King James Version with Apocrypha
1Συνέσεως τῷ Ἀσάφ. ΙΝΑΤΙ ἀπώσω, ὁ Θεός, εἰς τέλος; ὠργίσθη ὁ θυμός σου ἐπὶ πρόβατα νομῆς σου;
1Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
2μνήσθητι τῆς συναγωγῆς σου, ἧς ἐκτήσω ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς· ἐλυτρώσω ράβδον κληρονομίας σου, ὄρος Σιὼν τοῦτο, ὃ κατεσκήνωσας ἐν αὐτῷ.
2But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3ἔπαρον τὰς χεῖράς σου ἐπὶ τὰς ὑπερηφανίας αὐτῶν εἰς τέλος, ὅσα ἐπονηρεύσατο ὁ ἐχθρὸς ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις σου.
3For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4καὶ ἐνεκαυχήσαντο οἱ μισοῦντές σε ἐν μέσῳ τῆς ἑορτῆς σου, ἔθεντο τὰ σημεῖα αὐτῶν σημεῖα καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν.
4For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
5ὡς εἰς τὴν ἔξοδον ὑπεράνω,
5They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6ὡς ἐν δρυμῷ ξύλων ἀξίναις ἐξέκοψαν τὰς θύρας αὐτῆς ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ἐν πελέκει καὶ λαξευτηρίῳ κατέρραξαν αὐτήν.
6Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
7ἐνεπύρισαν ἐν πυρὶ τὸ ἁγιαστήριόν σου, εἰς τὴν γῆν ἐβεβήλωσαν τὸ σκήνωμα τοῦ ὀνόματός σου.
7Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8εἶπαν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν αἱ συγγένειαι αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό· δεῦτε καὶ καταπαύσωμεν πάσας τὰς ἑορτὰς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς.
8They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
9τὰ σημεῖα αὐτῶν οὐκ εἴδομεν, οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι προφήτης, καὶ ἡμᾶς οὐ γνώσεται ἔτι.
9They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10ἕως πότε, ὁ Θεός, ὀνειδιεῖ ὁ ἐχθρός, παροξυνεῖ ὁ ὑπεναντίος τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τέλος;
10Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11ἱνατί ἀποστρέφεις τὴν χεῖρά σου καὶ τὴν δεξιάν σου ἐκ μέσου τοῦ κόλπου σου εἰς τέλος;
11And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12ὁ δὲ Θεὸς βασιλεὺς ἡμῶν πρὸ αἰώνων, εἰργάσατο σωτηρίαν ἐν μέσῳ τῆς γῆς.
12Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
13σὺ ἐκραταίωσας ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου τὴν θάλασσαν, σὺ συνέτριψας τὰς κεφαλὰς τῶν δρακόντων ἐπὶ τοῦ ὕδατος.
13Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
14σὺ συνέθλασας τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ δράκοντος, ἔδωκας αὐτὸν βρῶμα λαοῖς τοῖς Αἰθίοψι.
14For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
15σὺ διέρρηξας πηγὰς καὶ χειμάρρους, σὺ ἐξήρανας ποταμοὺς Ἠθάμ.
15If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
16σή ἐστιν ἡ ἡμέρα, καὶ σή ἐστιν ἡ νύξ, σὺ κατηρτίσω φαῦσιν καὶ ἥλιον.
16When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
17σὺ ἐποίησας πάντα τὰ ὡραῖα τῆς γῆς· θέρος καὶ ἔαρ, σὺ ἔπλασας αὐτά.
17Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
18μνήσθητι ταύτης· ἐχθρὸς ὠνείδισε τὸν Κύριον, καὶ λαὸς ἄφρων παρώξυνε τὸ ὄνομά σου.
18Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
19μὴ παραδῷς τοῖς θηρίοις ψυχὴν ἐξομολογουμένην σοι, τῶν ψυχῶν τῶν πενήτων σου μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ εἰς τέλος.
19How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
20ἐπίβλεψον εἰς τὴν διαθήκην σου, ὅτι ἐπληρώθησαν οἱ ἐσκοτισμένοι τῆς γῆς οἴκων ἀνομιῶν.
20As a dream when one awaketh; so , O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
21μὴ ἀποστραφήτω τεταπεινωμένος καὶ κατῃσχυμένος· πτωχὸς καὶ πένης αἰνέσουσι τὸ ὄνομά σου.
21Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
22ἀνάστα, ὁ Θεός, δίκασον τὴν δίκην σου· μνήσθητι τοῦ ὀνειδισμοῦ σου τοῦ ὑπὸ ἄφρονος ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν.
22So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
23μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ τῆς φωνῆς τῶν ἱκετῶν σου· ἡ ὑπερηφανία τῶν μισούντων σε ἀνέβη διὰ παντός.
23Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
