Psalms, 35

1. Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself.

1. Gr. Psalm 35 (Heb. 36) εἰς τὸ τέλος τῷ δούλῳ κυρίου τῷ Δαυιδ

2. The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin : there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2. φησὶν ὁ παράνομος τοῦ ἁμαρτάνειν ἐν ἑαυτῷ οὐκ ἔστιν φόβος θεοῦ ἀπέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ

3. For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.

3. ὅτι ἐδόλωσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ τοῦ εὑρεῖν τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ μισῆσαι

4. The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile : he would not understand that he might do well.

4. τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἀνομία καὶ δόλος οὐκ ἐβουλήθη συνιέναι τοῦ ἀγαθῦναι

5. He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good : but evil he hath not hated.

5. ἀνομίαν διελογίσατο ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης αὐτοῦ παρέστη πάσῃ ὁδῷ οὐκ ἀγαθῇ τῇ δὲ κακίᾳ οὐ προσώχθισεν

6. O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth, even to the clouds.

6. κύριε ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ τὸ ἔλεός σου καὶ ἡ ἀλήθειά σου ἕως τῶν νεφελῶν

7. Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord :

7. ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου ὡσεὶ ὄρη θεοῦ τὰ κρίματά σου ἄβυσσος πολλή ἀνθρώπους καὶ κτήνη σώσεις κύριε

8. O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.

8. ὡς ἐπλήθυνας τὸ ἔλεός σου ὁ θεός οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐν σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύγων σου ἐλπιοῦσιν

9. They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.

9. μεθυσθήσονται ἀπὸ πιότητος τοῦ οἴκου σου καὶ τὸν χειμάρρουν τῆς τρυφῆς σου ποτιεῖς αὐτούς

10. For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.

10. ὅτι παρὰ σοὶ πηγὴ ζωῆς ἐν τῷ φωτί σου ὀψόμεθα φῶς

11. Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.

11. παράτεινον τὸ ἔλεός σου τοῖς γινώσκουσίν σε καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου τοῖς εὐθέσι τῇ καρδίᾳ

12. Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.

12. μὴ ἐλθέτω μοι ποὺς ὑπερηφανίας καὶ χεὶρ ἁμαρτωλῶν μὴ σαλεύσαι με

13. There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.

13. ἐκεῖ ἔπεσον οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν ἐξώσθησαν καὶ οὐ μὴ δύνωνται στῆναι
