Psalms, 90

1. The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.

1. Gr. Psalm 90 (Heb. 91) αἶνος ᾠδῆς τῷ Δαυιδ ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν βοηθείᾳ τοῦ ὑψίστου ἐν σκέπῃ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ αὐλισθήσεται

2. He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.

2. ἐρεῖ τῷ κυρίῳ ἀντιλήμπτωρ μου εἶ καὶ καταφυγή μου ὁ θεός μου ἐλπιῶ ἐπ’ αὐτόν

3. For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.

3. ὅτι αὐτὸς ῥύσεταί με ἐκ παγίδος θηρευτῶν καὶ ἀπὸ λόγου ταραχώδους

4. He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.

4. ἐν τοῖς μεταφρένοις αὐτοῦ ἐπισκιάσει σοι καὶ ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτοῦ ἐλπιεῖς ὅπλῳ κυκλώσει σε ἡ ἀλήθεια αὐτοῦ

5. His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.

5. οὐ φοβηθήσῃ ἀπὸ φόβου νυκτερινοῦ ἀπὸ βέλους πετομένου ἡμέρας

6. Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.

6. ἀπὸ πράγματος διαπορευομένου ἐν σκότει ἀπὸ συμπτώματος καὶ δαιμονίου μεσημβρινοῦ

7. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.

7. πεσεῖται ἐκ τοῦ κλίτους σου χιλιὰς καὶ μυριὰς ἐκ δεξιῶν σου πρὸς σὲ δὲ οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ

8. But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.

8. πλὴν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου κατανοήσεις καὶ ἀνταπόδοσιν ἁμαρτωλῶν ὄψῃ

9. Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.

9. ὅτι σύ κύριε ἡ ἐλπίς μου τὸν ὕψιστον ἔθου καταφυγήν σου

10. There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.

10. οὐ προσελεύσεται πρὸς σὲ κακά καὶ μάστιξ οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ τῷ σκηνώματί σου

11. For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.

11. ὅτι τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ ἐντελεῖται περὶ σοῦ τοῦ διαφυλάξαι σε ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς σου

12. In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

12. ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἀροῦσίν σε μήποτε προσκόψῃς πρὸς λίθον τὸν πόδα σου

13. Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.

13. ἐπ’ ἀσπίδα καὶ βασιλίσκον ἐπιβήσῃ καὶ καταπατήσεις λέοντα καὶ δράκοντα

14. Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.

14. ὅτι ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἤλπισεν καὶ ῥύσομαι αὐτόν σκεπάσω αὐτόν ὅτι ἔγνω τὸ ὄνομά μου

15. He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.

15. ἐπικαλέσεταί με καὶ εἰσακούσομαι αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ εἰμι ἐν θλίψει καὶ ἐξελοῦμαι καὶ δοξάσω αὐτόν

16. I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.

16. μακρότητα ἡμερῶν ἐμπλήσω αὐτὸν καὶ δείξω αὐτῷ τὸ σωτήριόν μου
