  [8] ἑτοίμη ἡ καρδία μου, ὁ Θεός, ἑτοίμη ἡ καρδία μου, ᾄσομαι καὶ ψαλῶ ἐν τῇ δόξῃ μου.

  [8] My heart, O God, is ready, my heart is ready: I will sing, yea will sing psalms.

  [9] ἐξεγέρθητι, ἡ δόξα μου· ἐξεγέρθητι, ψαλτήριον καὶ κιθάρα· ἐξεγερθήσομαι ὄρθρου.

  [9] Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I will awake early.

  [10] ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι ἐν λαοῖς, Κύριε, ψαλῶ σοι ἐν ἔθνεσι,

  [10] O Lord, I will give thanks to thee among the nations: I will sing to thee among the Gentiles.

  [11] ὅτι ἐμεγαλύνθη ἕως τῶν οὐρανῶν τὸ ἔλεός σου καὶ ἕως τῶν νεφελῶν ἡ ἀλήθειά σου.

  [11] For thy mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds.

  [12] ὑψώθητι ἐπὶ τοὺς οὐρανούς, ὁ Θεός, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἡ δόξα σου.

  [12] Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.

  Ψαλμός 57

  Psalm 57

  Εἰς τὸ τέλος· μὴ διαφθείρῃς· τῷ Δαυΐδ εἰς στηλογραφίαν.

  For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial.

  [2] ΕΙ ΑΛΗΘΩΣ ἄρα δικαιοσύνην λαλεῖτε; εὐθείας κρίνετε οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων;

  [2] If ye do indeed speak righteousness, then do ye judge rightly, ye sons of men.

  [3] καὶ γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ ἀνομίαν ἐργάζεσθε ἐν τῇ γῇ, ἀδικίαν αἱ χεῖρες ὑμῶν συμπλέκουσιν.

  [3] For ye work iniquities in your hearts in the earth: your hands plot unrighteousness.

  [4] ἀπηλλοτριώθησαν οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀπὸ μήτρας, ἐπλανήθησαν ἀπὸ γαστρός, ἐλάλησαν ψευδῆ.

  [4] Sinners have gone astray from the womb: they go astray from the belly: they speak lies.

  [5] θυμὸς αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὴν ὁμοίωσιν τοῦ ὄφεως, ὡσεὶ ἀσπίδος κωφῆς καὶ βυούσης τὰ ὦτα αὐτῆς,

  [5] Their venom is like that of a serpent; as that of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears;

  [6] ἥτις οὐκ εἰσακούσεται φωνῆς ἐπᾳδόντων, φαρμάκου τε φαρμακευομένου παρὰ σοφοῦ.

  [6] which will not hear the voice of charmers, nor heed the charm prepared skillfully by the wise.

  [7] ὁ Θεὸς συντρίψει τοὺς ὀδόντας αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν, τὰς μύλας τῶν λεόντων συνέθλασεν ὁ Κύριος·

  [7] God has crushed their teeth in their mouth: God has broken the cheek-teeth of the lions.

  [8] ἐξουδενωθήσονται ὡσεὶ ὕδωρ διαπορευόμενον· ἐκτενεῖ τὸ τόξον αὐτοῦ ἕως οὗ ἀσθενήσουσιν.

  [8] They shall utterly pass away like water running through: he shall bend his bow till they shall fail.

  [9] ὡσεὶ κηρὸς τακεὶς ἀνταναιρεθήσονται· ἔπεσε πῦρ ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς, καὶ οὐκ εἶδον τὸν ἥλιον.

  [9] They shall be destroyed as melted wax: the fire has fallen and they have not seen the sun.

  [10] πρὸ τοῦ συνιέναι τὰς ἀκάνθας αὐτῶν τὴν ῥάμνον, ὡσεὶ ζῶντας, ὡσεὶ ἐν ὀργῇ καταπίεται αὐτούς.

  [10] Before your thorns feel the white thorn, he shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath.

  [11] εὐφρανθήσεται δίκαιος, ὅταν ἴδῃ ἐκδίκησιν· τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ νίψεται ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ.

  [11] The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.

  [12] καὶ ἐρεῖ ἄνθρωπος· εἰ ἄρα ἐστὶ καρπὸς τῷ δικαίῳ, ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ Θεὸς κρίνων αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ γῇ.

  [12] And a man shall say, Verily then there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judges them in the earth.

  Ψαλμός 58

  Psalm 58

  Εἰς τὸ τέλος· μὴ διαφθείρῃς· τῷ Δαυΐδ εἰς στηλογραφίαν, ὁπότε ἀπέστειλε Σαοὺλ καὶ ἐφύλαξε τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ τοῦ θανατῶσαι αὐτόν.

  For the end. Destroy not: by David for a memorial, when Saul sent, and watched his house to kill him.

  [2] ΕΞΕΛΟΥ με ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου, ὁ Θεός, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐπανισταμένων ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ λύτρωσαί με·

  [2] Deliver me from mine enemies, O God; and ransom me from those that rise up against me.

  [3] ῥῦσαί με ἐκ τῶν ἐργαζομένων τὴν ἀνομίαν καὶ ἐξ ἀνδρῶν αἱμάτων σῶσόν με.

  [3] Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

  [4] ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἐθήρευσαν τὴν ψυχήν μου, ἐπέθεντο ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ κραταιοί. οὔτε ἡ ἀνομία μου οὔτε ἡ ἁμαρτία μου, Κύριε·

  [4] For, behold, they have hunted after my soul; violent men have set upon me: neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord.

  [5] ἄνευ ἀνομίας ἔδραμον καὶ κατεύθυνα· ἐξεγέρθητι εἰς συνάντησίν μου καὶ ἴδε.

  [5] Without iniquity I ran and directed my course aright: awake to help me, and behold.

  [6] καὶ σύ, Κύριε, ὁ Θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων, ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, πρόσχες τοῦ ἐπισκέψασθαι πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, μὴ οἰκτειρήσῃς πάντας τοὺς ἐργαζομένους τὴν ἀνομίαν. (διάψαλμα).

  [6] And thou, Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, draw nigh to visit all the heathen; pity not any that work iniquity. (Pause).

  [7] ἐπιστρέψουσιν εἰς ἑσπέραν καὶ λιμώξουσιν ὡς κύων καὶ κυκλώσουσι πόλιν.

  [7] They shall return at evening, and hunger like a dog, and go round about the city.

  [8] ἰδοὺ ἀποφθέγξονται ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν, καὶ ῥομφαία ἐν τοῖς χείλεσιν αὐτῶν, ὅτι τίς ἤκουσε;

  [8] Behold, they shall utter a voice with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips; for who, say they, has heard?

  [9] καὶ σύ, Κύριε, ἐκγελάσῃ αὐτούς, ἐξουδενώσεις πάντα τὰ ἔθνη.

  [9] But thou, Lord, wilt laugh them to scorn; thou wilt utterly set at nought all the heathen.

  [10] τὸ κράτος μου, πρὸς σὲ φυλάξω, ὅτι σύ, ὁ Θεός, ἀντιλήπτωρ μου εἶ.

  [10] will keep my strength, looking to thee; for thou, O God, art my helper.

  [11] ὁ Θεός μου, τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ προφθάσει με· ὁ Θεός μου δείξει μοι ἐν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου.

  [11] As for my God, his mercy shall go before me: my God will shew me vengeance on mine enemies.

  [12] μὴ ἀποκτείνῃς αὐτούς, μήποτε ἐπιλάθωνται τοῦ νόμου σου· διασκόρπισον αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου καὶ κατάγαγε αὐτούς, ὁ ὑπερασπιστ�
�ς μου, Κύριε.

  [12] Slay them not, lest they forget thy law; scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord, my defender.

  [13] ἁμαρτία στόματος αὐτῶν, λόγος χειλέων αὐτῶν, καὶ συλληφθήτωσαν ἐν τῇ ὑπερηφανίᾳ αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐξ ἀρᾶς καὶ ψεύδους διαγγελήσονται ἐν συντελείᾳ,

  [13] For the sin of their mouth, and the word of their lips, let them be even taken in their pride. And for their cursing and falsehood shall utter destruction be denounced:

  [14] ἐν ὀργῇ συντελείας, καὶ οὐ μὴ ὑπάρξουσι· καὶ γνώσονται, ὅτι Θεὸς δεσπόζει τοῦ Ἰακὼβ τῶν περάτων τῆς γῆς. (διάψαλμα).

  [14] they shall fall by the wrath of utter destruction, and shall not be; so shall they know that the God of Jacob is Lord of the ends of the earth. (Pause).

  [15] ἐπιστρέψουσιν εἰς ἑσπέραν, καὶ λιμώξουσιν ὡς κύων καὶ κυκλώσουσι πόλιν.

  [15] They shall return at evening, and be hungry as a dog, and go round about the city.

  [16] αὐτοὶ διασκορπισθήσονται τοῦ φαγεῖν· ἐὰν δὲ μὴ χορτασθῶσι, καὶ γογγύσουσιν.

  [16] They shall be scattered hither and thither for meat; and if they be not satisfied, they shall even murmur.

  [17] ἐγὼ δὲ ᾄσομαι τῇ δυνάμει σου καὶ ἀγαλλιάσομαι τὸ πρωΐ τὸ ἔλεός σου, ὅτι ἐγενήθης ἀντιλήπτωρ μου καὶ καταφυγή μου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεώς μου.

  [17] But I will sing to thy strength, and in the morning will I exult in thy mercy; for thou hast been my supporter, and my refuge in the day of mine affliction.

  [18] βοηθός μου εἶ, σοὶ ψαλῶ, ὅτι σύ, ὁ Θεός, ἀντιλήπτωρ μου εἶ, ὁ Θεός μου, τὸ ἔλεός μου.

  [18] Thou art my helper; to thee, my God, will I sing; thou art my supporter, O my God, and my mercy.

  Ψαλμός 59

  Psalm 59

  Εἰς τὸ τέλος· τοῖς ἀλλοιωθησομένοις ἔτι, εἰς στηλογραφίαν τῷ Δαυΐδ, εἰς διδαχήν, 2 ὁπότε ἐνεπύρισε τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν Συρίας καὶ τὴν Συρίαν Σοβά, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν Ἰωάβ, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὴν φάραγγα τῶν ἁλῶν, δώδεκα χιλιάδας.

  For the end, for them that shall yet be changed; for an inscription by David for instruction, when he had burned Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Sobal, and Joab had returned and smitten in the valley of salt twelve thousand.

  [3] Ο ΘΕΟΣ, ἀπώσω ἡμᾶς καὶ καθεῖλες ἡμᾶς, ὠργίσθης καὶ οἰκτείρησας ἡμᾶς.

  [3] O God, thou hast rejected and destroyed us; thou hast been angry, yet hast pitied us.

  [4] συνέσεισας τὴν γῆν καὶ συνετάραξας αὐτήν· ἴασαι τὰ συντρίμματα αὐτῆς ὅτι ἐσαλεύθη.

  [4] Thou hast shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.

  [5] ἔδειξας τῷ λαῷ σου σκληρά, ἐπότισας ἡμᾶς οἶνον κατανύξεως.

  [5] Thou hast shewn thy people hard things: thou has made us drink the wine of astonishment.

  [6] ἔδωκας τοῖς φοβουμένοις σε σημείωσιν τοῦ φυγεῖν ἀπὸ προσώπου τόξου. (διάψαλμα).

  [6] Thou hast given a token to them that fear thee, that they might flee from the bow. (Pause).

  [7] ὅπως ἂν ῥυσθῶσιν οἱ ἀγαπητοί σου, σῶσον τῇ δεξιᾷ σου καὶ ἐπάκουσόν μου.

  [7] That thy beloved ones may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.

  [8] ὁ Θεὸς ἐλάλησεν ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ· ἀγαλλιάσομαι καὶ διαμεριῶ Σίκιμα καὶ τὴν κοιλάδα τῶν σκηνῶν διαμετρήσω.

  [8] God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents.

  [9] ἐμός ἐστι Γαλαάδ, καὶ ἐμός ἐστι Μανασσῆ, καὶ Ἐφραὶμ κραταίωσις τῆς κεφαλῆς μου, Ἰούδας βασιλεύς μου·

  [9] Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judas is my king;

  [10] Μωὰβ λέβης τῆς ἐλπίδος μου, ἐπὶ τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν ἐκτενῶ τὸ ὑπόδημά μου, ἐμοὶ ἀλλόφυλοι ὑπετάγησαν.

  [10] Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.

  [11] τίς ἀπάξει με εἰς πόλιν περιοχῆς; ἢ τίς ὁδηγήσει με ἕως τῆς Ἰδουμαίας;

  [11] Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a Idumea?

  [12] οὐχὶ σύ, ὁ Θεός, ὁ ἀπωσάμενος ἡμᾶς; καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεύσῃ, ὁ Θεός, ἐν ταῖς δυνάμεσιν ἡμῶν;

  [12] Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our forces?

  [13] δὸς ἡμῖν βοήθειαν ἐκ θλίψεως, καὶ ματαία σωτηρία ἀνθρώπου.

  [13] Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.

  [14] ἐν τῷ Θεῷ ποιήσωμεν δύναμιν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξουδενώσει τοὺς θλίβοντας ἡμᾶς.

  [14] In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nought them that harass us.

  Ψαλμός 60

  Psalm 60

  Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ἐν ὕμνοις· τῷ Δαυΐδ.

  For the end, among the Hymns of David.

  [2] ΕΙΣΑΚΟΥΣΟΝ, ὁ Θεός, τῆς δεήσεώς μου, πρόσχες τῇ προσευχῇ μου.

  [2] O God, hearken to my petition; attend to my prayer.

  [3] ἀπὸ τῶν περάτων τῆς γῆς πρὸς σὲ ἐκέκραξα ἐν τῷ ἀκηδιάσαι τὴν καρδίαν μου· ἐν πέτρᾳ ὕψωσάς με, ὡδήγησάς με,

  [3] From the ends of the earth have I cried to thee, when my heart was in trouble: thou liftedst me up on a rock thou didst guide me:

  [4] ὅτι ἐγενήθης ἐλπίς μου, πύργος ἰσχύος ἀπὸ προσώπου ἐχθροῦ.

  [4] because thou wert my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

  [5] παροικήσω ἐν τῷ σκηνώματί σου εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, σκεπασθήσομαι ἐν σκέπει τῶν πτερύγων σου. (διάψαλμα).

  [5] I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of thy wings. (Pause).

  [6] ὅτι σύ, ὁ Θεός, εἰσήκουσας τῶν εὐχῶν μου, ἔδωκας κληρονομίαν τοῖς φοβουμένοις τὸ ὄνομά σου.

  [6] For thou, o God, hast heard my prayers; thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

  [7] ἡμέρας ἐφ᾿ ἡμέρας τοῦ βασιλέως προσθήσεις, τὰ ἔτη αὐτοῦ ἕως ἡμέρας γενεᾶς καὶ γενεᾶς.

  [7] Thou shalt add days to the days of the king; thou shalt lengthen his years to all generations.

  [8] διαμενεῖ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ· ἔλεος καὶ ἀλήθειαν αὐτοῦ τίς ἐκζητήσει;

&n
bsp; [8] He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

  [9] οὕτως ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος τοῦ ἀποδοῦναί με τὰς εὐχάς μου ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας.

  [9] So will I sing to thy name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

  Ψαλμός 61

  Psalm 61

  Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ Ἰδιθούν· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ.

  For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun.

  [2] ΟΥΧΙ τῷ Θεῷ ὑποταγήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου; παρ᾿ αὐτῷ γὰρ τὸ σωτήριόν μου·

  [2] Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation.

  [3] καὶ γὰρ αὐτὸς Θεός μου καὶ σωτήρ μου, καὶ ἀντιλήπτωρ μου, οὐ μὴ σαλευθῶ ἐπὶ πλεῖον.

  [3] For he is my God, and my saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved very much.

  [4] ἕως πότε ἐπιτίθεσθε ἐπ᾿ ἄνθρωπον; φονεύετε πάντες ὡς τοίχῳ κεκλιμένῳ καὶ φραγμῷ ὠσμένῳ.

  [4] How long will ye assault a man? ye are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge.

  [5] πλὴν τὴν τιμήν μου ἐβουλεύσαντο ἀπώσασθαι, ἔδραμον ἐν δίψει, τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν εὐλόγουν καὶ τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν κατηρῶντο. (διάψαλμα).

  [5] They only took counsel to set at nought mine honour: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. (Pause).

  [6] πλὴν τῷ Θεῷ ὑποτάγηθι, ἡ ψυχή μου, ὅτι παρ᾿ αὐτῷ ἡ ὑπομονή μου.

  [6] Nevertheless do thou, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him is my patient hope.
