου.

13Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.

13Ἐπʼ ἀσπίδα καὶ βασιλίσκον ἐπιβήσῃ, καὶ καταπατήσεις λέοντα καὶ δράκοντα.

14Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.

14Ὅτι ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἤλπισε, καὶ ῥύσομαι αὐτόν· σκεπάσω αὐτὸν, ὅτι ἔγνω τὸ ὄνομά μου.

15He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.

15Ἐπικαλέσεται πρὸς μὲ, καὶ εἰσακούσομαι αὐτοῦ, μετʼ αὐτοῦ εἰμι ἐν θλίψει, καὶ ἐξελοῦμαι αὐτὸν, καὶ δοξάσω αὐτόν.

16I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.

16Μακρότητι ἡμερῶν ἐμπλήσω αὐτὸν, καὶ δείξω αὐτῷ τὸ σωτήριόν μου.
