ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 27

LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 του δαυιδ προς σε κυριε εκεκραξα ο θεος μου μη παρασιωπησης απ' εμου μηποτε παρασιωπησης απ' εμου και ομοιωθησομαι τοις καταβαινουσιν εις λακκον	1 The psalm of David before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?
2 εισακουσον της φωνης της δεησεως μου εν τω δεεσθαι με προς σε εν τω με αιρειν χειρας μου προς ναον αγιον σου	2 Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.
3 μη συνελκυσης μετα αμαρτωλων την ψυχην μου και μετα εργαζομενων αδικιαν μη συναπολεσης με των λαλουντων ειρηνην μετα των πλησιον αυτων κακα δε εν ταις καρδιαις αυτων	3 If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If a battle should rise up against me, in this will I be confident.
4 δος αυτοις κατα τα εργα αυτων και κατα την πονηριαν των επιτηδευματων αυτων κατα τα εργα των χειρων αυτων δος αυτοις αποδος το ανταποδομα αυτων αυτοις	4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.
5 οτι ου συνηκαν εις τα εργα κυριου και εις τα εργα των χειρων αυτου καθελεις αυτους και ου μη οικοδομησεις αυτους	5 For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.
6 ευλογητος κυριος οτι εισηκουσεν της φωνης της δεησεως μου	6 He hath exalted me upon a rock: and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies. I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.
7 κυριος βοηθος μου και υπερασπιστης μου επ' αυτω ηλπισεν η καρδια μου και εβοηθηθην και ανεθαλεν η σαρξ μου και εκ θεληματος μου εξομολογησομαι αυτω	7 Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me.
8 κυριος κραταιωμα του λαου αυτου και υπερασπιστης των σωτηριων του χριστου αυτου εστιν	8 My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.
9 σωσον τον λαον σου και ευλογησον την κληρονομιαν σου και ποιμανον αυτους και επαρον αυτους εως του αιωνος	9 Turn not away thy face from me; decline not in thy wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper, forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.
	10 For my father and my mother have left me: but the Lord hath taken me up.
	11 Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies.
	12 Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself.
	13 I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
	14 Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord.
