< Ψαλμοί 86 >
1 προσευχὴ τῷ Δαυιδ κλῖνον κύριε τὸ οὖς σου καὶ ἐπάκουσόν μου ὅτι πτωχὸς καὶ πένης εἰμὶ ἐγώ
“A prayer of David.” Incline, O Lord, thy ear, answer me; for poor and needy am I.
2 φύλαξον τὴν ψυχήν μου ὅτι ὅσιός εἰμι σῶσον τὸν δοῦλόν σου ὁ θεός μου τὸν ἐλπίζοντα ἐπὶ σέ
Preserve my soul; for I am pious: help thy servant, O thou my God, that trusteth in thee.
3 ἐλέησόν με κύριε ὅτι πρὸς σὲ κεκράξομαι ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν
Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee I call all the time.
4 εὔφρανον τὴν ψυχὴν τοῦ δούλου σου ὅτι πρὸς σέ κύριε ἦρα τὴν ψυχήν μου
Cause to rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift my soul.
5 ὅτι σύ κύριε χρηστὸς καὶ ἐπιεικὴς καὶ πολυέλεος πᾶσι τοῖς ἐπικαλουμένοις σε
For thou, O Lord, art good and forgiving, and abundant in kindness unto all that call on thee.
6 ἐνώτισαι κύριε τὴν προσευχήν μου καὶ πρόσχες τῇ φωνῇ τῆς δεήσεώς μου
Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεώς μου ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σέ ὅτι εἰσήκουσάς μου
On the day of my distress will I call on thee; for thou wilt answer me.
8 οὐκ ἔστιν ὅμοιός σοι ἐν θεοῖς κύριε καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν κατὰ τὰ ἔργα σου
There is none like unto thee among the Gods, O Lord; and there is nothing like thy works.
9 πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ὅσα ἐποίησας ἥξουσιν καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν ἐνώπιόν σου κύριε καὶ δοξάσουσιν τὸ ὄνομά σου
All the nations whom thou hast made shall come and bow themselves down before thee, O Lord; and they shall ascribe honor unto thy name.
10 ὅτι μέγας εἶ σὺ καὶ ποιῶν θαυμάσια σὺ εἶ ὁ θεὸς μόνος ὁ μέγας
For great art thou, and doing wondrous things: thou art God by thyself alone.
11 ὁδήγησόν με κύριε τῇ ὁδῷ σου καὶ πορεύσομαι ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου εὐφρανθήτω ἡ καρδία μου τοῦ φοβεῖσθαι τὸ ὄνομά σου
Teach me, O Lord, thy way; I will walk firmly in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι κύριε ὁ θεός μου ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου καὶ δοξάσω τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
I will thank thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will honor thy name for evermore.
13 ὅτι τὸ ἔλεός σου μέγα ἐπ’ ἐμὲ καὶ ἐρρύσω τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐξ ᾅδου κατωτάτου (Sheol )
For thy kindness is great toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the grave of the lower world. (Sheol )
14 ὁ θεός παράνομοι ἐπανέστησαν ἐπ’ ἐμέ καὶ συναγωγὴ κραταιῶν ἐζήτησαν τὴν ψυχήν μου καὶ οὐ προέθεντό σε ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν
O God, the presumptuous are risen up against me, and the assembly of the powerful wicked have sought after my life, and have not set thee before them.
15 καὶ σύ κύριε ὁ θεός οἰκτίρμων καὶ ἐλεήμων μακρόθυμος καὶ πολυέλεος καὶ ἀληθινός
But thou, O Lord, art God, full of mercy, and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in kindness and truth.
16 ἐπίβλεψον ἐπ’ ἐμὲ καὶ ἐλέησόν με δὸς τὸ κράτος σου τῷ παιδί σου καὶ σῶσον τὸν υἱὸν τῆς παιδίσκης σου
Oh turn unto me, and be gracious unto me: give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
17 ποίησον μετ’ ἐμοῦ σημεῖον εἰς ἀγαθόν καὶ ἰδέτωσαν οἱ μισοῦντές με καὶ αἰσχυνθήτωσαν ὅτι σύ κύριε ἐβοήθησάς μοι καὶ παρεκάλεσάς με
Display on me a sign for good, that those who hate me may see it, and be ashamed; because thou, Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me.
