1Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ. ΚΥΡΙΕ, ἐδοκίμασάς με, καὶ ἔγνως με·
1Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me:
2σὺ ἔγνως τὴν καθέδραν μου καὶ τὴν ἔγερσίν μου, σὺ συνῆκας τοὺς διαλογισμούς μου ἀπὸ μακρόθεν·
2Thou hast know my sitting down, and my rising up.
3τὴν τρίβον μου καὶ τὴν σχοῖνόν μου ἐξιχνίασας καὶ πάσας τὰς ὁδούς μου προεῖδες,
3Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: my path and my line thou hast searched out.
4ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι δόλος ἐν γλώσσῃ μου.
4And thou hast foreseen all my ways: for there is no speech in my tongue.
5ἰδού, Κύριε, σὺ ἔγνως πάντα, τὰ ἔσχατα καὶ τὰ ἀρχαῖα· σὺ ἔπλασάς με καὶ ἔθηκας ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ τὴν χεῖρά σου.
5Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me.
6ἐθαυμαστώθη ἡ γνῶσίς σου ἐξ ἐμοῦ· ἐκραταιώθη, οὐ μὴ δύνωμαι πρὸς αὐτήν.
6Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: it is high, and I cannot reach to it.
7ποῦ πορευθῶ ἀπὸ τοῦ πνεύματός σου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου ποῦ φύγω;
7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy face?
8ἐὰν ἀναβῶ εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, σὺ ἐκεῖ εἶ, ἐὰν καταβῶ εἰς τὸν ᾅδην, πάρει·
8If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I descend into hell, thou art present.
9ἐὰν ἀναλάβοιμι τὰς πτέρυγάς μου κατ᾿ ὄρθρον καὶ κατασκηνώσω εἰς τὰ ἔσχατα τῆς θαλάσσης,
9If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:
10καὶ γὰρ ἐκεῖ ἡ χείρ σου ὁδηγήσει με, καὶ καθέξει με ἡ δεξιά σου.
10Even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me.
11καὶ εἶπα· ἄρα σκότος καταπατήσει με, καὶ νὺξ φωτισμὸς ἐν τῇ τρυφῇ μου·
11And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: and night shall be my light in my pleasures.
12ὅτι σκότος οὐ σκοτισθήσεται ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ νὺξ ὡς ἡμέρα φωτισθήσεται· ὡς τὸ σκότος αὐτῆς, οὕτως καὶ τὸ φῶς αὐτῆς.
12But darkness shall not be dark to thee, and night shall be light as day: the darkness thereof, and the light thereof are alike to thee.
13ὅτι σὺ ἐκτήσω τοὺς νεφρούς μου, Κύριε, ἀντελάβου μου ἐκ γαστρὸς μητρός μου.
13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast protected me from my mother’s womb.
14ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι, ὅτι φοβερῶς ἐθαυμαστώθης· θαυμάσια τὰ ἔργα σου, καὶ ἡ ψυχή μου γινώσκει σφόδρα.
14I will praise thee, for thou art fearfully magnified: wonderful are thy works, and my soul knoweth right well.
15οὐκ ἐκρύβη τὸ ὀστοῦν μου ἀπὸ σοῦ, ὃ ἐποίησας ἐν κρυφῇ, καὶ ἡ ὑπόστασίς μου ἐν τοῖς κατωτάτοις τῆς γῆς·
15My bone is not hidden from thee, which thou hast made in secret: and my substance in the lower parts of the earth.
16τὸ ἀκατέργαστόν μου εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ βιβλίον σου πάντες γραφήσονται· ἡμέρας πλασθήσονται καὶ οὐθεὶς ἐν αὐτοῖς.
16Thy eyes did see my imperfect being, and in thy book all shall be written: days shall be formed, and no one in them.
17ἐμοὶ δὲ λίαν ἐτιμήθησαν οἱ φίλοι σου, ὁ Θεός, λίαν ἐκραταιώθησαν αἱ ἀρχαὶ αὐτῶν·
17But to me thy friends, O God, are made exceedingly honourable: their principality is exceedingly strengthened.
18ἐξαριθμήσομαι αὐτούς, καὶ ὑπὲρ ἄμμον πληθυνθήσονται· ἐξηγέρθην καὶ ἔτι εἰμὶ μετὰ σοῦ.
18I will number them, and they shall be multiplied above the sand: I rose up and am still with thee.
19ἐὰν ἀποκτείνῃς ἁμαρτωλούς, ὁ Θεός, ἄνδρες αἱμάτων, ἐκκλίνατε ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ,
19If thou wilt kill the wicked, O God: ye men of blood, depart from me:
20ὅτι ἐρισταί ἐστε εἰς διαλογισμούς· λήψονται εἰς ματαιότητα τὰς πόλεις σου.
20Because you say in thought: They shall receive thy cities in vain.
21οὐχὶ τοὺς μισοῦντάς σε, Κύριε, ἐμίσησα καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ἐξετηκόμην;
21Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated thee: and pine away because of thy enemies?
22τέλειον μῖσος ἐμίσουν αὐτούς, εἰς ἐχθροὺς ἐγένοντό μοι.
22I have hated them with a perfect hatred: and they are become enemies to me.
23δοκίμασόν με, ὁ Θεός, καὶ γνῶθι τὴν καρδίαν μου, ἔτασόν με καὶ γνῶθι τὰς τρίβους μου.
23Prove me, O God, and know my heart: examine me, and know my paths.
24καὶ ἴδε εἰ ὁδὸς ἀνομίας ἐν ἐμοί, καὶ ὁδήγησόν με ἐν ὁδῷ αἰωνίᾳ.
24And see if there be in me the way of iniquity: and lead me in the eternal way.
