2 Samuel (2 Kings) 22
And David spoke to the Lord the words of this song, in the day in which the Lord rescued him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul.
ΚΑΙ ἐλάλησε Δαυὶδ τῷ Κυρίῳ τοὺς λόγους τῆς ᾠδῆς ταύτης ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐξείλετο αὐτὸν Κύριος ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς Σαούλ,
And the song was thus: O Lord, my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer,
καὶ εἶπεν· Κύριε, πέτρα μου καὶ ὀχύρωμά μου καὶ ἐξαιρούμενός με ἐμοί,
my God; he shall be to me my guard, I will trust in him: [he is] my protector, and the horn of my salvation, my helper, and my sure refuge; thou shalt save me from the unjust man.
ὁ Θεός μου φύλαξ μου ἔσται μοι, πεποιθὼς ἔσομαι ἐπ’ αὐτῷ, ὑπερασπιστής μου καὶ κέρας σωτηρίας μου, ἀντιλήπτωρ μου καὶ καταφυγή μου σωτηρίας μου, ἐξ ἀδίκου σώσεις με.
I will call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised, and I shall be saved from my enemies.
αἰνετὸν ἐπικαλέσομαι Κύριον καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου σωθήσομαι.
For the troubles of death compassed me, the floods of iniquity amazed me:
ὅτι περιέσχον με συντριμμοὶ θανάτου, χείμαρροι ἀνομίας ἐθάμβησάν με·
the pangs of death surrounded me, the agonies of death prevented me.
ὠδῖνες θανάτου ἐκύκλωσάν με, προέφθασάν με σκληρότητες θανάτου.
When I am afflicted I will call upon the Lord, and will cry to my God, and he shall hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry shalt come into his ears.
ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαί με ἐπικαλέσομαι τὸν Κύριον καὶ πρὸς τὸν Θεόν μου βοήσομαι· καὶ ἐπακούσεται ἐκ ναοῦ αὐτοῦ φωνῆς μου, καὶ ἡ κραυγή μου ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν αὐτοῦ.
And the earth was troubled and quaked, and the foundations of heaven were confounded and torn asunder, because the Lord was wroth with them.
καὶ ἐταράχθη καὶ ἐσείσθη ἡ γῆ, καὶ τὰ θεμέλια τοῦ οὐρανοῦ συνεταράχθησαν καὶ ἐσπαράχθησαν, ὅτι ἐθυμώθη Κύριος αὐτοῖς.
There went up a smoke in his wrath, and fire out of his mouth devours: coals were kindled at it.
ἀνέβη καπνὸς ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πῦρ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ κατέδεται, ἄνθρακες ἐξεκαύθησαν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ.
And he bowed the heavens, and came down, and [there was] darkness under his feet.
καὶ ἔκλινεν οὐρανοὺς καὶ κατέβη, καὶ γνόφος ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ.
And he rode upon the cherubs and did fly, and was seen upon the wings of the wind.
καὶ ἐπεκάθισεν ἐπὶ Χερουβὶμ καὶ ἐπετάσθη καὶ ὤφθη ἐπὶ πτερύγων ἀνέμου.
And he made darkness his hiding-place; his tabernacle round about him was the darkness of waters, he condensed it with the clouds of the air.
καὶ ἔθετο σκότος ἀποκρυφὴν αὐτοῦ κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ, ἡ σκηνὴ αὐτοῦ σκότος ὑδάτων· ἐπάχυνεν ἐν νεφέλαις ἀέρος.
At the brightness before him coals of fire were kindled.
ἀπὸ τοῦ φέγγους ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ἐξεκαύθησαν ἄνθρακες πυρός.
The Lord thundered out of heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.
ἐβρόντησεν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ Κύριος, καὶ ὁ ὕψιστος ἔδωκε φωνὴν αὐτοῦ
And he sent forth arrows, and scattered them, and he flashed lightning, and dismayed them.
καὶ ἀπέστειλε βέλη καὶ ἐσκόρπισεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἤστραψεν ἀστραπὴν καὶ ἐξέστησεν αὐτούς.
And the channels of the sea were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of his anger.
καὶ ὤφθησαν ἀφέσεις θαλάσσης, καὶ ἀπεκαλύφθη θεμέλια τῆς οἰκουμένης ἐν τῇ ἐπιτιμήσει Κυρίου, ἀπὸ πνοῆς πνεύματος θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ.
He sent from above and took me; he drew me out of many waters.
ἀπέστειλεν ἐξ ὕψους καὶ ἔλαβέ με, εἵλκυσέ με ἐξ ὑδάτων πολλῶν·
He delivered me from my strong enemies, from them that hated me, for they were stronger than I.
ἐρρύσατό με ἐξ ἐχθρῶν μου ἰσχύος, ἐκ τῶν μισούντων με, ὅτι ἐκραταιώθησαν ὑπὲρ ἐμέ.
The days of my affliction prevented me; but the Lord was my stay.
προέφθασάν με ἡμέραι θλίψεώς μου καὶ ἐγένετο Κύριος ἐπιστήριγμά μου
And he brought me into a wide place, and rescued me, because he delighted in me.
καὶ ἐξήγαγέ με εἰς πλατυσμὸν καὶ ἐξείλετό με, ὅτι ηὐδόκησεν ἐν ἐμοί.
And the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness; even according to the purity of my hands did he recompense me.
καὶ ἀνταπέδωκέ μοι Κύριος κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου, καὶ κατὰ τὴν καθαριότητα τῶν χειρῶν μου ἀνταπέδωκέ μοι.
Because, I kept the ways of the Lord, and did not wickedly depart from my God.
ὅτι ἐφύλαξα ὁδοὺς Κυρίου καὶ οὐκ ἠσέβησα ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ μου,
For all his judgments and his ordinances [were] before me: I departed not from them.
ὅτι πάντα τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ κατεναντίον μου, καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἀπέστην ἀπ’ αὐτῶν.
And I shall be blameless before him, and will keep myself from my iniquity.
καὶ ἔσομαι ἄμωμος αὐτῷ καὶ προφυλάξομαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας μου.
And the Lord will recompense me according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hands in his eye-sight.
καὶ ἀποδώσει μοι Κύριος κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου καὶ κατὰ τὴν καθαριότητα τῶν χειρῶν μου ἐνώπιον τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ.
With the holy thou wilt be holy, and with the perfect man thou will be perfect,
μετὰ ὁσίου ὁσιωθήσῃ καὶ μετὰ ἀνδρὸς τελείου τελειωθήσῃ
and with the excellent thou wilt be excellent, and with the froward thou will be froward.
καὶ μετὰ ἐκλεκτοῦ ἐκλεκτὸς ἔσῃ καὶ μετὰ στρεβλοῦ στρεβλωθήσῃ.
And thou wilt save the poor people, and wilt bring down the eyes of the haughty.
καὶ τὸν λαὸν τὸν πτωχὸν σώσεις καὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐπὶ μετεώρων ταπεινώσεις.
For thou, Lord, [art] my lamp, and the Lord shall shine forth to me in my darkness.
ὅτι σὺ ὁ λύχνος μου, Κύριε, καὶ Κύριος ἐκλάμψει μοι τὸ σκότος μου.
For by thee shall I run [as] a girded man, and by my God shall I leap over a wall.
ὅτι ἐν σοὶ δραμοῦμαι μονόζωνος καὶ ἐν τῷ Θεῷ μου ὑπερβήσομαι τεῖχος.
As for the Mighty One, his way [is] blameless: the word of the Lord [is] strong [and] tried in the fire: he is a protector to all that put their trust in him.
ὁ ἰσχυρός, ἄμωμος ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτοῦ, τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου κραταιόν, πεπυρωμένον, ὑπερασπιστής ἐστι πᾶσι τοῖς πεποιθόσιν ἐπ’ αὐτόν.
Who [is] strong, but the Lord? and who will be a Creator except our God?
τίς ἰσχυρὸς πλὴν Κυρίου; καὶ τίς κτίστης ἔσται πλὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν;
[It is] the Mighty One who strengthens me with might, and has prepared my way without fault.
ὁ ἰσχυρὸς ὁ κραταιῶν με δυνάμει, καὶ ἐξετίναξεν ἄμωμον τὴν ὁδόν μου·
He makes my feet like hart’s feet, and sets me upon the high places.
τιθεὶς τοὺς πόδας μου ὡς ἐλάφων καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ὕψη ἱστῶν με·
He teaches my hands to war, and has broken a brazen bow by my arm.
διδάσκων χεῖράς μου εἰς πόλεμον καὶ κατάξας τόξον χαλκοῦν ἐν βραχίονί μου.
And thou hast given me the shield of my salvation, and thy propitious dealing has increased me,
καὶ ἔδωκάς μοι ὑπερασπισμὸν σωτηρίας μου, καὶ ἡ ὑπακοή σου ἐπλήθυνέ με
so as to make room under me for my going, and my legs did not totter.
εἰς πλατυσμὸν εἰς τὰ διαβήματά μου ὑποκάτω μου, καὶ οὐκ ἐσαλεύθησαν τὰ σκέλη μου.
I will pursue my enemies, and will utterly destroy them; and I will not turn again till I have consumed them.
διώξω ἐχθρούς μου καὶ ἀφανιῶ αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐκ ἀναστρέψω ἕως ἂν συντελέσω αὐτούς·
And I will crush them, and they shall not rise; and they shall fall under my feet.
καὶ θλάσω αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐκ ἀναστήσονται καὶ πεσοῦνται ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας μου.
And thou shalt strengthen me with power for the war; thou shalt cause them that rise up against me to bow down under me.
καὶ ἐνισχύσεις με δυνάμει εἰς πόλεμον, κάμψεις τοὺς ἐπιστανομένους μοι ὑποκάτω μου·
And thou hast caused mine enemies to flee before me, even them that hated me, and thou hast slain them.
καὶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἔδωκάς μοι νῶτον, τοὺς μισοῦντάς με, καὶ ἐθανάτωσας αὐτούς.
They shall cry, and there shall be no helper; to the Lord, but he hearkens not to them.
βοήσονται, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι βοηθός, πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ οὐκ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῶν.
And I ground them as the dust of the earth, I beat them small as the mire of the streets.
καὶ ἐλέανα αὐτοὺς ὡς χοῦν γῆς, ὡς πηλὸν ἐξόδων ἐλέπτυνα αὐτούς.
And thou shalt deliver me from the striving of the peoples, thou shalt keep me [to be] the head of the Gentiles: a people which I knew not served me.
καὶ ρύσῃ με ἐκ μάχης λαῶν, φυλάξεις με εἰς κεφαλὴν ἐθνῶν. λαός, ὃν οὐκ ἔγνω, ἐδούλευσάν μοι,
The strange children feigned [obedience] to me; they hearkened to me as soon as they heard.
υἱοὶ ἀλλότριοι ἐψεύσαντό μοι, εἰς ἀκοὴν ὠτίου ἤκουσάν μου·
The strange children shall be cast away, and shall be overthrown out of their hiding places.
υἱοὶ ἀλλότριοι ἀπορριφήσονται καὶ σφαλοῦσιν ἐκ τῶν συγκλεισμῶν αὐτῶν.
The Lord lives, and blessed [be] my guardian, and my God, my strong keeper, shall be exalted.
ζῇ Κύριος, καὶ εὐλογητὸς ὁ φύλαξ μου, καὶ ὑψωθήσεται ὁ Θεός μου, ὁ φύλαξ τῆς σωτηρίας μου.
The Lord who avenges me [is] strong, chastening the nations under me,
ἰσχυρὸς Κύριος ὁ διδοὺς ἐκδικήσεις ἐμοί, παιδεύων λαοὺς ὑποκάτω μου
and bringing me out from my enemies: and thou shalt set me on high from among those that rise up against me: thou shalt deliver me from the violent man.
καὶ ἐξάγων με ἐξ ἐχθρῶν μου, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐπεγειρομένων μοι ὑψώσεις με, ἐξ ἀνδρὸς ἀδικημάτων ρύσῃ με.
Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name.
διὰ τοῦτο ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι, Κύριε, ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ψαλῶ,
He magnifies the salvation of his king, and works mercy for his anointed, even for David and for his seed for ever.
μεγαλύνων τὰς σωτηρίας βασιλέως αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιῶν ἔλεος τῷ χριστῷ αὐτοῦ, τῷ Δαυὶδ καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος.
