לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד מִזְמוֹר אֱלֹהֵי תְהִלָּתִי אַל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ

Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυίδ. Ὁ Θεὸς τὴν αἴνεσίν μου μὴ παρασιωπήσῃς,
For the end, a Psalm of David. O God, pass not over my praise in silence;
2
כִּי פִי רָשָׁע וּפִי־מִרְמָה עָלַי פָּתָחוּ דִּבְּרוּ אִתִּי לְשׁוֹן שָׁקֶר
For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me; they have spoken unto me with a lying tongue.
ὅτι στόμα ἁμαρτωλοῦ καὶ στόμα δολίου ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἠνοίχθη· ἐλάλησαν κατʼ ἐμοῦ γλώσσῃ δολίᾳ,
For the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the crafty [man] have been opened against me: They have spoken against me with a crafty tongue.
3
וְדִבְרֵי שִׂנְאָה סְבָבוּנִי וַיִּלָּחֲמוּנִי חִנָּם
They compassed me about also with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
καὶ λόγοις μίσους ἐκύκλωσάν με, καὶ ἐπολέμησάν με δωρέαν.
And they have compassed me with words of hatred; And fought against me without a cause.
4
תַּחַת־אַהֲבָתִי יִשְׂטְנוּנִי וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּה
In return for my love they are my adversaries; but I am all prayer.
Ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀγαπᾷν με, ἐνδιέβαλλόν με, ἐγὼ δὲ προσηυχόμην.
Instead of loving me, they falsely accused me: But I continued to pray.
5
וַיָּשִׂימוּ עָלַי רָעָה תַּחַת טוֹבָה וְשִׂנְאָה תַּחַת אַהֲבָתִי
And they have laid upon me evil for good, and hatred for my love:
Καὶ ἔθεντο κατʼ ἐμοῦ κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν, καὶ μῖσος ἀντὶ τῆς ἀγαπήσεώς μου.
And they rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
6
הַפְקֵד עָלָיו רָשָׁע וְשָׂטָן יַעֲמֹד עַל־יְמִינוֹ
'Set Thou a wicked man over him; and let an adversary stand at his right hand.
Κατάστησον ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἁμαρτωλὸν, καὶ διάβολος στήτω ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ.
Set thou a sinner against him; And let the devil stand at his right hand.
7
בְּהִשָּׁפְטוֹ יֵצֵא רָשָׁע וּתְפִלָּתוֹ תִּהְיֶה לַחֲטָאָה
When he is judged, let him go forth condemned; and let his prayer be turned into sin.
Ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαι αὐτὸν, ἐξέλθοι καταδεδικασμένος, καὶ ἡ προσευχὴ αὐτοῦ γενέσθω εἰς ἁμαρτίαν.

10
וְנוֹעַ יָנוּעוּ בָנָיו וְשִׁאֵלוּ וְדָרְשׁוּ מֵחָרְבוֹתֵיהֶם
Let his children be vagabonds, and beg; and let them seek their bread out of their desolate places.
Σαλευόμενοι μεταναστήτωσαν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπαιτησάτωσαν, ἐκβληθήτωσαν ἐκ τῶν οἰκοπέδων αὐτῶν.
Let his children wander without a dwelling place, and beg: Let them be cast out of their habitations.
11
יְנַקֵּשׁ נוֹשֶׁה לְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ וְיָבֹזּוּ זָרִים יְגִיעוֹ
Let the creditor distrain all that he hath; and let strangers make spoil of his labour.
Ἐξερευνησάτω δανειστὴς πάντα ὅσα ὑπάρχει αὐτῷ, καὶ διαρπασάτωσαν ἀλλότριοι τοὺς πόνους αὐτοῦ.
Let [his] creditor exact all that belongs to him: And let strangers spoil his labors.
12
אַל־יְהִי־לוֹ מֹשֵׁךְ חָסֶד וְאַל־יְהִי חוֹנֵן לִיתוֹמָיו
Let there be none to extend kindness unto him; neither let there be any to be gracious unto his fatherless children.

יִזָּכֵר עֲוֺן אֲבֹתָיו אֶל־יְהוָה וְחַטַּאת אִמּוֹ אַל־תִּמָּח
Let the iniquity of his fathers be brought to remembrance unto HaShem; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Ἀναμνησθείη ἡ ἀνομία τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ ἡ ἁμαρτία τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ μὴ ἐξαλειφθείη.
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord; And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

יִהְיוּ נֶגֶד־יְהוָה תָּמִיד וְיַכְרֵת מֵאֶרֶץ זִכְרָם
Let them be before HaShem continually, that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
Γενηθήτωσαν ἐναντίον Κυρίου διαπαντὸς, καὶ ἐξολοθρευθείη ἐκ γῆς τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν·
Let them be before the Lord continually; And let their memorial be blotted out from the earth.
16
יַעַן אֲשֶׁר לֹא זָכַר עֲשׂוֹת חָסֶד וַיִּרְדֹּף אִישׁ־עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן וְנִכְאֵה לֵבָב לְמוֹתֵת
Because that he remembered not to do kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, and the broken in heart he was ready to slay.

Because he remembered not to show mercy, But persecuted the needy and poor man, And [that] to slay him that was pricked in the heart.
17
וַיֶּאֱהַב קְלָלָה וַתְּבוֹאֵהוּ וְלֹא־חָפֵץ בִּבְרָכָה וַתִּרְחַק מִמֶּנּוּ
Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; and he delighted not in blessing, and it is far from him.
Καὶ ἠγάπησε κατάραν, καὶ ἥξει αὐτῷ, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν εὐλογίαν, καὶ μακρυνθήσεται ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.
He loved cursing also, and it shall come upon him; And he took not pleasure in blessing, so it shall be removed far from him.
18
וַיִּלְבַּשׁ קְלָלָה כְּמַדּוֹ וַתָּבֹא כַמַּיִם בְּקִרְבּוֹ וְכַשֶּׁמֶן בְּעַצְמוֹתָיו
He clothed himself also with cursing as with his raiment, and it is come into his inward parts like water, and like oil into his bones.
Καὶ ἐνεδύσατο κατάραν ὡς ἱμάτιον, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὡσεὶ ὕδωρ εἰς τὰ ἔγκατα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὡσεὶ ἔλαιον ἐν τοῖς ὀστέοις αὐτοῦ.
Yea, he put on cursing as a garment, And it is come as water into his bowels, And as oil into his bones.

תְּהִי־לוֹ כְּבֶגֶד יַעְטֶה וּלְמֵזַח תָּמִיד יַחְגְּרֶהָ
Let it be unto him as the garment which he putteth on, and for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually.'
Γενηθήτω αὐτῷ ὡς ἱμάτιον ὃ περιβάλλεται, καὶ ὡσεὶ ζώνη ἣν διαπαντὸς περιζώννυται.
Let it be to him as a garment which he puts on, And as a girdle with which he girds himself continually.
20
זֹאת פְּעֻלַּת שֹׂטְנַי מֵאֵת יְהוָה וְהַדֹּבְרִים רָע עַל־נַפְשִׁי
This would mine adversaries effect from HaShem, and they that speak evil against my soul.
Τοῦτο τὸ ἔργον τῶν ἐνδιαβαλλόντων με παρὰ Κυρίου, καὶ τῶν λαλούντων πονηρὰ κατὰ τῆς ψυχῆς μου.
This is the dealing of the Lord with those who falsely accuse me, And of them that speak evil against my soul.
21
וְאַתָּה יְהוִה אֲדֹנָי עֲשֵׂה־אִתִּי לְמַעַן שְׁמֶךָ כִּי־טוֹב חַסְדְּךָ הַצִּילֵנִי
But Thou, O GOD the L-rd, deal with me for Thy name's sake; because Thy mercy is good, deliver Thou me.
Καὶ σὺ Κύριε Κύριε ποίησον μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου, ὅτι χρηστὸν τὸ ἔλεός σου.
But thou, O Lord, Lord, deal [mercifully] with me, for thy name’s sake: For thy mercy is good.
22
כִּי־עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן אָנֹכִי וְלִבִּי חָלַל בְּקִרְבִּי
For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
Ῥῦσαί με ὅτι πτωχὸς καὶ πένης εἰμὶ ἐγὼ, καὶ ἡ καρδία μου τετάρακται ἐντός μου.
Deliver me, for I am poor and needy; And my heart is troubled within me.
23
כְּצֵל־כִּנְטוֹתוֹ נֶהֱלָכְתִּי נִנְעַרְתִּי כָּאַרְבֶּה
I am gone like the shadow when it lengtheneth; I am shaken off as the locust.
Ὡσεὶ σκιὰ ἐν τῷ ἐκκλῖναι αὐτὴν ἀντανῃρέθην, ἐξετινάχθην ὡσεὶ ἀκρίδες.
I am removed as a shadow in its going down: I am tossed up and down like locusts.
24
בִּרְכַּי כָּשְׁלוּ מִצּוֹם וּבְשָׂרִי כָּחַשׁ מִשָּׁמֶן
My knees totter through fasting; and my flesh is lean, and hath no fatness.
Τὰ γόνατά μου ἠσθένησαν ἀπὸ νηστείας, καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου ἠλλοιώθη διʼ ἔλαιον.
My knees are weakened through fasting, And my flesh is changed by reason of [the want of] oil.
25
וַאֲנִי הָיִיתִי חֶרְפָּה לָהֶם יִרְאוּנִי יְנִיעוּן רֹאשָׁם
I am become also a taunt unto them; when they see me, they shake their head.
Κᾀγὼ ἐγενήθην ὄνειδος αὐτοῖς· εἴδοσάν με, ἐσάλευσαν κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν.
I became also a reproach to them: [When] they saw me they shook their heads.
26
עָזְרֵנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי כְחַסְדֶּךָ
Help me, O HaShem my G-d; O save me according to Thy mercy;
Βοήθησόν μοι Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου, καὶ σῶσόν με κατὰ τὸ ἔλεός σου.
Help me, O Lord my God; And save me according to thy mercy.
27
וְיֵדְעוּ כִּי־יָדְךָ זֹּאת אַתָּה יְהוָה עֲשִׂיתָהּ
That they may know that this is Thy hand; that Thou, HaShem, hast done it.
Καὶ γνώτωσαν ὅτι ἡ χείρ σου αὕτη, καὶ σὺ Κύριε ἐποίησας αὐτήν.
And let them know that this is thy hand; And [that] thou, Lord, hast wrought it.
28
יְקַלְלוּ־הֵמָּה וְאַתָּה תְבָרֵךְ קָמוּ וַיֵּבֹשׁוּ וְעַבְדְּךָ יִשְׂמָח
Let them curse, but bless Thou; when they arise, they shall be put to shame, but Thy servant shall rejoice.
Καταράσονται αὐτοὶ, καὶ σὺ εὐλογήσεις· οἱ ἐπανιστάμενοί μοι αἰσχυνθήτωσαν, ὁ δὲ δοῦλός σου εὐφρανθήσεται.
Let them curse, but thou shalt bless: Let them that rise up against me be ashamed, But let thy servant rejoice.
29
יִלְבְּשׁוּ שׂוֹטְנַי כְּלִמָּה וְיַעֲטוּ כַמְעִיל בָּשְׁתָּם
Mine adversaries shall be clothed with confusion, and shall put on their own shame as a robe.
Ἐνδυσάσθωσαν οἱ ἐνδιαβάλλοντές με ἐντροπήν· καὶ περιβαλέσθωσαν ὡς διπλοΐδα αἰσχύνην αὐτῶν.
Let those that falsely accuse me be clothed with shame, And let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.
30
אוֹדֶה יְהוָה מְאֹד בְּפִי וּבְתוֹךְ רַבִּים אֲהַלְלֶנּוּ
I will give great thanks unto HaShem with my mouth; yea, I will praise Him among the multitude;
Ἐξομολογήσομαι τῷ Κυρίῳ σφόδρα ἐν τῷ στόματί μου, καὶ ἐν μέσῳ πολλῶν αἰνέσω αὐτόν·
I will give thanks to the Lord abundantly with my mouth; And in the midst of many I will praise him.
31
כִּי־יַעֲמֹד לִימִין אֶבְיוֹן לְהוֹשִׁיעַ מִשֹּׁפְטֵי נַפְשׁוֹ
Because He standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from them that judge his soul.
Ὅτι παρέστη ἐκ δεξιῶν πένητος, τοῦ σῶσαι ἐκ τῶν καταδιωκόντων τὴν ψυχήν μου.
For he stood on the right hand of the poor, To save [me] from them that persecute my soul.
