Psalms 70

A psalm for David. Of the sons of Jonadab , and the former captives. In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion:

In te, Domine, speravi; non confundar in æternum.

τῷ Δαυιδ υἱῶν Ιωναδαβ καὶ τῶν πρώτων αἰχμαλωτισθέντων ὁ θεός ἐπὶ σοὶ ἤλπισα μὴ καταισχυνθείην εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

Deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me. Incline thy ear unto me, and save me.

In justitia tua libera me, et eripe me : inclina ad me aurem tuam, et salva me.

ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ σου ῥῦσαί με καὶ ἐξελοῦ με κλῖνον πρός με τὸ οὖς σου καὶ σῶσόν με

Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: that thou mayst make me safe. For thou art my firmament and my refuge.

Esto mihi in Deum protectorem, et in locum munitum, ut salvum me facias : quoniam firmamentum meum et refugium meum es tu.

γενοῦ μοι εἰς θεὸν ὑπερασπιστὴν καὶ εἰς τόπον ὀχυρὸν τοῦ σῶσαί με ὅτι στερέωμά μου καὶ καταφυγή μου εἶ σύ

Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust.

Deus meus, eripe me de manu peccatoris, et de manu contra legem agentis, et iniqui:

ὁ θεός μου ῥῦσαί με ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ ἐκ χειρὸς παρανομοῦντος καὶ ἀδικοῦντος

For thou art my patience, O Lord: my hope, O Lord, from my youth.

quoniam tu es patientia mea, Domine; Domine, spes mea a juventute mea.

ὅτι σὺ εἶ ἡ ὑπομονή μου κύριε κύριος ἡ ἐλπίς μου ἐκ νεότητός μου

By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: from my mother's womb thou art my protector. Of thee I shall continually sing:

In te confirmatus sum ex utero; de ventre matris meæ tu es protector meus; in te cantatio mea semper.

ἐπὶ σὲ ἐπεστηρίχθην ἀπὸ γαστρός ἐκ κοιλίας μητρός μου σύ μου εἶ σκεπαστής ἐν σοὶ ἡ ὕμνησίς μου διὰ παντός

I am become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper.

Tamquam prodigium factus sum multis; et tu adjutor fortis.

ὡσεὶ τέρας ἐγενήθην τοῖς πολλοῖς καὶ σὺ βοηθὸς κραταιός

Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; thy greatness all the day long.

Repleatur os meum laude, ut cantem gloriam tuam, tota die magnitudinem tuam.

πληρωθήτω τὸ στόμα μου αἰνέσεως ὅπως ὑμνήσω τὴν δόξαν σου ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν τὴν μεγαλοπρέπειάν σου

Cast me not off in the time of old age: when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.

Ne projicias me in tempore senectutis; cum defecerit virtus mea, ne derelinquas me.

μὴ ἀπορρίψῃς με εἰς καιρὸν γήρους ἐν τῷ ἐκλείπειν τὴν ἰσχύν μου μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς με

For my enemies have spoken against me; and they that watched my soul have consulted together,

Quia dixerunt inimici mei mihi, et qui custodiebant animam meam consilium fecerunt in unum,

ὅτι εἶπαν οἱ ἐχθροί μου ἐμοὶ καὶ οἱ φυλάσσοντες τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐβουλεύσαντο ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ

Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.

dicentes : Deus dereliquit eum : persequimini et comprehendite eum, quia non est qui eripiat.

λέγοντες ὁ θεὸς ἐγκατέλιπεν αὐτόν καταδιώξατε καὶ καταλάβετε αὐτόν ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ῥυόμενος

O God, be not thou far from me: O my God, make haste to my help.

Deus, ne elongeris a me; Deus meus, in auxilium meum respice.

ὁ θεός μὴ μακρύνῃς ἀπ' ἐμοῦ ὁ θεός μου εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν μου πρόσχες

Let them be confounded and come to nothing that detract my soul; let them be covered with confusion and blame that seek my hurt.

Confundantur et deficiant detrahentes animæ meæ; operiantur confusione et pudore qui quærunt mala mihi.

αἰσχυνθήτωσαν καὶ ἐκλιπέτωσαν οἱ ἐνδιαβάλλοντες τὴν ψυχήν μου περιβαλέσθωσαν αἰσχύνην καὶ ἐντροπὴν οἱ ζητοῦντες τὰ κακά μοι

But I will always hope; and will add to all thy praise.

Ego autem semper sperabo, et adjiciam super omnem laudem tuam.

ἐγὼ δὲ διὰ παντὸς ἐλπιῶ καὶ προσθήσω ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν αἴνεσίν σου

My mouth shall show forth thy justice; thy salvation all the day long. Because I have not known learning,

Os meum annuntiabit justitiam tuam, tota die salutare tuum. Quoniam non cognovi litteraturam,

τὸ στόμα μου ἐξαγγελεῖ τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν τὴν σωτηρίαν σου ὅτι οὐκ ἔγνων γραμματείας

I will enter into the powers of the Lord: O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone.

introibo in potentias Domini; Domine, memorabor justitiæ tuæ solius.

εἰσελεύσομαι ἐν δυναστείᾳ κυρίου κύριε μνησθήσομαι τῆς δικαιοσύνης σου μόνου

Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: and till now I will declare thy wonderful works.

Deus, docuisti me a juventute mea; et usque nunc pronuntiabo mirabilia tua.

ἐδίδαξάς με ὁ θεός ἐκ νεότητός μου καὶ μέχρι νῦν ἀπαγγελῶ τὰ θαυμάσιά σου

And unto old age and grey hairs: O God, forsake me not, Until I show forth thy arm to all the generation that is to come: Thy power,

Et usque in senectam et senium, Deus, ne derelinquas me, donec annuntiem brachium tuum generationi omni quæ ventura est, potentiam tuam,

καὶ ἕως γήρους καὶ πρεσβείου ὁ θεός μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς με ἕως ἂν ἀπαγγείλω τὸν βραχίονά σου πάσῃ τῇ γενεᾷ τῇ ἐρχομένῃ τὴν δυναστείαν σου καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου

And thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee?

et justitiam tuam, Deus, usque in altissima; quæ fecisti magnalia, Deus : quis similis tibi?

ὁ θεός ἕως ὑψίστων ἃ ἐποίησας μεγαλεῖα ὁ θεός τίς ὅμοιός σοι

How great troubles hast thou shown me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth:

Quantas ostendisti mihi tribulationes multas et malas! et conversus vivificasti me, et de abyssis terræ iterum reduxisti me.

ὅσας ἔδειξάς μοι θλίψεις πολλὰς καὶ κακάς καὶ ἐπιστρέψας ἐζωοποίησάς με καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀβύσσων τῆς γῆς πάλιν ἀνήγαγές με

Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; and turning to me thou hast comforted me.

Multiplicasti magnificentiam tuam; et conversus consolatus es me.

ἐπλεόνασας τὴν μεγαλοσύνην σου καὶ ἐπιστρέψας παρεκάλεσάς με καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀβύσσων τῆς γῆς πάλιν ἀνήγαγές με

For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: O God, I will sing to thee with the harp, thou holy one of Israel.

Nam et ego confitebor tibi in vasis psalmi veritatem tuam, Deus; psallam tibi in cithara, sanctus Israël.

καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι ἐν σκεύει ψαλμοῦ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου ὁ θεός ψαλῶ σοι ἐν κιθάρᾳ ὁ ἅγιος τοῦ Ισραηλ

My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; and my soul which thou hast redeemed.

Exsultabunt labia mea cum cantavero tibi; et anima mea quam redemisti.

ἀγαλλιάσονται τὰ χείλη μου ὅταν ψάλω σοι καὶ ἡ ψυχή μου ἣν ἐλυτρώσω

Yea and my tongue shall meditate on thy justice all the day; when they shall be confounded and put to shame that seek evils to me.

Sed et lingua mea tota die meditabitur justitiam tuam, cum confusi et reveriti fuerint qui quærunt mala mihi.

ἔτι δὲ καὶ ἡ γλῶσσά μου ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν μελετήσει τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου ὅταν αἰσχυνθῶσιν καὶ ἐντραπῶσιν οἱ ζητοῦντες τὰ κακά μοι
