לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־שׁוֹשַׁנִּים לְדָוִד
For the Leader; upon Shoshannim. A Psalm of David.
Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀλλοιωθησομένων, τῶ Δαυίδ.
For the end, [a Psalm] of David, for alternate [strains].
2
הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי אֱלֹהִים כִּי בָאוּ מַיִם עַד־נָפֶשׁ
Save me, O G-d; for the waters are come in even unto the soul.
Σώσον με ὁ Θεὸς, ὅτι εἰσήλθοσαν ὕδατα ἕως ψυχῆς μου.
Save me, O God; for the waters have come in to my soul.
3
טָבַעְתִּי בִּיוֵן מְצוּלָה וְאֵין מָעֳמָד בָּאתִי בְמַעֲמַקֵּי־מַיִם וְשִׁבֹּלֶת שְׁטָפָתְנִי
I am sunk in deep mire, where there is no standing; I am come into deep waters, and the flood overwhelmeth me.
Ἐνεπάγην εἰς ἰλὺν βυθοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὑπόστασις· ἦλθον εἰς τὰ βάθη τῆς θαλάσσης, καὶ καταιγὶς κατεπόντισέ με.
I am stuck fast in deep mire, and there is no standing: I am come in to the depths of the sea, and a storm has overwhelmed me.
4
יָגַעְתִּי בְקָרְאִי נִחַר גְּרוֹנִי כָּלוּ עֵינַי מְיַחֵל לֵאלֹהָי
I am weary of my crying; my throat is dried; mine eyes fail while I wait for my G-d.
Ἐκοπίασα κράζων, ἐβραγχίασεν ὁ λάρυγξ μου, ἐξέλιπον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐλπίζειν με ἐπὶ τὸν Θεόν μου.
I am weary [of] crying, my throat has become hoarse; Mine eyes have failed by my waiting on my God.
5
רַבּוּ מִשַּׂעֲרוֹת רֹאשִׁי שֹׂנְאַי חִנָּם עָצְמוּ מַצְמִיתַי אֹיְבַי שֶׁקֶר אֲשֶׁר לֹא־גָזַלְתִּי אָז אָשִׁיב
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are many; should I restore that which I took not away?
Ἐπληθύνθησαν ὑπὲρ τὰς τρίχας τῆς κεφαλῆς μου οἱ μισοῦντές με δωρεάν· ἐκραταιώθησαν οἱ ἐχθροί μου οἱ ἐκδιώκοντές με ἀδίκως· ἃ οὐχ ἥρπασα, τότε ἀπετίννυον.
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: My enemies that persecute me unrighteously are strengthened: Then I restored that which I took not away.
6
אֱלֹהִים אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ לְאִוַּלְתִּי וְאַשְׁמוֹתַי מִמְּךָ לֹא־נִכְחָדוּ
O G-d, Thou knowest my folly; and my trespasses are not hid from Thee.
Ὁ Θεὸς σὺ ἔγνως τὴν ἀφροσύνην μου, καὶ αἱ πλημμελειαί μου ἀπὸ σοῦ οὐκ ἐκρύβησαν.
O God, thou knowest my foolishness; And my transgressions are not hidden from thee.
7
אַל־יֵבֹשׁוּ בִי קֹוֶיךָ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה צְבָאוֹת אַל־יִכָּלְמוּ בִי מְבַקְשֶׁיךָ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל
Let not them that wait for Thee be ashamed through me, O L-rd GOD of hosts; let not those that seek Thee be brought to confusion through me, O G-d of Israel.
Μὴ αἰσχυνθείησαν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ οἱ ὑπομένοντές σε Κύριε τῶν δυνάμεων, μὴ ἐντραπείησαν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ οἱ ζητοῦντές σε ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord of hosts, be ashamed on my account: let not them that seek thee, be ashamed on my account, O God of Israel.
8
כִּי־עָלֶיךָ נָשָׂאתִי חֶרְפָּה כִּסְּתָה כְלִמָּה פָנָי
Because for Thy sake I have borne reproach; confusion hath covered my face.
Ὅτι ἕνεκά σου ὑπήνεγκα ὀνειδισμὸν, ἐκάλυψεν ἐντροπὴ τὸ πρόσωπόν μου.
For I have suffered reproach for thy sake; Shame has covered my face.
9
מוּזָר הָיִיתִי לְאֶחָי וְנָכְרִי לִבְנֵי אִמִּי
I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
Ἀπηλλοτριωμένος ἐγενήθην τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς μου, καὶ ξένος τοῖς υἱοῖς τῆς μητρός μου·
I became strange to my brethren, And a stranger to my mother’s children.
10
כִּי־קִנְאַת בֵּיתְךָ אֲכָלָתְנִי וְחֶרְפּוֹת חוֹרְפֶיךָ נָפְלוּ עָלָי
Because zeal for Thy house hath eaten me up, and the reproaches of them that reproach Thee are fallen upon me.
ὅτι ὁ ζῆλος τοῦ οἴκου σου κατάφαγέ με, καὶ οἱ ὀνειδισμοὶ τῶν ὀνειδιζόντων σε ἐπέπεσον ἐπʼ ἐμέ.
For the zeal of thy house has eaten me up; And the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
11
וָאֶבְכֶּה בַצּוֹם נַפְשִׁי וַתְּהִי לַחֲרָפוֹת לִי
And I wept with my soul with fasting, and that became unto me a reproach.
Καὶ συνέκαμψα ἐν νηστείᾳ τὴν ψυχήν μου, καὶ ἐγενήθη εἰς ὀνειδισμοὺς ἐμοί.
And I bowed down my soul with fasting, And that was made my reproach.
12
וָאֶתְּנָה לְבוּשִׁי שָׂק וָאֱהִי לָהֶם לְמָשָׁל
I made sackcloth also my garment, and I became a byword unto them.
Καὶ ἐθέμην τὸ ἔνδυμά μου σάκκον, καὶ ἐγενόμην αὐτοῖς εἰς παραβολήν.
And I put on sackcloth for my covering; And I became a proverb to them.
13
יָשִׂיחוּ בִי יֹשְׁבֵי שָׁעַר וּנְגִינוֹת שׁוֹתֵי שֵׁכָר
They that sit in the gate talk of me; and I am the song of the drunkards.
Κατʼ ἐμοῦ ἠδολέσχουν οἱ καθήμενοι ἐν πύλῃ, καὶ εἰς ἐμὲ ἔψαλλον οἱ πίνοντες τὸν οἶνον.
They that sit in the gate talked against me, And they that drank wine sang against me.
14
וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּתִי־לְךָ יְהוָה עֵת רָצוֹן אֱלֹהִים בְּרָב־חַסְדֶּךָ עֲנֵנִי בֶּאֱמֶת יִשְׁעֶךָ
But as for me, let my prayer be unto Thee, O HaShem, in an acceptable time; O G-d, in the abundance of Thy mercy, answer me with the truth of Thy salvation.
Ἐγὼ δὲ τῇ προσευχῇ μου πρὸς σὲ Κύριε, καιρὸς εὐδοκίας ὁ Θεός· ἐν τῷ πλήθει τοῦ ἐλέους σου ἐπάκουσόν μου, ἐν ἀληθείᾳ τῆς σωτηρίας σου.
But I [will cry] to thee, O Lord, in my prayer; O God, it is a propitious time: in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, In the truth of thy salvation.
15
הַצִּילֵנִי מִטִּיט וְאַל־אֶטְבָּעָה אִנָּצְלָה מִשֹּׂנְאַי וּמִמַּעֲמַקֵּי־מָיִם
Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink; let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
Σῶσόν με ἀπὸ πηλοῦ, ἵνα μὴ ἐνπαγῶ· ῥυσθείην ἐκ τῶν μισούντων με, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ βάθους τῶν ὑδάτων.
Save me from the mire, that I stick not [in it]: Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and from the deep waters.
16
אַל־תִּשְׁטְפֵנִי שִׁבֹּלֶת מַיִם וְאַל־תִּבְלָעֵנִי מְצוּלָה וְאַל־תֶּאְטַר־עָלַי בְּאֵר פִּיהָ
Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
Μή με καταποντισάτω καταιγὶς ὕδατος, μηδὲ καταπιέτω με βυθὸς, μηδὲ συνσχέτω ἐπʼ ἐμὲ φρέαρ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ.
Let not the waterflood drown me, Nor let the deep swallow me up; Neither let the well shut its mouth upon me.
17
עֲנֵנִי יְהוָה כִּי־טוֹב חַסְדֶּךָ כְּרֹב רַחֲמֶיךָ פְּנֵה אֵלָי
Answer me, O HaShem, for Thy mercy is good; according to the multitude of Thy compassions turn Thou unto me.
Εἰσάκουσόν μου Κύριε, ὅτι χρηστὸν τὸ ἔλεός σου, κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν σου ἐπίβλεψον ἐπʼ ἐμε.
Hear me, O Lord; for thy mercy is good: According to the multitude of thy compassions look upon me.
18
וְאַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ מֵעַבְדֶּךָ כִּי־צַר־לִי מַהֵר עֲנֵנִי
And hide not Thy face from Thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily.
Καὶ μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπὸ τοῦ παιδός σου· ὅτι θλίβομαι, ταχὺ ἐπάκουσόν μου.
And turn not away thy face from thy servant; For I am afflicted: hear me speedily.
19
קָרְבָה אֶל־נַפְשִׁי גְאָלָהּ לְמַעַן אֹיְבַי פְּדֵנִי
Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it; ransom me because of mine enemies.
Πρόσχες τῇ ψυχῇ μου, καὶ λύτρωσαι αὐτὴν, ἕνεκα τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου ῥῦσαί με.
Draw nigh to my soul and redeem it: Deliver me because of mine enemies.
20
אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ חֶרְפָּתִי וּבָשְׁתִּי וּכְלִמָּתִי נֶגְדְּךָ כָּל־צוֹרְרָי
Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; mine adversaries are all before Thee.
Σὺ γὰρ γινώσκεις τὸν ὀνειδισμόν μου, καὶ τὴν αἰσχύνην μου, καὶ τὴν ἐντροπήν μου· ἐναντίον σου πάντες οἱ θλίβοντές με.
For thou knowest my reproach, And my shame, and my confusion; All that afflict me are before thee.
21
חֶרְפָּה שָׁבְרָה לִבִּי וָאָנוּשָׁה וָאֲקַוֶּה לָנוּד וָאַיִן וְלַמְנַחֲמִים וְלֹא מָצָאתִי
Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am sore sick; and I looked for some to show compassion, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
Ὀνειδισμὸν προσεδόκησεν ἡ ψυχή μου καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν· καὶ ὑπέμεινα συλλυπούμενον, καὶ οὐχ ὑπῆρξε, καὶ παρακαλοῦντα, καὶ οὐχ εὗρον.
My soul has waited for reproach and misery; And I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; And for one to comfort me, but I found none.
22
וַיִּתְּנוּ בְּבָרוּתִי רֹאשׁ וְלִצְמָאִי יַשְׁקוּנִי חֹמֶץ
Yea, they put poison into my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Καὶ ἔδωκαν εἰς τὸ βρῶμά μου χολὴν, καὶ εἰς τὴν δίψαν μου ἐπότισάν με ὄξος.
They gave [me] also gall for my food, And made me drink vinegar for my thirst.
23
יְהִי־שֻׁלְחָנָם לִפְנֵיהֶם לְפָח וְלִשְׁלוֹמִים לְמוֹקֵשׁ
Let their table before them become a snare; and when they are in peace, let it become a trap.
Γενηθήτω ἡ τράπεζα αὐτῶν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν εἰς παγίδα, καὶ εἰς ἀνταπόδοσιν, καὶ εἰς σκάνδαλον.
Let their table before them be for a snare, And for a recompense, and for a stumbling block.
24
תֶּחְשַׁכְנָה עֵינֵיהֶם מֵרְאוֹת וּמָתְנֵיהֶם תָּמִיד הַמְעַד
Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to totter.
Σκοτισθήτωσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτῶν τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν, καὶ τὸν νῶτον αὐτῶν διαπαντὸς σύγκαμψον.
Let their eyes be darkened that they should not see; And bow down their back continually.
25
שְׁפָךְ־עֲלֵיהֶם זַעְמֶךָ וַחֲרוֹן אַפְּךָ יַשִּׂיגֵם
Pour out Thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of Thine anger overtake them.
Ἔκχεον ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς τὴν ὀργήν σου, καὶ ὁ θυμὸς τῆς ὀργῆς σου καταλάβοι αὐτούς.
Pour out thy wrath upon them, And let the fury of thine anger take hold on them.
26
תְּהִי־טִירָתָם נְשַׁמָּה בְּאָהֳלֵיהֶם אַל־יְהִי יֹשֵׁב
Let their encampment be desolate; let none dwell in their tents.
Γενηθήτω ἡ ἔπαυλις αὐτῶν ἠρημωμένη, καὶ ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασιν αὐτῶν μὴ ἔστω ὁ κατοικῶν·
Let their habitation be made desolate; And let there be no inhabitant in their tents:
27
כִּי־אַתָּה אֲשֶׁר־הִכִּיתָ רָדָפוּ וְאֶל־מַכְאוֹב חֲלָלֶיךָ יְסַפֵּרוּ
For they persecute him whom Thou hast smitten; and they tell of the pain of those whom Thou hast wounded.
ὅτι ὃν σὺ ἐπάταξας, αὐτοὶ κατεδίωξαν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄλγος τῶν τραυμάτων μου προσέθηκαν.
Because they persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; And they have added to the grief of my wounds.
28
תְּנָה־עָוֺן עַל־עֲוֺנָם וְאַל־יָבֹאוּ בְּצִדְקָתֶךָ
Add iniquity unto their iniquity; and let them not come into Thy righteousness.
Πρόσθες ἀνομίαν ἐπὶ τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτῶν, καὶ μὴ εἰσελθέτωσαν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ σου.
Add iniquity to their iniquity; And let them not come into thy righteousness.
29
יִמָּחוּ מִסֵּפֶר חַיִּים וְעִם צַדִּיקִים אַל־יִכָּתֵבוּ
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
Ἐξαλειφθήτωσαν ἐκ βίβλου ζώντων, καὶ μετὰ δικαίων μὴ γραφήτωσαν.
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, And let them not be written with the righteous.
30
וַאֲנִי עָנִי וְכוֹאֵב יְשׁוּעָתְךָ אֱלֹהִים תְּשַׂגְּבֵנִי
But I am afflicted and in pain; let Thy salvation, O G-d, set me up on high.
Πτωχὸς καὶ ἀλγῶν εἰμι ἐγὼ, καὶ ἡ σωτηρία τοῦ προσώπου σου ἀντελάβετό μου.
I am poor and sorrowful; But the salvation of thy countenance has helped me.
31
אֲהַלְלָה שֵׁם־אֱלֹהִים בְּשִׁיר וַאֲגַדְּלֶנּוּ בְתוֹדָה
I will praise the name of G-d with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.
Αἰνέσω τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ μου μετʼ ᾠδῆς, μεγαλυνῶ αὐτὸν ἐν αἰνέσει·
I will praise the name of my God with a song, I will magnify him with praise;
32
וְתִיטַב לַיהוָה מִשּׁוֹר פָּר מַקְרִן מַפְרִיס
And it shall please HaShem better than a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
καὶ ἀρέσει τῷ Θεῷ ὑπὲρ μόσχον νέον κέρατα ἐκφέροντα καὶ ὁπλάς.
And [this] shall please God more than a young calf Having horns and hoofs.
33
רָאוּ עֲנָוִים יִשְׂמָחוּ דֹּרְשֵׁי אֱלֹהִים וִיחִי לְבַבְכֶם
The humble shall see it, and be glad; ye that seek after G-d, let your heart revive.
Ἰδέτωσαν πτωχοὶ καὶ εὐφρανθήτωσαν· ἐκζητήσατε τὸν Θεὸν, καὶ ζήσεσθε.
Let the poor see and rejoice; Seek the Lord diligently, and ye shall live.
34
כִּי־שֹׁמֵעַ אֶל־אֶבְיוֹנִים יְהוָה וְאֶת־אֲסִירָיו לֹא בָזָה
For HaShem hearkeneth unto the needy, and despiseth not His prisoners.
Ὅτι εἰσήκουσε τῶν πενήτων ὁ Κύριος, καὶ τοὺς πεπεδημένους αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐξουδένωσεν.
For the Lord hears the poor, And does not set at nought his fettered ones.
35
יְהַלְלוּהוּ שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ יַמִּים וְכָל־רֹמֵשׂ בָּם
Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
Αἰνεσάτωσαν αὐτὸν οἱ οὐρανοὶ καὶ ἡ γῆ, θάλασσα καὶ πάντα τὰ ἕρποντα ἐν αὐτοῖς.
Let the heavens and the earth praise him, The sea, and all things moving in them.
36
כִּי אֱלֹהִים יוֹשִׁיעַ צִיּוֹן וְיִבְנֶה עָרֵי יְהוּדָה וְיָשְׁבוּ שָׁם וִירֵשׁוּהָ
For G-d will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; and they shall abide there, and have it in possession.
Ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς σώσει τὴν Σιὼν, καὶ οἰκοδομηθήσονται αἱ πόλεις τῆς Ἰουδαίας, καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἐκεῖ, καὶ κληρονομήσουσιν αὐτήν.
For God will save Zion, And the cities of Judea shall be built; And [men] shall dwell there, and inherit it.
37
וְזֶרַע עֲבָדָיו יִנְחָלוּהָ וְאֹהֲבֵי שְׁמוֹ יִשְׁכְּנוּ־בָהּ
The seed also of His servants shall inherit it; and they that love His name shall dwell therein.
Καὶ τὸ σπέρμα τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ καθέξουσιν αὐτὴν, καὶ οἱ ἀγαπῶντες τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ κατασκηνώσουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ.
And the seed of his servants shall possess it, And they that love his name shall dwell therein.
