Delphi Septuagint, page 960
[7] And the congregation of the nations shall compass thee: and for this cause do thou return on high.
[9] κύριος κρινεῖ λαούς· κρῖνόν με, κύριε, κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἀκακίαν μου ἐπ’ ἐμοί.
[8] The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.
[10] συντελεσθήτω δὴ πονηρία ἁμαρτωλῶν, καὶ κατευθυνεῖς δίκαιον· ἐτάζων καρδίας καὶ νεφροὺς ὁ θεός.
[9] Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and then thou shalt direct the righteous, O God that searchest the hearts and reins.
[11] δικαία ἡ βοήθειά μου παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ σῴζοντος τοὺς εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ.
[10] My help is righteous, coming from God who saves the upright in heart.
[12] ὁ θεὸς κριτὴς δίκαιος καὶ ἰσχυρὸς καὶ μακρόθυμος μὴ ὀργὴν ἐπάγων καθ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν.
[11] God is a righteous judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.
[13] ἐὰν μὴ ἐπιστραφῆτε, τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ στιλβώσει· τὸ τόξον αὐτοῦ ἐνέτεινεν καὶ ἡτοίμασεν αὐτὸ
[12] If ye will not repent, he will furbish his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.
[14] καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ ἡτοίμασεν σκεύη θανάτου, τὰ βέλη αὐτοῦ τοῖς καιομένοις ἐξειργάσατο.
[13] And on it he has fitted the instruments of death; he has completed his arrows for the raging ones.
[15] ἰδοὺ ὠδίνησεν ἀδικίαν, συνέλαβεν πόνον καὶ ἔτεκεν ἀνομίαν·
[14] Behold, he has travailed with unrighteousness, he has conceived trouble, and brought forth iniquity.
[16] λάκκον ὤρυξεν καὶ ἀνέσκαψεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς βόθρον, ὃν εἰργάσατο·
[15] He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.
[17] ἐπιστρέψει ὁ πόνος αὐτοῦ εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ κορυφὴν αὐτοῦ ἡ ἀδικία αὐτοῦ καταβήσεται.
[16] His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.
[18] ἐξομολογήσομαι κυρίῳ κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ καὶ ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ ὑψίστου.
[17] I will give thanks to the Lord according to his righteousness; I will sing to the name of the Lord most high.
Ψαλμός 8
Psalm 8
[1] Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῶν ληνῶν· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ.
For the end, concerning the wine-presses, a Psalm of David.
[2] Κύριε ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν, ὡς θαυμαστὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ, ὅτι ἐπήρθη ἡ μεγαλοπρέπειά σου ὑπεράνω τῶν οὐρανῶν.
[1] O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth! for thy magnificence is exalted above the heavens.
[3] ἐκ στόματος νηπίων καὶ θηλαζόντων κατηρτίσω αἶνον ἕνεκα τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου τοῦ καταλῦσαι ἐχθρὸν καὶ ἐκδικητήν.
[2] Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou perfected praise, because of thine enemies; that thou mightest put down the enemy and avenger.
[4] ὅτι ὄψομαι τοὺς οὐρανούς, ἔργα τῶν δακτύλων σου, σελήνην καὶ ἀστέρας, ἃ σὺ ἐθεμελίωσας.
[3] For I will regard the heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and stars, which thou hast established.
[5] τί ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος, ὅτι μιμνῄσκῃ αὐτοῦ, ἢ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου, ὅτι ἐπισκέπτῃ αὐτόν;
[4] What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
[6] ἠλάττωσας αὐτὸν βραχύ τι παρ’ ἀγγέλους, δόξῃ καὶ τιμῇ ἐστεφάνωσας αὐτόν·
[5] Thou madest him a little less than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour;
[7] καὶ κατέστησας αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σου, πάντα ὑπέταξας ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ,
[6] and thou hast set him over the works of thy hands: thou hast put all things under his feet:
[8] πρόβατα καὶ βόας πάσας, ἔτι δὲ καὶ τὰ κτήνη τοῦ πεδίου,
[7] sheep and all oxen, yea and the cattle of the field;
[9] τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἰχθύας τῆς θαλάσσης, τὰ διαπορευόμενα τρίβους θαλασσῶν.
[8] the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the creatures passing through the paths of the sea.
[10] κύριε ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν, ὡς θαυμαστὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ.
[9] O Lord our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth!
Ψαλμός 9
Psalm 9
[1] Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῶν κρυφίων τοῦ υἱοῦ· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ.
For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning the secrets of the Son.
[2] Ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι, κύριε, ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου, διηγήσομαι πάντα τὰ θαυμάσιά σου·
[2] I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will recount all thy wonderful works.
[3] εὐφρανθήσομαι καὶ ἀγαλλιάσομαι ἐν σοί, ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου, ὕψιστε.
[3] I will be glad and exult in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou Most High.
[4] ἐν τῷ ἀποστραφῆναι τὸν ἐχθρόν μου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω ἀσθενήσουσιν καὶ ἀπολοῦνται ἀπὸ προσώπου σου,
[4] When mine enemies are turned back, they shall be feeble and perish at thy presence.
[5] ὅτι ἐποίησας τὴν κρίσιν μου καὶ τὴν δίκην μου, ἐκάθισας ἐπὶ θρόνου, ὁ κρίνων δικαιοσύνην.
[5] For thou hast maintained my cause and my right; thou satest on the throne, that judgest righteousness.
[6] ἐπετίμησας ἔθνεσιν, καὶ ἀπώλετο ὁ ἀσεβής, τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ἐξήλειψας εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος·
[6] Thou hast rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever.
[7] τοῦ ἐχθροῦ ἐξέλιπον αἱ ῥομφαῖαι εἰς τέλος, καὶ πόλεις καθεῖλες, ἀπώλετο τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν μετ’ ἤχους.
[7] The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and thou hast destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise,
[8] καὶ ὁ κύριος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένει, ἡτοίμασεν ἐν κρίσει τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ,
[8] but the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
[9] καὶ αὐτὸς κρινεῖ τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ, κρινεῖ λαοὺς ἐν εὐθύτητι.
[9] And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in uprightness.
[10] καὶ ἐγένετο κύριος καταφυγὴ τῷ πένητι, βοηθὸς ἐν εὐκαιρίαις ἐν θλίψει·
[10] The Lord also is become a refuge for the poor, a seasonable help, in affliction.
[11] καὶ ἐλπισάτωσαν ἐπὶ σὲ οἱ γινώσκοντες τὸ ὄνομά σου, ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπες τοὺς ἐκζητοῦντάς σε, κύριε.
[11] And let them that know thy name hope in thee: for thou, O Lord, hast not failed them that diligently seek thee.
[12] ψάλατε τῷ κυρίῳ τῷ κατοικοῦντι ἐν Σιων, ἀναγγείλατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ,
[12] Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Sion: declare his dealings among the nations.
[13] ὅτι ἐκζητῶν τὰ αἵματα αὐτῶν ἐμνήσθη, οὐκ ἐπελάθετο τῆς κραυγῆς τῶν πενήτων.
[13] For he remembered them, in making inquisition for blood: he has not forgotten the supplication of the poor.
[14] ἐλέησόν με, κύριε, ἰδὲ τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου, ὁ ὑψῶν με ἐκ τῶν πυλῶν τοῦ θανάτου,
[14] Have mercy upon me, O Lord; look upon my affliction which I suffer of mine enemies, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
[15] ὅπως ἂν ἐξαγγείλω πάσας τὰς αἰνέσεις σου ἐν ταῖς πύλαις τῆς θυγατρὸς Σιων· ἀγαλλιάσομαι ἐπὶ τῷ σωτηρίῳ σου.
[15] that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion: I will exult in thy salvation.
[16] ἐνεπάγησαν ἔθνη ἐν διαφθορᾷ, ᾗ ἐποίησαν, ἐν παγίδι ταύτῃ, ᾗ ἔκρυψαν, συνελήμφθη ὁ ποὺς αὐτῶν·
[16] The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the very snare which they hid is their foot taken.
[17] γινώσκεται κύριος κρίματα ποιῶν, ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ συνελήμφθη ὁ ἁμαρτωλός. ᾠδὴ διαψάλματος.
[17] The Lord is known as executing judgments: the sinner is taken in the works of his hands. (A song of Pause).
[18] ἀποστραφήτωσαν οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ εἰς τὸν ᾅδην, πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ἐπιλανθανόμενα τοῦ θεοῦ·
[18] Let sinners be driven away into Hades, even all the nations that forget God.
[19] ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τέλος ἐπιλησθήσεται ὁ πτωχός, ἡ ὑπομονὴ τῶν πενήτων οὐκ ἀπολεῖται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
[19] For the poor shall not be forgotten for ever: the patience of the needy ones shall not perish for ever.
[20] ἀνάστηθι, κύριε, μὴ κραταιούσθω ἄνθρωπος, κριθήτωσαν ἔθνη ἐνώπιόν σου·
[20] Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged before thee.
[21] κατάστησον, κύριε, νομοθέτην ἐπ’ αὐτούς, γνώτωσαν ἔθνη ὅτι ἄνθρωποί εἰσιν. διάψαλμα.
[21] Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: let the heathen know that they are men. (Pause).
[22] Ἱνα τί, κύριε, ἀφέστηκας μακρόθεν, ὑπερορᾷς ἐν εὐκαιρίαις ἐν θλίψει;
[22] Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? why dost thou overlook us in times of need, in affliction?
[23] ἐν τῷ ὑπερηφανεύεσθαι τὸν ἀσεβῆ ἐμπυρίζεται ὁ πτωχός, συλλαμβάνονται ἐν διαβουλίοις, οἷς διαλογίζονται.
[23] While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued: the wicked are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.
[24] ὅτι ἐπαινεῖται ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς ἐν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ ἀδικῶν ἐνευλογεῖται·
[24] Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.
[25] παρώξυνεν τὸν κύριον ὁ ἁμαρτωλός Κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῆς ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐκζητήσει· οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ θεὸς ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.
[25] The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after him: God is not before him.
[26] βεβηλοῦνται αἱ ὁδοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ, ἀνταναιρεῖται τὰ κρίματά σου ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ κατακυριεύσει·
[26] His ways are profane at all times; thy judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.
[27] εἶπεν γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ Οὐ μὴ σαλευθῶ, ἀπὸ γενεᾶς εἰς γενεὰν ἄνευ κακοῦ.
[27] For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, continuing without evil from generation to generation.
[28] οὗ ἀρᾶς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ γέμει καὶ πικρίας καὶ δόλου, ὑπὸ τὴν γλῶσσαν αὐτοῦ κόπος καὶ πόνος.
[28] Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.
[29] ἐγκάθηται ἐνέδρᾳ μετὰ πλουσίων ἐν ἀποκρύφοις ἀποκτεῖναι ἀθῷον, οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν πένητα ἀποβλέπουσιν·
[29] He lies in wait with rich men in secret places, in order to slay the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.
[30] ἐνεδρεύει ἐν ἀποκρύφῳ ὡς λέων ἐν τῇ μάνδρᾳ αὐτοῦ, ἐνεδρεύει τοῦ ἁρπάσαι πτωχόν, ἁρπάσαι πτωχὸν ἐν τῷ ἑλκύσαι αὐτόν·
[30] He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him after him: he will bring him down in his snare.
[31] ἐν τῇ παγίδι αὐτοῦ ταπεινώσει αὐτόν, κύψει καὶ πεσεῖται ἐν τῷ αὐτὸν κατακυριεῦσαι τῶν πενήτων.
[31] He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.
[32] εἶπεν γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ Ἐπιλέλησται ὁ θεός, ἀπέστρεψεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν εἰς τέλος.
[32] For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face so as never to look.
[33] ἀνάστηθι, κύριε ὁ θεός, ὑψωθήτω ἡ χείρ σου, μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ τῶν πενήτων·
[33] Arise, O Lord God; let thy hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.
[34] ἕνεκεν τίνος παρώξυνεν ὁ ἀσεβὴς τὸν θεόν; εἶπεν γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ Οὐκ ἐκζητήσει.
[34] Wherefore, has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He will not require it.
[35] βλέπεις, ὅτι σὺ πόνον καὶ θυμὸν κατανοεῖς τοῦ παραδοῦναι αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖράς σου· σοὶ οὖν ἐγκαταλέλειπται ὁ πτωχός, ὀρφανῷ σὺ ἦσθα βοηθῶν.
[35] Thou seest it; for thou dost observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into thy hands: the poor has been left to thee; thou wast a helper to the orphan.
[36] σύντριψον τὸν βραχίονα τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ καὶ πονηροῦ, ζητηθήσεται ἡ ἁμαρτία αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ δι’ αὐτήν·
[36] Break thou the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.
[37] βασιλεύσει κύριος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος, ἀπολεῖσθε, ἔθνη, ἐκ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ.
[37] The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish out his land.
[38] τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν τῶν πενήτων εἰσήκουσεν κύριος, τὴν ἑτοιμασίαν τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν προσέσχεν τὸ οὖς σου
[38] The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: thine ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart;
[39] κρῖναι ὀρφανῷ καὶ ταπεινῷ, ἵνα μὴ προσθῇ ἔτι τοῦ μεγαλαυχεῖν ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
[39] to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.
Ψαλμός 10
Psalm 10
Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ.
For the end, A Psalm of David,
ΕΠΙ τῷ Κυρίῳ πέποιθα· πῶς ἐρεῖτε τῇ ψυχῇ μου· μεταναστεύου ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη ὡς στρουθίον;
In the Lord I have put my trust: how will ye say to my soul, Flee to the mountains as a sparrow?
[2] ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐνέτειναν τόξον, ἡτοίμασαν βέλη εἰς φαρέτραν τοῦ κατατοξεῦσαι ἐν σκοτομήνῃ τοὺς εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ.
[2] For behold the sinners have bent their bow, they have prepared their arrows for the quiver, to shoot privily at the upright in heart.
[3] ὅτι ἃ σὺ κατηρτίσω, αὐτοὶ καθεῖλον· ὁ δὲ δίκαιος τί ἐποίησε;
[3] For they have pulled down what thou didst frame, but what has the righteous done?
[4] Κύριος ἐν ναῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ· Κύριος ἐν οὐρανῷ ὁ θρόνος αὐτοῦ. οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν πένητα ἀποβλέπουσι, τὰ βλέφαρα αὐτοῦ ἐξετάζει τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων.
[9] κύριος κρινεῖ λαούς· κρῖνόν με, κύριε, κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἀκακίαν μου ἐπ’ ἐμοί.
[8] The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.
[10] συντελεσθήτω δὴ πονηρία ἁμαρτωλῶν, καὶ κατευθυνεῖς δίκαιον· ἐτάζων καρδίας καὶ νεφροὺς ὁ θεός.
[9] Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and then thou shalt direct the righteous, O God that searchest the hearts and reins.
[11] δικαία ἡ βοήθειά μου παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ σῴζοντος τοὺς εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ.
[10] My help is righteous, coming from God who saves the upright in heart.
[12] ὁ θεὸς κριτὴς δίκαιος καὶ ἰσχυρὸς καὶ μακρόθυμος μὴ ὀργὴν ἐπάγων καθ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν.
[11] God is a righteous judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.
[13] ἐὰν μὴ ἐπιστραφῆτε, τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ στιλβώσει· τὸ τόξον αὐτοῦ ἐνέτεινεν καὶ ἡτοίμασεν αὐτὸ
[12] If ye will not repent, he will furbish his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.
[14] καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ ἡτοίμασεν σκεύη θανάτου, τὰ βέλη αὐτοῦ τοῖς καιομένοις ἐξειργάσατο.
[13] And on it he has fitted the instruments of death; he has completed his arrows for the raging ones.
[15] ἰδοὺ ὠδίνησεν ἀδικίαν, συνέλαβεν πόνον καὶ ἔτεκεν ἀνομίαν·
[14] Behold, he has travailed with unrighteousness, he has conceived trouble, and brought forth iniquity.
[16] λάκκον ὤρυξεν καὶ ἀνέσκαψεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς βόθρον, ὃν εἰργάσατο·
[15] He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.
[17] ἐπιστρέψει ὁ πόνος αὐτοῦ εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ κορυφὴν αὐτοῦ ἡ ἀδικία αὐτοῦ καταβήσεται.
[16] His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.
[18] ἐξομολογήσομαι κυρίῳ κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ καὶ ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ ὑψίστου.
[17] I will give thanks to the Lord according to his righteousness; I will sing to the name of the Lord most high.

For the end, concerning the wine-presses, a Psalm of David.

[1] O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth! for thy magnificence is exalted above the heavens.
[3] ἐκ στόματος νηπίων καὶ θηλαζόντων κατηρτίσω αἶνον ἕνεκα τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου τοῦ καταλῦσαι ἐχθρὸν καὶ ἐκδικητήν.
[2] Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou perfected praise, because of thine enemies; that thou mightest put down the enemy and avenger.
[4] ὅτι ὄψομαι τοὺς οὐρανούς, ἔργα τῶν δακτύλων σου, σελήνην καὶ ἀστέρας, ἃ σὺ ἐθεμελίωσας.
[3] For I will regard the heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and stars, which thou hast established.
[5] τί ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος, ὅτι μιμνῄσκῃ αὐτοῦ, ἢ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου, ὅτι ἐπισκέπτῃ αὐτόν;
[4] What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
[6] ἠλάττωσας αὐτὸν βραχύ τι παρ’ ἀγγέλους, δόξῃ καὶ τιμῇ ἐστεφάνωσας αὐτόν·
[5] Thou madest him a little less than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour;
[7] καὶ κατέστησας αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σου, πάντα ὑπέταξας ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ,
[6] and thou hast set him over the works of thy hands: thou hast put all things under his feet:
[8] πρόβατα καὶ βόας πάσας, ἔτι δὲ καὶ τὰ κτήνη τοῦ πεδίου,
[7] sheep and all oxen, yea and the cattle of the field;
[9] τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἰχθύας τῆς θαλάσσης, τὰ διαπορευόμενα τρίβους θαλασσῶν.
[8] the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the creatures passing through the paths of the sea.

[2] Ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι, κύριε, ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου, διηγήσομαι πάντα τὰ θαυμάσιά σου·
[2] I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will recount all thy wonderful works.
[3] εὐφρανθήσομαι καὶ ἀγαλλιάσομαι ἐν σοί, ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου, ὕψιστε.
[3] I will be glad and exult in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou Most High.
[4] ἐν τῷ ἀποστραφῆναι τὸν ἐχθρόν μου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω ἀσθενήσουσιν καὶ ἀπολοῦνται ἀπὸ προσώπου σου,
[4] When mine enemies are turned back, they shall be feeble and perish at thy presence.
[5] ὅτι ἐποίησας τὴν κρίσιν μου καὶ τὴν δίκην μου, ἐκάθισας ἐπὶ θρόνου, ὁ κρίνων δικαιοσύνην.
[5] For thou hast maintained my cause and my right; thou satest on the throne, that judgest righteousness.
[6] ἐπετίμησας ἔθνεσιν, καὶ ἀπώλετο ὁ ἀσεβής, τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ἐξήλειψας εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος·
[6] Thou hast rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever.
[7] τοῦ ἐχθροῦ ἐξέλιπον αἱ ῥομφαῖαι εἰς τέλος, καὶ πόλεις καθεῖλες, ἀπώλετο τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν μετ’ ἤχους.
[7] The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and thou hast destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise,
[8] καὶ ὁ κύριος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένει, ἡτοίμασεν ἐν κρίσει τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ,
[8] but the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
[9] καὶ αὐτὸς κρινεῖ τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ, κρινεῖ λαοὺς ἐν εὐθύτητι.
[9] And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in uprightness.
[10] καὶ ἐγένετο κύριος καταφυγὴ τῷ πένητι, βοηθὸς ἐν εὐκαιρίαις ἐν θλίψει·
[10] The Lord also is become a refuge for the poor, a seasonable help, in affliction.
[11] καὶ ἐλπισάτωσαν ἐπὶ σὲ οἱ γινώσκοντες τὸ ὄνομά σου, ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπες τοὺς ἐκζητοῦντάς σε, κύριε.
[11] And let them that know thy name hope in thee: for thou, O Lord, hast not failed them that diligently seek thee.
[12] ψάλατε τῷ κυρίῳ τῷ κατοικοῦντι ἐν Σιων, ἀναγγείλατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ,
[12] Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Sion: declare his dealings among the nations.
[13] ὅτι ἐκζητῶν τὰ αἵματα αὐτῶν ἐμνήσθη, οὐκ ἐπελάθετο τῆς κραυγῆς τῶν πενήτων.
[13] For he remembered them, in making inquisition for blood: he has not forgotten the supplication of the poor.
[14] ἐλέησόν με, κύριε, ἰδὲ τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου, ὁ ὑψῶν με ἐκ τῶν πυλῶν τοῦ θανάτου,
[14] Have mercy upon me, O Lord; look upon my affliction which I suffer of mine enemies, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
[15] ὅπως ἂν ἐξαγγείλω πάσας τὰς αἰνέσεις σου ἐν ταῖς πύλαις τῆς θυγατρὸς Σιων· ἀγαλλιάσομαι ἐπὶ τῷ σωτηρίῳ σου.
[15] that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion: I will exult in thy salvation.
[16] ἐνεπάγησαν ἔθνη ἐν διαφθορᾷ, ᾗ ἐποίησαν, ἐν παγίδι ταύτῃ, ᾗ ἔκρυψαν, συνελήμφθη ὁ ποὺς αὐτῶν·
[16] The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the very snare which they hid is their foot taken.
[17] γινώσκεται κύριος κρίματα ποιῶν, ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ συνελήμφθη ὁ ἁμαρτωλός. ᾠδὴ διαψάλματος.
[17] The Lord is known as executing judgments: the sinner is taken in the works of his hands. (A song of Pause).
[18] ἀποστραφήτωσαν οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ εἰς τὸν ᾅδην, πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ἐπιλανθανόμενα τοῦ θεοῦ·
[18] Let sinners be driven away into Hades, even all the nations that forget God.
[19] ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τέλος ἐπιλησθήσεται ὁ πτωχός, ἡ ὑπομονὴ τῶν πενήτων οὐκ ἀπολεῖται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
[19] For the poor shall not be forgotten for ever: the patience of the needy ones shall not perish for ever.
[20] ἀνάστηθι, κύριε, μὴ κραταιούσθω ἄνθρωπος, κριθήτωσαν ἔθνη ἐνώπιόν σου·
[20] Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged before thee.
[21] κατάστησον, κύριε, νομοθέτην ἐπ’ αὐτούς, γνώτωσαν ἔθνη ὅτι ἄνθρωποί εἰσιν. διάψαλμα.
[21] Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: let the heathen know that they are men. (Pause).
[22] Ἱνα τί, κύριε, ἀφέστηκας μακρόθεν, ὑπερορᾷς ἐν εὐκαιρίαις ἐν θλίψει;
[22] Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? why dost thou overlook us in times of need, in affliction?
[23] ἐν τῷ ὑπερηφανεύεσθαι τὸν ἀσεβῆ ἐμπυρίζεται ὁ πτωχός, συλλαμβάνονται ἐν διαβουλίοις, οἷς διαλογίζονται.
[23] While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued: the wicked are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.
[24] ὅτι ἐπαινεῖται ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς ἐν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ ἀδικῶν ἐνευλογεῖται·
[24] Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.
[25] παρώξυνεν τὸν κύριον ὁ ἁμαρτωλός Κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῆς ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐκζητήσει· οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ θεὸς ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.
[25] The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after him: God is not before him.
[26] βεβηλοῦνται αἱ ὁδοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ, ἀνταναιρεῖται τὰ κρίματά σου ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ κατακυριεύσει·
[26] His ways are profane at all times; thy judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.
[27] εἶπεν γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ Οὐ μὴ σαλευθῶ, ἀπὸ γενεᾶς εἰς γενεὰν ἄνευ κακοῦ.
[27] For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, continuing without evil from generation to generation.
[28] οὗ ἀρᾶς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ γέμει καὶ πικρίας καὶ δόλου, ὑπὸ τὴν γλῶσσαν αὐτοῦ κόπος καὶ πόνος.
[28] Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.
[29] ἐγκάθηται ἐνέδρᾳ μετὰ πλουσίων ἐν ἀποκρύφοις ἀποκτεῖναι ἀθῷον, οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν πένητα ἀποβλέπουσιν·
[29] He lies in wait with rich men in secret places, in order to slay the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.
[30] ἐνεδρεύει ἐν ἀποκρύφῳ ὡς λέων ἐν τῇ μάνδρᾳ αὐτοῦ, ἐνεδρεύει τοῦ ἁρπάσαι πτωχόν, ἁρπάσαι πτωχὸν ἐν τῷ ἑλκύσαι αὐτόν·
[30] He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him after him: he will bring him down in his snare.
[31] ἐν τῇ παγίδι αὐτοῦ ταπεινώσει αὐτόν, κύψει καὶ πεσεῖται ἐν τῷ αὐτὸν κατακυριεῦσαι τῶν πενήτων.
[31] He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.
[32] εἶπεν γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ Ἐπιλέλησται ὁ θεός, ἀπέστρεψεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν εἰς τέλος.
[32] For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face so as never to look.
[33] ἀνάστηθι, κύριε ὁ θεός, ὑψωθήτω ἡ χείρ σου, μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ τῶν πενήτων·
[33] Arise, O Lord God; let thy hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.
[34] ἕνεκεν τίνος παρώξυνεν ὁ ἀσεβὴς τὸν θεόν; εἶπεν γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ Οὐκ ἐκζητήσει.
[34] Wherefore, has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He will not require it.
[35] βλέπεις, ὅτι σὺ πόνον καὶ θυμὸν κατανοεῖς τοῦ παραδοῦναι αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖράς σου· σοὶ οὖν ἐγκαταλέλειπται ὁ πτωχός, ὀρφανῷ σὺ ἦσθα βοηθῶν.
[35] Thou seest it; for thou dost observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into thy hands: the poor has been left to thee; thou wast a helper to the orphan.
[36] σύντριψον τὸν βραχίονα τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ καὶ πονηροῦ, ζητηθήσεται ἡ ἁμαρτία αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ δι’ αὐτήν·
[36] Break thou the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.
[37] βασιλεύσει κύριος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος, ἀπολεῖσθε, ἔθνη, ἐκ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ.
[37] The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish out his land.
[38] τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν τῶν πενήτων εἰσήκουσεν κύριος, τὴν ἑτοιμασίαν τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν προσέσχεν τὸ οὖς σου
[38] The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: thine ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart;
[39] κρῖναι ὀρφανῷ καὶ ταπεινῷ, ἵνα μὴ προσθῇ ἔτι τοῦ μεγαλαυχεῖν ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
[39] to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.
Ψαλμός 10
Psalm 10
Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ.
For the end, A Psalm of David,
ΕΠΙ τῷ Κυρίῳ πέποιθα· πῶς ἐρεῖτε τῇ ψυχῇ μου· μεταναστεύου ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη ὡς στρουθίον;
In the Lord I have put my trust: how will ye say to my soul, Flee to the mountains as a sparrow?
[2] ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐνέτειναν τόξον, ἡτοίμασαν βέλη εἰς φαρέτραν τοῦ κατατοξεῦσαι ἐν σκοτομήνῃ τοὺς εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ.
[2] For behold the sinners have bent their bow, they have prepared their arrows for the quiver, to shoot privily at the upright in heart.
[3] ὅτι ἃ σὺ κατηρτίσω, αὐτοὶ καθεῖλον· ὁ δὲ δίκαιος τί ἐποίησε;
[3] For they have pulled down what thou didst frame, but what has the righteous done?
[4] Κύριος ἐν ναῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ· Κύριος ἐν οὐρανῷ ὁ θρόνος αὐτοῦ. οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν πένητα ἀποβλέπουσι, τὰ βλέφαρα αὐτοῦ ἐξετάζει τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων.
