Psalms 77

Understanding for Asaph. Attend, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

Attendite, popule meus, legem meam; inclinate aurem vestram in verba oris mei.

συνέσεως τῷ Ασαφ προσέχετε λαός μου τὸν νόμον μου κλίνατε τὸ οὖς ὑμῶν εἰς τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματός μου

I will open my mouth in parables: I will utter propositions from the beginning.

Aperiam in parabolis os meum; loquar propositiones ab initio.

ἀνοίξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τὸ στόμα μου φθέγξομαι προβλήματα ἀπ' ἀρχῆς

How great things have we heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

Quanta audivimus, et cognovimus ea, et patres nostri narraverunt nobis.

ὅσα ἠκούσαμεν καὶ ἔγνωμεν αὐτὰ καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν διηγήσαντο ἡμῖν

They have not been hidden from their children, in another generation. Declaring the praises of the Lord, and his powers, and his wonders which he hath done.

Non sunt occultata a filiis eorum in generatione altera, narrantes laudes Domini et virtutes ejus, et mirabilia ejus quæ fecit.

οὐκ ἐκρύβη ἀπὸ τῶν τέκνων αὐτῶν εἰς γενεὰν ἑτέραν ἀπαγγέλλοντες τὰς αἰνέσεις τοῦ κυρίου καὶ τὰς δυναστείας αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ ἃ ἐποίησεν

And he set up a testimony in Jacob: and made a law in Israel. How great things he commanded our fathers, that they should make the same known to their children:

Et suscitavit testimonium in Jacob, et legem posuit in Israël, quanta mandavit patribus nostris nota facere ea filiis suis:

καὶ ἀνέστησεν μαρτύριον ἐν Ιακωβ καὶ νόμον ἔθετο ἐν Ισραηλ ὅσα ἐνετείλατο τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν τοῦ γνωρίσαι αὐτὰ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῶν

That another generation might know them. The children that should be born and should rise up, and declare them to their children.

ut cognoscat generatio altera : filii qui nascentur et exsurgent, et narrabunt filiis suis,

ὅπως ἂν γνῷ γενεὰ ἑτέρα υἱοὶ οἱ τεχθησόμενοι καὶ ἀναστήσονται καὶ ἀπαγγελοῦσιν αὐτὰ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῶν

That they may put their hope in God and may not forget the works of God: and may seek his commandments.

ut ponant in Deo spem suam, et non obliviscantur operum Dei, et mandata ejus exquirant:

ἵνα θῶνται ἐπὶ τὸν θεὸν τὴν ἐλπίδα αὐτῶν καὶ μὴ ἐπιλάθωνται τῶν ἔργων τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ ἐκζητήσουσιν

That they may not become like their fathers, a perverse and exasperating generation. A generation that set not their heart aright: and whose spirit was not faithful to God.

ne fiant, sicut patres eorum, generatio prava et exasperans; generatio quæ non direxit cor suum, et non est creditus cum Deo spiritus ejus.

ἵνα μὴ γένωνται ὡς οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν γενεὰ σκολιὰ καὶ παραπικραίνουσα γενεά ἥτις οὐ κατηύθυνεν τὴν καρδίαν αὐτῆς καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστώθη μετὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτῆς

The sons of Ephraim who bend and shoot with the bow: they have turned back in the day of battle.

Filii Ephrem, intendentes et mittentes arcum, conversi sunt in die belli.

υἱοὶ Εφραιμ ἐντείνοντες καὶ βάλλοντες τόξοις ἐστράφησαν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πολέμου

They kept not the covenant of God: and in his law they would not walk.

Non custodierunt testamentum Dei, et in lege ejus noluerunt ambulare.

οὐκ ἐφύλαξαν τὴν διαθήκην τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἤθελον πορεύεσθαι

And they forgot his benefits, and his wonders that he had shown them.

Et obliti sunt benefactorum ejus, et mirabilium ejus quæ ostendit eis.

καὶ ἐπελάθοντο τῶν εὐεργεσιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν θαυμασίων αὐτοῦ ὧν ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς

Wonderful things did he do in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Tanis.

Coram patribus eorum fecit mirabilia in terra Ægypti, in campo Taneos.

ἐναντίον τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν ἃ ἐποίησεν θαυμάσια ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ ἐν πεδίῳ Τάνεως

He divided the sea and brought them through: and he made the waters to stand as in a vessel.

Interrupit mare, et perduxit eos, et statuit aquas quasi in utre:

διέρρηξεν θάλασσαν καὶ διήγαγεν αὐτούς ἔστησεν ὕδατα ὡσεὶ ἀσκὸν

And he conducted them with a cloud by day: and all the night with a light of fire.

et deduxit eos in nube diei, et tota nocte in illuminatione ignis.

καὶ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν νεφέλῃ ἡμέρας καὶ ὅλην τὴν νύκτα ἐν φωτισμῷ πυρός

He struck the rock in the wilderness: and gave them to drink, as out of the great deep.

Interrupit petram in eremo, et adaquavit eos velut in abysso multa.

διέρρηξεν πέτραν ἐν ἐρήμῳ καὶ ἐπότισεν αὐτοὺς ὡς ἐν ἀβύσσῳ πολλῇ

He brought forth water out of the rock: and made streams run down as rivers.

Et eduxit aquam de petra, et deduxit tamquam flumina aquas.

καὶ ἐξήγαγεν ὕδωρ ἐκ πέτρας καὶ κατήγαγεν ὡς ποταμοὺς ὕδατα

And they added yet more sin against him: they provoked the most High to wrath in the place without water.

Et apposuerunt adhuc peccare ei; in iram excitaverunt Excelsum in inaquoso.

καὶ προσέθεντο ἔτι τοῦ ἁμαρτάνειν αὐτῷ παρεπίκραναν τὸν ὕψιστον ἐν ἀνύδρῳ

And they tempted God in their hearts, by asking meat for their desires.

Et tentaverunt Deum in cordibus suis, ut peterent escas animabus suis.

καὶ ἐξεπείρασαν τὸν θεὸν ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν τοῦ αἰτῆσαι βρώματα ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν

And they spoke ill of God: they said: Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

Et male locuti sunt de Deo; dixerunt : Numquid poterit Deus parare mensam in deserto?

καὶ κατελάλησαν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ εἶπαν μὴ δυνήσεται ὁ θεὸς ἑτοιμάσαι τράπεζαν ἐν ἐρήμῳ

Because he struck the rock, and the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed. Can he also give bread, or provide a table for his people?

quoniam percussit petram, et fluxerunt aquæ, et torrentes inundaverunt. Numquid et panem poterit dare, aut parare mensam populo suo?

ἐπεὶ ἐπάταξεν πέτραν καὶ ἐρρύησαν ὕδατα καὶ χείμαρροι κατεκλύσθησαν μὴ καὶ ἄρτον δύναται δοῦναι ἢ ἑτοιμάσαι τράπεζαν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ

Therefore the Lord heard, and was angry: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel.

Ideo audivit Dominus et distulit; et ignis accensus est in Jacob, et ira ascendit in Israël:

διὰ τοῦτο ἤκουσεν κύριος καὶ ἀνεβάλετο καὶ πῦρ ἀνήφθη ἐν Ιακωβ καὶ ὀργὴ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸν Ισραηλ

Because they believed not in God: and trusted not in his salvation.

quia non crediderunt in Deo, nec speraverunt in salutari ejus.

ὅτι οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν ἐν τῷ θεῷ οὐδὲ ἤλπισαν ἐπὶ τὸ σωτήριον αὐτοῦ

And he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of heaven.

Et mandavit nubibus desuper, et januas cæli aperuit.

καὶ ἐνετείλατο νεφέλαις ὑπεράνωθεν καὶ θύρας οὐρανοῦ ἀνέῳξεν

And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the bread of heaven.

Et pluit illis manna ad manducandum, et panem cæli dedit eis.

καὶ ἔβρεξεν αὐτοῖς μαννα φαγεῖν καὶ ἄρτον οὐρανοῦ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς

Man ate the bread of angels: he sent them provisions in abundance.

Panem angelorum manducavit homo; cibaria misit eis in abundantia.

ἄρτον ἀγγέλων ἔφαγεν ἄνθρωπος ἐπισιτισμὸν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοῖς εἰς πλησμονήν

He removed the south wind from heaven: and by his power brought in the southwest wind.

Transtulit austrum de cælo, et induxit in virtute sua africum.

ἀπῆρεν νότον ἐξ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἐπήγαγεν ἐν τῇ δυναστείᾳ αὐτοῦ λίβα

And he rained upon them flesh as dust: and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea.

Et pluit super eos sicut pulverem carnes, et sicut arenam maris volatilia pennata.

καὶ ἔβρεξεν ἐπ' αὐτοὺς ὡσεὶ χοῦν σάρκας καὶ ὡσεὶ ἄμμον θαλασσῶν πετεινὰ πτερωτά

And they fell in the midst of their camp, round about their pavilions.

Et ceciderunt in medio castrorum eorum, circa tabernacula eorum.

καὶ ἐπέπεσον εἰς μέσον τῆς παρεμβολῆς αὐτῶν κύκλῳ τῶν σκηνωμάτων αὐτῶν

So they did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and he gave them their desire:

Et manducaverunt, et saturati sunt nimis, et desiderium eorum attulit eis:

καὶ ἐφάγοσαν καὶ ἐνεπλήσθησαν σφόδρα καὶ τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν αὐτῶν ἤνεγκεν αὐτοῖς

They were not defrauded of that which they craved. As yet their meat was in their mouth:

non sunt fraudati a desiderio suo. Adhuc escæ eorum erant in ore ipsorum,

οὐκ ἐστερήθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιθυμίας αὐτῶν ἔτι τῆς βρώσεως αὐτῶν οὔσης ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν

And the wrath of God came upon them. And he slew the fat ones amongst them, and brought down the chosen men of Israel.

et ira Dei ascendit super eos : et occidit pingues eorum, et electos Israël impedivit.

καὶ ὀργὴ τοῦ θεοῦ ἀνέβη ἐπ' αὐτοὺς καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν ἐν τοῖς πίοσιν αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς τοῦ Ισραηλ συνεπόδισεν

In all these things they sinned still: and they behaved not for his wondrous works.

In omnibus his peccaverunt adhuc, et non crediderunt in mirabilibus ejus.

ἐν πᾶσιν τούτοις ἥμαρτον ἔτι καὶ οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν ἐν τοῖς θαυμασίοις αὐτοῦ

And their days were consumed in vanity, and their years in haste.

Et defecerunt in vanitate dies eorum, et anni eorum cum festinatione.

καὶ ἐξέλιπον ἐν ματαιότητι αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἔτη αὐτῶν μετὰ σπουδῆς

When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and came to him early in the morning.

Cum occideret eos, quærebant eum et revertebantur, et diluculo veniebant ad eum.

ὅταν ἀπέκτεννεν αὐτούς ἐξεζήτουν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπέστρεφον καὶ ὤρθριζον πρὸς τὸν θεὸν

And they remembered that God was their helper: and the most high God their redeemer.

Et rememorati sunt quia Deus adjutor est eorum, et Deus excelsus redemptor eorum est.

καὶ ἐμνήσθησαν ὅτι ὁ θεὸς βοηθὸς αὐτῶν ἐστιν καὶ ὁ θεὸς ὁ ὕψιστος λυτρωτὴς αὐτῶν ἐστιν

And they loved him with their mouth: and with their tongue they lied unto him:

Et dilexerunt eum in ore suo, et lingua sua mentiti sunt ei;

καὶ ἠπάτησαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν καὶ τῇ γλώσσῃ αὐτῶν ἐψεύσαντο αὐτῷ

But their heart was not right with him: nor were they counted faithful in his covenant.

cor autem eorum non erat rectum cum eo, nec fideles habiti sunt in testamento ejus.

ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν οὐκ εὐθεῖα μετ' αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ ἐπιστώθησαν ἐν τῇ διαθήκῃ αὐτοῦ

But he is merciful, and will forgive their sins: and will not destroy them. And many a time did he turn away his anger: and did not kindle all his wrath.

Ipse autem est misericors, et propitius fiet peccatis eorum, et non disperdet eos. Et abundavit ut averteret iram suam, et non accendit omnem iram suam.

αὐτὸς δέ ἐστιν οἰκτίρμων καὶ ἱλάσεται ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ διαφθερεῖ καὶ πληθυνεῖ τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν θυμὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐχὶ ἐκκαύσει πᾶσαν τὴν ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ

And he remembered that they are flesh: a wind that goeth and returneth not.

Et recordatus est quia caro sunt, spiritus vadens et non rediens.

καὶ ἐμνήσθη ὅτι σάρξ εἰσιν πνεῦμα πορευόμενον καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστρέφον

How often did they provoke him in the desert: and move him to wrath in the place without water?

Quoties exacerbaverunt eum in deserto; in iram concitaverunt eum in inaquoso?

ποσάκις παρεπίκραναν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ παρώργισαν αὐτὸν ἐν γῇ ἀνύδρῳ

And they turned back and tempted God: and grieved the holy one of Israel.

Et conversi sunt, et tentaverunt Deum, et sanctum Israël exacerbaverunt.

καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν καὶ ἐπείρασαν τὸν θεὸν καὶ τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ισραηλ παρώξυναν

They remembered not his hand, in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of him that afflicted them:

Non sunt recordati manus ejus, die qua redemit eos de manu tribulantis:

οὐκ ἐμνήσθησαν τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ἡμέρας ἧς ἐλυτρώσατο αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς θλίβοντος

How he wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Tanis.

sicut posuit in Ægypto signa sua, et prodigia sua in campo Taneos;

ὡς ἔθετο ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ τὰ σημεῖα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ τέρατα αὐτοῦ ἐν πεδίῳ Τάνεως

And he turned their rivers into blood, and their showers that they might not drink.

et convertit in sanguinem flumina eorum, et imbres eorum, ne biberent.

καὶ μετέστρεψεν εἰς αἷμα τοὺς ποταμοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ὀμβρήματα αὐτῶν ὅπως μὴ πίωσιν

He sent amongst them divers sorts of flies, which devoured them: and frogs which destroyed them.

Misit in eos cœnomyiam, et comedit eos, et ranam, et disperdidit eos;

ἐξαπέστειλεν εἰς αὐτοὺς κυνόμυιαν καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτούς καὶ βάτραχον καὶ διέφθειρεν αὐτούς

And he gave up their fruits to the blast, and their labours to the locust.

et dedit ærugini fructus eorum, et labores eorum locustæ;

καὶ ἔδωκεν τῇ ἐρυσίβῃ τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς πόνους αὐτῶν τῇ ἀκρίδι

And he destroyed their vineyards with hail, and their mulberry trees with hoarfrost.

et occidit in grandine vineas eorum, et moros eorum in pruina;

ἀπέκτεινεν ἐν χαλάζῃ τὴν ἄμπελον αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς συκαμίνους αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ πάχνῃ

And he gave up their cattle to the hail, and their stock to the fire.

et tradidit grandini jumenta eorum, et possessionem eorum igni;

καὶ παρέδωκεν εἰς χάλαζαν τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν ὕπαρξιν αὐτῶν τῷ πυρί

And he sent upon them the wrath of his indignation: indignation and wrath and trouble, which he sent by evil angels.

misit in eos iram indignationis suæ, indignationem, et iram, et tribulationem, immissiones per angelos malos.

ἐξαπέστειλεν εἰς αὐτοὺς ὀργὴν θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ θυμὸν καὶ ὀργὴν καὶ θλῖψιν ἀποστολὴν δι' ἀγγέλων πονηρῶν

He made a way for a path to his anger: he spared not their souls from death, and their cattle he shut up in death.

Viam fecit semitæ iræ suæ : non pepercit a morte animabus eorum, et jumenta eorum in morte conclusit:

ὡδοποίησεν τρίβον τῇ ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐφείσατο ἀπὸ θανάτου τῶν ψυχῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν εἰς θάνατον συνέκλεισεν

And he killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: the firstfruits of all their labour in the tabernacles of Cham.

et percussit omne primogenitum in terra Ægypti; primitias omnis laboris eorum in tabernaculis Cham:

καὶ ἐπάταξεν πᾶν πρωτότοκον ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ἀπαρχὴν τῶν πόνων αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασι Χαμ

And he took away his own people as sheep: and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

et abstulit sicut oves populum suum, et perduxit eos tamquam gregem in deserto:

καὶ ἀπῆρεν ὡς πρόβατα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ὡς ποίμνιον ἐν ἐρήμῳ

And he brought them out in hope and they feared not: and the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

et deduxit eos in spe, et non timuerunt, et inimicos eorum operuit mare.

καὶ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἐλπίδι καὶ οὐκ ἐδειλίασαν καὶ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτῶν ἐκάλυψεν θάλασσα

And he brought them into the mountain of his sanctuary: the mountain which his right hand had purchased. And he cast out the Gentiles before them: and by lot divided to them their land by a line of distribution.

Et induxit eos in montem sanctificationis suæ, montem quem acquisivit dextera ejus; et ejecit a facie eorum gentes, et sorte divisit eis terram in funiculo distributionis;

καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς ὅριον ἁγιάσματος αὐτοῦ ὄρος τοῦτο ὃ ἐκτήσατο ἡ δεξιὰ αὐτοῦ

And he made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.

et habitare fecit in tabernaculis eorum tribus Israël.

καὶ ἐξέβαλεν ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν ἔθνη καὶ ἐκληροδότησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν σχοινίῳ κληροδοσίας καὶ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασιν αὐτῶν τὰς φυλὰς τοῦ Ισραηλ

Yet they tempted, and provoked the most high God: and they kept not his testimonies.

Et tentaverunt, et exacerbaverunt Deum excelsum, et testimonia ejus non custodierunt.

καὶ ἐπείρασαν καὶ παρεπίκραναν τὸν θεὸν τὸν ὕψιστον καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐφυλάξαντο

And they turned away, and kept not the covenant: even like their fathers they were turned aside as a crooked bow.

Et averterunt se, et non servaverunt pactum : quemadmodum patres eorum, conversi sunt in arcum pravum.

καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν καὶ ἠσυνθέτησαν καθὼς καὶ οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν καὶ μετεστράφησαν εἰς τόξον στρεβλὸν

They provoked him to anger on their hills: and moved him to jealousy with their graven things.

In iram concitaverunt eum in collibus suis, et in sculptilibus suis ad æmulationem eum provocaverunt.

καὶ παρώργισαν αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς βουνοῖς αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν τοῖς γλυπτοῖς αὐτῶν παρεζήλωσαν αὐτόν

God heard, and despised them, and he reduced Israel exceedingly as it were to nothing.

Audivit Deus, et sprevit, et ad nihilum redegit valde Israël.

ἤκουσεν ὁ θεὸς καὶ ὑπερεῖδεν καὶ ἐξουδένωσεν σφόδρα τὸν Ισραηλ

And he put away the tabernacle of Silo, his tabernacle where he dwelt among men.

Et repulit tabernaculum Silo, tabernaculum suum, ubi habitavit in hominibus.

καὶ ἀπώσατο τὴν σκηνὴν Σηλωμ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ οὗ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν ἀνθρώποις

And he delivered their strength into captivity: and their beauty into the hands of the enemy.

Et tradidit in captivitatem virtutem eorum, et pulchritudinem eorum in manus inimici.

καὶ παρέδωκεν εἰς αἰχμαλωσίαν τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν καλλονὴν αὐτῶν εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθροῦ

And he shut up his people under the sword: and he despised his inheritance.

Et conclusit in gladio populum suum, et hæreditatem suam sprevit.

καὶ συνέκλεισεν εἰς ῥομφαίαν τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ ὑπερεῖδεν

Fire consumed their young men: and their maidens were not lamented.

Juvenes eorum comedit ignis, et virgines eorum non sunt lamentatæ.

τοὺς νεανίσκους αὐτῶν κατέφαγεν πῦρ καὶ αἱ παρθένοι αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐπενθήθησαν

Their priests fell by the sword: and their widows did not mourn.

Sacerdotes eorum in gladio ceciderunt, et viduæ eorum non plorabantur.

οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτῶν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ ἔπεσαν καὶ αἱ χῆραι αὐτῶν οὐ κλαυσθήσονται

And the Lord was awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that hath been surfeited with wine.

Et excitatus est tamquam dormiens Dominus, tamquam potens crapulatus a vino.

καὶ ἐξηγέρθη ὡς ὁ ὑπνῶν κύριος ὡς δυνατὸς κεκραιπαληκὼς ἐξ οἴνου

And he smote his enemies on the hinder parts: he put them to an everlasting reproach.

Et percussit inimicos suos in posteriora; opprobrium sempiternum dedit illis.

καὶ ἐπάταξεν τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω ὄνειδος αἰώνιον ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς

And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph: and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:

Et repulit tabernaculum Joseph, et tribum Ephraim non elegit:

καὶ ἀπώσατο τὸ σκήνωμα Ιωσηφ καὶ τὴν φυλὴν Εφραιμ οὐκ ἐξελέξατο

But he chose the tribe of Juda, mount Sion which he loved.

sed elegit tribum Juda, montem Sion, quem dilexit.

καὶ ἐξελέξατο τὴν φυλὴν Ιουδα τὸ ὄρος τὸ Σιων ὃ ἠγάπησεν

And he built his sanctuary as of unicorns, in the land which he founded for ever.

Et ædificavit sicut unicornium sanctificium suum, in terra quam fundavit in sæcula.

καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ὡς μονοκερώτων τὸ ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐθεμελίωσεν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

And he chose his servant David, and took him from the flocks of sheep: he brought him from following the ewes great with young,

Et elegit David, servum suum, et sustulit eum de gregibus ovium; de post fœtantes accepit eum:

καὶ ἐξελέξατο Δαυιδ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέλαβεν αὐτὸν ἐκ τῶν ποιμνίων τῶν προβάτων

To feed Jacob his servant and Israel his inheritance.

pascere Jacob servum suum, et Israël hæreditatem suam.

ἐξόπισθεν τῶν λοχευομένων ἔλαβεν αὐτὸν ποιμαίνειν Ιακωβ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ Ισραηλ τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ

And he fed them in the innocence of his heart: and conducted them by the skilfulness of his hands.

Et pavit eos in innocentia cordis sui, et in intellectibus manuum suarum deduxit eos.

καὶ ἐποίμανεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἀκακίᾳ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ταῖς συνέσεσι τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ ὡδήγησεν αὐτούς
