Psalms 31
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me.
εἰς τὸ τέλος ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ ἐκστάσεως ἐπὶ σοί κύριε ἤλπισα μὴ καταισχυνθείην εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ σου ῥῦσαί με καὶ ἐξελοῦ με
2 Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.
κλῖνον πρός με τὸ οὖς σου τάχυνον τοῦ ἐξελέσθαι με γενοῦ μοι εἰς θεὸν ὑπερασπιστὴν καὶ εἰς οἶκον καταφυγῆς τοῦ σῶσαί με
3 For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou, For Thy name's sake lead me and tend me.
ὅτι κραταίωμά μου καὶ καταφυγή μου εἶ σὺ καὶ ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου ὁδηγήσεις με καὶ διαθρέψεις με
4 Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For Thou [art] my strength.
ἐξάξεις με ἐκ παγίδος ταύτης ἧς ἔκρυψάν μοι ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ ὑπερασπιστής μου
5 Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth.
εἰς χεῖράς σου παραθήσομαι τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐλυτρώσω με κύριε ὁ θεὸς τῆς ἀληθείας
6 I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident.
ἐμίσησας τοὺς διαφυλάσσοντας ματαιότητας διὰ κενῆς ἐγὼ δὲ ἐπὶ τῷ κυρίῳ ἤλπισα
7 I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul.
ἀγαλλιάσομαι καὶ εὐφρανθήσομαι ἐπὶ τῷ ἐλέει σου ὅτι ἐπεῖδες τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου ἔσωσας ἐκ τῶν ἀναγκῶν τὴν ψυχήν μου
8 And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place.
καὶ οὐ συνέκλεισάς με εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθροῦ ἔστησας ἐν εὐρυχώρῳ τοὺς πόδας μου
9 Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress [is] to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.
ἐλέησόν με κύριε ὅτι θλίβομαι ἐταράχθη ἐν θυμῷ ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἡ ψυχή μου καὶ ἡ γαστήρ μου
10 For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.
ὅτι ἐξέλιπεν ἐν ὀδύνῃ ἡ ζωή μου καὶ τὰ ἔτη μου ἐν στεναγμοῖς ἠσθένησεν ἐν πτωχείᾳ ἡ ἰσχύς μου καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ μου ἐταράχθησαν
11 Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without — fled from me.
παρὰ πάντας τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἐγενήθην ὄνειδος καὶ τοῖς γείτοσίν μου σφόδρα καὶ φόβος τοῖς γνωστοῖς μου οἱ θεωροῦντές με ἔξω ἔφυγον ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ
12 I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.
ἐπελήσθην ὡσεὶ νεκρὸς ἀπὸ καρδίας ἐγενήθην ὡσεὶ σκεῦος ἀπολωλός
13 For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear [is] round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,
ὅτι ἤκουσα ψόγον πολλῶν παροικούντων κυκλόθεν ἐν τῷ ἐπισυναχθῆναι αὐτοὺς ἅμα ἐπ’ ἐμὲ τοῦ λαβεῖν τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐβουλεύσαντο
14 And I on Thee — I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, 'Thou [art] my God.'
ἐγὼ δὲ ἐπὶ σὲ ἤλπισα κύριε εἶπα σὺ εἶ ὁ θεός μου
15 In Thy hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.
ἐν ταῖς χερσίν σου οἱ καιροί μου ῥῦσαί με ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθρῶν μου καὶ ἐκ τῶν καταδιωκόντων με
16 Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness.
ἐπίφανον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ τὸν δοῦλόν σου σῶσόν με ἐν τῷ ἐλέει σου
17 O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
κύριε μὴ καταισχυνθείην ὅτι ἐπεκαλεσάμην σε αἰσχυνθείησαν οἱ ἀσεβεῖς καὶ καταχθείησαν εἰς ᾅδου (Sheol h7585)
18 Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.
ἄλαλα γενηθήτω τὰ χείλη τὰ δόλια τὰ λαλοῦντα κατὰ τοῦ δικαίου ἀνομίαν ἐν ὑπερηφανίᾳ καὶ ἐξουδενώσει
19 How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee,
ὡς πολὺ τὸ πλῆθος τῆς χρηστότητός σου κύριε ἧς ἔκρυψας τοῖς φοβουμένοις σε ἐξειργάσω τοῖς ἐλπίζουσιν ἐπὶ σὲ ἐναντίον τῶν υἱῶν τῶν ἀνθρώπων
20 Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.
κατακρύψεις αὐτοὺς ἐν ἀποκρύφῳ τοῦ προσώπου σου ἀπὸ ταραχῆς ἀνθρώπων σκεπάσεις αὐτοὺς ἐν σκηνῇ ἀπὸ ἀντιλογίας γλωσσῶν
21 Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks.
εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὅτι ἐθαυμάστωσεν τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει περιοχῆς
22 And I — I have said in my haste, 'I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,' But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee.
ἐγὼ δὲ εἶπα ἐν τῇ ἐκστάσει μου ἀπέρριμμαι ἄρα ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν σου διὰ τοῦτο εἰσήκουσας τῆς φωνῆς τῆς δεήσεώς μου ἐν τῷ κεκραγέναι με πρὸς σέ
23 Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer.
ἀγαπήσατε τὸν κύριον πάντες οἱ ὅσιοι αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἀληθείας ἐκζητεῖ κύριος καὶ ἀνταποδίδωσιν τοῖς περισσῶς ποιοῦσιν ὑπερηφανίαν
24 Be strong, and He strengtheneth your heart, All ye who are waiting for Jehovah!
ἀνδρίζεσθε καὶ κραταιούσθω ἡ καρδία ὑμῶν πάντες οἱ ἐλπίζοντες ἐπὶ κύριον
