ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 143

LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 τω δαυιδ προς τον γολιαδ ευλογητος κυριος ο θεος μου ο διδασκων τας χειρας μου εις παραταξιν τους δακτυλους μου εις πολεμον	1 A Psalm of David versus Goliath. Blessed is the Lord, my God, who trains my hands for the battle and my fingers for the war.
2 ελεος μου και καταφυγη μου αντιλημπτωρ μου και ρυστης μου υπερασπιστης μου και επ' αυτω ηλπισα ο υποτασσων τον λαον μου υπ' εμε	2 My mercy and my refuge, my supporter and my deliverer, my protector and him in whom I have hoped: he subdues my people under me.
3 κυριε τι εστιν ανθρωπος οτι εγνωσθης αυτω η υιος ανθρωπου οτι λογιζη αυτον	3 O Lord, what is man that you have become known to him? Or the son of man that you consider him?
4 ανθρωπος ματαιοτητι ωμοιωθη αι ημεραι αυτου ωσει σκια παραγουσιν	4 Man has been made similar to vanity. His days pass by like a shadow.
5 κυριε κλινον ουρανους σου και καταβηθι αψαι των ορεων και καπνισθησονται	5 O Lord, incline your heavens and descend. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
6 αστραψον αστραπην και σκορπιεις αυτους εξαποστειλον τα βελη σου και συνταραξεις αυτους	6 Send a flash of lightning, and you will scatter them. Shoot your arrows, and you will set them in disarray.
7 εξαποστειλον την χειρα σου εξ υψους εξελου με και ρυσαι με εξ υδατων πολλων εκ χειρος υιων αλλοτριων	7 Send forth your hand from on high: rescue me, and free me from many waters, from the hand of the sons of foreigners.
8 ων το στομα ελαλησεν ματαιοτητα και η δεξια αυτων δεξια αδικιας	8 Their mouth has been speaking vain things, and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity.
9 ο θεος ωδην καινην ασομαι σοι εν ψαλτηριω δεκαχορδω ψαλω σοι	9 To you, O God, I will sing a new song. On the psaltery, with an instrument of ten strings, I will sing psalms to you.
10 τω διδοντι την σωτηριαν τοις βασιλευσιν τω λυτρουμενω δαυιδ τον δουλον αυτου εκ ρομφαιας πονηρας	10 He gives salvation to kings. He has redeemed your servant David from the malignant sword.
11 ρυσαι με και εξελου με εκ χειρος υιων αλλοτριων ων το στομα ελαλησεν ματαιοτητα και η δεξια αυτων δεξια αδικιας	11 Rescue me, and deliver me from the hand of the sons of foreigners. Their mouth has been speaking vain things, and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity.
12 ων οι υιοι ως νεοφυτα ηδρυμμενα εν τη νεοτητι αυτων αι θυγατερες αυτων κεκαλλωπισμεναι περικεκοσμημεναι ως ομοιωμα ναου	12 Their sons are like new plantings in their youth. Their daughters are dressed up: adorned all around like the idols of a temple.
13 τα ταμιεια αυτων πληρη εξερευγομενα εκ τουτου εις τουτο τα προβατα αυτων πολυτοκα πληθυνοντα εν ταις εξοδοις αυτων	13 Their cupboards are full: overflowing from one thing into another. Their sheep bear young, brought forth in abundance.
14 οι βοες αυτων παχεις ουκ εστιν καταπτωμα φραγμου ουδε διεξοδος ουδε κραυγη εν ταις πλατειαις αυτων	14 Their cattle are fat. There is no ruined wall or passage, nor anyone crying out in their streets.
15 εμακαρισαν τον λαον ω ταυτα εστιν μακαριος ο λαος ου κυριος ο θεος αυτου	15 They have called the people that has these things: blessed. But blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.
