King James Version with Apocrypha
1ΕΛΕΗΣΟΝ ἡμᾶς, δέσποτα ὁ Θεὸς πάντων, καὶ ἐπίβλεψον καὶ ἐπίβαλε τὸν φόβον σου ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη·
1Have mercy upon us, O Lord God of all, and behold us:
2ἔπαρον τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐπὶ ἔθνη ἀλλότρια, καὶ ἰδέτωσαν τὴν δυναστείαν σου.
2And send thy fear upon all the nations that seek not after thee.
3ὥσπερ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ἡγιάσθης ἐν ἡμῖν, οὕτως ἐνώπιον ἡμῶν μεγαλυνθείης ἐν αὐτοῖς·
3Lift up thy hand against the strange nations, and let them see thy power.
4καὶ ἐπιγνώτωσάν σε, καθάπερ καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐπέγνωμεν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι Θεὸς πλὴν σοῦ, Κύριε.
4As thou wast sanctified in us before them: so be thou magnified among them before us.
5ἐγκαίνισον σημεῖα καὶ ἀλλοίωσον θαυμάσια, δόξασον χεῖρα καὶ βραχίονα δεξιόν·
5And let them know thee, as we have known thee, that there is no God but only thou, O God.
6ἔγειρον θυμὸν καὶ ἔκχεον ὀργήν, ἔξαρον ἀντίδικον καὶ ἔκτριψον ἐχθρόν.
6Shew new signs, and make other strange wonders: glorify thy hand and thy right arm, that they may set forth thy wondrous works.
7σπεῦσον καιρὸν καὶ μνήσθητι ὁρκισμοῦ, καὶ ἐκδιηγησάσθωσαν τὰ μεγαλεῖά σου.
7Raise up indignation, and pour out wrath: take away the adversary, and destroy the enemy.
8ἐν ὀργῇ πυρὸς καταβρωθήτω ὁ σῳζόμενος, καὶ οἱ κακοῦντες τὸν λαόν σου εὕροισαν ἀπώλειαν.
8Make the time short, remember the covenant, and let them declare thy wonderful works.
9σύντριψον κεφαλὰς ἀρχόντων ἐχθρῶν λεγόντων· οὐκ ἔστι πλὴν ἡμῶν.
9Let him that escapeth be consumed by the rage of the fire; and let them perish that oppress the people.
10συνάγαγε πάσας φυλὰς Ἰακώβ, καὶ κατεκληρονόμησα αὐτοὺς καθὼς ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς.
10Smite in sunder the heads of the rulers of the heathen, that say, There is none other but we.
11ἐλέησον λαόν, Κύριε, κεκλημένον ἐπ᾿ ὀνόματί σου καὶ Ἰσραήλ, ὃν πρωτογόνῳ ὡμοίωσας.
11Gather all the tribes of Jacob together, and inherit thou them, as from the beginning.
12οἰκτείρησον πόλιν ἁγιάσματός σου Ἱερουσαλήμ, πόλιν καταπαύματός σου.
12O Lord, have mercy upon the people that is called by thy name, and upon Israel, whom thou hast named thy firstborn.
13πλῆσον Σιὼν ἀρεταλογίας σου, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς δόξης σου τὸν λαόν σου.
13O be merciful unto Jerusalem, thy holy city, the place of thy rest.
14δὸς μαρτύριον τοῖς ἐν ἀρχῇ κτίσματί σου καὶ ἔγειρον προφητείας τὰς ἐπ᾿ ὀνόματί σου·
14Fill Sion with thine unspeakable oracles, and thy people with thy glory:
15δὸς μισθὸν τοῖς ὑπομένουσί σε, καὶ οἱ προφῆταί σου ἐμπιστευθήτωσαν.
15Give testimony unto those that thou hast possessed from the beginning, and raise up prophets that have been in thy name.
16εἰσάκουσον, Κύριε, δεήσεως ἱκετῶν σου, κατὰ τὴν εὐλογίαν Ἀαρὼν περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου,
16Reward them that wait for thee, and let thy prophets be found faithful.
17καὶ γνώσονται πάντες οἱ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὅτι σὺ Κύριος εἶ ὁ Θεὸς τῶν αἰώνων.
17O Lord, hear the prayer of thy servants, according to the blessing of Aaron over thy people, that all they which dwell upon the earth may know that thou art the Lord, the eternal God.
18Πᾶν βρῶμα φάγεται κοιλία, ἔστι δὲ βρῶμα βρώματος κάλλιον.
18The belly devoureth all meats, yet is one meat better than another.
19φάρυγξ γεύεται βρώματα θήρας, οὕτως καρδία συνετὴ λόγους ψευδεῖς.
19As the palate tasteth divers kinds of venison: so doth an heart of understanding false speeches.
20καρδία στρεβλὴ δώσει λύπην, καὶ ἄνθρωπος πολύπειρος ἀνταποδώσει αὐτῷ.
20A froward heart causeth heaviness: but a man of experience will recompense him.
21πάντα ἄρρενα ἐπιδέξεται γυνή, ἔστι δὲ θυγάτηρ θυγατρὸς κρείσσων.
21A woman will receive every man, yet is one daughter better than another.
22κάλλος γυναικὸς ἱλαρύνει πρόσωπον καὶ ὑπὲρ πᾶσαν ἐπιθυμίαν ἀνθρώπου ὑπεράγει·
22The beauty of a woman cheereth the countenance, and a man loveth nothing better.
23εἰ ἔστιν ἐπὶ γλώσσης αὐτῆς ἔλεος καὶ πραυ±της, οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς καθ᾿ υἱοὺς ἀνθρώπων.
23If there be kindness, meekness, and comfort, in her tongue, then is not her husband like other men.
24ὁ κτώμενος γυναῖκα ἐνάρχεται κτήσεως, βοηθὸν κατ᾿ αὐτὸν καὶ στύλον ἀναπαύσεως.
24He that getteth a wife beginneth a possession, a help like unto himself, and a pillar of rest.
25οὗ οὐκ ἔστι φραγμός, διαρπαγήσεται κτῆμα, καὶ οὗ οὐκ ἔστι γυνή, στενάξει πλανώμενος.
25Where no hedge is, there the possession is spoiled: and he that hath no wife will wander up and down mourning.
26τίς γὰρ πιστεύσει εὐζώνῳ λῃστῇ σφαλλομένῳ ἐκ πόλεως εἰς πόλιν;
26Who will trust a thief well appointed, that skippeth from city to city? so who will believe a man that hath no house, and lodgeth wheresoever the night taketh him?
27οὕτως ἀνθρώπῳ μὴ ἔχοντι νοσσιὰν καὶ καταλύοντι οὗ ἐὰν ὀψίσῃ.
