Old Testament
1 I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of His wrath.
1 ΕΓΩ ἀνὴρ ὁ βλέπων πτωχείαν ἐν ράβδῳ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐπ' ἐμέ·
2 He has led me and made me walk In darkness and not in light.
2 παρέλαβέ με καὶ ἀπήγαγέ με εἰς σκότος καὶ οὐ φῶς,
3 Surely He has turned His hand against me Time and time again throughout the day.
3 πλὴν ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐπέστρεψε χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν.
4 He has aged my flesh and my skin, And broken my bones.
4 Ἐπαλαίωσε σάρκα μου καὶ δέρμα μου, ὀστέα μου συνέτριψεν·
5 He has besieged me And surrounded me with bitterness and woe.
5 ἀῳκοδόμησε κατ' ἐμοῦ καὶ ἐκύκλωσε κεφαλήν μου καὶ ἐμόχθησεν,
6 He has set me in dark places Like the dead of long ago.
6 ἐν σκοτεινοῖς ἐκάθισέ με ὡς νεκροὺς αἰῶνος.
7 He has hedged me in so that I cannot get out; He has made my chain heavy.
7 Ἀνῳκοδόμησε κατ' ἐμοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεύσομαι, ἐβάρυνε χαλκόν μου·
8 Even when I cry and shout, He shuts out my prayer.
8 καί γε κεκράξομαι καὶ βοήσω, ἀπέφραξε προσευχήν μου·
9 He has blocked my ways with hewn stone; He has made my paths crooked.
9 ἀνῳκοδόμησεν ὁδούς μου, ἐνέφραξε τρίβους μου, ἐτάραξεν.
10 He has been to me a bear lying in wait, Like a lion in ambush.
10 Ἄρκος ἐνεδρεύουσα αὐτός μοι, λέων ἐν κρυφαίοις·
11 He has turned aside my ways and torn me in pieces; He has made me desolate.
11 κατεδίωξεν ἀφεστηκότα καὶ κατέπαυσέ με, ἔθετό με ἠφανισμένην.
12 He has bent His bow And set me up as a target for the arrow.
12 ἐνέτεινε τόξον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐστήλωσέ με ὡς σκοπὸν εἰς βέλος.
13 He has caused the arrows of His quiver To pierce my loins.
13 Εἰσήγαγεν ἐν τοῖς νεφροῖς μου ἰοὺς φαρέτρας αὐτοῦ·
14 I have become the ridicule of all my people— Their taunting song all the day.
14 ἐγενήθην γέλως παντὶ λαῷ μου, ψαλμὸς αὐτῶν ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν·
15 He has filled me with bitterness, He has made me drink wormwood.
15 ἐχόρτασέ με πικρίας, ἐμέθυσέ με χολῆς.
16 He has also broken my teeth with gravel, And covered me with ashes.
16 Καὶ ἐξέβαλε ψήφῳ ὀδόντας μου, ἐψώμισέ με σποδόν·
17 You have moved my soul far from peace; I have forgotten prosperity.
17 καὶ ἀπώσατο ἐξ εἰρήνης ψυχήν μου,
18 And I said, “My strength and my hope Have perished from the LORD.”
18 ἐπελαθόμην ἀγαθά, καὶ εἶπα· ἀπώλετο νῖκός μου καὶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου ἀπὸ Κυρίου.
19 Remember my affliction and roaming, The wormwood and the gall.
19 Ἐμνήσθην ἀπὸ πτωχείας μου καὶ ἐκδιωγμοῦ μου πικρίας καὶ χολῆς μου.
20 My soul still remembers And sinks within me.
20 μνησθήσεται καὶ καταδολεσχήσει ἐπ' ἐμὲ ἡ ψυχή μου·
21 This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope.
21 ταύτην τάξω εἰς τὴν καρδίαν μου, διὰ τοῦτο ὑπομενῶ.
22 Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.
22 Τὰ ἐλέη Κυρίου, ὅτι οὐκ ἐξέλιπέμε, ὅτι οὐσυνετελέσθησαν οἱ οἰκτιρμοὶ αὐτοῦ· μῆνας εἰς τὰς πρωΐας ἐλέησον, Κύριε, ὅτι οὐ συνετελέσθημεν, ὅτι οὐ συνετελέσθησαν οἱ οἰκτιρμοὶ αὐτοῦ.
23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.
23 καινὰ εἰς τὰς πρωΐας, πολλὴ ἡ πίστις σου.
24 “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!”
24 μερίς μου Κύριος, εἶπεν ἡ ψυχή μου· διὰ τοῦτο ὑπομενῶ αὐτῷ.
25 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.
25 Ἀγαθὸς Κύριος τοῖς ὑπομένουσιν αὐτόν, ψυχὴ ἣ ζητήσει αὐτὸν ἀγαθὸν
26 It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the LORD.
26 καὶ ὑπομεννεῖ καὶ ἡσυχάσει εἰς τὸ σωτήριον Κυρίου.
27 It is good for a man to bear The yoke in his youth.
27 ἀγαθὸν ἀνδρί, ὅταν ἄρῃ ζυγὸν ἐν νεότητι αὐτοῦ.
28 Let him sit alone and keep silent, Because God has laid it on him;
28 Καθήσεται κατὰ μόνας καὶ σιωπήσεται, ὅτι ᾖρεν ἐφ' ἑαυτῷ·
29 Let him put his mouth in the dust— There may yet be hope.
30 δώσει τῷ παίοντι αὐτὸν σιαγόνα, χορτασθήσεται ὀνειδισμῶν.
30 Let him give his cheek to the one who strikes him, And be full of reproach.
31 ¨Οτι οὐκ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀπώσεται Κύριος.
31 For the Lord will not cast off forever.
32 ὅτι ὁ ταπεινώσας οἰκτειρήσει κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ ἐλέους αὐτοῦ·
32 Though He causes grief, Yet He will show compassion According to the multitude of His mercies.
33 ὅτι οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη ἀπὸ καρδίας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐταπείνωσεν υἱοὺς ἀνδρός.
33 For He does not afflict willingly, Nor grieve the children of men.
34 Τοῦ ταπεινῶσαι ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ πάντας δεσμίους γῆς,
34 To crush under one’s feet All the prisoners of the earth,
35 τοῦ ἐκκλῖναι κρίσιν ἀνδρὸς κατέναντι προσώπου Ὑψίστου,
35 To turn aside the justice due a man Before the face of the Most High,
36 καταδικάσαι ἄνθρωπον ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαι αὐτὸν Κύριος οὐκ εἶπε.
36 Or subvert a man in his cause— The Lord does not approve.
37 Τίς οὕτως εἶπε, καὶ ἐγενήθη; Κύριος οὐκ ἐνετείλατο.
37 Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass, When the Lord has not commanded it?
38 ἐκ στόματος Ὑψίστου οὐκ ἐξελεύσεται τὰ κακὰ καὶ τὸ ἀγαθόν;
38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High That woe and well-being proceed?
39 τί γογγύσει ἄνθρωπος ζῶν, ἀνὴρ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ;
39 Why should a living man complain, A man for the punishment of his sins?
40 Ἐξηρευνήθη ἡ ὁδὸς ἡμῶν καὶ ἠτάσθη, κὶ ἐπιστρέψομεν ἕως Κυρίου·
40 Let us search out and examine our ways, And turn back to the LORD;
41 ἀναλάβωμεν καρδίας ἡμῶν ἐπὶ χειρῶν πρὸς ὑψηλὸν ἐν οὐρανῷ·
41 Let us lift our hearts and hands To God in heaven.
42 ἡμαρτήσαμεν, ἠσεβήσαμεν, καὶ οὐχ ἱλάσθης.
42 We have transgressed and rebelled; You have not pardoned.
43 Ἐπεσκέπασας ἐν θυμῷ καὶ ἀπεδίωξας ἡμᾶς· ἀπέκτεινας, οὐκ ἐφείσω.
43 You have covered Yourself with anger And pursued us; You have slain and not pitied.
44 Ἐπεσκέπασας νεφέλην σεαυτῷ ἕνεκεν προσευχῆς,
44 You have covered Yourself with a cloud, That prayer should not pass through.
45 καμμύσαι με καὶ ἀπωσθῆναι ἔθηκας ἡμᾶς ἐν μέσῳ τῶν λαῶν.
45 You have made us an offscouring and refuse In the midst of the peoples.
46 Διήνοιξαν ἐφ' ἡμᾶς τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν πάντες οἱ ἐχθροὶ ἡμῶν·
46 All our enemies Have opened their mouths against us.
47 φόβος καὶ θυμὸς ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν, ἔπαρσις καὶ συντριβή.
47 Fear and a snare have come upon us, Desolation and destruction.
48 ἀφέσεις ὑδάτων κατάξει ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπὶ τὸ σύντριμμα τῆς θυγατρὸς τοῦ λαοῦ μου.
48 My eyes overflow with rivers of water For the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49 Ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου κατεπόθη, καὶ οὐ σιγήσομαι τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἔκνηψιν,
49 My eyes flow and do not cease, Without interruption,
50 ἕως οὗ διακύψῃ καὶ ἴδῃ Κύριος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ·
50 Till the LORD from heaven Looks down and sees.
51 ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπιφυλλιεῖ ἐπὶ τὴν ψυχήν μου παρὰ πάσας θυγατέρας πόλεως.
51 My eyes bring suffering to my soul Because of all the daughters of my city.
52 Θηρεύοντες ἐθήρευσάν με ὡς στρουθίον πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί μου δωρεάν,
52 My enemies without cause Hunted me down like a bird.
53 ἐθανάτωσαν ἐν λάκκῳ ζωήν μου καὶ ἐπέθηκαν λίθον ἐπ' ἐμοί.
53 They silenced my life in the pit And threw stones at me.
54 ὑπερεχύθη ὕδωρ ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν μου· εἶπα· ἀπῶσμαι.
54 The waters flowed over my head; I said, “I am cut off!”
55 Ἐπεκαλεσάμην τὸ ὄνομά σου, Κύριε, ἐκ λάκκου κατωτάτου·
55 I called on Your name, O LORD, From the lowest pit.
56 φωνήν μου ἤκουσας· μὴ κρύψῃς τὰ ὦτά σου εἰς τὴν δέησίν μου.
56 You have heard my voice: “Do not hide Your ear From my sighing, from my cry for help.”
57 εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν μου ἤγγισας ἐν ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ἐπεκαλεσάμην σε· εἶπάς μοι· μὴ φοβοῦ.
57 You drew near on the day I called on You, And said, “Do not fear!”
58 Ἐδίκασας, Κύριε, τὰς δίκας τῆς ψυχῆς μου, ἐλυτρώσω τὴν ζωήν μου·
58 O Lord, You have pleaded the case for my soul; You have redeemed my life.
59 εἶδες, Κύριε, τὰς ταραχάς μου, ἔκρινας τὴν κρίσιν μου·
59 O LORD, You have seen how I am wronged; Judge my case.
60 εἶδες πᾶσαν τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν εἰς πάντας διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν ἐμοί.
60 You have seen all their vengeance, All their schemes against me.
61 Ἤκουσας τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτῶν, πάντας τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν κατ' ἐμοῦ,
61 You have heard their reproach, O LORD, All their schemes against me,
62 χείλη ἐπανισταμένων μοι καὶ μελέτας αὐτῶν κατ' ἐμοῦ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν,
62 The lips of my enemies And their whispering against me all the day.
63 καθέδραν αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνάστασιν αὐτῶν· ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν.
63 Look at their sitting down and their rising up; I am their taunting song.
64 Ἀποδώσεις αὐτοῖς ἀνταπόδομα, Κύριε, κατὰ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν.
64 Repay them, O LORD, According to the work of their hands.
65 ἀποδώσεις αὐτοῖς ὑπερασπισμὸν καρδίας, μόχθον σου αὐτοῖας,
65 Give them a veiled heart; Your curse be upon them!
66 καταδιώξεις ἐν ὀργῇ καὶ ἐξαναλώσεις αὐτοὺς ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, Κύριε.
66 In Your anger, Pursue and destroy them From under the heavens of the LORD.
