< Psalms 119 >
1 (Yahweh is pleased with/Happy are) those about whom no one can say truthfully that they have done things that are wrong, those who always obey the laws of Yahweh.
Άλεφ. Μακάριοι οι άμωμοι εν οδώ· οι περιπατούντες εν τω νόμω του Κυρίου·
2 Yahweh is pleased with those who (obey his requirements/do what he has instructed them to do), those who request him with their entire inner beings to help them [to do that].
Μακάριοι οι φυλάττοντες τα μαρτύρια αυτού, οι εκζητούντες αυτόν εξ όλης καρδίας·
3 They do not do things that are wrong; they behave like Yahweh wants them to.
αυτοί βεβαίως δεν πράττουσιν ανομίαν· εν ταις οδοίς αυτού περιπατούσι.
4 Yahweh, you have given [us] (your principles of behavior/all the things that you have declared that we should do), [and you told us] to obey them carefully.
συ προσέταξας να φυλάττωνται ακριβώς αι εντολαί σου.
5 I desire that I will faithfully/always obey all (your statutes/that you have said that [we] should do).
Είθε να κατευθύνωνται αι οδοί μου, διά να φυλάττω τα διατάγματά σου
6 If I continually (heed/pay attention to) all (your commands/that you have commanded), I will not be disgraced/ashamed.
Τότε δεν θέλω αισχυνθή, όταν επιβλέπω εις πάντα τα προστάγματά σου.
7 When I learn [all of] (your regulations/the rules that you have given [to us)], I will praise you with a pure inner being [IDM].
Θέλω σε δοξολογεί εν ευθύτητι καρδίας, όταν μάθω τας κρίσεις της δικαιοσύνης σου.
8 I will obey all (your statutes/that you have decreed that [we] should do); do not desert/abandon me!
Τα διατάγματά σου θέλω φυλάττει· μη με εγκαταλίπης ολοκλήρως.
9 [I know] [RHQ] how a youth can (keep his life pure/avoid sinning); it is by obeying what you have told us to do.
Βεθ. Τίνι τρόπω θέλει καθαρίζει ο νέος την οδόν αυτού; φυλάττων τους λόγους σου.
10 I try to serve you with my entire inner being; do not allow me to (wander away from obeying/disobey) (your commands/what you have commanded).
Εξ όλης της καρδίας μου σε εξεζήτησα· με μη αφήσης να αποπλανηθώ από των προσταγμάτων σου.
11 I have (memorized/stored in my mind) [many of] (your words/what you have promised) in order that I will not sin against you.
Εν τη καρδία μου εφύλαξα τα λόγιά σου, διά να μη αμαρτάνω εις σε.
12 Yahweh, I praise you; teach me (your statutes/what you have declared).
Ευλογητός είσαι, Κύριε· δίδαξόν με τα διατάγματά σου.
13 I [MTY] tell others (the regulations/the rules that you have given [to us)].
Διά των χειλέων μου διηγήθην πάσας τας κρίσεις του στόματός σου.
14 I like to obey (your requirements/what you have instructed [us to do)]; I enjoy that more than being very rich.
Εν τη οδώ των μαρτυρίων σου ευφράνθην, ως διά πάντα τα πλούτη.
15 I will (study/think about) (your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do), and I will pay attention to what you have showed [me].

21 You rebuke those who are proud; cursed are those who disobey (your commands/what you have commanded).
Συ επετίμησας τους επικαταράτους υπερηφάνους, τους εκκλίνοντας από των προσταγμάτων σου.
22 Do not allow them to continue to insult and scorn me; [I request this] because I have obeyed what you have instructed us to do.
Σήκωσον απ' εμού το όνειδος και την καταφρόνησιν· διότι εφύλαξα τα μαρτύριά σου.
23 Rulers gather together and plan ways to harm me, but I will (meditate on/study) (your statutes/what you have decreed).
Άρχοντες τωόντι εκάθισαν και ελάλουν εναντίον μου· αλλ' ο δούλός σου εμελέτα εις τα διατάγματά σου.
24 I am delighted with (your requirements/what you have instructed [us to do)]; [it is as though] they are my advisors.
Τα μαρτυριά σου βεβαίως είναι η τρυφή μου και οι σύμβουλοί μου.
25 [I think that] I will soon die [IDM]; revive/heal me, as you have told me that you would.
Δάλεθ. Η ψυχή μου εκολλήθη εις το χώμα· ζωοποίησόν με κατά τον λόγον σου.
26 When I told you about my behavior, you answered me; teach me (your statutes/what you have decreed that we should do).

Την οδόν της αληθείας εξέλεξα· προ οφθαλμών μου έθεσα τας κρίσεις σου.
31 Yahweh, I try to carefully hold fast to what you have instructed [us to do]; do not [abandon me, with the result that] I would become disgraced.

32 I will eagerly obey [IDM] (your commands/what you have commanded), because you have enabled me to understand more [what you want me to do].

Οδήγησόν με εις την οδόν των προσταγμάτων σου· διότι ευφραίνομαι εις αυτήν.
36 Cause me to want to obey your rules and not to want to become rich.
Κλίνον την καρδίαν μου εις τα μαρτύριά σου και μη εις πλεονεξίαν.
37 Do not allow me to look at things that are worthless, and allow me to continue to live, like you promised that you would do.
Απόστρεψον τους οφθαλμούς μου από του να βλέπωσι ματαιότητα· ζωοποίησόν με εν τη οδώ σου.
38 [Because] I serve you, do what you promised to do for me, which is what you also promise to do for [all] those who revere you.
Εκτέλεσον τον λόγον σου προς τον δούλον σου, όστις είναι δεδομένος εις τον φόβον σου.

Βάου. Και ας έλθη επ εμέ το έλεός σου, Κύριε, και η σωτηρία σου κατά τον λόγον σου.
42 After you do that, I will be able to reply to those who insult me, because I trust in (your word/what you have promised that you would do).
Τότε θέλω αποκριθή προς τον ονειδίζοντά με· διότι ελπίζω επί τον λόγον σου.
43 Always enable me to [LIT] speak your truth, because I have confidence in (your regulations/the rules that you have given us).

50 When I have been suffering, you comforted me; you did what you promised me, and that [PRS] revived me.

Οι οφθαλμοί μου απέκαμον διά τον λόγον σου, λέγοντες, Πότε θέλεις με παρηγορήσει;
83 I have become [as useless as] [MET] a wineskin that is [shriveled from hanging a long time] in the smoke [inside a house], but I have not forgotten (your statutes/what you have decreed that [we] should do).
Διότι έγεινα ως ασκός εν τω καπνώ· αλλά τα διατάγματά σου δεν ελησμόνησα.
84 How long must I wait? When will you punish those who (persecute/cause trouble for) me?
Πόσαι είναι αι ημέραι του δούλου σου; πότε θέλεις κάμει κρίσιν εναντίον των καταδιωκόντων με;
85 [It is as though] proud people have dug deep pits for me [to fall into], people who do not obey your laws.

Ζωοποίησόν με κατά το έλεός σου· και θέλω φυλάξει τα μαρτύρια του στόματός σου.
89 Yahweh, your words will last forever; they will last as long as heaven lasts.
Λάμεδ. Εις τον αιώνα, Κύριε, διαμένει ο λόγος σου εν τω ουρανώ·
90 You will faithfully [continue doing] ([for people who are not yet born/in every generation]) what you have (promised/said that you would do); you have put the earth in its place, and it remains firmly [there].
η αλήθειά σου εις γενεάν και γενεάν· εθεμελίωσας την γην, και διαμένει.

Κατά τας διατάξεις σου διαμένουσιν έως της σήμερον, διότι τα σύμπαντα είναι δούλοι σου.
92 If I had not been delighted [in obeying] your laws, I would have died because of what I was suffering.
Εάν ο νόμος σου δεν ήτο η τρυφή μου, τότε ήθελον χαθή εν τη θλίψει μου.
93 I will never forget (your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do), because as a result of [my obeying them] you have enabled me to [continue to] live.

Οι ασεβείς με περιέμενον διά να με αφανίσωσιν· αλλ' εγώ θέλω προσέχει εις τα μαρτύριά σου.
96 I have learned that there is a limit/end for everything, but what you command (has no limits/never ends).
Εις πάσαν τελειότητα είδον όριον· αλλ' ο νόμος σου είναι πλατύς σφόδρα.
97 I love your laws very much. I (meditate on/think about) them all during the day.
Μεμ. Πόσον αγαπώ τον νόμον σου· όλην την ημέραν είναι μελέτη μου.
98 Because I know (your commands/what you have commanded), and because I think about them all the time, I have become wiser than my enemies.
Διά των προσταγμάτων σου με έκαμες σοφώτερον των εχθρών μου, διότι είναι πάντοτε μετ' εμού.
99 I understand more than my teachers do, because I (meditate on/think about) (your requirements/what you have instructed us to do).

Από των κρίσεών σου δεν εξέκλινα· διότι συ με εδίδαξας.
103 [When I read] your words, they are like [MET] sweet things that I taste/eat, [yes], they are even sweeter than honey.
Πόσον γλυκείς είναι οι λόγοι σου εις τον ουρανίσκον μου· είναι υπέρ μέλι εις το στόμα μου.
104 Because [I have learned] (your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do), I am able to understand [many things]; therefore, I hate all evil things [that some people do].
Εκ των εντολών σου έγεινα συνετός· διά τούτο εμίσησα πάσαν οδόν ψεύδους.
105 Your words are [like] [MET] a lamp to guide me; they are [like] a light [MET] to show me the path [that I should walk on].
Νούν. Λύχνος εις τους πόδας μου είναι ο λόγος σου και φως εις τας τρίβους μου.
106 I have solemnly promised, and I am solemnly promising it again, that I will [always] obey your (regulations/rules that you have given to us), and they are [all] fair/just.
Ώμοσα και θέλω εμμένει να φυλάττω τας κρίσεις της δικαιοσύνης σου.

Εταλαιπωρήθην σφόδρα· Κύριε, ζωοποίησόν με κατά τον λόγον σου.
108 Yahweh, when I thank you while I pray, it is [like] [MET] a sacrifice to you; [please] accept it, and teach me your (regulations/rules that you have given to us).
Πρόσδεξαι, δέομαι, τας προαιρετικάς προσφοράς του στόματός μου, Κύριε· και δίδαξόν με τας κρίσεις σου.
109 [My enemies are] often trying to kill me [IDM], but I do not forget your laws.
Η ψυχή μου είναι πάντοτε εν κινδύνω· τον νόμον σου όμως δεν ελησμόνησα.
110 Wicked [people] have tried to seize me [like a hunter tries to catch an animal] with a trap [MET], but I have not disobeyed (your principles of behavior/what you declared that we should do).
Οι ασεβείς έστησαν εις εμέ παγίδα· αλλ' εγώ από των εντολών σου δεν εξέκλινα.
111 (Your requirements/What you have instructed us to do) are my possession forever; because of them [PRS], I am joyful.
Τα μαρτύριά σου εκληρονόμησα εις τον αιώνα· διότι ταύτα είναι η αγαλλίασις της καρδίας μου.
112 I (have decided/am determined) [IDM] to obey (your statutes/what you have decreed that [we] should do) until the day that I die [MTY].
Έκλινα την καρδίαν μου εις το να κάμνω τα διατάγματά σου πάντοτε μέχρι τέλους.
113 I hate people who are [only] partly committed to you, but I love your laws.
Σάμεχ. Εμίσησα τους διεστραμμένους στοχασμούς· τον δε νόμον σου ηγάπησα.
114 You are [like] a place where I can hide [from my enemies], and you are [like] a shield [MET] [behind which I am protected from them], and I trust in your promises.
Συ είσαι η σκέπη μου και η ασπίς μου· επί τον λόγον σου ελπίζω.
