1ΕΓΩ ἀνὴρ ὁ βλέπων πτωχείαν ἐν ράβδῳ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐπ' ἐμέ·
1I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of His wrath.
2παρέλαβέ με καὶ ἀπήγαγέ με εἰς σκότος καὶ οὐ φῶς,
2He hath led me and caused me to walk in darkness and not in light.
3πλὴν ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐπέστρεψε χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν.
3Surely against me He turneth His hand again and again all the day.
4Ἐπαλαίωσε σάρκα μου καὶ δέρμα μου, ὀστέα μου συνέτριψεν·
4My flesh and my skin hath He worn out; He hath broken my bones.
5ἀῳκοδόμησε κατ' ἐμοῦ καὶ ἐκύκλωσε κεφαλήν μου καὶ ἐμόχθησεν,
5He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
6ἐν σκοτεινοῖς ἐκάθισέ με ὡς νεκροὺς αἰῶνος.
6He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
7Ἀνῳκοδόμησε κατ' ἐμοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεύσομαι, ἐβάρυνε χαλκόν μου·
7He hath hedged me about, that I cannot go forth; He hath made my chain heavy.
8καί γε κεκράξομαι καὶ βοήσω, ἀπέφραξε προσευχήν μου·
8Yea, when I cry and call for help, He shutteth out my prayer.
9ἀνῳκοδόμησεν ὁδούς μου, ἐνέφραξε τρίβους μου, ἐτάραξεν.
9He hath enclosed my ways with hewn stone, He hath made my paths crooked.
10Ἄρκος ἐνεδρεύουσα αὐτός μοι, λέων ἐν κρυφαίοις·
10He is unto me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places.
11κατεδίωξεν ἀφεστηκότα καὶ κατέπαυσέ με, ἔθετό με ἠφανισμένην.
11He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces; He hath made me desolate.
12ἐνέτεινε τόξον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐστήλωσέ με ὡς σκοπὸν εἰς βέλος.
12He hath bent His bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13Εἰσήγαγεν ἐν τοῖς νεφροῖς μου ἰοὺς φαρέτρας αὐτοῦ·
13He hath caused the arrows of His quiver to enter into my reins.
14ἐγενήθην γέλως παντὶ λαῷ μου, ψαλμὸς αὐτῶν ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν·
14I am become a derision to all my people, and their song all the day.
15ἐχόρτασέ με πικρίας, ἐμέθυσέ με χολῆς.
15He hath filled me with bitterness, He hath sated me with wormwood.
16Καὶ ἐξέβαλε ψήφῳ ὀδόντας μου, ἐψώμισέ με σποδόν·
16He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, He hath made me to wallow in ashes.
17καὶ ἀπώσατο ἐξ εἰρήνης ψυχήν μου,
17And my soul is removed far off from peace, I forgot prosperity.
18ἐπελαθόμην ἀγαθά, καὶ εἶπα· ἀπώλετο νῖκός μου καὶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου ἀπὸ Κυρίου.
18And I said: 'My strength is perished, and mine expectation from the LORD.'
19Ἐμνήσθην ἀπὸ πτωχείας μου καὶ ἐκδιωγμοῦ μου πικρίας καὶ χολῆς μου.
19Remember mine affliction and mine anguish, the wormwood and the gall.
20μνησθήσεται καὶ καταδολεσχήσει ἐπ' ἐμὲ ἡ ψυχή μου·
20My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is bowed down within me.
21ταύτην τάξω εἰς τὴν καρδίαν μου, διὰ τοῦτο ὑπομενῶ.
21This I recall to my mind, therefore have I 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.
22Surely the LORD'S mercies are not consumed, surely His compassions fail not.
23καινὰ εἰς τὰς πρωΐας, πολλὴ ἡ πίστις σου.
23They are new every morning; great is Thy faithfulness.
24μερίς μου Κύριος, εἶπεν ἡ ψυχή μου· διὰ τοῦτο ὑπομενῶ αὐτῷ.
24'The LORD is my portion', saith my soul; 'Therefore will I hope in Him.'
25Ἀγαθὸς Κύριος τοῖς ὑπομένουσιν αὐτόν, ψυχὴ ἣ ζητήσει αὐτὸν ἀγαθὸν
25The LORD is good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul that seeketh Him.
26καὶ ὑπομεννεῖ καὶ ἡσυχάσει εἰς τὸ σωτήριον Κυρίου.
26It is good that a man should quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
27ἀγαθὸν ἀνδρί, ὅταν ἄρῃ ζυγὸν ἐν νεότητι αὐτοῦ.
27It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28Καθήσεται κατὰ μόνας καὶ σιωπήσεται, ὅτι ᾖρεν ἐφ' ἑαυτῷ·
28Let him sit alone and keep silence, because He hath laid it upon him.
no verse 29 in this text
29Let him put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.
30δώσει τῷ παίοντι αὐτὸν σιαγόνα, χορτασθήσεται ὀνειδισμῶν.
30Let him give his cheek to him that smiteth him, let him be filled full with reproach.
31¨Οτι οὐκ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀπώσεται Κύριος.
31For the Lord will not cast off for ever.
32ὅτι ὁ ταπεινώσας οἰκτειρήσει κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ ἐλέους αὐτοῦ·
32For though He cause grief, yet will He have compassion according to the multitude of His mercies.
33ὅτι οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη ἀπὸ καρδίας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐταπείνωσεν υἱοὺς ἀνδρός.
33For He doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
34Τοῦ ταπεινῶσαι ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ πάντας δεσμίους γῆς,
34To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
35τοῦ ἐκκλῖναι κρίσιν ἀνδρὸς κατέναντι προσώπου Ὑψίστου,
35To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
36καταδικάσαι ἄνθρωπον ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαι αὐτὸν Κύριος οὐκ εἶπε.
36To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
37Τίς οὕτως εἶπε, καὶ ἐγενήθη; Κύριος οὐκ ἐνετείλατο.
37Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
38ἐκ στόματος Ὑψίστου οὐκ ἐξελεύσεται τὰ κακὰ καὶ τὸ ἀγαθόν;
38Out of the mouth of the Most High proceedeth not evil and good?
39τί γογγύσει ἄνθρωπος ζῶν, ἀνὴρ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ;
39Wherefore doth a living man complain, a strong man because of his sins?
40Ἐξηρευνήθη ἡ ὁδὸς ἡμῶν καὶ ἠτάσθη, κὶ ἐπιστρέψομεν ἕως Κυρίου·
40Let us search and try our ways, and return to the LORD.
41ἀναλάβωμεν καρδίας ἡμῶν ἐπὶ χειρῶν πρὸς ὑψηλὸν ἐν οὐρανῷ·
41Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
42ἡμαρτήσαμεν, ἠσεβήσαμεν, καὶ οὐχ ἱλάσθης.
42We have transgressed and have rebelled; Thou hast not pardoned.
43Ἐπεσκέπασας ἐν θυμῷ καὶ ἀπεδίωξας ἡμᾶς· ἀπέκτεινας, οὐκ ἐφείσω.
43Thou hast covered with anger and pursued us; Thou hast slain unsparingly.
44Ἐπεσκέπασας νεφέλην σεαυτῷ ἕνεκεν προσευχῆς,
44Thou hast covered Thyself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
45καμμύσαι με καὶ ἀπωσθῆναι ἔθηκας ἡμᾶς ἐν μέσῳ τῶν λαῶν.
45Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
46Διήνοιξαν ἐφ' ἡμᾶς τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν πάντες οἱ ἐχθροὶ ἡμῶν·
46All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
47φόβος καὶ θυμὸς ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν, ἔπαρσις καὶ συντριβή.
47Terror and the pit are come upon us, desolation and destruction.
48ἀφέσεις ὑδάτων κατάξει ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπὶ τὸ σύντριμμα τῆς θυγατρὸς τοῦ λαοῦ μου.
48Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water, for the breach of the daughter of my people.
49Ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου κατεπόθη, καὶ οὐ σιγήσομαι τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἔκνηψιν,
49Mine eye is poured out, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,
50ἕως οὗ διακύψῃ καὶ ἴδῃ Κύριος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ·
50Till the LORD look forth, and behold from heaven.
51ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπιφυλλιεῖ ἐπὶ τὴν ψυχήν μου παρὰ πάσας θυγατέρας πόλεως.
51Mine eye affected my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
52Θηρεύοντες ἐθήρευσάν με ὡς στρουθίον πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί μου δωρεάν,
52They have chased me sore like a bird, that are mine enemies without cause.
53ἐθανάτωσαν ἐν λάκκῳ ζωήν μου καὶ ἐπέθηκαν λίθον ἐπ' ἐμοί.
53They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast stones upon me.
54ὑπερεχύθη ὕδωρ ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν μου· εἶπα· ἀπῶσμαι.
54Waters flowed over my head; I said: 'I am cut off.'
55Ἐπεκαλεσάμην τὸ ὄνομά σου, Κύριε, ἐκ λάκκου κατωτάτου·
55I called upon Thy name, O LORD, Out of the lowest dungeon.
56φωνήν μου ἤκουσας· μὴ κρύψῃς τὰ ὦτά σου εἰς τὴν δέησίν μου.
56Thou heardest my voice; hide not Thine ear at my sighing, at my cry.
57εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν μου ἤγγισας ἐν ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ἐπεκαλεσάμην σε· εἶπάς μοι· μὴ φοβοῦ.
57Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon Thee; Thou saidst: 'Fear not.'
58Ἐδίκασας, Κύριε, τὰς δίκας τῆς ψυχῆς μου, ἐλυτρώσω τὴν ζωήν μου·
58O Lord, Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; Thou hast redeemed my life.
59εἶδες, Κύριε, τὰς ταραχάς μου, ἔκρινας τὴν κρίσιν μου·
59O LORD, Thou hast seen my wrong; judge Thou my cause.
60εἶδες πᾶσαν τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν εἰς πάντας διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν ἐμοί.
60Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their devices against me.
61Ἤκουσας τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτῶν, πάντας τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν κατ' ἐμοῦ,
61Thou hast heard their taunt, O LORD, and all their devices against me;
62χείλη ἐπανισταμένων μοι καὶ μελέτας αὐτῶν κατ' ἐμοῦ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν,
62The lips of those that rose up against me, and their muttering against me all the day.
63καθέδραν αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνάστασιν αὐτῶν· ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν.
63Behold Thou their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their song.
64Ἀποδώσεις αὐτοῖς ἀνταπόδομα, Κύριε, κατὰ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν.
64Thou wilt render unto them a recompense, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
65ἀποδώσεις αὐτοῖς ὑπερασπισμὸν καρδίας, μόχθον σου αὐτοῖας,
65Thou wilt give them hardness of heart, Thy curse unto them.
66καταδιώξεις ἐν ὀργῇ καὶ ἐξαναλώσεις αὐτοὺς ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, Κύριε.
66Thou wilt pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD.
