ΨΑΛΜΟΙ 139

Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Εἰς τὸ τέλος, τῷ Δαυὶδ ψαλμός.
1O LORD , thou hast searched me, and known me .
2Ἐξελοῦ με Κύριε ἐξ ἀνθρώπου πονηροῦ, ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς ἀδίκου ῥῦσαί με·
2Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3οἵτινες ἐλογίσαντο ἀδικίας ἐν καρδίᾳ, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν παρετάσσοντο πολέμους.
3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4Ἠκόνησαν γλῶσσαν αὐτῶν ὡσεὶ ὄφεως, ἰὸς ἀσπίδων ὑπὸ τὰ χείλη αὐτῶν· διάψαλμα.
4For there is not a word in my tongue, but , lo, O LORD , thou knowest it altogether.
5Φύλαξόν με Κύριε ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ, ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπων ἀδίκων ἐξελοῦ με· οἵτινες ἐλογίσαντο τοῦ ὑποσκελίσαι τὰ διαβήματά μου.
5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6Ἔκρυψαν ὑπερήφανοι παγίδα μοι· καὶ σχοινία διέτειναν παγίδας τοῖς ποσί μου, ἐχόμενα τρίβου σκάνδαλον ἔθεντό μοι· διάψαλμα.
6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7Εἶπα τῷ Κυρίῳ, Θεός μου εἶ σὺ· ἐνώτισαι, Κύριε, τὴν φωνὴν τῆς δεήσεώς μου.
7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8Κύριε Κύριε, δύναμις τῆς σωτηρίας μου, ἐπεσκίασας ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν μου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πολέμου.
8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there .
9Μὴ παραδῷς με, Κύριε, ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιθυμίας μου ἁμαρτωλῷ· διελογίσαντο κατʼ ἐμοῦ, μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς με, μή ποτε ὑψωθῶσι· διάψαλμα.
9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10Ἡ κεφαλὴ τοῦ κυκλώματος αὐτῶν, κόπος τῶν χειλέων αὐτῶν καλύψει αὐτούς.
10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11Πεσοῦνται ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ἄνθρακες πυρὸς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ καταβαλεῖς αὐτοὺς ἐν ταλαιπωρίαις, οὐ μὴ ὑποστῶσιν.
11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12Ἀνὴρ γλωσσώδης οὐ κατευθυνθήσεται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· ἄνδρα ἄδικον κακὰ θηρεύσει εἰς καταφθοράν.
12Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee .
13Ἔγνων ὅτι ποιήσει Κύριος τὴν κρίσιν τοῦ πτωχοῦ, καὶ τὴν δίκην τῶν πενήτων.
13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14Πλὴν δίκαιοι ἐξομολογήσονται τῷ ὀνόματί σου, κατοικήσουσιν εὐθεῖς σὺν τῷ προσώπῳ σου.
14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
