  [13] Arise, O Lord, prevent them, and cast them down: deliver my soul from the ungodly: draw thy sword, because of the enemies of thine hand

  [14] Κύριε, ἀπὸ ὀλίγων ἀπὸ γῆς διαμέρισον αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτῶν, καὶ τῶν κεκρυμμένων σου ἐπλήσθη ἡ γαστὴρ αὐτῶν, ἐχορτάσθησαν υἱῶν [Αλλη γραφή· ὑείων.], καὶ ἀφῆκαν τὰ κατάλοιπα τοῖς νηπίοις αὐτῶν.

  [14] : O Lord, destroy them from the earth; scatter them in their life, though their belly has been filled with thy hidden treasures: they have been satisfied with uncleanness, and have left the remnant of their possessions to their babes.

  [15] ἐγὼ δὲ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ ὀφθήσομαι τῷ προσώπῳ σου, χορτασθήσομαι ἐν τῷ ὀφθῆναί μοι τὴν δόξαν σου.

  [15] But I shall appear in righteousness before thy face: I shall be satisfied when thy glory appears.

  Ψαλμός 17

  Psalm 17

  Εἰς τὸ τέλος· τῷ παιδὶ Κυρίου τῷ Δαυΐδ, ἃ ἐλάλησεν τῷ Κυρίῳ τοὺς λόγους τῆς ᾠδῆς ταύτης ἐν ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ἐῤῥύσατο αὐτὸν ὁ Κύριος ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς Σαούλ, 2 καὶ εἶπεν·

  For the end, a Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord; the words which he spoke to the Lord, even the words of this Song, in the day in which the Lord delivered him out the hand of all his enemies, and out the hand of Saul: and he said:

  ΑΓΑΠΗΣΩ σε, Κύριε, ἡ ἰσχύς μου.

  I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.

  [3] Κύριος στερέωμά μου καὶ καταφυγή μου καὶ ῥύστης μου. Ὁ Θεός μου βοηθός μου, ἐλπιῶ ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, ὑπερασπιστής μου καὶ κέρας σωτηρίας μου καὶ ἀντιλήπτωρ μου.

  [3] The Lord is my firm support, and my refuge, and my deliverer; my God is my helper, I will hope in him; he is my defender, and the horn of my salvation, and my helper.

  [4] αἰνῶν ἐπικαλέσομαι τὸν Κύριον καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου σωθήσομαι.

  [4] I will call upon the Lord with praises, and I shall be saved from mine enemies.

  [5] περιέσχον με ὠδῖνες θανάτου, καὶ χείμαῤῥοι ἀνομίας ἐξετάραξάν με.

  [5] The pangs of death compassed me, and the torrents of ungodliness troubled me exceedingly.

  [6] ὠδῖνες ᾅδου περιεκύκλωσάν με, προέφθασάν με παγίδες θανάτου.

  [6] The pangs of hell came round about me: the snares of death prevented me.

  [7] καὶ ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαί με ἐπεκαλεσάμην τὸν Κύριον καὶ πρὸς τὸν Θεόν μου ἐκέκραξα· ἤκουσεν ἐκ ναοῦ ἁγίου αὐτοῦ φωνῆς μου, καὶ ἡ κραυγή μου ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὰ ὦτα αὐτοῦ.

  [7] And when I was afflicted I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of this holy temple, and my cry shall enter before him, even into his ears.

  [8] καὶ ἐσαλεύθη καὶ ἔντρομος ἐγενήθη ἡ γῆ, καὶ τὰ θεμέλια τῶν ὀρέων ἐταράχθησαν καὶ ἐσαλεύθησαν, ὅτι ὠργίσθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Θεός.

  [8] Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains were disturbed, and were shaken, because God was angry with them.

  [9] ἀνέβη καπνὸς ἐν ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ καὶ πῦρ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ καταφλεγήσεται, ἄνθρακες ἀνήφθησαν ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

  [9] There went up a smoke in his wrath, and fire burst into a flame at his presence: coals were kindled at it.

  [10] καὶ ἔκλινεν οὐρανοὺς καὶ κατέβη, καὶ γνόφος ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ.

  [10] And he bowed the heaven, and came down: and thick darkness was under his feet.

  [11] καὶ ἐπέβη ἐπὶ Χερουβὶμ καὶ ἐπετάσθη, ἐπετάσθη ἐπὶ πτερύγων ἀνέμων.

  [11] And he mounted on cherubs and flew: he flew on the wings of winds.

  [12] καὶ ἔθετο σκότος ἀποκρυφὴν αὐτοῦ· κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ ἡ σκηνὴ αὐτοῦ, σκοτεινὸν ὕδωρ ἐν νεφέλαις ἀέρων.

  [12] And he made darkness his secret place: round about him was his tabernacle, even dark water in the clouds of the air.

  [13] ἀπὸ τῆς τηλαυγήσεως ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ αἱ νεφέλαι διῆλθον, χάλαζα καὶ ἄνθρακες πυρός.

  [13] At the brightness before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.

  [14] καὶ ἐβρόντησεν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ Κύριος, καὶ ὁ Ὕψιστος ἔδωκε φωνὴν αὐτοῦ·

  [14] The Lord also thundered from heaven, and the Highest uttered his voice.

  [15] ἐξαπέστειλε βέλη καὶ ἐσκόρπισεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἀστραπὰς ἐπλήθυνε καὶ συνετάραξεν αὐτούς.

  [15] And he sent forth his weapons, and scattered them; and multiplied lightnings, and routed them.

  [16] καὶ ὤφθησαν αἱ πηγαὶ τῶν ὑδάτων, καὶ ἀνεκαλύφθη τὰ θεμέλια τῆς οἰκουμένης ἀπὸ ἐπιτιμήσεώς σου, Κύριε, ἀπὸ ἐμπνεύσεως πνεύματος ὀργῆς σου.

  [16] And the springs of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy wrath.

  [17] ἐξαπέστειλεν ἐξ ὕψους καὶ ἔλαβέ με, προσελάβετό με ἐξ ὑδάτων πολλῶν.

  [17] He sent from on high and took me, he drew me to himself out of many waters.

  [18] ῥύσεταί με ἐξ ἐχθρῶν μου δυνατῶν, καὶ ἐκ τῶν μισούντων με, ὅτι ἐστερεώθησαν ὑπὲρ ἐμέ.

  [18] He will deliver me from my mighty enemies, and from them that hate me; for they are stronger than I.

  [19] προέφθασάν με ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κακώσεώς μου, καὶ ἐγένετο Κύριος ἀντιστήριγμά μου

  [19] They prevented me in the day of mine affliction: but the Lord was my stay against them.

  [20] καὶ ἐξήγαγέ με εἰς πλατυσμόν, ῥύσεταί με, ὅτι ἠθέλησέ με.

  [20] And he brought me out into a wide place: he will deliver me, because he has pleasure in me.

  [21] καὶ ἀνταποδώσει μοι Κύριος κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου καὶ κατὰ τὴν καθαριότητα τῶν χειρῶν μου ἀνταποδώσει μοι,

  [21] And the Lord will recompense me according to my righteousness; even according to the purity of my hands will he recompense me.

  [22] ὅτι ἐφύλαξα τὰς ὁδοὺς Κυρίου καὶ οὐκ ἠσέβησα ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ μου,

  [22] For I have kept the way of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from my God.

  [23] ὅτι πάντα τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιόν μου, καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἀπέστησαν ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ.

  [23] For all his judgments were before me, and his ordinances departed not from me.

  [24] καὶ ἔσομα�
� ἄμωμος μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ φυλάξομαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας μου.

  [24] And I shall be blameless with hem, and shall keep myself from mine iniquity.

  [25] καὶ ἀνταποδώσει μοι Κύριος κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου καὶ κατὰ τὴν καθαριότητα τῶν χειρῶν μου ἐνώπιον τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ.

  [25] And the Lord shall recompense me according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.

  [26] μετὰ ὁσίου ὅσιος ἔσῃ, καὶ μετὰ ἀνδρὸς ἀθῴου ἀθῷος ἔσῃ,

  [26] With the holy thou wilt be holy; and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent.

  [27] καὶ μετὰ ἐκλεκτοῦ ἐκλεκτὸς ἔσῃ καὶ μετὰ στρεβλοῦ διαστρέψεις.

  [27] And with the excellent man thou wilt be excellent; and with the perverse thou wilt shew frowardness.

  [28] ὅτι σὺ λαὸν ταπεινὸν σώσεις καὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑπερηφάνων ταπεινώσεις.

  [28] For thou wilt save the lowly people, and wilt humble the eyes of the proud.

  [29] ὅτι σὺ φωτιεῖς λύχνον μου, Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου, φωτιεῖς τὸ σκότος μου.

  [29] For thou, O Lord, wilt light my lamp: my God, thou wilt lighten my darkness.

  [30] ὅτι ἐν σοὶ ῥυσθήσομαι ἀπὸ πειρατηρίου καὶ ἐν τῷ Θεῷ μου ὑπερβήσομαι τεῖχος.

  [30] For by thee shall I be delivered from a troop; and by my God I will pass over a wall.

  [31] ὁ Θεός μου, ἄμωμος ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτοῦ, τὰ λόγια Κυρίου πεπυρωμένα, ὑπερασπιστής ἐστι πάντων τῶν ἐλπιζόντων ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν.

  [31] As for my God, his way is perfect: the oracles of the Lord are tried in the fire; he is a protector of all them that hope in him.

  [32] ὅτι τίς Θεὸς πλὴν τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ τίς Θεὸς πλὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν;

  [32] For who is God but the Lord? and who is a God except our God?

  [33] ὁ Θεὸς ὁ περιζωννύων με δύναμιν καὶ ἔθετο ἄμωμον τὴν ὁδόν μου·

  [33] It is God that girds me with strength, and has made my way blameless:

  [34] καταρτιζόμενος τοὺς πόδας μου ὡσεὶ ἐλάφου καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἱστῶν με·

  [34] who strengthens my feet as hart’s feet, and sets me upon high places.

  [35] διδάσκων χεῖράς μου εἰς πόλεμον καὶ ἔθου τόξον χαλκοῦν τοὺς βραχίονάς μου·

  [35] He instructs my hands for war: and thou hast made my arms as a brazen bow.

  [36] καὶ ἔδωκάς μοι ὑπερασπισμὸν σωτηρίας, καὶ ἡ δεξιά σου ἀντελάβετό μου, καὶ ἡ παιδεία σου ἀνώρθωσέ με εἰς τέλος, καὶ ἡ παιδεία σου αὐτή με διδάξει.

  [36] And thou hast made me secure in my salvation: and thy right hand has helped me, and thy correction has upheld me to the end; yea, thy correction itself shall instruct me.

  [37] ἐπλάτυνας τὰ διαβήματά μου ὑποκάτω μου, καὶ οὐκ ἠσθένησαν τὰ ἴχνη μου.

  [37] Thou has made room for my goings under me, and by footsteps did not fail.

  [38] καταδιώξω τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου καὶ καταλήψομαι αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐκ ἀποστραφήσομαι, ἕως ἂν ἐκλίπωσιν·

  [38] I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; and I will not turn back until they are consumed.

  [39] ἐκθλίψω αὐτούς, καὶ οὐ μὴ δύνωνται στῆναι, πεσοῦνται ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας μου.

  [39] I will dash them to pieces and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.

  [40] καὶ περιέζωσάς με δύναμιν εἰς πόλεμον, συνεπόδισας πάντας τοὺς ἐπανισταμένους ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ὑποκάτω μου.

  [40] For thou hast girded me with strength for war: thou hast beaten down under me all that rose up against me.

  [41] καὶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἔδωκάς μοι νῶτον καὶ τοὺς μισοῦντάς με ἐξωλόθρευσας.

  [41] And thou has made mine enemies turn their backs before me; and thou hast destroyed them that hated me.

  [42] ἐκέκραξαν, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ σῴζων, πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν.

  [42] They cried, but there was no deliverer: even to the Lord, but he hearkened not to them.

  [43] καὶ λεπτυνῶ αὐτοὺς ὡσεὶ χνοῦν κατὰ πρόσωπον ἀνέμου, ὡς πηλὸν πλατειῶν λεανῶ αὐτούς.

  [43] I will grind them as the mud of the streets: and I will beat them small as dust before the wind.

  [44] ῥύσῃ με ἐξ ἀντιλογίας λαοῦ, καταστήσεις με εἰς κεφαλὴν ἐθνῶν. λαός, ὃν οὐκ ἔγνων, ἐδούλευσέ μοι,

  [44] Deliver me from the gain sayings of the people: thou shalt make me head of the Gentiles: a people whom I knew not served me,

  [45] εἰς ἀκοὴν ὠτίου ὑπήκουσέ μου· υἱοὶ ἀλλότριοι ἐψεύσαντό μοι,

  [45] at the hearing of the ear they obeyed me: the strange children lied to me.

  [46] υἱοὶ ἀλλότριοι ἐπαλαιώθησαν καὶ ἐχώλαναν ἀπὸ τῶν τρίβων αὐτῶν.

  [46] The strange children waxed old, and fell away from their paths through lameness.

  [47] ζῇ Κύριος, καὶ εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεός μου καὶ ὑψωθήτω ὁ Θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας μου,

  [47] The Lord lives; and blessed be my God; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

  [48] ὁ Θεὸς ὁ διδοὺς ἐκδικήσεις ἐμοί, καὶ ὑποτάξας λαοὺς ὑπ᾿ ἐμέ,

  [48] It is God that avenges me, and has subdued the nations under me;

  [49] ὁ ῥύστης μου ἐξ ἐχθρῶν μου ὀργίλων, ἀπὸ τῶν ἐπανισταμένων ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ὑψώσεις με, ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς ἀδίκου ῥῦσαί με.

  [49] my deliverer from angry enemies: thou shalt set me on high above them that rise up against me: thou shalt deliver me from the unrighteous man.

  [50] διὰ τοῦτο ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι ἐν ἔθνεσι, Κύριε, καὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ψαλῶ,

  [50] Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name.

  [51] μεγαλύνων τὰς σωτηρίας τοῦ βασιλέως αὐτοῦ, καὶ ποιῶν ἔλεος τῷ χριστῷ αὐτοῦ, τῷ Δαυΐδ καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος.

  [51] God magnifies the deliverances of his king; and deals mercifully with David his anointed, and his seed, for ever.

  Ψαλμός 18

  Psalm 18

  Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ.

  For the end, a Psalm of David.

  [2] ΟΙ ΟΥΡΑΝΟΙ διηγοῦνται δόξαν Θεοῦ, ποίησιν δὲ χειρῶν αὐτοῦ ἀναγγέλλει τὸ στερέωμα.

  The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.

  [3] ἡμέρα τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐ
ρεύγεται ῥῆμα, καὶ νὺξ νυκτὶ ἀναγγέλλει γνῶσιν.

  [3] Day to day utters speech, and night to night proclaims knowledge.

  [4] οὐκ εἰσὶ λαλιαὶ οὐδὲ λόγοι, ὧν οὐχὶ ἀκούονται αἱ φωναὶ αὐτῶν·

  [4] There are no speeches or words, in which their voices are not heard.

  [5] εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἐξῆλθεν ὁ φθόγγος αὐτῶν καὶ εἰς τὰ πέρατα τῆς οἰκουμένης τὰ ῥήματα αὐτῶν.

  [5] Their voice is gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

  [6] ἐν τῷ ἡλίῳ ἔθετο τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ· καὶ αὐτὸς ὡς νυμφίος ἐκπορευόμενος ἐκ παστοῦ αὐτοῦ, ἀγαλλιάσεται ὡς γίγας δραμεῖν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ.

  [6] In the sun he has set his tabernacle; and he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber: he will exult as a giant to run his course.

  [7] ἀπ᾿ ἄκρου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἡ ἔξοδος αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ κατάντημα αὐτοῦ ἕως ἄκρου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὃς ἀποκρυβήσεται τῆς θέρμης αὐτοῦ.

  [7] His going forth is from the extremity of heaven, and his circuit to the other end of heaven: and no one shall be hidden from his heat.

  [8] ὁ νόμος τοῦ Κυρίου ἄμωμος, ἐπιστρέφων ψυχάς· ἡ μαρτυρία Κυρίου πιστή, σοφίζουσα νήπια.

  [8] The law of the Lord is perfect, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes.

  [9] τὰ δικαιώματα Κυρίου εὐθέα, εὐφραίνοντα καρδίαν· ἡ ἐντολὴ Κυρίου τηλαυγής, φωτίζουσα ὀφθαλμούς·

  [9] The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes.
