Psalms 140

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
1 Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me:	1 ψαλμος τω δαυιδ κυριε εκεκραξα προς σε εισακουσον μου προσχες τη φωνη της δεησεως μου εν τω κεκραγεναι με προς σε
2 thou hast know my sitting down, and my rising up.	2 κατευθυνθητω η προσευχη μου ως θυμιαμα ενωπιον σου επαρσις των χειρων μου θυσια εσπερινη
3 Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: my path and my line thou hast searched out.	3 θου κυριε φυλακην τω στοματι μου και θυραν περιοχης περι τα χειλη μου
4 And thou hast foreseen all my ways: for there is no speech in my tongue.	4 μη εκκλινης την καρδιαν μου εις λογους πονηριας του προφασιζεσθαι προφασεις εν αμαρτιαις συν ανθρωποις εργαζομενοις ανομιαν και ου μη συνδυασω μετα των εκλεκτων αυτων
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.	5 παιδευσει με δικαιος εν ελεει και ελεγξει με ελαιον δε αμαρτωλου μη λιπανατω την κεφαλην μου οτι ετι και η προσευχη μου εν ταις ευδοκιαις αυτων
6 Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: it is high, and I cannot reach to it.	6 κατεποθησαν εχομενα πετρας οι κριται αυτων ακουσονται τα ρηματα μου οτι ηδυνθησαν
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy face?	7 ωσει παχος γης διερραγη επι της γης διεσκορπισθη τα οστα ημων παρα τον αδην
8 If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I descend into hell, thou art present.	8 οτι προς σε κυριε κυριε οι οφθαλμοι μου επι σε ηλπισα μη αντανελης την ψυχην μου
9 If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:	9 φυλαξον με απο παγιδος ης συνεστησαντο μοι και απο σκανδαλων των εργαζομενων την ανομιαν
10 Even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me.	10 πεσουνται εν αμφιβληστρω αυτου αμαρτωλοι κατα μονας ειμι εγω εως ου αν παρελθω
11 And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: and night shall be my light in my pleasures.
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 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.
