Psalms 109
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Holde not thy tongue, O God of my praise.
εἰς τὸ τέλος τῷ Δαυιδ ψαλμός ὁ θεός τὴν αἴνεσίν μου μὴ παρασιωπήσῃς
2 For the mouth of the wicked, and the mouth full of deceite are opened vpon me: they haue spoken to me with a lying tongue.
ὅτι στόμα ἁμαρτωλοῦ καὶ στόμα δολίου ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἠνοίχθη ἐλάλησαν κατ’ ἐμοῦ γλώσσῃ δολίᾳ
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
καὶ λόγοις μίσους ἐκύκλωσάν με καὶ ἐπολέμησάν με δωρεάν
4 For my friendship they were mine aduersaries, but I gaue my selfe to praier.
ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀγαπᾶν με ἐνδιέβαλλόν με ἐγὼ δὲ προσευχόμην
5 And they haue rewarded me euil for good, and hatred for my friendship.
καὶ ἔθεντο κατ’ ἐμοῦ κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν καὶ μῖσος ἀντὶ τῆς ἀγαπήσεώς μου
6 Set thou the wicked ouer him, and let the aduersarie stand at his right hand.
κατάστησον ἐπ’ αὐτὸν ἁμαρτωλόν καὶ διάβολος στήτω ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ
7 Whe he shalbe iudged, let him be condemned, and let his praier be turned into sinne.
ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαι αὐτὸν ἐξέλθοι καταδεδικασμένος καὶ ἡ προσευχὴ αὐτοῦ γενέσθω εἰς ἁμαρτίαν
8 Let his daies be fewe, and let another take his charge.
γενηθήτωσαν αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτοῦ ὀλίγαι καὶ τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν αὐτοῦ λάβοι ἕτερος
9 Let his children be fatherlesse, and his wife a widowe.
γενηθήτωσαν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ὀρφανοὶ καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ χήρα
10 Let his children be vagabonds and beg and seeke bread, comming out of their places destroyed.
σαλευόμενοι μεταναστήτωσαν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπαιτησάτωσαν ἐκβληθήτωσαν ἐκ τῶν οἰκοπέδων αὐτῶν
11 Let the extortioner catch al that he hath, and let the strangers spoile his labour.
ἐξερευνησάτω δανειστὴς πάντα ὅσα ὑπάρχει αὐτῷ διαρπασάτωσαν ἀλλότριοι τοὺς πόνους αὐτοῦ
12 Let there be none to extend mercie vnto him: neither let there be any to shewe mercie vpon his fatherlesse children.
μὴ ὑπαρξάτω αὐτῷ ἀντιλήμπτωρ μηδὲ γενηθήτω οἰκτίρμων τοῖς ὀρφανοῖς αὐτοῦ
13 Let his posteritie be destroied, and in the generation following let their name be put out.
γενηθήτω τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ εἰς ἐξολέθρευσιν ἐν γενεᾷ μιᾷ ἐξαλειφθήτω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ
14 Let the iniquitie of his fathers bee had in remembrance with the Lord: and let not the sinne of his mother be done away.
ἀναμνησθείη ἡ ἀνομία τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ ἡ ἁμαρτία τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ μὴ ἐξαλειφθείη
15 But let them alway be before the Lord, that he may cut off their memorial from ye earth.
γενηθήτωσαν ἔναντι κυρίου διὰ παντός καὶ ἐξολεθρευθείη ἐκ γῆς τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν
16 Because he remembred not to shew mercie, but persecuted the afflicted and poore man, and the sorowfull hearted to slay him.
ἀνθ’ ὧν οὐκ ἐμνήσθη τοῦ ποιῆσαι ἔλεος καὶ κατεδίωξεν ἄνθρωπον πένητα καὶ πτωχὸν καὶ κατανενυγμένον τῇ καρδίᾳ τοῦ θανατῶσαι
17 As he loued cursing, so shall it come vnto him, and as he loued not blessing, so shall it be farre from him.
καὶ ἠγάπησεν κατάραν καὶ ἥξει αὐτῷ καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν εὐλογίαν καὶ μακρυνθήσεται ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ
18 As he clothed himselfe with cursing like a rayment, so shall it come into his bowels like water, and like oyle into his bones.
καὶ ἐνεδύσατο κατάραν ὡς ἱμάτιον καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὡς ὕδωρ εἰς τὰ ἔγκατα αὐτοῦ καὶ ὡσεὶ ἔλαιον ἐν τοῖς ὀστέοις αὐτοῦ
19 Let it be vnto him as a garment to couer him, and for a girdle, wherewith he shalbe alway girded.
γενηθήτω αὐτῷ ὡς ἱμάτιον ὃ περιβάλλεται καὶ ὡσεὶ ζώνη ἣν διὰ παντὸς περιζώννυται
20 Let this be the rewarde of mine aduersarie from the Lord, and of them, that speake euill against my soule.
τοῦτο τὸ ἔργον τῶν ἐνδιαβαλλόντων με παρὰ κυρίου καὶ τῶν λαλούντων πονηρὰ κατὰ τῆς ψυχῆς μου
21 But thou, O Lord my God, deale with me according vnto thy Name: deliuer me, (for thy mercie is good)
καὶ σύ κύριε κύριε ποίησον μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἔλεος ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου ὅτι χρηστὸν τὸ ἔλεός σου
22 Because I am poore and needie, and mine heart is wounded within me.
ῥῦσαί με ὅτι πτωχὸς καὶ πένης ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ ἡ καρδία μου τετάρακται ἐντός μου
23 I depart like the shadowe that declineth, and am shaken off as the grashopper.
ὡσεὶ σκιὰ ἐν τῷ ἐκκλῖναι αὐτὴν ἀντανῃρέθην ἐξετινάχθην ὡσεὶ ἀκρίδες
24 My knees are weake through fasting, and my flesh hath lost all fatnes.
τὰ γόνατά μου ἠσθένησαν ἀπὸ νηστείας καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου ἠλλοιώθη δῑ ἔλαιον
25 I became also a rebuke vnto them: they that looked vpon me, shaked their heads.
καὶ ἐγὼ ἐγενήθην ὄνειδος αὐτοῖς εἴδοσάν με ἐσάλευσαν κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν
26 Helpe me, O Lord my God: saue me according to thy mercie.
βοήθησόν μοι κύριε ὁ θεός μου σῶσόν με κατὰ τὸ ἔλεός σου
27 And they shall know, that this is thine hand, and that thou, Lord, hast done it.
καὶ γνώτωσαν ὅτι ἡ χείρ σου αὕτη καὶ σύ κύριε ἐποίησας αὐτήν
28 Though they curse, yet thou wilt blesse: they shall arise and be confounded, but thy seruant shall reioyce.
καταράσονται αὐτοί καὶ σὺ εὐλογήσεις οἱ ἐπανιστανόμενοί μοι αἰσχυνθήτωσαν ὁ δὲ δοῦλός σου εὐφρανθήσεται
29 Let mine aduersaries be clothed with shame, and let them couer themselues with their confusion, as with a cloke.
ἐνδυσάσθωσαν οἱ ἐνδιαβάλλοντές με ἐντροπὴν καὶ περιβαλέσθωσαν ὡσεὶ διπλοΐδα αἰσχύνην αὐτῶν
30 I will giue thankes vnto the Lord greatly with my mouth and praise him among ye multitude.
ἐξομολογήσομαι τῷ κυρίῳ σφόδρα ἐν τῷ στόματί μου καὶ ἐν μέσῳ πολλῶν αἰνέσω αὐτόν
31 For he will stand at the right hand of the poore, to saue him from them that woulde condemne his soule.
ὅτι παρέστη ἐκ δεξιῶν πένητος τοῦ σῶσαι ἐκ τῶν καταδιωκόντων τὴν ψυχήν μου
