ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 140

LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ψαλμος τω δαυιδ κυριε εκεκραξα προς σε εισακουσον μου προσχες τη φωνη της δεησεως μου εν τω κεκραγεναι με προς σε	1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried out to you, hear me. Attend to my voice, when I cry out to you.
2 κατευθυνθητω η προσευχη μου ως θυμιαμα ενωπιον σου επαρσις των χειρων μου θυσια εσπερινη	2 Let my prayer be guided like incense in your sight: the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice.
3 θου κυριε φυλακην τω στοματι μου και θυραν περιοχης περι τα χειλη μου	3 O Lord, station a guard over my mouth and a door enclosing my lips.
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	4 Do not turn aside my heart to words of malice, to making excuses for sins, with men who work iniquity; and I will not communicate, even with the best of them.
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	5 The just one will correct me with mercy, and he will rebuke me. But do not allow the oil of the sinner to fatten my head. For my prayer will still be toward their good will.
6 κατεποθησαν εχομενα πετρας οι κριται αυτων ακουσονται τα ρηματα μου οτι ηδυνθησαν	6 Their judges have been engulfed, joined to the rocks. They will hear my words, which have prevailed,
7 ωσει παχος γης διερραγη επι της γης διεσκορπισθη τα οστα ημων παρα τον αδην	7 as when the lava of the earth has erupted above ground. Our bones have been scattered beside Hell.
8 οτι προς σε κυριε κυριε οι οφθαλμοι μου επι σε ηλπισα μη αντανελης την ψυχην μου	8 For Lord, O Lord, my eyes look to you. In you, I have hoped. Do not take away my soul.
9 φυλαξον με απο παγιδος ης συνεστησαντο μοι και απο σκανδαλων των εργαζομενων την ανομιαν	9 Protect me from the snare that they have set up for me and from the scandals of those who work iniquity.
10 πεσουνται εν αμφιβληστρω αυτου αμαρτωλοι κατα μονας ειμι εγω εως ου αν παρελθω	10 The sinners will fall into his net. I am alone, until I pass over.
