Psalms 108
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1(108-1) A Song, a Psalm of David. (108-2) My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.
1Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυίδ. Ὁ Θεὸς τὴν αἴνεσίν μου μὴ παρασιωπήσῃς,
2(108-3) Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.
2ὅτι στόμα ἁμαρτωλοῦ καὶ στόμα δολίου ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἠνοίχθη· ἐλάλησαν κατʼ ἐμοῦ γλώσσῃ δολίᾳ,
3(108-4) I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.
3καὶ λόγοις μίσους ἐκύκλωσάν με, καὶ ἐπολέμησάν με δωρέαν.
4(108-5) For Thy mercy is great above the heavens, and Thy truth reacheth unto the skies.
4Ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀγαπᾷν με, ἐνδιέβαλλόν με, ἐγὼ δὲ προσηυχόμην.
5(108-6) Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and Thy glory be above all the earth.
5Καὶ ἔθεντο κατʼ ἐμοῦ κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν, καὶ μῖσος ἀντὶ τῆς ἀγαπήσεώς μου.
6(108-7) That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.
6Κατάστησον ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἁμαρτωλὸν, καὶ διάβολος στήτω ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ.
7(108-8) God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7Ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαι αὐτὸν, ἐξέλθοι καταδεδικασμένος, καὶ ἡ προσευχὴ αὐτοῦ γενέσθω εἰς ἁμαρτίαν.
8(108-9) Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
8Γενηθήτωσαν αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτοῦ ὀλίγαι, καὶ τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν αὐτοῦ λάβοι ἕτερος.
9(108-10) Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; over Philistia do I cry aloud.
9Γενηθήτωσαν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ὀρφανοὶ, καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ χήρα.
10(108-11) Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?
10Σαλευόμενοι μεταναστήτωσαν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπαιτησάτωσαν, ἐκβληθήτωσαν ἐκ τῶν οἰκοπέδων αὐτῶν.
11(108-12) Hast not Thou cast us off, O God? and Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts?
11Ἐξερευνησάτω δανειστὴς πάντα ὅσα ὑπάρχει αὐτῷ, καὶ διαρπασάτωσαν ἀλλότριοι τοὺς πόνους αὐτοῦ.
12(108-13) Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.
12Μὴ ὑπαρξάτω αὐτῷ ἀντιλήμπτωρ, μηδὲ γενηθήτω οἰκτίρμων τοῖς ὀρφανοῖς αὐτοῦ.
13(108-14) Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
13Γενηθήτω τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ εἰς ἐξολόθρευσιν, ἐν γενεᾷ μιᾷ ἐξαλειφθείη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ.
