ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 140

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Εις τον πρωτον μουσικον. Ψαλμος του Δαβιδ.>> Ελευθερωσον με, Κυριε, απο ανθρωπου πονηρου? λυτρωσον με απο ανθρωπου αδικου?	1 Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me:
2 Οιτινες διαλογιζονται πονηρα εν τη καρδια? ολην την ημεραν παραταττονται εις πολεμους.	2 thou hast know my sitting down, and my rising up.
3 Ηκονησαν την γλωσσαν αυτων ως οφεως? φαρμακιον ασπιδος ειναι υπο τα χειλη αυτων. Διαψαλμα.	3 Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: my path and my line thou hast searched out.
4 Φυλαξον με, Κυριε, απο χειρων ασεβους? λυτρωσον με απο ανθρωπου αδικου? οιτινες εμηχανευθησαν να υποσκελισωσι τα διαβηματα μου.	4 And thou hast foreseen all my ways: for there is no speech in my tongue.
5 Οι υπερηφανοι εκρυψαν κατ' εμου παγιδα, και με σχοινια ηπλωσαν δικτυα εις την διαβασιν μου? εστησαν δι' εμε βροχια. Διαψαλμα.	5 Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me.
6 Ειπα προς τον Κυριον, Συ εισαι ο Θεος μου? ακροασθητι, Κυριε, της φωνης των δεησεων μου.	6 Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: it is high, and I cannot reach to it.
7 Κυριε Θεε, η δυναμις της σωτηριας μου, συ περιεσκεπασας την κεφαλην μου εν ημερα πολεμου.	7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy face?
8 Μη δωσης, Κυριε, εις τον ασεβη τας επιθυμιας αυτου? μη αφησης να εκτελεσθη ο στοχασμος αυτου, μηποτε υψωθωσι. Διαψαλμα.	8 If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I descend into hell, thou art present.
9 Η πονηρια των χειλεων των περικυκλουντων με ας σκεπαση την κεφαλην αυτων.	9 If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:
10 Ανθρακες πεπυρακτωμενοι ας πεσωσιν επ' αυτους? ας ριφθωσιν εις το πυρ, εις λακκους βαθεις, δια να μη εγερθωσι πλεον.	10 Even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 Ανθρωπος κακογλωσσος ας μη στερεωθη επι της γης? η κακια θελει καταδιωξει τον αδικον ανθρωπον, εωσου απολεση αυτον.	11 And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: and night shall be my light in my pleasures.
12 Εξευρω οτι ο Κυριος θελει καμει την κρισιν του τεθλιμμενου και την δικην των πτωχων.	12 But darkness shall not be dark to thee, and night shall be light as day: the darkness thereof, and the light thereof are alike to thee.
13 Βεβαιως οι δικαιοι θελουσι δοξολογει το ονομα σου? οι ευθεις θελουσι κατοικει εμπροσθεν του προσωπου σου.	13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast protected me from my mother's womb.
	14 I will praise thee, for thou art fearfully magnified: wonderful are thy works, and my soul knoweth right well.
	15 My bone is not hidden from thee, which thou hast made in secret: and my substance in the lower parts of the earth.
	16 Thy eyes did see my imperfect being, and in thy book all shall be written: days shall be formed, and no one in them.
	17 But to me thy friends, O God, are made exceedingly honourable: their principality is exceedingly strengthened.
	18 I will number them, and they shall be multiplied above the sand: I rose up and am still with thee.
	19 If thou wilt kill the wicked, O God: ye men of blood, depart from me:
	20 Because you say in thought: They shall receive thy cities in vain.
	21 Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated thee: and pine away because of thy enemies?
	22 I have hated them with a perfect hatred: and they are become enemies to me.
	23 Prove me, O God, and know my heart: examine me, and know my paths.
	24 And see if there be in me the way of iniquity: and lead me in the eternal way.
