Psalms 24

Unto the end, a psalm for David. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.

Ad te, Domine, levavi animam meam:

ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ πρὸς σέ κύριε ἦρα τὴν ψυχήν μου ὁ θεός μου

In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.

Deus meus, in te confido; non erubescam.

ἐπὶ σοὶ πέποιθα μὴ καταισχυνθείην μηδὲ καταγελασάτωσάν μου οἱ ἐχθροί μου

Neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded.

Neque irrideant me inimici mei : etenim universi qui sustinent te, non confundentur.

καὶ γὰρ πάντες οἱ ὑπομένοντές σε οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῶσιν αἰσχυνθήτωσαν πάντες οἱ ἀνομοῦντες διὰ κενῆς

Let all them be confounded that act unjust things without cause. Show, O Lord, thy ways to me, and teach me thy paths.

Confundantur omnes iniqua agentes supervacue. Vias tuas, Domine, demonstra mihi, et semitas tuas edoce me.

τὰς ὁδούς σου κύριε γνώρισόν μοι καὶ τὰς τρίβους σου δίδαξόν με

Direct me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art God my Saviour; and on thee have I waited all the day long.

Dirige me in veritate tua, et doce me, quia tu es Deus salvator meus, et te sustinui tota die.

ὁδήγησόν με ἐπὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου καὶ δίδαξόν με ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ θεὸς ὁ σωτήρ μου καὶ σὲ ὑπέμεινα ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν

Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world.

Reminiscere miserationum tuarum, Domine, et misericordiarum tuarum quæ a sæculo sunt.

μνήσθητι τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν σου κύριε καὶ τὰ ἐλέη σου ὅτι ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνός εἰσιν

The sins of my youth and my ignorances do not remember. According to thy mercy remember thou me: for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.

Delicta juventutis meæ, et ignorantias meas, ne memineris. Secundum misericordiam tuam memento mei tu, propter bonitatem tuam, Domine.

ἁμαρτίας νεότητός μου καὶ ἀγνοίας μου μὴ μνησθῇς κατὰ τὸ ἔλεός σου μνήσθητί μου σὺ ἕνεκα τῆς χρηστότητός σου κύριε

The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way.

Dulcis et rectus Dominus; propter hoc legem dabit delinquentibus in via.

χρηστὸς καὶ εὐθὴς ὁ κύριος διὰ τοῦτο νομοθετήσει ἁμαρτάνοντας ἐν ὁδῷ

He will guide the mild in judgment: he will teach the meek his ways.

Diriget mansuetos in judicio; docebit mites vias suas.

ὁδηγήσει πραεῖς ἐν κρίσει διδάξει πραεῖς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ

All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to them that seek after his covenant and his testimonies.

Universæ viæ Domini, misericordia et veritas, requirentibus testamentum ejus et testimonia ejus.

πᾶσαι αἱ ὁδοὶ κυρίου ἔλεος καὶ ἀλήθεια τοῖς ἐκζητοῦσιν τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ

For thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt pardon my sin: for it is great.

Propter nomen tuum, Domine, propitiaberis peccato meo; multum est enim.

ἕνεκα τοῦ ὀνόματός σου κύριε καὶ ἱλάσῃ τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ μου πολλὴ γάρ ἐστιν

Who is the man that feareth the Lord? He hath appointed him a law in the way he hath chosen.

Quis est homo qui timet Dominum? legem statuit ei in via quam elegit.

τίς ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος ὁ φοβούμενος τὸν κύριον νομοθετήσει αὐτῷ ἐν ὁδῷ ᾗ ᾑρετίσατο

His soul shall dwell in good things: and his seed shall inherit the land.

Anima ejus in bonis demorabitur, et semen ejus hæreditabit terram.

ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγαθοῖς αὐλισθήσεται καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ κληρονομήσει γῆν

The Lord is a firmament to them that fear him: and his covenant shall be made manifest to them.

Firmamentum est Dominus timentibus eum; et testamentum ipsius ut manifestetur illis.

κραταίωμα κύριος τῶν φοβουμένων αὐτόν καὶ τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου τῶν φοβουμένων αὐτόν καὶ ἡ διαθήκη αὐτοῦ τοῦ δηλῶσαι αὐτοῖς

My eyes are ever towards the Lord: for he shall pluck my feet out of the snare.

Oculi mei semper ad Dominum, quoniam ipse evellet de laqueo pedes meos.

οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου διὰ παντὸς πρὸς τὸν κύριον ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐκσπάσει ἐκ παγίδος τοὺς πόδας μου

Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.

Respice in me, et miserere mei, quia unicus et pauper sum ego.

ἐπίβλεψον ἐπ' ἐμὲ καὶ ἐλέησόν με ὅτι μονογενὴς καὶ πτωχός εἰμι ἐγώ

The troubles of my heart are multiplied: deliver me from my necessities.

Tribulationes cordis mei multiplicatæ sunt : de necessitatibus meis erue me.

αἱ θλίψεις τῆς καρδίας μου ἐπλατύνθησαν ἐκ τῶν ἀναγκῶν μου ἐξάγαγέ με

See my abjection and my labour; and forgive me all my sins.

Vide humilitatem meam et laborem meum, et dimitte universa delicta mea.

ἰδὲ τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου καὶ τὸν κόπον μου καὶ ἄφες πάσας τὰς ἁμαρτίας μου

Consider my enemies for they are multiplied, and have hated me with an unjust hatred.

Respice inimicos meos, quoniam multiplicati sunt, et odio iniquo oderunt me.

ἰδὲ τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ὅτι ἐπληθύνθησαν καὶ μῖσος ἄδικον ἐμίσησάν με

Deep thou my soul, and deliver me: I shall not be ashamed, for I have hoped in thee.

Custodi animam meam, et erue me : non erubescam, quoniam speravi in te.

φύλαξον τὴν ψυχήν μου καὶ ῥῦσαί με μὴ καταισχυνθείην ὅτι ἤλπισα ἐπὶ σέ

The innocent and the upright have adhered to me: because I have waited on thee.

Innocentes et recti adhæserunt mihi, quia sustinui te.

ἄκακοι καὶ εὐθεῖς ἐκολλῶντό μοι ὅτι ὑπέμεινά σε κύριε

Deliver Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.

Libera, Deus, Israël ex omnibus tribulationibus suis.

λύτρωσαι ὁ θεός τὸν Ισραηλ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν θλίψεων αὐτοῦ
