< Ψαλμοί 77 >
1 εἰς τὸ τέλος ὑπὲρ Ιδιθουν τῷ Ασαφ ψαλμός φωνῇ μου πρὸς κύριον ἐκέκραξα φωνῇ μου πρὸς τὸν θεόν καὶ προσέσχεν μοι
Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.
2 ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεώς μου τὸν θεὸν ἐξεζήτησα ταῖς χερσίν μου νυκτὸς ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἠπατήθην ἀπηνήνατο παρακληθῆναι ἡ ψυχή μου
In the day of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be comforted:
3 ἐμνήσθην τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ εὐφράνθην ἠδολέσχησα καὶ ὠλιγοψύχησεν τὸ πνεῦμά μου διάψαλμα
I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.
4 προκατελάβοντο φυλακὰς οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἐταράχθην καὶ οὐκ ἐλάλησα
My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.
5 διελογισάμην ἡμέρας ἀρχαίας καὶ ἔτη αἰώνια ἐμνήσθην καὶ ἐμελέτησα
I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.
6 νυκτὸς μετὰ τῆς καρδίας μου ἠδολέσχουν καὶ ἔσκαλλεν τὸ πνεῦμά μου
And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.
7 μὴ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας ἀπώσεται κύριος καὶ οὐ προσθήσει τοῦ εὐδοκῆσαι ἔτι
Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?
8 ἢ εἰς τέλος τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἀποκόψει ἀπὸ γενεᾶς εἰς γενεάν
Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?
9 ἢ ἐπιλήσεται τοῦ οἰκτιρῆσαι ὁ θεὸς ἢ συνέξει ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ τοὺς οἰκτιρμοὺς αὐτοῦ διάψαλμα
Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?
10 καὶ εἶπα νῦν ἠρξάμην αὕτη ἡ ἀλλοίωσις τῆς δεξιᾶς τοῦ ὑψίστου
And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High.
11 ἐμνήσθην τῶν ἔργων κυρίου ὅτι μνησθήσομαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς τῶν θαυμασίων σου
I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.
12 καὶ μελετήσω ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔργοις σου καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασίν σου ἀδολεσχήσω
And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.
13 ὁ θεός ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ ἡ ὁδός σου τίς θεὸς μέγας ὡς ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν
Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God?
14 σὺ εἶ ὁ θεὸς ὁ ποιῶν θαυμάσια ἐγνώρισας ἐν τοῖς λαοῖς τὴν δύναμίν σου
Thou art the God that dost wonders. Thou hast made thy power known among the nations:
15 ἐλυτρώσω ἐν τῷ βραχίονί σου τὸν λαόν σου τοὺς υἱοὺς Ιακωβ καὶ Ιωσηφ διάψαλμα
With thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph.
16 εἴδοσάν σε ὕδατα ὁ θεός εἴδοσάν σε ὕδατα καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν καὶ ἐταράχθησαν ἄβυσσοι πλῆθος ἤχους ὑδάτων
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.
17 φωνὴν ἔδωκαν αἱ νεφέλαι καὶ γὰρ τὰ βέλη σου διαπορεύονται
Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound. For thy arrows pass:
18 φωνὴ τῆς βροντῆς σου ἐν τῷ τροχῷ ἔφαναν αἱ ἀστραπαί σου τῇ οἰκουμένῃ ἐσαλεύθη καὶ ἔντρομος ἐγενήθη ἡ γῆ
The voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.
19 ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ ἡ ὁδός σου καὶ αἱ τρίβοι σου ἐν ὕδασι πολλοῖς καὶ τὰ ἴχνη σου οὐ γνωσθήσονται
Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known.
20 ὡδήγησας ὡς πρόβατα τὸν λαόν σου ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ καὶ Ααρων
Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
