| Douay-Rheims | Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587) | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A psalm of a canticle on the sabbath day. | Ψαλμὸς ᾠδῆς εἰς τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ σαββάτου. |
| 2 | It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O most High. | Ἀγαθὸν τὸ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ψάλλειν τῷ ὀνόματί σου, ὕψιστε· |
| 3 | To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night: | τοῦ ἀναγγέλλειν τοπρωῒ τὸ ἔλεός σου, καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου κατὰ νύκτα, |
| 4 | Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp. | ἐν δεκαχόρδῳ ψαλτηρίῳ, μετʼ ᾠδῆς ἐν κιθάρᾳ. |
| 5 | For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice. | Ὅτι εὔφρανάς με, Κύριε, ἐν τῷ ποιήματί σου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν σου ἀγαλλιάσομαι. |
| 6 | O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep. | Ὡς ἐμεγαλύνθη τὰ ἔργα σου, Κύριε; σφόδρα ἐβαθύνθησαν οἱ διαλογισμοί σου. |
| 7 | The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things. | Ἀνὴρ ἄφρων οὐ γνώσεται, καὶ ἀσύνετος οὐ συνήσει ταῦτα. |
| 8 | When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever: | Ἐν τῷ ἀνατεῖλαι τοὺς ἁμαρτωλοὺς ὡσεὶ χόρτον, καὶ διέκυψαν πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν, ὅπως ἂν ἐξολοθρευθῶσιν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος. |
| 9 | But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore. | Σὺ δὲ ὕψιστος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, Κύριε. |
| 10 | For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. | Ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἐχθροί σου ἀπολοῦνται, καὶ διασκορπισθήσονται πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν. |
| 11 | But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy. | Καὶ ὑψωθήσεται ὡς μονοκέρωτος τὸ κέρας μου, καὶ τὸ γῆράς μου ἐν ἐλέῳ πίονι. |
| 12 | My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me. | Καὶ ἐπεῖδεν ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπανισταμένοις ἐπʼ ἐμὲ πονηρευομένοις ἀκούσεται τὸ οὖς μου. |
| 13 | The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus. | Δίκαιος ὡς φοῖνιξ ἀνθήσει, ὡς ἡ κέδρος ἡ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ πληθυνθήσεται· |
| 14 | They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God. | Πεφυτευμένοι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου, ἐν ταῖς αὐλαῖς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐξανθήσουσι. |
| 15 | They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated, | Τότε πληθυνθήσονται ἐν γήρει πίονι, καὶ εὐπαθοῦντες ἔσονται |
| 16 | That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him. | τοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαι· ὅτι εὐθὴς Κύριος ὁ Θεός μου, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀδικία ἐν αὐτῷ. |
