1[] <<Εις τον πρωτον μουσικον. Ψαλμος του Δαβιδ.>> Μακαριος ο επιβλεπων εις τον πτωχον· εν ημερα θλιψεως θελει ελευθερωσει αυτον ο Κυριος.
1Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.
2Ο Κυριος θελει φυλαξει αυτον και διατηρησει την ζωην αυτου· μακαριος θελει εισθαι επι της γης· και δεν θελεις παραδωσει αυτον εις την επιθυμιαν των εχθρων αυτου.
2Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.
3Ο Κυριος θελει ενδυναμονει αυτον επι της κλινης της ασθενειας· εν τη αρρωστια αυτου συ θελεις στρονει ολην την κλινην αυτου.
3Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.
4Εγω ειπα, Κυριε, ελεησον με· ιασαι την ψυχην μου, διοτι ημαρτον εις σε.
4I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
5[] Οι εχθροι μου λεγουσι κακα περι εμου, Ποτε θελει αποθανει, και θελει απολεσθη το ονομα αυτου;
5My enemies speak evil against me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”
6Και εαν τις ερχηται να με ιδη, ομιλει ματαιοτητα· η καρδια αυτου συναγει εις εαυτην ανομιαν· εξελθων εξω, λαλει αυτην.
6If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.
7Κατ' εμου ψιθυριζουσιν ομου παντες οι μισουντες με· κατ' εμου διαλογιζονται κακα λεγοντες,
7All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.
8Πραγμα κακον εκολληθη εις αυτον· και κατακοιτος ων δεν θελει πλεον σηκωθη.
8“An evil disease,” they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”
9Και αυτος ο ανθρωπος, μετα του οποιου εζων ειρηνικως, επι τον οποιον ηλπισα, οστις ετρωγε τον αρτον μου, εσηκωσεν επ' εμε πτερναν.
9Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.
10Αλλα συ, Κυριε, ελεησον με και αναστησον με, και θελω ανταποδωσει εις αυτους.
10But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.
11Εκ τουτου γνωριζω οτι συ με ευνοεις, επειδη δεν θριαμβευει κατ' εμου ο εχθρος μου.
11By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.
12Εμε δε, συ με εστηριξας εις την ακεραιοτητα μου, και με εστερεωσας ενωπιον σου εις τον αιωνα.
12As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.
13Ευλογητος Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ, απ' αιωνος και εως αιωνος. Αμην και αμην.
13Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen. BOOK II
