World English Bible
1ΕΓΩ ἀνὴρ ὁ βλέπων πτωχείαν ἐν ράβδῳ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐπ' ἐμέ·
1I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
2παρέλαβέ με καὶ ἀπήγαγέ με εἰς σκότος καὶ οὐ φῶς,
2He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.
3πλὴν ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐπέστρεψε χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν.
3Surely he turns his hand against me again and again all day long.
4Ἐπαλαίωσε σάρκα μου καὶ δέρμα μου, ὀστέα μου συνέτριψεν·
4He has made my flesh and my skin old. He has broken my bones.
5ἀῳκοδόμησε κατ' ἐμοῦ καὶ ἐκύκλωσε κεφαλήν μου καὶ ἐμόχθησεν,
5He has built against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
6ἐν σκοτεινοῖς ἐκάθισέ με ὡς νεκροὺς αἰῶνος.
6He has made me dwell in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
7Ἀνῳκοδόμησε κατ' ἐμοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεύσομαι, ἐβάρυνε χαλκόν μου·
7He has walled me about, so that I can’t go out. He has made my chain heavy.
8καί γε κεκράξομαι καὶ βοήσω, ἀπέφραξε προσευχήν μου·
8Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.
9ἀνῳκοδόμησεν ὁδούς μου, ἐνέφραξε τρίβους μου, ἐτάραξεν.
9He has walled up my ways with cut stone. He has made my paths crooked.
10Ἄρκος ἐνεδρεύουσα αὐτός μοι, λέων ἐν κρυφαίοις·
10He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in hiding.
11κατεδίωξεν ἀφεστηκότα καὶ κατέπαυσέ με, ἔθετό με ἠφανισμένην.
11He has turned away my path, and pulled me in pieces. He has made me desolate.
12ἐνέτεινε τόξον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐστήλωσέ με ὡς σκοπὸν εἰς βέλος.
12He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13Εἰσήγαγεν ἐν τοῖς νεφροῖς μου ἰοὺς φαρέτρας αὐτοῦ·
13He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys.
14ἐγενήθην γέλως παντὶ λαῷ μου, ψαλμὸς αὐτῶν ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν·
14I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all day long.
15ἐχόρτασέ με πικρίας, ἐμέθυσέ με χολῆς.
15He has filled me with bitterness. He has stuffed me with wormwood.
16Καὶ ἐξέβαλε ψήφῳ ὀδόντας μου, ἐψώμισέ με σποδόν·
16He has also broken my teeth with gravel. He has covered me with ashes.
17καὶ ἀπώσατο ἐξ εἰρήνης ψυχήν μου,
17You have removed my soul far away from peace. I forgot prosperity.
18ἐπελαθόμην ἀγαθά, καὶ εἶπα· ἀπώλετο νῖκός μου καὶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου ἀπὸ Κυρίου.
18I said, “My strength has perished, along with my expectation from the LORD.”
19Ἐμνήσθην ἀπὸ πτωχείας μου καὶ ἐκδιωγμοῦ μου πικρίας καὶ χολῆς μου.
19Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the bitterness.
20μνησθήσεται καὶ καταδολεσχήσει ἐπ' ἐμὲ ἡ ψυχή μου·
20My soul still remembers them, and is bowed down within me.
21ταύτην τάξω εἰς τὴν καρδίαν μου, διὰ τοῦτο ὑπομενῶ.
21This I recall to my mind; 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.
22It is because of the LORD’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his mercies don’t 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 that a man should hope and 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 has laid it on him.
no verse 29 in this text
29Let him put his mouth in the dust, if it is so that there may be hope.
30δώσει τῷ παίοντι αὐτὸν σιαγόνα, χορτασθήσεται ὀνειδισμῶν.
30Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him. Let him be filled full of reproach.
31¨Οτι οὐκ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀπώσεται Κύριος.
31For the Lord will not cast off forever.
32ὅτι ὁ ταπεινώσας οἰκτειρήσει κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ ἐλέους αὐτοῦ·
32For though he causes grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
33ὅτι οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη ἀπὸ καρδίας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐταπείνωσεν υἱοὺς ἀνδρός.
33For he does 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 away 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 doesn’t approve.
37Τίς οὕτως εἶπε, καὶ ἐγενήθη; Κύριος οὐκ ἐνετείλατο.
37Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn’t command it?
38ἐκ στόματος Ὑψίστου οὐκ ἐξελεύσεται τὰ κακὰ καὶ τὸ ἀγαθόν;
38Doesn’t evil and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?
39τί γογγύσει ἄνθρωπος ζῶν, ἀνὴρ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ;
39Why should a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
40Ἐξηρευνήθη ἡ ὁδὸς ἡμῶν καὶ ἠτάσθη, κὶ ἐπιστρέψομεν ἕως Κυρίου·
40Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
41ἀναλάβωμεν καρδίας ἡμῶν ἐπὶ χειρῶν πρὸς ὑψηλὸν ἐν οὐρανῷ·
41Let’s lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.
42ἡμαρτήσαμεν, ἠσεβήσαμεν, καὶ οὐχ ἱλάσθης.
42“We have transgressed and have rebelled. You have not pardoned.
43Ἐπεσκέπασας ἐν θυμῷ καὶ ἀπεδίωξας ἡμᾶς· ἀπέκτεινας, οὐκ ἐφείσω.
43“You have covered us with anger and pursued us. You have killed. You have not pitied.
44Ἐπεσκέπασας νεφέλην σεαυτῷ ἕνεκεν προσευχῆς,
44You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
45καμμύσαι με καὶ ἀπωσθῆναι ἔθηκας ἡμᾶς ἐν μέσῳ τῶν λαῶν.
45You have made us an off-scouring and refuse in the middle of the peoples.
46Διήνοιξαν ἐφ' ἡμᾶς τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν πάντες οἱ ἐχθροὶ ἡμῶν·
46“All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
47φόβος καὶ θυμὸς ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν, ἔπαρσις καὶ συντριβή.
47Terror and the pit have come on us, devastation and destruction.”
48ἀφέσεις ὑδάτων κατάξει ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπὶ τὸ σύντριμμα τῆς θυγατρὸς τοῦ λαοῦ μου.
48My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49Ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου κατεπόθη, καὶ οὐ σιγήσομαι τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἔκνηψιν,
49My eye pours down and doesn’t cease, without any intermission,
50ἕως οὗ διακύψῃ καὶ ἴδῃ Κύριος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ·
50until the LORD looks down, and sees from heaven.
51ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπιφυλλιεῖ ἐπὶ τὴν ψυχήν μου παρὰ πάσας θυγατέρας πόλεως.
51My eye affects my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
52Θηρεύοντες ἐθήρευσάν με ὡς στρουθίον πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί μου δωρεάν,
52They have chased me relentlessly like a bird, those who are my 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 a stone on 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 on your name, LORD, out of the lowest dungeon.
56φωνήν μου ἤκουσας· μὴ κρύψῃς τὰ ὦτά σου εἰς τὴν δέησίν μου.
56You heard my voice: “Don’t hide your ear from my sighing, and my cry.”
57εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν μου ἤγγισας ἐν ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ἐπεκαλεσάμην σε· εἶπάς μοι· μὴ φοβοῦ.
57You came near in the day that I called on you. You said, “Don’t be afraid.”
58Ἐδίκασας, Κύριε, τὰς δίκας τῆς ψυχῆς μου, ἐλυτρώσω τὴν ζωήν μου·
58Lord, you have pleaded the causes of my soul. You have redeemed my life.
59εἶδες, Κύριε, τὰς ταραχάς μου, ἔκρινας τὴν κρίσιν μου·
59LORD, you have seen my wrong. Judge my cause.
60εἶδες πᾶσαν τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν εἰς πάντας διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν ἐμοί.
60You have seen all their vengeance and all their plans against me.
61Ἤκουσας τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτῶν, πάντας τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν κατ' ἐμοῦ,
61You have heard their reproach, LORD, and all their plans against me,
62χείλη ἐπανισταμένων μοι καὶ μελέτας αὐτῶν κατ' ἐμοῦ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν,
62the lips of those that rose up against me, and their plots against me all day long.
63καθέδραν αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνάστασιν αὐτῶν· ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν.
63You see their sitting down and their rising up. I am their song.
64Ἀποδώσεις αὐτοῖς ἀνταπόδομα, Κύριε, κατὰ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν.
64You will pay them back, LORD, according to the work of their hands.
65ἀποδώσεις αὐτοῖς ὑπερασπισμὸν καρδίας, μόχθον σου αὐτοῖας,
65You will give them hardness of heart, your curse to them.
66καταδιώξεις ἐν ὀργῇ καὶ ἐξαναλώσεις αὐτοὺς ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, Κύριε.
66You will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD.
