I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιελογισάμην ἡμέρας ἀρχαίας, καὶ ἔτη αἰώνια
Hebrew / Jewish
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament)
Psalms
And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, [saying],
Greek · Septuagintἐμνήσθην, καὶ ἐμελέτησα· νυκτὸς μετὰ τῆς καρδίας μου ἠδολέσχουν, καὶ ἔσκαλλον τὸ πνεῦμά μου.
Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?
Greek · SeptuagintΜὴ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας ἀπώσεται Κύριος, καὶ οὐ προσθήσει τοῦ εὐδοκῆσαι ἔτι;
Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?
Greek · SeptuagintἪ εἰς τέλος ἀποκόψει τὸ ἔλεος ἀπὸ γενεᾶς καὶ γενεᾶς;
Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? Pause.
Greek · SeptuagintἪ ἐπιλήσεται τοῦ οἰκτειρῆσαι ὁ Θεὸς, ἢ συνέξει ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ τοὺς οἰκτιρμοὺς αὐτοῦ; διάψαλμα.
And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπα, νῦν ἠρξάμην, αὕτη ἡ ἀλλοίωσις τῆς δεξιᾶς τοῦ ὑψίστου.
I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember thy wonders from the beginning.
Greek · SeptuagintἘμνήσθην τῶν ἔργων Κυρίου, ὅτι μνησθήσομαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς τῶν θαυμασίων σου,
And I will meditate on all thy works, and will consider thy doings.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ μελετήσω ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔργοις σου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασί σου ἀδολεσχήσω.
O God, thy way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?
Greek · SeptuagintὉ Θεὸς ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ ἡ ὁδός σου, τίς θεὸς μέγας ὡς ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν;
Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast made known thy power among the nations.
Greek · SeptuagintΣὺ εἶ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ποιῶν θαυμάσια, ἐγνώρισας ἐν τοῖς λαοῖς τὴν δύναμίν σου·
Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Pause.
Greek · Septuagintἐλυτρώσω ἐν τῷ βραχίονί σου τὸν λαόν σου, τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰακὼβ καὶ Ἰωσήφ· διάψαλμα.
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee, and feared; and the depths were troubled.
Greek · SeptuagintΕἴδοσάν σε ὕδατα ὁ Θεὸς, εἴδοσάν σε ὕδατα καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν, καὶ ἐταράχθησαν ἄβυσσοι.
[There was] an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for thine arrows went abroad.
Greek · SeptuagintΠλῆθος ἤχους ὑδάτων, φωνὴν ἔδωκαν αἱ νεφέλαι· καὶ γὰρ τὰ βέλη σου διαπορεύονται.
The voice of thy thunder was abroad, and around thy lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
Greek · SeptuagintΦωνὴ τῆς βροντῆς σου ἐν τῷ τροχῷ· ἔφαναν αἱ ἀστραπαί σου τῇ οἰκουμένῃ, ἐσαλεύθη καὶ ἔντρομος ἐγενήθη ἡ γῆ.
Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters, and thy footsteps cannot be known.
Greek · SeptuagintἘν τῇ θαλάσσῃ ἡ ὁδός σου, καὶ αἱ τρίβοι σου ἐν ὕδασι πολλοῖς, καὶ τὰ ἴχνη σου οὐ γνωσθήσονται.
Thou didst guide thy people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Greek · SeptuagintὩδήγησας ὡς πρόβατα τὸν λαόν σου ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ καὶ Ἀαρών.
[A Psalm] of instruction for Asaph. Give heed, O my people, to my law: incline your ear to the words of my mouth.
Greek · SeptuagintΣυνέσεως τῷ Ἀσάφ. Προσέχετε λαός μου τὸν νόμον μου, κλίνατε τὸ οὖς ὑμῶν εἰς τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματός μου.
I will open my mouth in parables: I will utter dark sayings [which have been] from the beginning.
Greek · SeptuagintἈνοίξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τὸ στόμα μου, φθέγξομαι προβλήματα ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς.
All which we have heard and known, and our fathers have declared to us.
Greek · SeptuagintὍσα ἠκούσαμεν καὶ ἔγνωμεν αὐτὰ, καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν διηγήσαντο ἡμῖν.
They were not hid from their children to a second generation; [the fathers] declaring the praises of the Lord, and his mighty acts, and his wonders which he wrought.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐκ ἐκρύβη ἀπὸ τῶν τέκνων αὐτῶν εἰς γενεὰν ἑτέραν, ἀπαγγέλλοντες τὰς αἰνέσεις Κυρίου καὶ τὰς δυναστείας αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ ἃ ἐποίησε.
And he raised up a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, to make it known to their children:
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀνέστησε μαρτύριον ἐν Ἰακὼβ, καὶ νόμον ἔθετο ἐν Ἰσραήλ· ὃν ἐνετείλατο τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν, γνωρίσαι αὐτὸν τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῶν,
that another generation might know, even the sons which should be born; and they should arise and declare them to their children.
Greek · Septuagintὅπως ἂν γνῷ γενεὰ ἑτέρα, υἱοὶ οἱ τεχθησόμενοι, καὶ ἀναστήσονται καὶ ἀπαγγελοῦσιν αὐτὰ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῶν·
That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the works of God, but diligently seek his commandments.
Greek · Septuagintἵνα θῶνται ἐπὶ τὸν Θεὸν τὴν ἐλπίδα αὐτῶν, καὶ μὴ ἐπιλάθωνται τῶν ἔργων τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ ἐκζητήσωσιν.
That they should not be as their fathers, a perverse and provoking generation; a generation which set not its heart aright, and its spirit was not steadfast with God.
Greek · SeptuagintἽνα μὴ γένωνται ὡς οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν, γενεὰ σκολιὰ καὶ παραπικραίνουσα, γενεὰ ἥτις οὐ κατεύθυνεν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστώθη μετὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτῆς.
The children of Ephraim, bending and shooting [with] the bow, turned [back] in the day of battle.
Greek · SeptuagintΥἱοὶ Ἐφραὶμ ἐντεινοντες καὶ βάλλοντες τόξον, ἐστράφησαν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πολέμου.
They kept not the covenant of God, and would not walk in his law.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐκ ἐφύλαξαν τὴν διαθήκην τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἤθελον πορεύεσθαι.
And they forgot his benefits, and his miracles which he [had] shewed them;
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐπελάθοντο τῶν εὐεργεσιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν θαυμασίων αὐτοῦ, ὧν ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς·
the miracles which he wrought before their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the plain of Tanes.
Greek · Septuagintἐναντίον τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν ἃ ἐποίησε θαυμάσια, ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, ἐν πεδίῳ Τάνεως.
He clave the sea, and led them through: he made the waters to stand as [in] a bottle.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιέῤῥηξε θάλασσαν, καὶ διήγαγεν αὐτοὺς· ἔστησεν ὕδατα ὡσεὶ ἀσκόν.
And he guided them with a cloud by day, and all the night with a light of fire.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν νεφέλῃ ἡμέρας, καὶ ὅλην τὴν νύκτα ἐν φωτισμῷ πυρός.
He clave a rock in the wilderness, and made them drink as in a great deep.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιέῤῥηξε πέτραν ἐν ἐρήμῳ, καὶ ἐπότισεν αὐτοὺς ὡς ἐν ἀβύσσῳ πολλῇ.
And he brought water out of the rock, and caused waters to flow down as rivers.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐξήγαγεν ὕδωρ ἐκ πέτρας, καὶ κατήγαγεν ὡς ποταμοὺς ὕδατα.
And they sinned yet more against him; they provoked the Most High in the wilderness.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ προσέθεντο ἔτι τοῦ ἁμαρτάνειν αὐτῷ· παρεπικραναν τὸν ὕψιστον ἐν ἀνύδρῳ,
And they tempted God in their hearts, in asking meat for [the desire of] their souls.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἐξεπείρασαν τὸν Θεὸν ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν, τοῦ αἰτῆσαι βρώματα ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν.
They spoke also against God, and said, Will God be able to prepare a table in the wilderness?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ κατελάλησαν τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ εἶπαν, μὴ δυνήσεται ὁ Θεὸς ἑτοιμάσαι τράπεζαν ἐν ἐρήμῳ;
Forasmuch as he smote the rock, and the waters flowed, and the torrents ran abundantly; will he be able also to give bread, or prepare a table for his people?
Greek · SeptuagintἘπεὶ ἐπάταξε πέτραν, καὶ ἐῤῥύησαν ὕδατα, καὶ χείμαῤῥοι κατεκλύσθησαν· μὴ καὶ ἄρτον δυνήσεται δοῦναι; ἢ ἑτοιμάσαι τράπεζαν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ;
Therefore the Lord heard, and was provoked: and fire was kindled in Jacob, and wrath went up against Israel.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιὰ τοῦτο ἤκουσε Κύριος καὶ ἀνεβάλετο, καὶ πῦρ ἀνήφθη ἐν Ἰακὼβ, καὶ ὀργὴ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν ἐν τῷ Θεῷ, οὐδὲ ἤλπισαν ἐπὶ τὸ σωτήριον αὐτοῦ.
Yet he commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐνετείλατο νεφέλαις ὑπεράνωθεν, καὶ θύρας οὐρανοῦ ἀνέῳξε·
and rained upon them manna to eat, and gave them the bread of heaven.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἔβρεξεν αὐτοῖς μάννα φαγεῖν, καὶ ἄρτον οὐρανοῦ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς.
Man ate angels' bread; he sent them provision to the full.
Greek · SeptuagintἌρτον ἀγγέλων ἔφαγεν ἄνθρωπος, ἐπισιτισμὸν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοῖς εἰς πλησμονήν.
He removed the south wind from heaven; and by his might he brought in the south-west wind.
Greek · SeptuagintἈπῇρε Νότον ἐξ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐπήγαγεν ἐν τῇ δυναστείᾳ
And he rained upon them flesh like dust, and feathered birds like the sand of the seas.
Greek · Septuagintαὐτοῦ Λίβα. Καὶ ἔβρεξεν ἐπ αὐτοὺς ὡσεὶ χοῦν σάρκας, καὶ ὡσεῖ ἄμμον θαλασσῶν πετεινὰ πτερωτά.
And they fell into the midst of their camp, round about their tents.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐπέπεσον εἰς μέσον τῆς παρεμβολῆς αὐτῶν, κύκλῳ τῶν σκηνωμάτων αὐτῶν.
So they ate, and were completely filled; and he gave them their desire.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐφάγοσαν καὶ ἐνεπλήσθησαν σφόδρα, καὶ τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν αὐτῶν ἤνεγκεν αὐτοῖς.
They were not disappointed of their desire: [but] when their food was yet in their mouth,
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐκ ἐστερήθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιθυμίας αὐτῶν· ἔτι τῆς βρώσεως
then the indignation of God rose up against them, and slew the fattest of them, and overthrew the choice men of Israel.
Greek · Septuagintαὐτῶν οὔσης ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν, καὶ ὀργὴ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀνέβη ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν ἐν τοῖς πίοσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ συνεπόδισεν.
In the midst of all this they sinned yet more, and believed not his miracles.
Greek · SeptuagintʼΕν πᾶσι τούτοις ἥμαρτον ἔτι, καὶ οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν τοῖς
And their days were consumed in vanity, and their years with anxiety.
Greek · Septuagintθαυμασίοις αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ἐξέλιπον ἐν ματαιότητι αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ ἔτη αὐτῶν μετὰ σπουδῆς.
When he slew them, they sought him: and they returned and called betimes upon God.
Greek · SeptuagintὍταν ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτοὺς, ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐπέστρεφον καὶ
And they remembered that God was their helper, and the most high God was their redeemer.
Greek · Septuagintὤρθριζον πρὸς τὸν Θεόν. Καὶ ἐμνήσθησαν ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς βοηθὸς αὐτῶν ἐστι, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ὕψιστος λυτρωτὴς αὐτῶν ἐστι.
Yet they loved him [only] with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἠγάπησαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν, καὶ τῇ γλώσσῃ αὐτῶν
For their heart [was] not right with him, neither were they steadfast in his covenant.
Greek · Septuagintἐψεύσαντο αὐτῷ· ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν οὐκ εὐθεῖα μετʼ αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ ἐπιστώθησαν ἐν τῇ διαθήκῃ αὐτοῦ.
But he is compassionate, and will forgive their sins, and will not destroy [them]: yea, he will frequently turn away his wrath, and will not kindle all his anger.
Greek · SeptuagintΑὐτὸς δέ ἐστιν οἰκτίρμων, καὶ ἱλάσεται ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐ διαφθερεῖ· καὶ πληθυνεῖ τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν θυμὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐχὶ ἐκκαύσει πᾶσαν τὴν ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ.
And he remembered that they are flesh; a wind that passes away, and returns not.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐμνήσθη ὅτι σάρξ εἰσι, πνεῦμα πορευόμενον καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστρέφον.
How often did they provoke him in the wilderness, [and] anger him in a dry land!
Greek · SeptuagintΠοσάκις παρεπίκραναν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, παρώργισαν
Yea, they turned back, and tempted God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
Greek · Septuagintαὐτὸν ἐν γῇ ἀνύδρῳ; Καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν καὶ ἐπείρασαν τὸν Θεὸν, καὶ τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ παρώξυναν.
They remembered not his hand, the day in which he delivered them from the hand of the oppressor.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐκ ἐμνήσθησαν τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἡμέρας ἧς ἐλυτρώσατο αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς θλίβοντος·
How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Tanes:
Greek · SeptuagintὩς ἔθετο ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ τὰ σημεῖα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ
and had changed their rivers into blood; and their streams, that they should not drink.
Greek · Septuagintτέρατα αὐτοῦ ἐν πεδίῳ Τάνεως· Καὶ μετέστρεψεν εἰς αἷμα τοὺς ποταμοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ ὀμβρήματα αὐτῶν ὅπως μὴ πίωσιν·

Greek · SeptuagintἘξαπέστειλεν εἰς αὐτοὺς ὀργὴν θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ, θυμὸν καὶ ὀργὴν καὶ θλίψιν, ἀποστολὴν διʼ
He made a way for his wrath; he spared not their souls from death, but consigned their cattle to death;
