Psalms-Chapter 63

1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ.

2 Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation; Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2 ΕΙΣΑΚΟΥΣΟΝ, ὁ Θεός, τῆς φωνῆς μου, ἐν τῷ δέεσθαί με πρὸς σέ, ἀπὸ φόβου ἐχθροῦ ἐξελοῦ τὴν ψυχήν μου.

3 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,

3 ἐσκέπασάς με ἀπὸ συστροφῆς πονηρευομένων, ἀπὸ πλήθους ἐργαζομένων ἀδικίαν,

4 Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,

4 οἵτινες ἠκόνησαν ὡς ρομφαίαν τὰς γλώσσας αὐτῶν, ἐνέτειναν τόξον αὐτῶν πρᾶγμα πικρὸν

5 That they may shoot in secret at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.

5 τοῦ κατατοξεῦσαι ἐν ἀποκρύφοις ἄμωμον, ἐξάπινα κατατοξεύσουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσονται.

6 They encourage themselves in an evil matter; They talk of laying snares secretly; They say, “Who will see them?”

6 ἐκραταίωσαν ἑαυτοῖς λόγον πονηρόν, διηγήσαντο τοῦ κρύψαι παγίδας, εἶπαν· τίς ὄψεται αὐτούς;

7 They devise iniquities: “We have perfected a shrewd scheme.” Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.

7 ἐξηρεύνησαν ἀνομίαν, ἐξέλιπον ἐξερευνῶντες ἐξερευνήσεις. προσελεύσεται ἄνθρωπος, καὶ καρδία βαθεῖα,

8 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly they shall be wounded.

8 καὶ ὑψωθήσεται, ὁ Θεός. βέλος νηπίων ἐγενήθησαν αἱ πληγαὶ αὐτῶν,

9 So He will make them stumble over their own tongue; All who see them shall flee away.

9 καὶ ἐξησθένησαν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς αἱ γλῶσσαι αὐτῶν. ἐταράχθησαν πάντες οἱ θεωροῦντες αὐτούς,

10 All men shall fear, And shall declare the work of God; For they shall wisely consider His doing.

10 καὶ ἐφοβήθη πᾶς ἄνθρωπος. καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τὰ ποιήματα αὐτοῦ συνῆκαν.

11 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and trust in Him. And all the upright in heart shall glory.

11 εὐφρανθήσεται δίκαιος ἐν τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ ἐλπιεῖ ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ ἐπαινεθήσονται πάντες οἱ εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ.
