To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Contemplation of David.
1 Give ear to my prayer, O God, And do not hide Yourself from my supplication.
Ελέησόν-με-,-κύριε-,-ότι-κατεπάτησέν-με-άνθρωπος-,-όλην-τὴν-ημέραν-πολεμῶν-έθλιψέν-με-.-
2 Attend to me, and hear me; I am restless in my complaint, and moan noisily,
κατεπάτησάν-με-οι-εχθροί-μου-όλην-τὴν-ημέραν-,-ότι-πολλοὶ-οι-πολεμοῦντές-με-απὸ-ύψους-.-
3 Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked; For they bring down trouble upon me, And in wrath they hate me.
ημέρας-φοβηθήσομαι-,-εγὼ-δὲ-επὶ-σοὶ-ελπιῶ-.-
4 My heart is severely pained within me, And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
εν-τῶ-θεῶ-επαινέσω-τοὺς-λόγους-μου-όλην-τὴν-ημέραν-.-επὶ-τῶ-θεῶ-ήλπισα-,-ου-φοβηθήσομαι-·-τί-ποιήσει-μοι-σάρξ-;-
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, And horror has overwhelmed me.
όλην-τὴν-ημέραν-τοὺς-λόγους-μου-εβδελύσσοντο-,-κατ᾿-εμοῦ-πάντες-οι-διαλογισμοὶ-αυτῶν-εις-κακόν-.-
6 So I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.
παροικήσουσιν-καὶ-κατακρύψουσιν-·-αυτοὶ-τὴν-πτέρναν-μου-φυλάξουσιν-,-καθάπερ-υπέμειναν-τὴν-ψυχήν-μου-.-
7 Indeed, I would wander far off, And remain in the wilderness. Selah
υπὲρ-τοῦ-μηθενὸς-σώσεις-αυτούς-,-εν-οργῆ-λαοὺς-κατάξεις-,-ο-θεός-.-
8 I would hasten my escape From the windy storm and tempest.”
τὴν-ζωήν-μου-εξήγγειλά-σοι-,-έθου-τὰ-δάκρυά-μου-ενώπιόν-σου-ως-καὶ-εν-τῆ-επαγγελία-σου-.-
9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues, For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
επιστρέψουσιν-οι-εχθροί-μου-εις-τὰ-οπίσω-,-εν-ῆ-ὰν-ημέρα-επικαλέσωμαί-σε-·-ιδοὺ-έγνων-ότι-θεός-μου-εῖ-σύ-.-
10 Day and night they go around it on its walls; Iniquity and trouble are also in the midst of it.
επὶ-τῶ-θεῶ-αινέσω-ρῆμα-,-επὶ-τῶ-κυρίω-αινέσω-λόγον-.-
11 Destruction is in its midst; Oppression and deceit do not depart from its streets.
επὶ-τῶ-θεῶ-ήλπισα-,-ου-φοβηθήσομαι-·-τί-ποιήσει-μοι-άνθρωπος-;-
12 For it is not an enemy who reproaches me; Then I could bear it. Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me; Then I could hide from him.
εν-εμοί-,-ο-θεός-,-αι-ευχαὶ-ὰς-αποδώσω-αινέσεώς-σοι-,-
13 But it was you, a man my equal, My companion and my acquaintance.
ότι-ερρύσω-τὴν-ψυχήν-μου-εκ-θανάτου-καὶ-τοὺς-πόδας-μου-εξ-ολισθήματος-τοῦ-ευαρεστῆσαι-ενώπιον-τοῦ-θεοῦ-εν-φωτὶ-ζώντων-.-
14 We took sweet counsel together, And walked to the house of God in the throng.
15 Let death seize them; Let them go down alive into hell, For wickedness is in their dwellings and among them.
16 As for me, I will call upon God, And the LORD shall save me.
17 Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice.
18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, For there were many against me.
19 God will hear, and afflict them, Even He who abides from of old. Selah Because they do not change, Therefore they do not fear God.
20 He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; He has broken his covenant.
21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, But war was in his heart; His words were softer than oil, Yet they were drawn swords.
22 Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
23 But You, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction; Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in You.
