Ψαλμοί 102
1 προσευχὴ τῷ πτωχῷ ὅταν ἀκηδιάσῃ καὶ ἐναντίον κυρίου ἐκχέῃ τὴν δέησιν αὐτοῦ εἰσάκουσον κύριε τῆς προσευχῆς μου καὶ ἡ κραυγή μου πρὸς σὲ ἐλθάτω
A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come to thee.
2 μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ θλίβωμαι κλῖνον τὸ οὖς σου πρός με ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπικαλέσωμαί σε ταχὺ εἰσάκουσόν μου
Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thy ear to me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
3 ὅτι ἐξέλιπον ὡσεὶ καπνὸς αἱ ἡμέραι μου καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ μου ὡσεὶ φρύγιον συνεφρύγησαν
For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
4 ἐπλήγη ὡσεὶ χόρτος καὶ ἐξηράνθη ἡ καρδία μου ὅτι ἐπελαθόμην τοῦ φαγεῖν τὸν ἄρτον μου
My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
5 ἀπὸ φωνῆς τοῦ στεναγμοῦ μου ἐκολλήθη τὸ ὀστοῦν μου τῇ σαρκί μου
By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
6 ὡμοιώθην πελεκᾶνι ἐρημικῷ ἐγενήθην ὡσεὶ νυκτικόραξ ἐν οἰκοπέδῳ
I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
7 ἠγρύπνησα καὶ ἐγενήθην ὡσεὶ στρουθίον μονάζον ἐπὶ δώματι
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the housetop.
8 ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ὠνείδιζόν με οἱ ἐχθροί μου καὶ οἱ ἐπαινοῦντές με κατ’ ἐμοῦ ὤμνυον
My enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
9 ὅτι σποδὸν ὡσεὶ ἄρτον ἔφαγον καὶ τὸ πόμα μου μετὰ κλαυθμοῦ ἐκίρνων
For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
10 ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς ὀργῆς σου καὶ τοῦ θυμοῦ σου ὅτι ἐπάρας κατέρραξάς με
Because of thy indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
11 αἱ ἡμέραι μου ὡσεὶ σκιὰ ἐκλίθησαν καὶ ἐγὼ ὡσεὶ χόρτος ἐξηράνθην
My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
12 σὺ δέ κύριε εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένεις καὶ τὸ μνημόσυνόν σου εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν
But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance to all generations.
13 σὺ ἀναστὰς οἰκτιρήσεις τὴν Σιων ὅτι καιρὸς τοῦ οἰκτιρῆσαι αὐτήν ὅτι ἥκει καιρός
Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
14 ὅτι εὐδόκησαν οἱ δοῦλοί σου τοὺς λίθους αὐτῆς καὶ τὸν χοῦν αὐτῆς οἰκτιρήσουσιν
For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour her dust.
15 καὶ φοβηθήσονται τὰ ἔθνη τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου καὶ πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς τὴν δόξαν σου
So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
16 ὅτι οἰκοδομήσει κύριος τὴν Σιων καὶ ὀφθήσεται ἐν τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ
When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
17 ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ τὴν προσευχὴν τῶν ταπεινῶν καὶ οὐκ ἐξουδένωσεν τὴν δέησιν αὐτῶν
He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
18 γραφήτω αὕτη εἰς γενεὰν ἑτέραν καὶ λαὸς ὁ κτιζόμενος αἰνέσει τὸν κύριον
This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
19 ὅτι ἐξέκυψεν ἐξ ὕψους ἁγίου αὐτοῦ κύριος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐπέβλεψεν
For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven hath the LORD beheld the earth;
20 τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι τὸν στεναγμὸν τῶν πεπεδημένων τοῦ λῦσαι τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν τεθανατωμένων
To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
21 τοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαι ἐν Σιων τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου καὶ τὴν αἴνεσιν αὐτοῦ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ
To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
22 ἐν τῷ συναχθῆναι λαοὺς ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ βασιλείας τοῦ δουλεύειν τῷ κυρίῳ
When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
23 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ἐν ὁδῷ ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ τὴν ὀλιγότητα τῶν ἡμερῶν μου ἀνάγγειλόν μοι
He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
24 μὴ ἀναγάγῃς με ἐν ἡμίσει ἡμερῶν μου ἐν γενεᾷ γενεῶν τὰ ἔτη σου
I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.
25 κατ’ ἀρχὰς σύ κύριε τὴν γῆν ἐθεμελίωσας καὶ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σού εἰσιν οἱ οὐρανοί
Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
26 αὐτοὶ ἀπολοῦνται σὺ δὲ διαμενεῖς καὶ πάντες ὡς ἱμάτιον παλαιωθήσονται καὶ ὡσεὶ περιβόλαιον ἀλλάξεις αὐτούς καὶ ἀλλαγήσονται
They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall grow old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
27 σὺ δὲ ὁ αὐτὸς εἶ καὶ τὰ ἔτη σου οὐκ ἐκλείψουσιν
But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
28 οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν δούλων σου κατασκηνώσουσιν καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατευθυνθήσεται
The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
