| 1 | Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. | In finem. Psalmus ipsi David. | Εἰς τὸ τέλος, τῷ Δαυὶδ ψαλμός. |
| 2 | With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and he was attentive to me. | Exspectans exspectavi Dominum, et intendit mihi. | Ὑπομένων ὑπέμεινα τὸν Κύριον, καὶ προσέσχε μοι, καὶ εἰσήκουσε τῆς δεήσεώς μου. |
| 3 | And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs. And he set my feet upon a rock, and directed my steps. | Et exaudivit preces meas, et eduxit me de lacu miseriae et de luto faecis. Et statuit super petram pedes meos, et direxit gressus meos. | Καὶ ἀνήγαγέ με ἐκ λάκκου ταλαιπωρίας, καὶ ἀπὸ πηλοῦ ἰλύος· καὶ ἔστησεν ἐπὶ πέτραν τοὺς πόδας μου, καὶ κατεύθυνε τὰ διαβήματά μου. |
| 4 | And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear: and they shall hope in the Lord. | Et immisit in os meum canticum novum, carmen Deo nostro. Videbunt multi, et timebunt, et sperabunt in Domino. | Καὶ ἐνέβαλεν εἰς τὸ στόμα μου ᾆσμα καινὸν, ὕμνον τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν· ὄψονται πολλοὶ καὶ φοβηθήσονται, καὶ ἐλπιοῦσιν ἐπὶ Κύριον. |
| 5 | Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies. | Beatus vir cuius est nomen Domini spes eius, et non respexit in vanitates et insanias falsas. | Μακάριος ἀνὴρ, οὗ ἐστι τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου ἐλπὶς αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπέβλεψεν εἰς ματαιότητας καὶ μανίας ψευδεῖς. |
| 6 | Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number. | Multa fecisti tu, Domine Deus meus, mirabilia tua; et cogitationibus tuis non est qui similis sit tibi. Annuntiavi et locutus sum: multiplicati sunt super numerum. | Πολλὰ ἐποίησας σὺ Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου τὰ θαυμάσιά σου, καὶ τοῖς διαλογισμοῖς σου οὐκ ἔστι τίς ὁμοιωθήσεταί σοι· ἀπήγγειλα καὶ ἐλάλησα, ἐπληθύνθησαν ὑπὲρ ἀριθμόν. |
| 7 | Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require: | Sacrificium et oblationem noluisti; aures autem perfecisti mihi. Holocaustum et pro peccato non postulasti; | Θυσίαν καὶ προσφορὰν οὐκ ἠθέλησας, σῶμα δὲ κατηρτίσω μοι· ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας οὐκ ᾔτησας. |
| 8 | Then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me | tunc dixi: Ecce venio. In capite libri scriptum est de me, | Τότε εἶπον, ἰδοὺ ἥκω· ἐν κεφαλίδι βιβλίου γέγραπται περὶ ἐμοῦ, |
| 9 | That I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart. | ut facerem voluntatem tuam. Deus meus, volui, et legem tuam in medio cordis mei. | τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ θέλημά σου ὁ Θεός μου ἠβουλήθην, καὶ τὸν νόμον σου ἐν μέσῳ τῆς καρδίας μου. |
| 10 | I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it. | Annuntiavi iustitiam tuam in ecclesia magna; ecce labia mea non prohibebo: Domine, tu scisti. | Εὐηγγελισάμην δικαιοσύνην ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ μεγάλῃ, ἰδοὺ τὰ χείλη μου οὐ μὴ κωλύσω. Κύριε, σὺ ἔγνως |
| 11 | I have not hid thy justice within my heart: I have declared thy truth and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from a great council. | Iustitiam tuam non abscondi in corde meo; veritatem tuam et salutare tuum dixi; non abscondi misericordiam tuam et veritatem tuam a concilio multo. | τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου, οὐκ ἔκρυψα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου, καὶ τὸ σωτήριόν σου εἶπα· οὐκ ἔκρυψα τὸ ἔλεός σου καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου ἀπὸ συναγωγῆς πολλῆς. |
| 12 | Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me: thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me. | Tu autem, Domine, ne longe facias miserationes tuas a me; misericordia tua et veritas tua semper susceperunt me. | Σὺ δέ Κύριε μὴ μακρύνῃς τοὺς οἰκτιρμούς σου ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, τὸ ἔλεός σου καὶ ἡ ἀλήθειά σου διαπαντὸς ἀντελάβοντό μου. |
| 13 | For evils without number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: and my heart hath forsaken me. | Quoniam circumdederunt me mala quorum non est numerus; comprehenderunt me iniquitates meae, et non potui ut viderem. Multiplicatae sunt super capillos capitis mei, et cor meum dereliquit me. | Ὅτι περιέσχον με κακὰ, ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμὸς, κατέλαβόν με αἱ ἀνομίαι μου, καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνάσθην τοῦ βλέπειν· ἐπληθύνθησαν ὑπὲρ τὰς τρίχας τῆς κεφαλῆς μου, καὶ ἡ καρδία μου ἐγκατέλιπέ με. |
| 14 | Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me, look down, O Lord, to help me. | Complaceat tibi, Domine, ut eruas me; Domine, ad adiuvandum me respice. | Εὐδόκησον Κύριε τοῦ ῥύσασθαί με, Κύριε εἰς τὸ βοηθῆσαί μοι πρόσχες. |
| 15 | Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul to take it away. Let them be turned backward and be ashamed that desire evils to me. | Confundantur et revereantur simul, qui quaerunt animam meam ut auferant eam; convertantur retrorsum et revereantur, qui volunt mihi mala. | Καταισχυνθείησαν καὶ ἐντραπείησαν ἅμα οἱ ζητοῦντες τὴν ψυχήν μου, τοῦ ἐξάραι αὐτήν· ἀποστραφείησαν εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, καὶ ἐντραπείησαν οἱ θέλοντές μοι κακά. |
| 16 | Let them immediately bear their confusion, that say to me: Tis well, tis well. | Ferant confestim confusionem suam, qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge! | Κομισάσθωσαν παραχρῆμα αἰσχύνην αὐτῶν, οἱ λέγοντές μοι, εὖγε, εὖγε. |
| 17 | Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified. | Exsultent et laetentur super te omnes quaerentes te; et dicant semper: Magnificetur Dominus, qui diligunt salutare tuum. | Ἀγαλλιάσαιντο καὶ εὐφρανθείησαν ἐπὶ σοὶ πάντες οἱ ζητοῦντές σε Κύριε· καὶ εἰπάτωσαν διαπαντὸς, μεγαλυνθήτω ὁ Κύριος, οἱ ἀγαπῶντες τὸ σωτήριόν σου. |
| 18 | But I am a beggar and poor: the Lord is careful for me. Thou art my helper and my protector: O my God, be not slack. | Ego autem mendicus sum et pauper; Dominus sollicitus est mei. Adiutor meus et protector meus tu es; Deus meus, ne tardaveris. | Ἐγὼ δὲ πτωχὸς καὶ πένης εἰμὶ, Κύριος φροντιεῖ μου· βοηθός μου καὶ ὑπερασπιστής μου εἶ σὺ ὁ Θεός μου, μὴ χρονίσῃς. |
