  [11] Unjust witnesses arose, and asked me of things I new not.

  [12] ἀνταπεδίδοσάν μοι πονηρὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν καὶ ἀτεκνίαν τῇ ψυχῇ μου.

  [12] They rewarded me evil for good, and bereavement to my soul.

  [13] ἐγὼ δὲ ἐν τῷ αὐτοὺς παρενοχλεῖν μοι ἐνεδυόμην σάκκον καὶ ἐταπείνουν ἐν νηστείᾳ τὴν ψυχήν μου, καὶ ἡ προσευχή μου εἰς κόλπον μου ἀποστραφήσεται.

  [13] But I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth, and humbled my soul with fasting: and my prayer shall return to my own bosom.

  [14] ὡς πλησίον, ὡς ἀδελφῷ ἡμετέρῳ οὕτως εὐηρέστουν· ὡς πενθῶν καὶ σκυθρωπάζων, οὕτως ἐταπεινούμην.

  [14] I behaved agreeably towards them as if it had been our neighbour or brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance.

  [15] καὶ κατ᾿ ἐμοῦ εὐφράνθησαν καὶ συνήχθησαν, συνήχθησαν ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ μάστιγες, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνων, διεσχίσθησαν καὶ οὐ κατενύγησαν.

  [15] Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew it not: they were scattered, but repented not.

  [16] ἐπείρασάν με, ἐξεμυκτήρισάν με μυκτηρισμῷ, ἔβρυξαν ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ τοὺς ὀδόντας αὐτῶν.

  [16] They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me.

  [17] Κύριε, πότε ἐπόψῃ; ἀποκατάστησον τὴν ψυχήν μου ἀπὸ τῆς κακουργίας αὐτῶν, ἀπὸ λεόντων τὴν μονογενῆ μου.

  [17] O Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, mine only-begotten one from the lions.

  [18] ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ πολλῇ, ἐν λαῷ βαρεῖ αἰνέσω σε.

  [18] I will give thanks to thee even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise thee.

  [19] μὴ ἐπιχαρείησάν μοι οἱ ἐχθραίνοντές μοι ἀδίκως, οἱ μισοῦντες με δωρεὰν καὶ διανεύοντες ὀφθαλμοῖς.

  [19] Let not them that are mine enemies without a cause rejoice against me; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.

  [20] ὅτι ἐμοὶ μὲν εἰρηνικὰ ἐλάλουν καὶ ἐπ᾿ ὀργὴν δόλους διελογίζοντο.

  [20] For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in their anger.

  [21] καὶ ἐπλάτυναν ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν, εἶπαν· εὖγε, εὖγε, εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν.

  [21] And they opened wide their mouth upon me; they said Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.

  [22] εἶδες, Κύριε, μὴ παρασιωπήσῃς, Κύριε, μὴ ἀποστῇς ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ·

  [22] Thou hast seen it, O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, withdraw not thyself from me.

  [23] ἐξεγέρθητι, Κύριε, καὶ πρόσχες τῇ κρίσει μου, ὁ Θεός μου καὶ ὁ Κύριός μου, εἰς τὴν δίκην μου.

  [23] Awake, O Lord, and attend to my judgment, even to my cause, my God and my Lord.

  [24] κρῖνόν με, Κύριε, κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου, Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου, καὶ μὴ ἐπιχαρείησάν μοι.

  [24] Judge me, O Lord, according to thy righteousness, O Lord my God; and let them not rejoice against me.

  [25] μὴ εἴποισαν ἐν καρδίαις αὐτῶν· εὖγε, εὖγε τῇ ψυχῇ ἡμῶν· μηδὲ εἴποιεν· Κατεπίομεν αὐτόν.

  [25] Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, aha, it is pleasing to our soul: neither let them say, We have devoured him.

  [26] αἰσχυνθείησαν καὶ ἐντραπείησαν ἅμα οἱ ἐπιχαίροντες τοῖς κακοῖς μου, ἐνδυσάσθωσαν αἰσχύνην καὶ ἐντροπὴν οἱ μεγαλοῤῥημονοῦντες ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ.

  [26] Let them be confounded and ashamed together that rejoice at my afflictions: let them be clothed with shame and confusion that speak great swelling words against me.

  [27] ἀγαλλιάσθωσαν καὶ εὐφρανθήτωσαν οἱ θέλοντες τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου καὶ εἰπάτωσαν διαπαντός· μεγαλυνθήτω ὁ Κύριος, οἱ θέλοντες τὴν εἰρήνην τοῦ δούλου αὐτοῦ.

  [27] Let them that rejoice in my righteousness exult and be glad: and let them say continually, The Lord be magnified, who desire the peace of his servant.

  [28] καὶ ἡ γλῶσσά μου μελετήσει τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν τὸν ἔπαινόν σου.

  [28] And my tongue shall meditate on thy righteousness, and on thy praise all the day.

  Ψαλμός 35

  Psalm 35

  Εἰς τὸ τέλος· τῷ δούλῳ Κυρίου τῷ Δαυΐδ.

  For the end, by David the servant of the Lord.

  [2] ΦΗΣΙΝ ὁ παράνομος τοῦ ἁμαρτάνειν ἐν ἑαυτῷ, οὐκ ἔστι φόβος Θεοῦ ἀπέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ·

  [2] The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

  [3] ὅτι ἐδόλωσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ τοῦ εὑρεῖν τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ μισῆσαι.

  [3] For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.

  [4] τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἀνομία καὶ δόλος, οὐκ ἠβουλήθη συνιέναι τοῦ ἀγαθῦναι·

  [4] The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand how to do good.

  [5] ἀνομίαν διελογίσατο ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης αὐτοῦ, παρέστη πάσῃ ὁδῷ οὐκ ἀγαθῇ, κακίᾳ δὲ οὐ προσώχθισε.

  [5] He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.

  [6] Κύριε, ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ τὸ ἔλεός σου, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθειά σου ἕως τῶν νεφελῶν·

  [6] O Lord, thy mercy is in the heaven; and thy truth reaches to the clouds.

  [7] ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου ὡς ὄρη Θεοῦ, τὰ κρίματά σου ὡσεὶ ἄβυσσος πολλή· ἀνθρώπους καὶ κτήνη σώσεις, Κύριε.

  [7] Thy righteousness is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are as a great deep: O Lord, thou wilt preserve men and beasts.

  [8] ὡς ἐπλήθυνας τὸ ἔλεός σου, ὁ Θεός· οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐν σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύγων σου ἐλπιοῦσι.

  [8] How hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of thy wings.

  [9] μεθυσθήσονται ἀπὸ πιότητος οἴκου σου, καὶ τὸν χειμάῤῥουν τῆς τρυφῆς σου ποτιεῖς αὐτούς·

  [9] They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of thine house; and thou shalt cause them to drink of the full stream of thy delights.

  [10] ὅτι παρὰ σοὶ πηγὴ ζωῆς, ἐν τῷ φωτί σου ὀψόμεθα φῶς.

  [10] For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light we shall see light.

  [11] παράτει�
�ον τὸ ἔλεός σου τοῖς γινώσκουσί σε καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου τοῖς εὐθέσι τῇ καρδίᾳ.

  [11] Extend thy mercy to them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

  [12] μὴ ἐλθέτω μοι ποὺς ὑπερηφανίας, καὶ χεὶρ ἁμαρτωλοῦ μὴ σαλεύσαι με.

  [12] Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.

  [13] ἐκεῖ ἔπεσον πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν, ἐξώσθησαν καὶ οὐ μὴ δύνωνται στῆναι.

  [13] There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.

  Ψαλμός 36

  Psalm 36

  Τῷ Δαυΐδ.

  A Psalm of David.

  ΜΗ ΠΑΡΑΖΗΛΟΥ ἐν πονηρευομένοις μηδὲ ζήλου τοὺς ποιοῦντας τὴν ἀνομίαν·

  Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be envious of them that do iniquity.

  [2] ὅτι ὡσεὶ χόρτος ταχὺ ἀποξηρανθήσονται καὶ ὡσεὶ λάχανα χλόης ταχὺ ἀποπεσοῦνται.

  [2] For they shall soon be withered as the grass, and shall soon fall away as the green herbs.

  [3] ἔλπισον ἐπὶ Κύριον καὶ ποίει χρηστότητα καὶ κατασκήνου τὴν γῆν, καὶ ποιμανθήσῃ ἐπὶ τῷ πλούτῳ αὐτῆς.

  [3] Hope in the Lord, and do good; and dwell on the land, and thou shalt be fed with the wealth of it.

  [4] κατατρύφησον τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ δώσει σοι τὰ αἰτήματα τῆς καρδίας σου.

  [4] Delight thyself in the Lord; and he shall grant thee the requests of thine heart.

  [5] ἀποκάλυψον πρὸς Κύριον τὴν ὁδόν σου καὶ ἔλπισον ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς ποιήσει

  [5] Disclose thy way to the Lord, and hope in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

  [6] καὶ ἐξοίσει ὡς φῶς τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου καὶ τὸ κρῖμά σου ὡς μεσημβρίαν.

  [6] And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noon-day.

  [7] ὑποτάγηθι τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ ἱκέτευσον αὐτόν· μὴ παραζήλου ἐν τῷ κατευοδουμένῳ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ ποιοῦντι παρανομίαν.

  [7] Submit thyself to the Lord, and supplicate him: fret not thyself because of him that prospers in his way, at the man that does unlawful deeds.

  [8] παῦσαι ἀπὸ ὀργῆς καὶ ἐγκατάλιπε θυμόν, μὴ παραζήλου ὥστε πονηρεύεσθαι·

  [8] ease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself so as to do evil.

  [9] ὅτι οἱ πονηρευόμενοι ἐξολοθρευθήσονται, οἱ δὲ ὑπομένοντες τὸν Κύριον αὐτοὶ κληρονομήσουσι γῆν.

  [9] For evil-doers shall be destroyed: but they that wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the land.

  [10] καὶ ἔτι ὀλίγον καὶ οὐ μὴ ὑπάρξῃ ὁ ἁμαρτωλός, καὶ ζητήσεις τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐ μὴ εὕρῃς·

  [10] And yet a little while, and the sinner shall not be, and thou shalt seek for his place, and shalt not find it.

  [11] οἱ δὲ πραεῖς κληρονομήσουσι γῆν καὶ κατατρυφήσουσιν ἐπὶ πλήθει εἰρήνης.

  [11] But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

  [12] παρατηρήσεται ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς τὸν δίκαιον καὶ βρύξει ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν τοὺς ὀδόντας αὐτοῦ·

  [12] The sinner will watch for the righteous, and gnash his teeth upon him.

  [13] ὁ δὲ Κύριος ἐκγελάσεται αὐτόν, ὅτι προβλέπει ὅτι ἥξει ἡ ἡμέρα αὐτοῦ.

  [13] But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foresees that his day will come.

  [14] ῥομφαίαν ἐσπάσαντο οἱ ἁμαρτωλοί, ἐνέτειναν τόξον αὐτῶν τοῦ καταβαλεῖν πτωχὸν καὶ πένητα, τοῦ σφάξαι τοὺς εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ·

  [14] Sinners have drawn their swords, they have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy one, and to slay the upright in heart.

  [15] ἡ ῥομφαία αὐτῶν εἰσέλθοι εἰς τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ τόξα αὐτῶν συντριβείη.

  [15] Let their sword enter into their own heart, and their bows be broken.

  [16] κρεῖσσον ὀλίγον τῷ δικαίῳ ὑπὲρ πλοῦτον ἁμαρτωλῶν πολύν·

  [16] A little is better to the righteous than abundant wealth of sinners.

  [17] ὅτι βραχίονες ἁμαρτωλῶν συντριβήσονται, ὑποστηρίζει δὲ δικαίους ὁ Κύριος.

  [17] For the arms of sinners shall be broken; but the Lord supports the righteous.

  [18] γινώσκει Κύριος τὰς ὁδοὺς τῶν ἀμώμων, καὶ ἡ κληρονομία αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἔσται·

  [18] The Lord knows the ways of the perfect; and their inheritance shall be for ever.

  [19] οὐ καταισχυνθήσονται ἐν καιρῷ πονηρῷ καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις λιμοῦ χορτασθήσονται.

  [19] They shall not be ashamed in an evil time; and in days of famine they shall be satisfied.

  [20] ὅτι οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀπολοῦνται, οἱ δὲ ἐχθροὶ τοῦ Κυρίου ἅμα τῷ δοξασθῆναι αὐτοὺς καὶ ὑψωθῆναι ἐκλείποντες ὡσεὶ καπνὸς ἐξέλιπον.

  [20] For the sinners shall perish; and the enemies of the Lord at the moment of their being honoured and exalted have utterly vanished like smoke.

  [21] δανείζεται ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς καὶ οὐκ ἀποτίσει, ὁ δὲ δίκαιος οἰκτείρει καὶ δίδωσιν·

  [21] The sinner borrows, and will not pay again: but the righteous has compassion, and gives.

  [22] ὅτι οἱ εὐλογοῦντες αὐτὸν κληρονομήσουσι γῆν, οἱ δὲ καταρώμενοι αὐτὸν ἐξολοθρευθήσονται.

  [22] For they that bless him shall inherit the earth; and they that curse him shall be utterly destroyed.

  [23] παρὰ Κυρίου τὰ διαβήματα ἀνθρώπου κατευθύνεται, καὶ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ θελήσει σφό δρα·

  [23] The steps of a man are rightly ordered by the Lord: and he will take pleasure in his way.

  [24] ὅταν πέσῃ, οὐ καταῤῥαχθήσεται, ὅτι Κύριος ἀντιστηρίζει χεῖρα αὐτοῦ.

  [24] When he falls, he shall not be ruined: for the Lord supports his hand.

  [25] νεώτερος ἐγενόμην καὶ γὰρ ἐγήρασα καὶ οὐκ εἶδον δίκαιον ἐγκαταλελειμμένον, οὐδὲ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ζητοῦν ἄρτους·

  [25] I was once young, indeed I am now old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.

  [26] ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐλεεῖ καὶ δανείζει ὁ δίκαιος, καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ εἰς εὐλογίαν ἔσται.

  [26] He is merciful, and lends continuall
y; and his seed shall be blessed.

  [27] ἔκκλινον ἀπὸ κακοῦ καὶ ποίησον ἀγαθὸν καὶ κατασκήνου εἰς αἰῶνα αἰῶνος·

  [27] Turn aside from evil, and do good; and dwell for ever.

  [28] ὅτι Κύριος ἀγαπᾷ κρίσιν καὶ οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψει τοὺς ὁσίους αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα φυλαχθήσονται· ἄνομοι δὲ ἐκδιωχθήσονται, καὶ σπέρμα ἀσεβῶν ἐξολοθρευθήσεται.

  [28] For the Lord loves judgment, and will not forsake his saints; they shall be preserved for ever: the blameless shall be avenged, but the seed of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.

  [29] δίκαιοι δὲ κληρονομήσουσι γῆν καὶ κατασκηνώσουσιν εἰς αἰῶνα αἰῶνος ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς.

  [29] But the righteous shall inherit the earth, and dwell upon it for ever.

  [30] στόμα δικαίου μελετήσει σοφίαν, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτοῦ λαλήσει κρίσιν.

  [30] The mouth of the righteous will meditate wisdom, and his tongue will speak of judgment.

  [31] ὁ νόμος τοῦ Θεοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐχ ὑποσκελισθήσεται τὰ διαβήματα αὐτοῦ.

  [31] The law of his God is in his heart; and his steps shall not slide.

  [32] κατανοεῖ ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς τὸν δίκαιον καὶ ζητεῖ τοῦ θανατῶσαι αὐτόν,

  [32] The sinner watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him.

  [33] ὁ δὲ Κύριος οὐ μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃ αὐτὸν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ μὴ καταδικάσηται αὐτόν, ὅταν κρίνηται αὐτῷ.

  [33] But the Lord will not leave him in his hands, nor by any means condemn him when he is judged.

  [34] ὑπόμεινον τὸν Κύριον καὶ φύλαξον τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὑψώσει σε τοῦ κατακληρονομῆσαι γῆν· ἐν τῷ ἐξολοθρεύεσθαι ἁμαρτωλοὺς ὄψει.
