Psalms 68

Unto the end, for them that shall be changed; for David.

In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. David.

εἰς τὸ τέλος ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀλλοιωθησομένων τῷ Δαυιδ

Save me, O God: for the waters are come in even unto my soul.

Salvum me fac, Deus, quoniam intraverunt aquæ usque ad animam meam.

σῶσόν με ὁ θεός ὅτι εἰσήλθοσαν ὕδατα ἕως ψυχῆς μου

I stick fast in the mire of the deep and there is no sure standing. I am come into the depth of the sea, and a tempest hath overwhelmed me.

Infixus sum in limo profundi et non est substantia. Veni in altitudinem maris, et tempestas demersit me.

ἐνεπάγην εἰς ἰλὺν βυθοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὑπόστασις ἦλθον εἰς τὰ βάθη τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ καταιγὶς κατεπόντισέν με

I have laboured with crying; my jaws are become hoarse, my eyes have failed, whilst I hope in my God.

Laboravi clamans, raucæ factæ sunt fauces meæ; defecerunt oculi mei, dum spero in Deum meum.

ἐκοπίασα κράζων ἐβραγχίασεν ὁ λάρυγξ μου ἐξέλιπον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐλπίζειν ἐπὶ τὸν θεόν μου

They are multiplied above the hairs of my head, who hate me without cause. My enemies are grown strong who have wrongfully persecuted me: then did I pay that which I took not away.

Multiplicati sunt super capillos capitis mei qui oderunt me gratis. Confortati sunt qui persecuti sunt me inimici mei injuste; quæ non rapui, tunc exsolvebam.

ἐπληθύνθησαν ὑπὲρ τὰς τρίχας τῆς κεφαλῆς μου οἱ μισοῦντές με δωρεάν ἐκραταιώθησαν οἱ ἐχθροί μου οἱ ἐκδιώκοντές με ἀδίκως ἃ οὐχ ἥρπασα τότε ἀπετίννυον

O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my offences are not hidden from thee:

Deus, tu scis insipientiam meam; et delicta mea a te non sunt abscondita.

ὁ θεός σὺ ἔγνως τὴν ἀφροσύνην μου καὶ αἱ πλημμέλειαί μου ἀπὸ σοῦ οὐκ ἐκρύβησαν

Let not them be ashamed for me, who look for thee, O Lord, the Lord of hosts. Let them not be confounded on my account, who seek thee, O God of Israel.

Non erubescant in me qui exspectant te, Domine, Domine virtutum; non confundantur super me qui quærunt te, Deus Israël.

μὴ αἰσχυνθείησαν ἐπ' ἐμοὶ οἱ ὑπομένοντές σε κύριε κύριε τῶν δυνάμεων μὴ ἐντραπείησαν ἐπ' ἐμοὶ οἱ ζητοῦντές σε ὁ θεὸς τοῦ Ισραηλ

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

Quoniam propter te sustinui opprobrium; operuit confusio faciem meam.

ὅτι ἕνεκα σοῦ ὑπήνεγκα ὀνειδισμόν ἐκάλυψεν ἐντροπὴ τὸ πρόσωπόν μου

I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to the sons of my mother.

Extraneus factus sum fratribus meis, et peregrinus filiis matris meæ.

ἀπηλλοτριωμένος ἐγενήθην τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς μου καὶ ξένος τοῖς υἱοῖς τῆς μητρός μου

For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up: and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

Quoniam zelus domus tuæ comedit me, et opprobria exprobrantium tibi ceciderunt super me.

ὅτι ὁ ζῆλος τοῦ οἴκου σου κατέφαγέν με καὶ οἱ ὀνειδισμοὶ τῶν ὀνειδιζόντων σε ἐπέπεσαν ἐπ' ἐμέ

And I covered my soul in fasting: and it was made a reproach to me.

Et operui in jejunio animam meam, et factum est in opprobrium mihi.

καὶ συνέκαμψα ἐν νηστείᾳ τὴν ψυχήν μου καὶ ἐγενήθη εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν ἐμοί

And I made haircloth my garment: and I became a byword to them.

Et posui vestimentum meum cilicium; et factus sum illis in parabolam.

καὶ ἐθέμην τὸ ἔνδυμά μου σάκκον καὶ ἐγενόμην αὐτοῖς εἰς παραβολήν

They that sat in the gate spoke against me: and they that drank wine made me their song.

Adversum me loquebantur qui sedebant in porta, et in me psallebant qui bibebant vinum.

κατ' ἐμοῦ ἠδολέσχουν οἱ καθήμενοι ἐν πύλῃ καὶ εἰς ἐμὲ ἔψαλλον οἱ πίνοντες τὸν οἶνον

But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O Lord; for the time of thy good pleasure, O God. In the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

Ego vero orationem meam ad te, Domine; tempus beneplaciti, Deus. In multitudine misericordiæ tuæ, exaudi me in veritate salutis tuæ.

ἐγὼ δὲ τῇ προσευχῇ μου πρὸς σέ κύριε καιρὸς εὐδοκίας ὁ θεός ἐν τῷ πλήθει τοῦ ἐλέους σου ἐπάκουσόν μου ἐν ἀληθείᾳ τῆς σωτηρίας σου

Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

Eripe me de luto, ut non infigar; libera me ab iis qui oderunt me, et de profundis aquarum.

σῶσόν με ἀπὸ πηλοῦ ἵνα μὴ ἐμπαγῶ ῥυσθείην ἐκ τῶν μισούντων με καὶ ἐκ τοῦ βάθους τῶν ὑδάτων

Let not the tempest of water drown me, nor the deep water swallow me up: and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

Non me demergat tempestas aquæ, neque absorbeat me profundum, neque urgeat super me puteus os suum.

μή με καταποντισάτω καταιγὶς ὕδατος μηδὲ καταπιέτω με βυθός μηδὲ συσχέτω ἐπ' ἐμὲ φρέαρ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ

Hear me, O Lord, for thy mercy is kind; look upon me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

Exaudi me, Domine, quoniam benigna est misericordia tua; secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum respice in me.

εἰσάκουσόν μου κύριε ὅτι χρηστὸν τὸ ἔλεός σου κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν σου ἐπίβλεψον ἐπ' ἐμέ

And turn not away thy face from thy servant: for I am in trouble, hear me speedily.

Et ne avertas faciem tuam a puero tuo; quoniam tribulor, velociter exaudi me.

μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπὸ τοῦ παιδός σου ὅτι θλίβομαι ταχὺ ἐπάκουσόν μου

Attend to my soul, and deliver it: save me because of my enemies.

Intende animæ meæ, et libera eam; propter inimicos meos, eripe me.

πρόσχες τῇ ψυχῇ μου καὶ λύτρωσαι αὐτήν ἕνεκα τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου ῥῦσαί με

Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, and my shame.

Tu scis improperium meum, et confusionem meam, et reverentiam meam;

σὺ γὰρ γινώσκεις τὸν ὀνειδισμόν μου καὶ τὴν αἰσχύνην μου καὶ τὴν ἐντροπήν μου ἐναντίον σου πάντες οἱ θλίβοντές με

In thy sight are all they that afflict me; my heart hath expected reproach and misery. And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.

in conspectu tuo sunt omnes qui tribulant me. Improperium exspectavit cor meum et miseriam : et sustinui qui simul contristaretur, et non fuit; et qui consolaretur, et non inveni.

ὀνειδισμὸν προσεδόκησεν ἡ ψυχή μου καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν καὶ ὑπέμεινα συλλυπούμενον καὶ οὐχ ὑπῆρξεν καὶ παρακαλοῦντας καὶ οὐχ εὗρον

And they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

Et dederunt in escam meam fel, et in siti mea potaverunt me aceto.

καὶ ἔδωκαν εἰς τὸ βρῶμά μου χολὴν καὶ εἰς τὴν δίψαν μου ἐπότισάν με ὄξος

Let their table become as a snare before them, and a recompense, and a stumbling block.

Fiat mensa eorum coram ipsis in laqueum, et in retributiones, et in scandalum.

γενηθήτω ἡ τράπεζα αὐτῶν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν εἰς παγίδα καὶ εἰς ἀνταπόδοσιν καὶ εἰς σκάνδαλον

Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and their back bend thou down always.

Obscurentur oculi eorum, ne videant, et dorsum eorum semper incurva.

σκοτισθήτωσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτῶν τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν καὶ τὸν νῶτον αὐτῶν διὰ παντὸς σύγκαμψον

Pour out thy indignation upon them: and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

Effunde super eos iram tuam, et furor iræ tuæ comprehendat eos.

ἔκχεον ἐπ' αὐτοὺς τὴν ὀργήν σου καὶ ὁ θυμὸς τῆς ὀργῆς σου καταλάβοι αὐτούς

Let their habitation be made desolate: and let there be none to dwell in their tabernacles.

Fiat habitatio eorum deserta, et in tabernaculis eorum non sit qui inhabitet.

γενηθήτω ἡ ἔπαυλις αὐτῶν ἠρημωμένη καὶ ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασιν αὐτῶν μὴ ἔστω ὁ κατοικῶν

Because they have persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; and they have added to the grief of my wounds.

Quoniam quem tu percussisti persecuti sunt, et super dolorem vulnerum meorum addiderunt.

ὅτι ὃν σὺ ἐπάταξας αὐτοὶ κατεδίωξαν καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄλγος τῶν τραυματιῶν σου προσέθηκαν

Add thou iniquity upon their iniquity: and let them not come into thy justice.

Appone iniquitatem super iniquitatem eorum, et non intrent in justitiam tuam.

πρόσθες ἀνομίαν ἐπὶ τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτῶν καὶ μὴ εἰσελθέτωσαν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ σου

Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; and with the just let them not be written.

Deleantur de libro viventium, et cum justis non scribantur.

ἐξαλειφθήτωσαν ἐκ βίβλου ζώντων καὶ μετὰ δικαίων μὴ γραφήτωσαν

But I am poor and sorrowful: thy salvation, O God, hath set me up.

Ego sum pauper et dolens; salus tua, Deus, suscepit me.

πτωχὸς καὶ ἀλγῶν εἰμι ἐγώ καὶ ἡ σωτηρία τοῦ προσώπου σου ὁ θεός ἀντελάβετό μου

I will praise the name of God with a canticle: and I will magnify him with praise.

Laudabo nomen Dei cum cantico, et magnificabo eum in laude:

αἰνέσω τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θεοῦ μετ' ᾠδῆς μεγαλυνῶ αὐτὸν ἐν αἰνέσει

And it shall please God better than a young calf, that bringeth forth horns and hoofs.

et placebit Deo super vitulum novellum, cornua producentem et ungulas.

καὶ ἀρέσει τῷ θεῷ ὑπὲρ μόσχον νέον κέρατα ἐκφέροντα καὶ ὁπλάς

Let the poor see and rejoice: seek ye God, and your soul shall live.

Videant pauperes, et lætentur; quærite Deum, et vivet anima vestra:

ἰδέτωσαν πτωχοὶ καὶ εὐφρανθήτωσαν ἐκζητήσατε τὸν θεόν καὶ ζήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν

For the Lord hath heard the poor: and hath not despised his prisoners.

quoniam exaudivit pauperes Dominus, et vinctos suos non despexit.

ὅτι εἰσήκουσεν τῶν πενήτων ὁ κύριος καὶ τοὺς πεπεδημένους αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐξουδένωσεν

Let the heavens and the earth praise him; the sea, and every thing that creepeth therein.

Laudent illum cæli et terra; mare, et omnia reptilia in eis.

αἰνεσάτωσαν αὐτὸν οἱ οὐρανοὶ καὶ ἡ γῆ θάλασσα καὶ πάντα τὰ ἕρποντα ἐν αὐτοῖς

For God will save Sion, and the cities of Juda shall be built up. And they shall dwell there, and acquire it by inheritance.

Quoniam Deus salvam faciet Sion, et ædificabuntur civitates Juda, et inhabitabunt ibi, et hæreditate acquirent eam.

ὅτι ὁ θεὸς σώσει τὴν Σιων καὶ οἰκοδομηθήσονται αἱ πόλεις τῆς Ιουδαίας καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἐκεῖ καὶ κληρονομήσουσιν αὐτήν

And the seed of his servants shall possess it; and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

Et semen servorum ejus possidebit eam; et qui diligunt nomen ejus habitabunt in ea.

καὶ τὸ σπέρμα τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ καθέξουσιν αὐτήν καὶ οἱ ἀγαπῶντες τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ κατασκηνώσουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ
