ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 39

LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 εις το τελος τω δαυιδ ψαλμος	1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David himself.
2 υπομενων υπεμεινα τον κυριον και προσεσχεν μοι και εισηκουσεν της δεησεως μου	2 I have waited expectantly for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.
3 και ανηγαγεν με εκ λακκου ταλαιπωριας και απο πηλου ιλυος και εστησεν επι πετραν τους ποδας μου και κατηυθυνεν τα διαβηματα μου	3 And he heard my prayers and he led me out of the pit of misery and the quagmire. And he stationed my feet upon a rock, and he directed my steps.
4 και ενεβαλεν εις το στομα μου ασμα καινον υμνον τω θεω ημων οψονται πολλοι και φοβηθησονται και ελπιουσιν επι κυριον	4 And he sent a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many will see, and they will fear; and they will hope in the Lord.
5 μακαριος ανηρ ου εστιν το ονομα κυριου ελπις αυτου και ουκ ενεβλεψεν εις ματαιοτητας και μανιας ψευδεις	5 Blessed is the man whose hope is in the name of the Lord, and who has no respect for vanities and absurd falsehoods.
6 πολλα εποιησας συ κυριε ο θεος μου τα θαυμασια σου και τοις διαλογισμοις σου ουκ εστιν τις ομοιωθησεται σοι απηγγειλα και ελαλησα επληθυνθησαν υπερ αριθμον	6 You have accomplished your many wonders, O Lord my God, and there is no one similar to you in your thoughts. I have announced and I have spoken: they are multiplied beyond number.
7 θυσιαν και προσφοραν ουκ ηθελησας ωτια δε κατηρτισω μοι ολοκαυτωμα και περι αμαρτιας ουκ ητησας	7 Sacrifice and oblation, you did not want. But you have perfected ears for me. Holocaust and sin offering, you did not require.
8 τοτε ειπον ιδου ηκω εν κεφαλιδι βιβλιου γεγραπται περι εμου	8 Then I said, “Behold, I draw near.” At the head of the book, it has been written of me:
9 του ποιησαι το θελημα σου ο θεος μου εβουληθην και τον νομον σου εν μεσω της κοιλιας μου	9 that I should do your will. My God, I have willed it. And your law is in the midst of my heart.
10 ευηγγελισαμην δικαιοσυνην εν εκκλησια μεγαλη ιδου τα χειλη μου ου μη κωλυσω κυριε συ εγνως	10 I have announced your justice in a great Church: behold, I will not restrain my lips. O Lord, you have known it.
11 την δικαιοσυνην σου ουκ εκρυψα εν τη καρδια μου την αληθειαν σου και το σωτηριον σου ειπα ουκ εκρυψα το ελεος σου και την αληθειαν σου απο συναγωγης πολλης	11 I have not concealed your justice within my heart. I have spoken your truth and your salvation. I have not concealed your mercy and your truth from a great assembly.
12 συ δε κυριε μη μακρυνης τους οικτιρμους σου απ' εμου το ελεος σου και η αληθεια σου δια παντος αντελαβοντο μου	12 O Lord, do not take your tender mercies far from me. Your mercy and your truth ever sustain me.
13 οτι περιεσχον με κακα ων ουκ εστιν αριθμος κατελαβον με αι ανομιαι μου και ουκ ηδυνηθην του βλεπειν επληθυνθησαν υπερ τας τριχας της κεφαλης μου και η καρδια μου εγκατελιπεν με	13 For evils without number have surrounded me. My iniquities have taken hold of me, and I was not able to see. They have been multiplied beyond the hairs of my head. And my heart has forsaken me.
14 ευδοκησον κυριε του ρυσασθαι με κυριε εις το βοηθησαι μοι προσχες	14 Be pleased, O Lord, to rescue me. Look down, O Lord, to help me.
15 καταισχυνθειησαν και εντραπειησαν αμα οι ζητουντες την ψυχην μου του εξαραι αυτην αποστραφειησαν εις τα οπισω και εντραπειησαν οι θελοντες μοι κακα	15 Let them together be confounded and awed, who seek after my soul to steal it away. Let them be turned back and be in awe, who wish evils upon me.
16 κομισασθωσαν παραχρημα αισχυνην αυτων οι λεγοντες μοι ευγε ευγε	16 Let them bear their confusion all at once, who say to me, “Well, well.”
17 αγαλλιασαιντο και ευφρανθειησαν επι σοι παντες οι ζητουντες σε κυριε και ειπατωσαν δια παντος μεγαλυνθητω ο κυριος οι αγαπωντες το σωτηριον σου	17 Let all who seek you exult and rejoice over you. And let those who love your salvation always say, “May the Lord be magnified.”
18 εγω δε πτωχος ειμι και πενης κυριος φροντιει μου βοηθος μου και υπερασπιστης μου συ ει ο θεος μου μη χρονισης	18 But I am a beggar and poor. The Lord has been concerned about me. You are my helper and my protector. My God, do not delay.
