To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song on the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said:
1 I will love You, O LORD, my strength.
Οι-ουρανοὶ-διηγοῦνται-δόξαν-θεοῦ-,-ποίησιν-δὲ-χειρῶν-αυτοῦ-αναγγέλλει-τὸ-στερέωμα-·-
2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
ημέρα-τῆ-ημέρα-ερεύγεται-ρῆμα-,-καὶ-νὺξ-νυκτὶ-αναγγέλλει-γνῶσιν-.-
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.
ουκ-εισὶν-λαλιαὶ-ουδὲ-λόγοι-,-ῶν-ουχὶ-ακούονται-αι-φωναὶ-αυτῶν-·-
4 The pangs of death surrounded me, And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
εις-πᾶσαν-τὴν-γῆν-εξῆλθεν-ο-φθόγγος-αυτῶν-καὶ-εις-τὰ-πέρατα-τῆς-οικουμένης-τὰ-ρήματα-αυτῶν-.-εν-τῶ-ηλίω-έθετο-τὸ-σκήνωμα-αυτοῦ-·-
5 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.
καὶ-αυτὸς-ως-νυμφίος-εκπορευόμενος-εκ-παστοῦ-αυτοῦ-,-αγαλλιάσεται-ως-γίγας-δραμεῖν-οδὸν-αυτοῦ-.-
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry came before Him, even to His ears.
απ᾿-άκρου-τοῦ-ουρανοῦ-η-έξοδος-αυτοῦ-,-καὶ-τὸ-κατάντημα-αυτοῦ-έως-άκρου-τοῦ-ουρανοῦ-,-καὶ-ουκ-έστιν-ὸς-αποκρυβήσεται-τὴν-θέρμην-αυτοῦ-.-
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken, Because He was angry.
ο-νόμος-τοῦ-κυρίου-άμωμος-,-επιστρέφων-ψυχάς-·-η-μαρτυρία-κυρίου-πιστή-,-σοφίζουσα-νήπια-·-
8 Smoke went up from His nostrils, And devouring fire from His mouth; Coals were kindled by it.
τὰ-δικαιώματα-κυρίου-ευθεῖα-,-ευφραίνοντα-καρδίαν-·-η-εντολὴ-κυρίου-τηλαυγής-,-φωτίζουσα-οφθαλμούς-·-
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down With darkness under His feet.
ο-φόβος-κυρίου-αγνός-,-διαμένων-εις-αιῶνα-αιῶνος-·-τὰ-κρίματα-κυρίου-αληθινά-,-δεδικαιωμένα-επὶ-τὸ-αυτό-,-
10 And He rode upon a cherub, and flew; He flew upon the wings of the wind.
επιθυμητὰ-υπὲρ-χρυσίον-καὶ-λίθον-τίμιον-πολὺν-καὶ-γλυκύτερα-υπὲρ-μέλι-καὶ-κηρίον-.-
11 He made darkness His secret place; His canopy around Him was dark waters And thick clouds of the skies.
καὶ-γὰρ-ο-δοῦλός-σου-φυλάσσει-αυτά-·-εν-τῶ-φυλάσσειν-αυτὰ-ανταπόδοσις-πολλή-.-
12 From the brightness before Him, His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.
παραπτώματα-τίς-συνήσει-;-εκ-τῶν-κρυφίων-μου-καθάρισόν-με-.-
13 The LORD thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered His voice, Hailstones and coals of fire.
καὶ-απὸ-αλλοτρίων-φεῖσαι-τοῦ-δούλου-σου-·-εὰν-μή-μου-κατακυριεύσωσιν-,-τότε-άμωμος-έσομαι-καὶ-καθαρισθήσομαι-απὸ-αμαρτίας-μεγάλης-.-
14 He sent out His arrows and scattered the foe, Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them.
καὶ-έσονται-εις-ευδοκίαν-τὰ-λόγια-τοῦ-στόματός-μου-καὶ-η-μελέτη-τῆς-καρδίας-μου-ενώπιόν-σου-διὰ-παντός-,-κύριε-βοηθέ-μου-καὶ-λυτρωτά-μου-.-
15 Then the channels of the sea were seen, The foundations of the world were uncovered At Your rebuke, O LORD, At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
16 He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me, For they were too strong for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity, But the LORD was my support.
19 He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all His judgments were before me, And I did not put away His statutes from me.
23 I was also blameless before Him, And I kept myself from my iniquity.
24 Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
25 With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;
26 With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.
27 For You will save the humble people, But will bring down haughty looks.
28 For You will light my lamp; The LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by You I can run against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall.
30 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
31 For who is God, except the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength, And makes my way perfect.
33 He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places.
34 He teaches my hands to make war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great.
36 You enlarged my path under me, So my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.
38 I have wounded them, So that they could not rise; They have fallen under my feet.
39 For You have armed me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
40 You have also given me the necks of my enemies, So that I destroyed those who hated me.
41 They cried out, but there was none to save; Even to the LORD, but He did not answer them.
42 Then I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind; I cast them out like dirt in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; You have made me the head of the nations; A people I have not known shall serve me.
44 As soon as they hear of me they obey me; The foreigners submit to me.
45 The foreigners fade away, And come frightened from their hideouts.
46 The LORD lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God who avenges me, And subdues the peoples under me;
48 He delivers me from my enemies. You also lift me up above those who rise against me; You have delivered me from the violent man.
49 Therefore I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the Gentiles, And sing praises to Your name.
50 Great deliverance He gives to His king, And shows mercy to His anointed, To David and his descendants forevermore.
