ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 40

LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 εις το τελος ψαλμος τω δαυιδ	1 Unto the end, a psalm for David himself.
2 μακαριος ο συνιων επι πτωχον και πενητα εν ημερα πονηρα ρυσεται αυτον ο κυριος	2 With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.
3 κυριος διαφυλαξαι αυτον και ζησαι αυτον και μακαρισαι αυτον εν τη γη και μη παραδωη αυτον εις χειρας εχθρου αυτου	3 And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs. And he set my feet upon a rock, and directed my steps.
4 κυριος βοηθησαι αυτω επι κλινης οδυνης αυτου ολην την κοιτην αυτου εστρεψας εν τη αρρωστια αυτου	4 And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear : and they shall hope in the Lord.
5 εγω ειπα κυριε ελεησον με ιασαι την ψυχην μου οτι ημαρτον σοι	5 Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.
6 οι εχθροι μου ειπαν κακα μοι ποτε αποθανειται και απολειται το ονομα αυτου	6 Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God : and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number.
7 και ει εισεπορευετο του ιδειν ματην ελαλει η καρδια αυτου συνηγαγεν ανομιαν εαυτω εξεπορευετο εξω και ελαλει	7 Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require :
8 επι το αυτο κατ' εμου εψιθυριζον παντες οι εχθροι μου κατ' εμου ελογιζοντο κακα μοι	8 then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me
9 λογον παρανομον κατεθεντο κατ' εμου μη ο κοιμωμενος ουχι προσθησει του αναστηναι	9 that I should do thy will : O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.
10 και γαρ ο ανθρωπος της ειρηνης μου εφ' ον ηλπισα ο εσθιων αρτους μου εμεγαλυνεν επ' εμε πτερνισμον	10 I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not restrain my lips : O Lord, thou knowest it.
11 συ δε κυριε ελεησον με και αναστησον με και ανταποδωσω αυτοις	11 I have not hid thy justice within my heart : I have declared thy truth and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from a great council.
12 εν τουτω εγνων οτι τεθεληκας με οτι ου μη επιχαρη ο εχθρος μου επ' εμε	12 Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me : thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.
13 εμου δε δια την ακακιαν αντελαβου και εβεβαιωσας με ενωπιον σου εις τον αιωνα	13 For evils without number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head : and my heart hath forsaken me.
14 ευλογητος κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ απο του αιωνος και εις τον αιωνα γενοιτο γενοιτο	14 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me, look down, O Lord, to help me.
	15 Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul to take it away. Let them be turned backward and be ashamed that desire evils to me.
	16 Let them immediately bear their confusion, that say to me : 'T is well, 't is well.
	17 Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee : and let such as love thy salvation say always : The Lord be magnified.
	18 But I am a beggar and poor : the Lord is careful for me. Thou art my helper and my protector : O my God, be not slack.
