¹[] <<Ψαλμος του Δαβιδ.>> Δικασον, Κυριε, τους δικαζομενους μετ' εμου· πολεμησον τους πολεμουντας με.

¹Contend, Yahweh, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.

²Αναλαβε οπλον και ασπιδα και αναστηθι εις βοηθειαν μου.

²Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.

³Και δραξον το δορυ και συγκλεισον την οδον των καταδιωκοντων με· ειπε εις την ψυχην μου, Εγω ειμαι η σωτηρια σου.

³Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, “I am your salvation.”

⁴Ας αισχυνθωσι και ας εντραπωσιν οι ζητουντες την ψυχην μου· ας στραφωσιν εις τα οπισω και ας αισχυνθωσιν οι βουλευομενοι το κακον μου.

⁴Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.

⁵Ας ηναι ως λεπτον αχυρον κατα προσωπον ανεμου, και αγγελος Κυριου ας διωκη αυτους.

⁵Let them be as chaff before the wind, Yahweh’s angel driving them on.

⁶Ας ηναι η οδος αυτων σκοτος και ολισθημα, και αγγελος Κυριου ας καταδιωκη αυτους.

⁶Let their way be dark and slippery, Yahweh’s angel pursuing them.

⁷Διοτι αναιτιως εκρυψαν δι' εμε την παγιδα αυτων εν λακκω· αναιτιως εσκαψαν αυτον δια την ψυχην μου.

⁷For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.

⁸Ας ελθη επ' αυτον ολεθρος απροσδοκητος· και η παγις αυτου, την οποιαν εκρυψεν, ας συλλαβη αυτον· ας πεση εις αυτην εν ολεθρω.

⁸Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.

⁹Η δε ψυχη μου θελει αγαλλεσθαι εις τον Κυριον, θελει χαιρει εις την σωτηριαν αυτου.

⁹My soul shall be joyful in Yahweh. It shall rejoice in his salvation.

¹⁰Παντα τα οστα μου θελουσιν ειπει, Κυριε, τις ομοιος σου, οστις ελευθερονεις τον πτωχον απο του ισχυροτερου αυτου, και τον πτωχον και τον πενητα απο του διαρπαζοντος αυτον;

¹⁰All my bones shall say, “Yahweh, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”

¹¹[] Σηκωθεντες μαρτυρες αδικοι, με ηρωτων περι πραγματων, τα οποια εγω δεν ηξευρον·

¹¹Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I don’t know about.

¹²Ανταπεδωκαν εις εμε κακον αντι καλου· στερησιν εις την ψυχην μου.

¹²They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.

¹³Εγω δε, οτε αυτοι ησαν εν θλιψει, ενεδυομην σακκον· εταπεινωσα εν νηστεια την ψυχην μου· και η προσευχη μου επεστρεφεν εις τον κολπον μου.

¹³But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting. My prayer returned into my own bosom.

¹⁴Εφερομην ως προς φιλον, ως προς αδελφον μου· εκυπτον σκυθρωπαζων, ως ο πενθων δια την μητερα αυτου.

¹⁴I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.

¹⁵Αλλ' αυτοι εχαρησαν δια την συμφοραν μου και συνηχθησαν· συνηχθησαν εναντιον μου οι χαμερπεις, και εγω δεν ηξευρον· με εξεσχιζον και δεν επαυον·

¹⁵But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I didn’t know it. They tore at me, and didn’t cease.

¹⁶Μετα υποκριτικων χλευαστων εν συμποσιοις ετριζον κατ' εμου τους οδοντας αυτων.

¹⁶Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed their teeth at me.

¹⁷[] Κυριε, ποτε θελεις ιδει; ελευθερωσον την ψυχην μου απο του ολεθρου αυτων, την μεμονωμενην μου εκ των λεοντων.

¹⁷Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.

¹⁸Εγω θελω σε υμνει εν μεγαλη συναξει· μεταξυ πολυαριθμου λαου θελω σε υμνει.

¹⁸I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.

¹⁹Ας μη χαρωσιν επ' εμε οι εχθρευομενοι με αδικως· οι μισουντες με αναιτιως ας μη νευωσι με τους οφθαλμους.

¹⁹Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.

²⁰Διοτι δεν ελαλουν ειρηνην, αλλα εμελετων δολους κατα των ησυχαζοντων επι της γης·

²⁰For they don’t speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.

²¹και επλατυναν κατ' εμου το στομα αυτων, Λεγοντες, Ευγε, ευγε· ειδεν ο οφθαλμος ημων.

²¹Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!”

²²Ειδες, Κυριε· μη σιωπησης· Κυριε, μη απομακρυνθης απ' εμου.

²²You have seen it, Yahweh. Don’t keep silent. Lord, don’t be far from me.

²³Εγερθητι και εξυπνησον δια την κρισιν μου, Θεε μου και Κυριε μου, δια την δικην μου.

²³Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God! My Lord, contend for me!

²⁴Κρινον με, Κυριε ο Θεος μου, κατα την δικαιοσυνην σου, και ας μη χαρωσιν επ' εμε.

²⁴Vindicate me, Yahweh my God, according to your righteousness. Don’t let them gloat over me.

²⁵Ας μη ειπωσιν εν ταις καρδιαις αυτων, Ευγε, ψυχη ημων. μηδε ας ειπωσι, Κατεπιομεν αυτον.

²⁵Don’t let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!” Don’t let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”

²⁶Ας αισχυνθωσι και ας εντραπωσιν ομου οι επιχαιροντες εις το κακον μου· ας ενδυθωσιν εντροπην και ονειδος οι μεγαλαυχουντες κατ' εμου.

²⁶Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.

²⁷Ας ευφρανθωσι και ας χαρωσιν οι θελοντες την δικαιοσυνην μου· και διαπαντος ας λεγωσιν, Ας μεγαλυνθη ο Κυριος, οστις θελει την ειρηνην του δουλου αυτου.

²⁷Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause. Yes, let them say continually, “Yahweh be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!”

²⁸Και η γλωσσα μου θελει μελετα την δικαιοσυνην σου και τον επαινον σου ολην την ημεραν.
