Berean Standard Bible
1ΕΓΩ ἀνὴρ ὁ βλέπων πτωχείαν ἐν ράβδῳ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐπ' ἐμέ·
1I am the man who has seen affliction under the rod of God’s wrath.
2παρέλαβέ με καὶ ἀπήγαγέ με εἰς σκότος καὶ οὐ φῶς,
2He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness instead of light.
3πλὴν ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐπέστρεψε χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν.
3Indeed, He keeps turning His hand against me all day long.
4Ἐπαλαίωσε σάρκα μου καὶ δέρμα μου, ὀστέα μου συνέτριψεν·
4He has worn away my flesh and skin; He has shattered my bones.
5ἀῳκοδόμησε κατ' ἐμοῦ καὶ ἐκύκλωσε κεφαλήν μου καὶ ἐμόχθησεν,
5He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
6ἐν σκοτεινοῖς ἐκάθισέ με ὡς νεκροὺς αἰῶνος.
6He has made me dwell in darkness like those dead for ages.
7Ἀνῳκοδόμησε κατ' ἐμοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεύσομαι, ἐβάρυνε χαλκόν μου·
7He has walled me in so I cannot escape; He has weighed me down with chains.
8καί γε κεκράξομαι καὶ βοήσω, ἀπέφραξε προσευχήν μου·
8Even when I cry out and plead for help, He shuts out my prayer.
9ἀνῳκοδόμησεν ὁδούς μου, ἐνέφραξε τρίβους μου, ἐτάραξεν.
9He has barred my ways with cut stones; He has made my paths crooked.
10Ἄρκος ἐνεδρεύουσα αὐτός μοι, λέων ἐν κρυφαίοις·
10He is a bear lying in wait, a lion hiding in ambush.
11κατεδίωξεν ἀφεστηκότα καὶ κατέπαυσέ με, ἔθετό με ἠφανισμένην.
11He forced me off my path and tore me to pieces; He left me without help.
12ἐνέτεινε τόξον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐστήλωσέ με ὡς σκοπὸν εἰς βέλος.
12He bent His bow and set me as the target for His arrow.
13Εἰσήγαγεν ἐν τοῖς νεφροῖς μου ἰοὺς φαρέτρας αὐτοῦ·
13He pierced my kidneys with His arrows.
14ἐγενήθην γέλως παντὶ λαῷ μου, ψαλμὸς αὐτῶν ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν·
14I am a laughingstock to all my people; they mock me in song all day long.
15ἐχόρτασέ με πικρίας, ἐμέθυσέ με χολῆς.
15He has filled me with bitterness; He has intoxicated me with wormwood.
16Καὶ ἐξέβαλε ψήφῳ ὀδόντας μου, ἐψώμισέ με σποδόν·
16He has ground my teeth with gravel and trampled me in the dust.
17καὶ ἀπώσατο ἐξ εἰρήνης ψυχήν μου,
17My soul has been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is.
18ἐπελαθόμην ἀγαθά, καὶ εἶπα· ἀπώλετο νῖκός μου καὶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου ἀπὸ Κυρίου.
18So I say, “My strength has perished, along with my hope from the LORD.”
19Ἐμνήσθην ἀπὸ πτωχείας μου καὶ ἐκδιωγμοῦ μου πικρίας καὶ χολῆς μου.
19Remember my affliction and wandering, the wormwood and the gall.
20μνησθήσεται καὶ καταδολεσχήσει ἐπ' ἐμὲ ἡ ψυχή μου·
20Surely my soul remembers and is humbled within me.
21ταύτην τάξω εἰς τὴν καρδίαν μου, διὰ τοῦτο ὑπομενῶ.
21Yet I call this to mind, and therefore I have hope:
22Τὰ ἐλέη Κυρίου, ὅτι οὐκ ἐξέλιπέμε, ὅτι οὐσυνετελέσθησαν οἱ οἰκτιρμοὶ αὐτοῦ· μῆνας εἰς τὰς πρωΐας ἐλέησον, Κύριε, ὅτι οὐ συνετελέσθημεν, ὅτι οὐ συνετελέσθησαν οἱ οἰκτιρμοὶ αὐτοῦ.
22Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail.
23καινὰ εἰς τὰς πρωΐας, πολλὴ ἡ πίστις σου.
23They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!
24μερίς μου Κύριος, εἶπεν ἡ ψυχή μου· διὰ τοῦτο ὑπομενῶ αὐτῷ.
24“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.”
25Ἀγαθὸς Κύριος τοῖς ὑπομένουσιν αὐτόν, ψυχὴ ἣ ζητήσει αὐτὸν ἀγαθὸν
25The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.
26καὶ ὑπομεννεῖ καὶ ἡσυχάσει εἰς τὸ σωτήριον Κυρίου.
26It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
27ἀγαθὸν ἀνδρί, ὅταν ἄρῃ ζυγὸν ἐν νεότητι αὐτοῦ.
27It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is still young.
28Καθήσεται κατὰ μόνας καὶ σιωπήσεται, ὅτι ᾖρεν ἐφ' ἑαυτῷ·
28Let him sit alone in silence, for God has disciplined him.
no verse 29 in this text
29Let him bury his face in the dust— perhaps there is still hope.
30δώσει τῷ παίοντι αὐτὸν σιαγόνα, χορτασθήσεται ὀνειδισμῶν.
30Let him offer his cheek to the one who would strike him; let him be filled with reproach.
31¨Οτι οὐκ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀπώσεται Κύριος.
31For the Lord will not cast us off forever.
32ὅτι ὁ ταπεινώσας οἰκτειρήσει κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ ἐλέους αὐτοῦ·
32Even if He causes grief, He will show compassion according to His abundant loving devotion.
33ὅτι οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη ἀπὸ καρδίας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐταπείνωσεν υἱοὺς ἀνδρός.
33For He does not willingly afflict or grieve the sons of men.
34Τοῦ ταπεινῶσαι ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ πάντας δεσμίους γῆς,
34To crush underfoot all the prisoners of the land,
35τοῦ ἐκκλῖναι κρίσιν ἀνδρὸς κατέναντι προσώπου Ὑψίστου,
35to deny a man justice before the Most High,
36καταδικάσαι ἄνθρωπον ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαι αὐτὸν Κύριος οὐκ εἶπε.
36to subvert a man in his lawsuit— of these the Lord does not approve.
37Τίς οὕτως εἶπε, καὶ ἐγενήθη; Κύριος οὐκ ἐνετείλατο.
37Who has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord has ordained it?
38ἐκ στόματος Ὑψίστου οὐκ ἐξελεύσεται τὰ κακὰ καὶ τὸ ἀγαθόν;
38Do not both adversity and good come from the mouth of the Most High?
39τί γογγύσει ἄνθρωπος ζῶν, ἀνὴρ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ;
39Why should any mortal man complain, in view of his sins?
40Ἐξηρευνήθη ἡ ὁδὸς ἡμῶν καὶ ἠτάσθη, κὶ ἐπιστρέψομεν ἕως Κυρίου·
40Let us examine and test our ways, and turn back to the LORD.
41ἀναλάβωμεν καρδίας ἡμῶν ἐπὶ χειρῶν πρὸς ὑψηλὸν ἐν οὐρανῷ·
41Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven:
42ἡμαρτήσαμεν, ἠσεβήσαμεν, καὶ οὐχ ἱλάσθης.
42“We have sinned and rebelled; You have not forgiven.”
43Ἐπεσκέπασας ἐν θυμῷ καὶ ἀπεδίωξας ἡμᾶς· ἀπέκτεινας, οὐκ ἐφείσω.
43You have covered Yourself in anger and pursued us; You have killed without pity.
44Ἐπεσκέπασας νεφέλην σεαυτῷ ἕνεκεν προσευχῆς,
44You have covered Yourself with a cloud that no prayer can pass through.
45καμμύσαι με καὶ ἀπωσθῆναι ἔθηκας ἡμᾶς ἐν μέσῳ τῶν λαῶν.
45You have made us scum and refuse among the nations.
46Διήνοιξαν ἐφ' ἡμᾶς τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν πάντες οἱ ἐχθροὶ ἡμῶν·
46All our enemies open their mouths against us.
47φόβος καὶ θυμὸς ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν, ἔπαρσις καὶ συντριβή.
47Panic and pitfall have come upon us— devastation and destruction.
48ἀφέσεις ὑδάτων κατάξει ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπὶ τὸ σύντριμμα τῆς θυγατρὸς τοῦ λαοῦ μου.
48Streams of tears flow from my eyes over the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49Ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου κατεπόθη, καὶ οὐ σιγήσομαι τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἔκνηψιν,
49My eyes overflow unceasingly, without relief,
50ἕως οὗ διακύψῃ καὶ ἴδῃ Κύριος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ·
50until the LORD looks down from heaven and sees.
51ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπιφυλλιεῖ ἐπὶ τὴν ψυχήν μου παρὰ πάσας θυγατέρας πόλεως.
51My eyes bring grief to my soul because of all the daughters of my city.
52Θηρεύοντες ἐθήρευσάν με ὡς στρουθίον πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί μου δωρεάν,
52Without cause my enemies hunted me like a bird.
53ἐθανάτωσαν ἐν λάκκῳ ζωήν μου καὶ ἐπέθηκαν λίθον ἐπ' ἐμοί.
53They dropped me alive into a pit and cast stones upon me.
54ὑπερεχύθη ὕδωρ ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν μου· εἶπα· ἀπῶσμαι.
54The waters flowed over my head, and I thought I was going to die.
55Ἐπεκαλεσάμην τὸ ὄνομά σου, Κύριε, ἐκ λάκκου κατωτάτου·
55I called on Your name, O LORD, out of the depths of the Pit.
56φωνήν μου ἤκουσας· μὴ κρύψῃς τὰ ὦτά σου εἰς τὴν δέησίν μου.
56You heard my plea: “Do not ignore my cry for relief.”
57εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν μου ἤγγισας ἐν ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ἐπεκαλεσάμην σε· εἶπάς μοι· μὴ φοβοῦ.
57You drew near when I called on You; You said, “Do not be afraid.”
58Ἐδίκασας, Κύριε, τὰς δίκας τῆς ψυχῆς μου, ἐλυτρώσω τὴν ζωήν μου·
58You defend my cause, O Lord; You redeem my life.
59εἶδες, Κύριε, τὰς ταραχάς μου, ἔκρινας τὴν κρίσιν μου·
59You have seen, O LORD, the wrong done to me; vindicate my cause!
60εἶδες πᾶσαν τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν εἰς πάντας διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν ἐμοί.
60You have seen all their malice, all their plots against me.
61Ἤκουσας τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτῶν, πάντας τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν κατ' ἐμοῦ,
61O LORD, You have heard their insults, all their plots against me—
62χείλη ἐπανισταμένων μοι καὶ μελέτας αὐτῶν κατ' ἐμοῦ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν,
62the slander and murmuring of my assailants against me all day long.
63καθέδραν αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνάστασιν αὐτῶν· ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν.
63When they sit and when they rise, see how they mock me in song.
64Ἀποδώσεις αὐτοῖς ἀνταπόδομα, Κύριε, κατὰ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν.
64You will pay them back what they deserve, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
65ἀποδώσεις αὐτοῖς ὑπερασπισμὸν καρδίας, μόχθον σου αὐτοῖας,
65Put a veil of anguish over their hearts; may Your curse be upon them!
66καταδιώξεις ἐν ὀργῇ καὶ ἐξαναλώσεις αὐτοὺς ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, Κύριε.
66You will pursue them in anger and exterminate them from under Your heavens, O LORD.
