Psalms 39

Catholic Public Domain Bible	Modern Greek Bible
¹ Unto the end. A Psalm of David himself.	¹ Εις τον πρωτον μουσικον, τον Ιεδουθουν. Ψαλμος του Δαβιδ.>> Ειπα, Θελω προσεχει εις τας οδους μου, δια να μη αμαρτανω δια της γλωσσης μου? θελω φυλαττει το στομα μου με χαλινον, ενω ειναι ο ασεβης εμπροσθεν μου.
² I have waited expectantly for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.	² Εσταθην αφωνος και σιωπηλος? εσιωπησα και απο του να λεγω καλον? και ο πονος μου ανεταραχθη.
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.	³ Εθερμανθη η καρδια μου εντος μου? ενω εμελετων, εξηφθη εν εμοι πυρ? ελαλησα δια της γλωσσης μου και ειπα,
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.	⁴ Καμε γνωστον εις εμε, Κυριε, το τελος μου και τον αριθμον των ημερων μου, τις ειναι, δια να γνωρισω ποσον ετι θελω ζησει.
⁵ Blessed is the man whose hope is in the name of the Lord, and who has no respect for vanities and absurd falsehoods.	⁵ Ιδου, μετρον σπιθαμης κατεστησας τας ημερας μου, και ο καιρος της ζωης μου ειναι ως ουδεν εμπροσθεν σου? επ' αληθειας πας ανθρωπος, καιτοι στερεος, ειναι ολως ματαιοτης. Διαψαλμα.
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.	⁶ Βεβαιως ο ανθρωπος περιπατει εν φαντασια? βεβαιως εις ματην ταραττεται? θησαυριζει, και δεν εξευρει τις θελει συναξει αυτα.
⁷ Sacrifice and oblation, you did not want. But you have perfected ears for me. Holocaust and sin offering, you did not require.	⁷ Και τωρα, Κυριε, τι περιμενω; η ελπις μου ειναι επι σε.
⁸ Then I said, “Behold, I draw near.” At the head of the book, it has been written of me:	⁸ Απο πασων των ανομιων μου λυτρωσον με? μη με καμης ονειδος του αφρονος.
⁹ that I should do your will. My God, I have willed it. And your law is in the midst of my heart.	⁹ Εγεινα αφωνος? δεν ηνοιξα το στομα μου, επειδη συ εκαμες τουτο.
¹⁰ I have announced your justice in a great Church: behold, I will not restrain my lips. O Lord, you have known it.	¹⁰ Απομακρυνον απ' εμου την πληγην σου? απο της παλης της χειρος σου εγω απεκαμον.
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.	¹¹ Οταν δι' ελεγχων παιδευης ανθρωπον δια ανομιαν, Κατατρωγεις ως σκωληξ την ωραιοτητα αυτου? τω οντι ματαιοτης πας ανθρωπος. Διαψαλμα.
¹² O Lord, do not take your tender mercies far from me. Your mercy and your truth ever sustain me.	¹² Εισακουσον, Κυριε, της προσευχης μου και δος ακροασιν εις την κραυγην μου? μη παρασιωπησης εις τα δακρυα μου. Διοτι παροικος ειμαι παρα σοι και παρεπιδημος, καθως παντες οι πατερες μου.
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.	¹³ Παυσαι απ' εμου, δια να αναλαβω δυναμιν, πριν αποδημησω και δεν υπαρχω πλεον.
¹⁴ Be pleased, O Lord, to rescue me. Look down, O Lord, to help me.
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 Let them bear their confusion all at once, who say to me, “Well, well.”
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 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.
