ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 59

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 εις το τελος τοις αλλοιωθησομενοις ετι εις στηλογραφιαν τω δαυιδ εις διδαχην	1 For the director. Do not destroy. A miktam of David, when Saul sent people to watch his house and kill him.
2 οποτε ενεπυρισεν την μεσοποταμιαν συριας και την συριαν σωβα και επεστρεψεν ιωαβ και επαταξεν την φαραγγα των αλων δωδεκα χιλιαδας	2 Rescue me from my enemies, my God; lift me out of reach of my foes.
3 ο θεος απωσω ημας και καθειλες ημας ωργισθης και οικτιρησας ημας	3 Deliver me from evildoers; from the bloodthirsty save me.
4 συνεσεισας την γην και συνεταραξας αυτην ιασαι τα συντριμματα αυτης οτι εσαλευθη	4 They have set an ambush for my life; the powerful conspire against me. For no offense or misdeed of mine, LORD,
5 εδειξας τω λαω σου σκληρα εποτισας ημας οινον κατανυξεως	5 for no fault they hurry to take up arms. Come near and see my plight!
6 εδωκας τοις φοβουμενοις σε σημειωσιν του φυγειν απο προσωπου τοξου διαψαλμα	6 You, LORD of hosts, are the God of Israel! Awake! Punish all the nations. Have no mercy on these worthless traitors. Selah
7 οπως αν ρυσθωσιν οι αγαπητοι σου σωσον τη δεξια σου και επακουσον μου	7 Each evening they return, growling like dogs, prowling the city.
8 ο θεος ελαλησεν εν τω αγιω αυτου αγαλλιασομαι και διαμεριω σικιμα και την κοιλαδα των σκηνων διαμετρησω	8 Their mouths pour out insult; sharp words are on their lips. They say: "Who is there to hear?"
9 εμος εστιν γαλααδ και εμος εστιν μανασση και εφραιμ κραταιωσις της κεφαλης μου ιουδας βασιλευς μου	9 You, LORD, laugh at them; you deride all the nations.
10 μωαβ λεβης της ελπιδος μου επι την ιδουμαιαν εκτενω το υποδημα μου εμοι αλλοφυλοι υπεταγησαν	10 My strength, for you I watch; you, God, are my fortress,
11 τις απαξει με εις πολιν περιοχης τις οδηγησει με εως της ιδουμαιας	11 my loving God.
12 ουχι συ ο θεος ο απωσαμενος ημας και ουκ εξελευση ο θεος εν ταις δυναμεσιν ημων	12 May God go before me, and show me my fallen foes. Slay them, God, lest they deceive my people. Shake them by your power; Lord, our shield, bring them down.
13 δος ημιν βοηθειαν εκ θλιψεως και ματαια σωτηρια ανθρωπου	13 For the sinful words of their mouths and lips let them be caught in their pride. For the lies they have told under oath
14 εν δε τω θεω ποιησομεν δυναμιν και αυτος εξουδενωσει τους θλιβοντας ημας	14 destroy them in anger, destroy till they are no more. Then people will know God rules over Jacob, yes, even to the ends of the earth. Selah
	15 Each evening they return, growling like dogs, prowling the city.
	16 They roam about as scavengers; if they are not filled, they howl.
	17 But I shall sing of your strength, extol your love at dawn, For you are my fortress, my refuge in time of trouble.
	18 My strength, your praise I will sing; you, God, are my fortress, my loving God.
