Ψαλμοί 109

1 εἰς τὸ τέλος τῷ Δαυιδ ψαλμός ὁ θεός τὴν αἴνεσίν μου μὴ παρασιωπήσῃς

To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm. O God of my praise, be not silent:

2 ὅτι στόμα ἁμαρτωλοῦ καὶ στόμα δολίου ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἠνοίχθη ἐλάλησαν κατ’ ἐμοῦ γλώσσῃ δολίᾳ

For the mouth of the wicked [man] and the mouth of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue,

3 καὶ λόγοις μίσους ἐκύκλωσάν με καὶ ἐπολέμησάν με δωρεάν

And with words of hatred have they encompassed me; and they fight against me without a cause.

4 ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀγαπᾶν με ἐνδιέβαλλόν με ἐγὼ δὲ προσευχόμην

For my love they are mine adversaries; but I [give myself unto] prayer.

5 καὶ ἔθεντο κατ’ ἐμοῦ κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν καὶ μῖσος ἀντὶ τῆς ἀγαπήσεώς μου

And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

6 κατάστησον ἐπ’ αὐτὸν ἁμαρτωλόν καὶ διάβολος στήτω ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ

Set a wicked [man] over him, and let [the] adversary stand at his right hand;

7 ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαι αὐτὸν ἐξέλθοι καταδεδικασμένος καὶ ἡ προσευχὴ αὐτοῦ γενέσθω εἰς ἁμαρτίαν

When he shall be judged, let him go out guilty, and let his prayer become sin;

8 γενηθήτωσαν αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτοῦ ὀλίγαι καὶ τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν αὐτοῦ λάβοι ἕτερος

Let his days be few, let another take his office;

9 γενηθήτωσαν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ὀρφανοὶ καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ χήρα

Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow;

10 σαλευόμενοι μεταναστήτωσαν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπαιτησάτωσαν ἐκβληθήτωσαν ἐκ τῶν οἰκοπέδων αὐτῶν

Let his sons be vagabonds and beg, and let them seek [their bread] far from their desolate places;

11 ἐξερευνησάτω δανειστὴς πάντα ὅσα ὑπάρχει αὐτῷ διαρπασάτωσαν ἀλλότριοι τοὺς πόνους αὐτοῦ

Let the usurer cast the net over all that he hath, and let strangers despoil his labour;

12 μὴ ὑπαρξάτω αὐτῷ ἀντιλήμπτωρ μηδὲ γενηθήτω οἰκτίρμων τοῖς ὀρφανοῖς αὐτοῦ

Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children;

13 γενηθήτω τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ εἰς ἐξολέθρευσιν ἐν γενεᾷ μιᾷ ἐξαλειφθήτω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ

Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out:

14 ἀναμνησθείη ἡ ἀνομία τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ ἡ ἁμαρτία τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ μὴ ἐξαλειφθείη

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out;

15 γενηθήτωσαν ἔναντι κυρίου διὰ παντός καὶ ἐξολεθρευθείη ἐκ γῆς τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν

Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth:

16 ἀνθ’ ὧν οὐκ ἐμνήσθη τοῦ ποιῆσαι ἔλεος καὶ κατεδίωξεν ἄνθρωπον πένητα καὶ πτωχὸν καὶ κατανενυγμένον τῇ καρδίᾳ τοῦ θανατῶσαι

Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.

17 καὶ ἠγάπησεν κατάραν καὶ ἥξει αὐτῷ καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν εὐλογίαν καὶ μακρυνθήσεται ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ

And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him.

18 καὶ ἐνεδύσατο κατάραν ὡς ἱμάτιον καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὡς ὕδωρ εἰς τὰ ἔγκατα αὐτοῦ καὶ ὡσεὶ ἔλαιον ἐν τοῖς ὀστέοις αὐτοῦ

And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;

19 γενηθήτω αὐτῷ ὡς ἱμάτιον ὃ περιβάλλεται καὶ ὡσεὶ ζώνη ἣν διὰ παντὸς περιζώννυται

Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.

20 τοῦτο τὸ ἔργον τῶν ἐνδιαβαλλόντων με παρὰ κυρίου καὶ τῶν λαλούντων πονηρὰ κατὰ τῆς ψυχῆς μου

Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

21 καὶ σύ κύριε κύριε ποίησον μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἔλεος ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου ὅτι χρηστὸν τὸ ἔλεός σου

But do thou for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:

22 ῥῦσαί με ὅτι πτωχὸς καὶ πένης ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ ἡ καρδία μου τετάρακται ἐντός μου

For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

23 ὡσεὶ σκιὰ ἐν τῷ ἐκκλῖναι αὐτὴν ἀντανῃρέθην ἐξετινάχθην ὡσεὶ ἀκρίδες

I am gone like a shadow when it lengtheneth; I am tossed about like the locust;

24 τὰ γόνατά μου ἠσθένησαν ἀπὸ νηστείας καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου ἠλλοιώθη δῑ ἔλαιον

My knees are failing through fasting, and my flesh hath lost its fatness;

25 καὶ ἐγὼ ἐγενήθην ὄνειδος αὐτοῖς εἴδοσάν με ἐσάλευσαν κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν

And I am become a reproach unto them; [when] they look upon me they shake their heads.

26 βοήθησόν μοι κύριε ὁ θεός μου σῶσόν με κατὰ τὸ ἔλεός σου

Help me, Jehovah my God; save me according to thy loving-kindness:

27 καὶ γνώτωσαν ὅτι ἡ χείρ σου αὕτη καὶ σύ κύριε ἐποίησας αὐτήν

That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Jehovah, hast done it.

28 καταράσονται αὐτοί καὶ σὺ εὐλογήσεις οἱ ἐπανιστανόμενοί μοι αἰσχυνθήτωσαν ὁ δὲ δοῦλός σου εὐφρανθήσεται

Let them curse, but bless thou; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice.

29 ἐνδυσάσθωσαν οἱ ἐνδιαβάλλοντές με ἐντροπὴν καὶ περιβαλέσθωσαν ὡσεὶ διπλοΐδα αἰσχύνην αὐτῶν

Let mine adversaries be clothed with confusion, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.

30 ἐξομολογήσομαι τῷ κυρίῳ σφόδρα ἐν τῷ στόματί μου καὶ ἐν μέσῳ πολλῶν αἰνέσω αὐτόν

I will greatly celebrate Jehovah with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

31 ὅτι παρέστη ἐκ δεξιῶν πένητος τοῦ σῶσαι ἐκ τῶν καταδιωκόντων τὴν ψυχήν μου

For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.
