For the end, [a Psalm] of David upon Maeleth, of instruction.
Greek · SeptuagintΕἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ μαελὲθ συνέσεως τῷ Δαυίδ.
Hebrew / Jewish
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament)
Psalms
The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that does good.
Greek · SeptuagintΕἶπεν ἄφρων ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἔστι Θεός· διέφθειραν, καὶ ἐβδελύχθησαν ἐν ἀνομίαις· οὐκ ἔστι ποιῶν ἀγαθόν.
God looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after God.
Greek · SeptuagintὉ Θεὸς ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ διέκυψεν ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων, τοῦ ἰδεῖν εἰ ἔστι συνιῶν, ἢ ἐκζητῶν τὸν Θεόν.
They have all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, there is not even one.
Greek · SeptuagintΠάντες ἐξέκλιναν, ἅμα ἠχρειώθησαν, οὐκ ἔστι ποιῶν ἀγαθὸν, οὐκ ἔστιν ἕως ἑνός.
Will none of the workers of iniquity know, who devour my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon God. There were they greatly afraid, where there was no fear:
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐχὶ γνώσονται πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν, οἱ κατεσθίοντες τὸν λαόν μου βρώσει ἄρτου; τὸν Θεὸν οὐκ ἐπεκαλέσαντο.
for God has scattered the bones of the men-pleasers; they were ashamed, for God despised them.
Greek · SeptuagintἘκεῖ ἐφοβήθησαν φόβον, οὗ οὐκ ἦν φόβος· ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς διεσκόρπισεν ὀστᾶ ἀνθρωπαρέσκων, κατῃσχύνθησαν, ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ἐξουδένωσεν αὐτούς.
Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? When the Lord turns the captivity of his people, Jacob shall exult, and Israel shall be glad.
Greek · SeptuagintΤίς δώσει ἐκ Σιὼν τὸ σωτήριον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ; ἐν τῷ ἀποστρέψαι Κύριον τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, ἀγαλλιάσεται Ἰακὼβ, καὶ εὐφρανθήσεται Ἰσραήλ.
For the end, among the Hymns of instruction by David,
Greek · SeptuagintΕἰς τὸ τέλος, ἐν ὕμνοις συνέσεως τῷ Δαυὶδ,
when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hid with us?
Greek · Septuagintἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν τοὺς Ζειφαίους, καὶ εἰπεῖν τῷ Σαοὺλ, οὐκ ἰδοὺ Δαυὶδ κέκρυπται παρʼ ἡμῖν;
Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy might.
Greek · SeptuagintὉ Θεὸς ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου σῶσόν με, καὶ ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου κρῖνόν με.
O God, hear my prayer; hearken to the words of my mouth.
Greek · SeptuagintὉ Θεὸς εἰσάκουσον τῆς προσευχῆς μου, ἐνώτισαι τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματός μου.
For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. Pause.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι ἀλλότριοι ἐπανέστησαν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ, καὶ κραταιοὶ ἐζήτησαν τὴν ψυχήν μου, οὐ προέθεντο τὸν Θεὸν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν· διάψαλμα.
For lo! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ γὰρ ὁ Θεὸς βοηθεῖ μοι, καὶ ὁ Κύριος ἀντιλήπτωρ τῆς ψυχῆς μου.
He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in thy truth.
Greek · SeptuagintἈποστρέψει τὰ κακὰ τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου, ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου ἐξολόθρευσον αὐτούς.
I will willingly sacrifice to thee: I will give thanks to thy name, O Lord; for [it is] good.
Greek · SeptuagintἙκουσίως θύσω σοι, ἐξομολογήσομαι τῷ ὀνόματί σου Κύριε, ὅτι ἀγαθόν.
For thou hast delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι ἐκ πάσης θλίψεως ἐῤῥύσω με, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου ἐπεῖδεν ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου.
For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David.
Greek · SeptuagintΕἰς τὸ τέλος, ἐν ὕμνοις συνέσεως τῷ Δαυίδ.
Hearken, O God, to my prayer; and disregard not my supplication.
Greek · SeptuagintἘνωτίσαι ὁ Θεὸς τὴν προσευχήν μου, καὶ μὴ ὑπερίδῃς τὴν δέησίν μου·
Attend to me, and hearken to me: I was grieved in my meditation, and troubled;
Greek · SeptuagintΠρόσχες μοι, καὶ εἰσάκουσόν μου· ἐλυπήθην ἐν τῇ ἀδολεσχίᾳ μου, καὶ ἐταράχθην
because of the voice of the enemy, and because of the oppression of the sinner: for they brought iniquity against me, and were wrathfully angry with me.
Greek · Septuagintἀπὸ φωνῆς ἐχθροῦ, καὶ ἀπὸ θλίψεως ἁμαρτωλοῦ· ὅτι ἐξέκλιναν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἀνομίαν, καὶ ἐν ὀργῇ ἐνεκότουν μοι.
My heart was troubled within me; and the fear of death fell upon me.

Fear and trembling came upon me, and darkness covered me.
Greek · SeptuagintΦόβος καὶ τρόμος ἦλθεν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ καὶ ἐκάλυψέ με σκότος.
And I said, O that I had wings as [those] of a dove! then would I flee away, and be at rest.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπα, τίς δώσει μοι πτέρυγας ὡσεὶ περιστερᾶς; καὶ πετασθήσομαι καὶ καταπαύσω.
Lo! I have fled afar off, and lodged in the wilderness. Pause.
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ ἐμάκρυνα φυγαδεύων, καὶ ηὐλίσθην ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· διάψαλμα.
I waited for him that should deliver me from distress of spirit and tempest.
Greek · SeptuagintΠροσεδεχόμην τὸν σώζοντά με ἀπὸ ὀλιγοψυχίας καὶ καταιγίδος.
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen iniquity and gainsaying in the city.

Day and night he shall go round about it upon its walls: iniquity and sorrow and unrighteousness [are] in the midst of it;
Greek · SeptuagintἩμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς κυκλώσει αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὰ τείχη αὐτῆς, ἀνομία καὶ πόνος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς
and usury and craft have not failed from its streets.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἀδικία, καὶ οὐκ ἐξέλιπεν ἐκ τῶν πλατειῶν αὐτῆς τόκος καὶ δόλος.
For if an enemy had reproached me, I would have endured it; and if one who hated [me] had spoken vauntingly against me, I would have hid myself from him.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι εἰ ἐχθρὸς ὠνείδισέ με, ὑπήνεγκα ἂν, καὶ εἰ ὁ μισῶν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἐμεγαλοῤῥημόνησεν, ἐκρύβην ἂν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.
But thou, O man likeminded, my guide, and my acquaintance,
Greek · SeptuagintΣὺ δὲ ἄνθρωπε ἰσόψυχε, ἡγεμών μου καὶ γνωστέ μου,
who in companionship with me sweetened [our] food: we walked in the house of God in concord.
Greek · Septuagintὃς ἐπιτοαυτὸ ἐγλύκανας ἐδέσματα, ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπορεύθημεν ἐν ὁμονοίᾳ.
Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into Hades, for iniquity is in their dwellings, in the midst of them.
Greek · SeptuagintἘλθέτω θάνατος ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, καὶ καταβήτωσαν εἰς ᾅδου ζῶντες· ὅτι πονηρία ἐν ταῖς παροικίαις αὐτῶν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.
I cried to God, and the Lord hearkened to me.

He shall deliver my soul in peace from them that draw nigh to me: for they were with me in many [cases].
Greek · SeptuagintΛυτρώσεται ἐν εἰρήνῃ τὴν ψυχήν μου ἀπὸ τῶν ἐγγιζόντων μοι, ὅτι ἐν πολλοῖς ἦσαν σὺν ἐμοί.
God shall hear, and bring them low, [even] he that has existed from eternity. Pause. For they suffer no reverse, and [therefore] they have not feared God.
Greek · SeptuagintΕἰσακούσεται ὁ Θεὸς καὶ ταπεινώσει αὐτοὺς, ὁ ὑπάρχων πρὸ τῶν αἰώνων· διάψαλμα·
He has reached forth his hand for retribution; they have profaned his covenant.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐ γάρ ἐστιν αὐτοῖς ἀντάλλαγμα, καὶ οὐκ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν Θεόν. Ἐξέτεινε τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ἀποδιδόναι· ἐβεβήλωσαν τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ.
They were scattered at the anger of his countenance, and his heart drew nigh them. His words were smoother than oil, yet are they darts.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιεμερίσθησαν ἀπὸ ὀργῆς τοῦ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἤγγισεν ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ· ἡπαλύνθησαν οἱ λόγοι αὐτοῦ ὑπὲρ ἔλαιον, καὶ αὐτοί εἰσι βολίδες.
Cast thy care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee; he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Greek · SeptuagintἘπίῤῥιψον ἐπὶ Κύριον τὴν μέριμνάν σου, καὶ αὐτός σε διαθρέψει, οὐ δώσει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα σάλον τῷ δικαίῳ.
But thou, O God, shalt bring them down to the pit of destruction; bloody and crafty men shall not live out half their days; but I will hope in thee, O Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintΣὺ δὲ ὁ Θεὸς κατάξεις αὐτοὺς εἰς φρέαρ διαφθορᾶς· ἄνδρες αἱμάτων καὶ δολιότητος οὐ μὴ ἡμισεύσωσι τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτῶν· ἐγὼ δὲ ἐλπιῶ ἐπὶ σε, Κύριε.
For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth.

They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.
Greek · SeptuagintΠαροικήσουσι καὶ κατακρύψουσιν αὐτοὶ, τὴν πτέρναν μου φυλάξουσι· καθάπερ ὑπέμεινα τῇ ψυχῇ μου.
Thou wilt on no account save them; thou wilt bring down the people in wrath.
Greek · SeptuagintὙπὲρ τοῦ μηθενὸς σώσεις αὐτοὺς ἐν ὀργῇ λαοὺς κατάξεις· ὁ Θεὸς
O God, I have declared my life to thee; thou hast set my tears before thee, even according to thy promise.

Their venom is like [that] of a serpent; as [that] of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears;
Greek · SeptuagintΘυμὸς αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὴν ὁμοίωσιν τοῦ ὄφεως, ὡσεὶ ἀσπίδος κωφῆς, καὶ βυούσης τὰ ὦτα αὐτῆς,

Before your thorns feel the white thorn, he shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath.
