Psalm 118 [MT 119]

[Alleluia.] Blessed are the blameless in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.

᾿Αλληλούϊα. - ΜΑΚΑΡΙΟΙ οἱ ἄμωμοι ἐν ὁδῷ οἱ πορευόμενοι ἐν νόμῳ Κυρίου.

Blessed are they that search out his testimonies: they will diligently seek him with the whole heart.

μακάριοι οἱ ἐξερευνῶντες τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ· ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ ἐκζητήσουσιν αὐτόν.

For they that work iniquity have not walked in his ways.

οὐ γὰρ οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ ἐπορεύθησαν.

Thou hast commanded [us] diligently to keep thy precepts.

σὺ ἐνετείλω τὰς ἐντολάς σου τοῦ φυλάξασθαι σφόδρα.

O that my ways were directed to keep thine ordinances.

ὄφελον κατευθυνθείησαν αἱ ὁδοί μου τοῦ φυλάξασθαι τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect to all thy commandments.

τότε οὐ μὴ αἰσχυνθῶ ἐν τῷ με ἐπιβλέπειν ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς ἐντολάς σου.

I will give thee thanks with uprightness of heart, when I have learnt the judgments of thy righteousness.

ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι ἐν εὐθύτητι καρδίας ἐν τῷ μεμαθηκέναι με τὰ κρίματα τῆς δικαιοσύνης σου.

I will keep thine ordinances: O forsake me not greatly.

τὰ δικαιώματά σου φυλάξω· μή με ἐγκαταλίπῃς ἕως σφόδρα.

Wherewith shall a young man direct his way? by keeping thy words.

᾿Εν τίνι κατορθώσει νεώτερος τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ; ἐν τῷ φυλάξασθαι τοὺς λόγους σου.

With my whole heart have I diligently sought thee: cast me not away from thy commandments.

ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου ἐξεζήτησά σε· μὴ ἀπώσῃ με ἀπὸ τῶν ἐντολῶν σου.

I have hidden thine oracles in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.

ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου ἔκρυψα τὰ λόγιά σου, ὅπως ἂν μὴ ἁμάρτω σοι.

Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thine ordinances.

εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Κύριε· δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

ἐν τοῖς χείλεσί μου ἐξήγγειλα πάντα τὰ κρίματα τοῦ στόματός σου.

I have delighted in the way of thy testimonies, [as much] as in all riches.

ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τῶν μαρτυρίων σου ἐτέρφθην ὡς ἐπὶ παντὶ πλούτῳ.

I will meditate on thy commandments, and consider thy ways.

ἐν ταῖς ἐντολαῖς σου ἀδολεσχήσω καὶ κατανοήσω τὰς ὁδούς σου.

I will meditate on thine ordinances: I will not forget thy words.

ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμασί σου μελετήσω, οὐκ ἐπιλήσομαι τῶν λόγων σου.

Render a recompense to thy servant: [so] shall I live, and keep thy words.

᾿Ανταπόδος τῷ δούλῳ σου· ζήσομαι καὶ φυλάξω τοὺς λόγους σου.

Unveil thou mine eyes, and I shall perceive wondrous things of thy law.

ἀποκάλυψον τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου, καὶ κατανοήσω τὰ θαυμάσια ἐκ τοῦ νόμου σου.

I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.

πάροικος ἐγώ εἰμι ἐν τῇ γῇ· μὴ ἀποκρύψῃς ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ τὰς ἐντολάς σου.

My soul has longed exceedingly for thy judgments at all times.

ἐπεπόθησεν ἡ ψυχή μου τοῦ ἐπιθυμῆσαι τὰ κρίματά σου ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ.

Thou hast rebuked the proud: cursed are they that turn aside from thy commandments.

ἐπετίμησας ὑπερηφάνοις· ἐπικατάρατοι οἱ ἐκκλίνοντες ἀπὸ τῶν ἐντολῶν σου.

Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have sought out thy testimonies.

περίελε ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ ὄνειδος καὶ ἐξουδένωσιν, ὅτι τὰ μαρτύριά σου ἐξεζήτησα.

For princes sat and spoke against me: but thy servant was meditating on thine ordinances.

καὶ γὰρ ἐκάθισαν ἄρχοντες καὶ κατ᾿ ἐμοῦ κατελάλουν, ὁ δὲ δοῦλός σου ἠδολέσχει ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμασί σου.

For thy testimonies are my meditation, and thine ordinances are my counsellors.

καὶ γὰρ τὰ μαρτύριά σου μελέτη μού ἐστι, καὶ αἱ συμβουλίαι μου τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

My soul has cleaved to the ground; quicken thou me according to thy word.

᾿Εκολλήθη τῷ ἐδάφει ἡ ψυχή μου· ζῆσόν με κατὰ τὸν λόγον σου.

I declared my ways, and thou didst hear me: teach me thine ordinances.

τὰς ὁδούς μου ἐξήγγειλα, καὶ ἐπήκουσάς μου· δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

Instruct me in the way of thine ordinances; and I will meditate on thy wondrous works.

ὁδὸν δικαιωμάτων σου συνέτισόν με, καὶ ἀδολεσχήσω ἐν τοῖς θαυμασίοις σου.

My soul has slumbered for sorrow; strengthen thou me with thy words.

ἐνύσταξεν ἡ ψυχή μου ἀπὸ ἀκηδίας· βεβαίωσόν με ἐν τοῖς λόγοις σου.

Remove from me the way of iniquity; and be merciful to me by thy law.

ὁδὸν ἀδικίας ἀπόστησον ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ καὶ τῷ νόμῳ σου ἐλέησόν με.

I have chosen the way of truth; and have not forgotten thy judgments.

ὁδὸν ἀληθείας ᾑρετισάμην καὶ τὰ κρίματά σου οὐκ ἐπελαθόμην.

I have cleaved to thy testimonies, O Lord; put me not to shame.

ἐκολλήθην τοῖς μαρτυρίοις σου, Κύριε· μή με καταισχύνῃς.

I ran the way of thy commandments, when thou didst enlarge my heart.

ὁδὸν ἐντολῶν σου ἔδραμον, ὅταν ἐπλάτυνας τὴν καρδίαν μου.

Teach me, O Lord, the way of thine ordinances, and I will seek it out continually.

Νομοθέτησόν με, Κύριε, τὴν ὁδὸν τῶν δικαιωμάτων σου, καὶ ἐκζητήσω αὐτὴν διαπαντός.

Instruct me, and I will search out thy law, and will keep it with my whole heart.

συνέτισόν με, καὶ ἐξερευνήσω τὸν νόμον σου καὶ φυλάξω αὐτὸν ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου.

Guide me in the path of thy commandments; for I have delighted in it.

ὁδήγησόν με ἐν τῇ τρίβῳ τῶν ἐντολῶν σου, ὅτι αὐτὴν ἠθέλησα.

Incline mine heart to thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.

κλῖνον τὴν καρδίαν μου εἰς τὰ μαρτύριά σου καὶ μὴ εἰς πλεονεξίαν.

Turn away mine eyes that I may not behold vanity: quicken thou me in thy way.

ἀπόστρεψον τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου τοῦ μὴ ἰδεῖν ματαιότητα, ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ σου ζῆσόν με.

Confirm thine oracle to thy servant, that he may fear thee.

στῆσον τῷ δούλῳ σου τὸ λόγιόν σου εἰς τὸν φόβον σου.

Take away my reproach which I have feared: for thy judgments are good.

περίελε τὸν ὀνειδισμόν μου, ὃν ὑπώπτευσα· ὅτι τὰ κρίματά σου χρηστά.

Behold, I have desired thy commandments: quicken me in thy righteousness.

ἰδοὺ ἐπεθύμησα τὰς ἐντολάς σου· ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ σου ζῆσόν με.

And let thy mercy come upon me, O Lord; [even] thy salvation, according to thy word.

Καὶ ἔλθοι ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ τὸ ἔλεός σου, Κύριε, τὸ σωτήριόν σου κατὰ τὸν λόγον σου.

And [so] I shall render an answer to them that reproach me: for I have trusted in thy words.

καὶ ἀποκριθήσομαι τοῖς ὀνειδίζουσί μοι λόγον, ὅτι ἤλπισα ἐπὶ τοῖς λόγοις σου.

And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.

καὶ μὴ περιέλῃς ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου λόγον ἀληθείας ἕως σφόδρα, ὅτι ἐπὶ τοῖς κρίμασί σου ἐπήλπισα.

So shall I keep thy law continually, for ever and ever.

καὶ φυλάξω τὸν νόμον σου διαπαντός, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.

I walked also at large: for I sought out thy commandments.

καὶ ἐπορευόμην ἐν πλατυσμῷ, ὅτι τὰς ἐντολάς σου ἐξεζήτησα.

And I spoke of thy testimonies before kings, and was not ashamed.

καὶ ἐλάλουν ἐν τοῖς μαρτυρίοις σου ἐναντίον βασιλέων καὶ οὐκ ᾐσχυνόμην.

And I meditated on thy commandments, which I loved exceedingly.

καὶ ἐμελέτων ἐν ταῖς ἐντολαῖς σου, ἃς ἠγάπησα σφόδρα.

And I lifted up my hands to thy commandments which I loved; and I meditated in thine ordinances.

καὶ ἦρα τὰς χεῖράς μου πρὸς τὰς ἐντολάς σου ἃς ἠγάπησα, καὶ ἠδολέσχουν ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμασί σου.

Remember thy words to thy servant, wherein thou hast made me hope.

Μνήσθητι τῶν λόγων σου τῷ δούλῳ σου, ὧν ἐπήλπισάς με.

This has comforted me in mine affliction: for thine oracle has quickened me.

αὕτη με παρεκάλεσεν ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει μου, ὅτι τὸ λόγιόν σου ἔζησέ με.

The proud have transgressed exceedingly; but I swerved not from thy law.

ὑπερήφανοι παρηνόμουν ἕως σφόδρα, ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ νόμου σου οὐκ ἐξέκλινα.

I remembered thy judgment of old, O Lord; and was comforted.

ἐμνήσθην τῶν κριμάτων σου ἀπ᾿ αἰῶνος, Κύριε, καὶ παρεκλήθην.

Despair took hold upon me, because of the sinners who forsake thy law.

ἀθυμία κατέσχε με ἀπὸ ἁμαρτωλῶν τῶν ἐγκαταλιμπανόντων τὸν νόμον σου.

Thine ordinances were my songs in the place of my sojourning.

ψαλτὰ ἦσάν μοι τὰ δικαιώματά σου ἐν τόπῳ παροικίας μου.

I remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night, and kept thy law.

ἐμνήσθην ἐν νυκτὶ τοῦ ὀνόματός σου, Κύριε, καὶ ἐφύλαξα τὸν νόμον σου.

This I had, because I diligently sought thine ordinances.

αὕτη ἐγενήθη μοι, ὅτι τὰ δικαιώματά σου ἐξεζήτησα.

Thou art my portion, O Lord: I said that I would keep thy law.

Μερίς μου εἶ, Κύριε, εἶπα τοῦ φυλάξασθαι τὸν νόμον σου.

I besought thy favour with my whole heart: have mercy upon me according to thy word.

ἐδεήθην τοῦ προσώπου σου ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου· ἐλέησόν με κατὰ τὸ λόγιόν σου.

I thought on thy ways, and turned my feet to thy testimonies.

διελογισάμην τὰς ὁδούς σου καὶ ἐπέστρεψα τοὺς πόδας μου εἰς τὰ μαρτύριά σου.

I prepared myself, (and was not terrified,) to keep thy commandments.

ἡτοιμάσθην καὶ οὐκ ἐταράχθην τοῦ φυλάξασθαι τὰς ἐντολάς σου.

The snares of sinners entangled me: but I forgot not thy law.

σχοινία ἁμαρτωλῶν περιεπλάκησάν μοι, καὶ τοῦ νόμου σου οὐκ ἐπελαθόμην.

At midnight I arose, to give thanks to thee for the judgments of thy righteousness.

μεσονύκτιον ἐξηγειρόμην τοῦ ἐξομολογεῖσθαί σοι ἐπὶ τὰ κρίματα τῆς δικαιοσύνης σου.

I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy commandments.

μέτοχος ἐγώ εἰμι πάντων τῶν φοβουμένων σε καὶ τῶν φυλασσόντων τὰς ἐντολάς σου.

O Lord, the earth is full of thy mercy: teach me thine ordinances.

τοῦ ἐλέους σου, Κύριε, πλήρης ἡ γῆ· τὰ δικαιώματά σου δίδαξόν με.

Thou hast wrought kindly with thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word.

Χρηστότητα ἐποίησας μετὰ τοῦ δούλου σου, Κύριε, κατὰ τὸν λόγον σου.

Teach me kindness, and instruction, and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.

χρηστότητα καὶ παιδείαν καὶ γνῶσιν δίδαξόν με, ὅτι ταῖς ἐντολαῖς σου ἐπίστευσα.

Before I was afflicted, I transgressed; therefore have I kept thy word.

πρὸ τοῦ με ταπεινωθῆναι ἐγὼ ἐπλημμέλησα, διὰ τοῦτο τὸ λόγιόν σου ἐφύλαξα.

Good art thou, O Lord; therefore in thy goodness teach me thine ordinances.

χρηστὸς εἶ σύ, Κύριε, καὶ ἐν τῇ χρηστότητί σου δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

The injustice of the proud has been multiplied against me: but I will search out thy commandments with all my heart.

ἐπληθύνθη ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ἀδικία ὑπερηφάνων, ἐγὼ δὲ ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου ἐξερευνήσω τὰς ἐντολάς σου.

Their heart has been curdled like milk; but I have meditated on thy law.

ἐτυρώθη ὡς γάλα ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν, ἐγὼ δὲ τὸν νόμον σου ἐμελέτησα.

[It is] good for me that thou hast afflicted me; that I might learn thine ordinances.

ἀγαθόν μοι ὅτι ἐταπείνωσάς με, ὅπως ἂν μάθω τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

The law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver.

ἀγαθός μοι ὁ νόμος τοῦ στόματός σου ὑπὲρ χιλιάδας χρυσίου καὶ ἀργυρίου.

Thy hands have made me, and fashioned me: instruct me, that I may learn thy commandments.

Αἱ χεῖρές σου ἐποίησάν με καὶ ἔπλασάν με· συνέτισόν με καὶ μαθήσομαι τὰς ἐντολάς σου.

They that fear thee will see me and rejoice: for I have hoped in thy words.

οἱ φοβούμενοί σε ὄψονταί με καὶ εὐφρανθήσονται, ὅτι εἰς τοὺς λόγους σου ἐπήλπισα.

I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are righteousness, and [that] thou in truthfulness hast afflicted me.

ἔγνων, Κύριε, ὅτι δικαιοσύνη τὰ κρίματά σου, καὶ ἀληθείᾳ ἐταπείνωσάς με.

Let, I pray thee, thy mercy be to comfort me, according to thy word to thy servant.

γενηθήτω δὴ τὸ ἔλεός σου τοῦ παρακαλέσαι με κατὰ τὸ λόγιόν σου τῷ δούλῳ σου.

Let thy compassions come to me, that I may live: for thy law is my meditation.

ἐλθέτωσάν μοι οἱ οἰκτιρμοί σου, καὶ ζήσομαι, ὅτι ὁ νόμος σου μελέτη μού ἐστιν.

Let the proud be ashamed; for they transgressed against me unjustly: but I will meditate in thy commandments.

αἰσχυνθήτωσαν ὑπερήφανοι, ὅτι ἀδίκως ἠνόμησαν εἰς ἐμέ· ἐγὼ δὲ ἀδολεσχήσω ἐν ταῖς ἐντολαῖς σου.

Let those that fear thee, and those that know thy testimonies, turn to me.

ἐπιστρεψάτωσάν με οἱ φοβούμενοί σε καὶ οἱ γινώσκοντες τὰ μαρτύριά σου.

Let mine heart be blameless in thine ordinances, that I may not be ashamed.

γενηθήτω ἡ καρδία μου ἄμωμος ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμασί σου, ὅπως ἂν μὴ αἰσχυνθῶ.

My soul faints for thy salvation: I have hoped in thy words.

᾿Εκλείπει εἰς τὸ σωτήριόν σου ἡ ψυχή μου, εἰς τοὺς λόγους σου ἐπήλπισα.

Mine eyes failed [in waiting] for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

ἐξέλιπον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου εἰς τὸ λόγιόν σου λέγοντες· πότε παρακαλέσεις με;

For I am become as a bottle in the frost: [yet] I have not forgotten thine ordinances.

ὅτι ἐγενήθην ὡς ἀσκὸς ἐν πάχνῃ· τὰ δικαιώματά σου οὐκ ἐπελαθόμην.

How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment for me on them that persecute me?

πόσαι εἰσὶν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ δούλου σου; πότε ποιήσεις μοι ἐκ τῶν καταδιωκόντων με κρίσιν;

Transgressors told me [idle tales]; but not according to thy law, O Lord.

διηγήσαντό μοι παράνομοι ἀδολεσχίας, ἀλλ᾿ οὐχ ὡς ὁ νόμος σου, Κύριε.

All thy commandments are truth; they persecuted me unjustly; help thou me.

πᾶσαι αἱ ἐντολαί σου ἀλήθεια· ἀδίκως κατεδίωξάν με, βοήθησόν μοι.

They nearly made an end of me in the earth; but I forsook not thy commandments.

παρὰ βραχὺ συνετέλεσάν με ἐν τῇ γῇ, ἐγὼ δὲ οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπον τὰς ἐντολάς σου.

Quicken me according to thy mercy; so shall I keep the testimonies of thy mouth.

κατὰ τὸ ἔλεός σου ζῆσόν με, καὶ φυλάξω τὰ μαρτύρια τοῦ στόματός σου.

Thy word, O Lord, abides in heaven for ever.

Εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, Κύριε, ὁ λόγος σου διαμένει ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ.

Thy truth [endures] to all generations; thou hast founded the earth, and it abides.

εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεὰν ἡ ἀλήθειά σου· ἐθεμελίωσας τὴν γῆν καὶ διαμένει.

The day continues by thy arrangement; for all things are thy servants.

τῇ διατάξει σου διαμένει ἡμέρα, ὅτι τὰ σύμπαντα δοῦλα σά.

Were it not that thy law is my meditation, then I should have perished in mine affliction.

εἰ μὴ ὅτι ὁ νόμος σου μελέτη μού ἐστι, τότε ἂν ἀπωλόμην ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει μου.

I will never forget thine ordinances; for with them thou hast quickened me.

εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα οὐ μὴ ἐπιλάθωμαι τῶν δικαιωμάτων σου, ὅτι ἐν αὐτοῖς ἔζησάς με.

I am thine, save me; for I have sought out thine ordinances.

σός εἰμι ἐγώ, σῶσόν με, ὅτι τὰ δικαιώματά σου ἐξεζήτησα.

Sinners laid wait for me to destroy me; [but] I understood thy testimonies.

ἐμὲ ὑπέμειναν ἁμαρτωλοὶ τοῦ ἀπολέσαι με· τὰ μαρτύριά σου συνῆκα.

I have seen an end of all perfection; [but] thy commandment is very broad.

πάσης συντελείας εἶδον πέρας· πλατεῖα ἡ ἐντολή σου σφόδρα.

How I have loved thy law, O Lord! it is my meditation all the day.

῾Ως ἠγάπησα τὸν νόμον σου, Κύριε· ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν μελέτη μού ἐστιν.

Thou hast made me wiser than mine enemies [in] thy commandment; for it is mine for ever.

ὑπὲρ τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἐσόφισάς με τὴν ἐντολήν σου, ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἐμή ἐστιν.

I have more understanding than all my teachers; for thy testimonies are my meditation.

ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς διδάσκοντάς με συνῆκα, ὅτι τὰ μαρτύριά σου μελέτη μού ἐστιν.

I understand more that the aged; because I have sought out thy commandments.

ὑπὲρ πρεσβυτέρους συνῆκα, ὅτι τὰς ἐντολάς σου ἐξεζήτησα.

I have kept back my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy words.

ἐκ πάσης ὁδοῦ πονηρᾶς ἐκώλυσα τοὺς πόδας μου, ὅπως ἂν φυλάξω τοὺς λόγους σου.

I have not declined from thy judgments; for thou hast instructed me.

ἀπὸ τῶν κριμάτων σου οὐκ ἐξέκλινα, ὅτι σὺ ἐνομοθέτησάς με.

How sweet are thine oracles to my throat! more so than honey to my mouth!

ὡς γλυκέα τῷ λάρυγγί μου τὰ λόγιά σου, ὑπὲρ μέλι τῷ στόματί μου.

I gain understanding by thy commandments: therefore I have hated every way of unrighteousness.

ἀπὸ τῶν ἐντολῶν σου συνῆκα· διὰ τοῦτο ἐμίσησα πᾶσαν ὁδὸν ἀδικίας.

Thy law is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.

Λύχνος τοῖς ποσί μου ὁ νόμος σου καὶ φῶς ταῖς τρίβοις μου.

I have sworn and determined to keep the judgments of thy righteousness.

ὤμοσα καὶ ἔστησα τοῦ φυλάξασθαι τὰ κρίματα τῆς δικαιοσύνης σου.

I have been very greatly afflicted, O Lord: quicken me, according to thy word.

ἐταπεινώθην ἕως σφόδρα· Κύριε, ζῆσόν με κατὰ τὸν λόγον σου.

Accept, I pray thee, O Lord, the freewill-offerings of my mouth, and teach me thy judgments.

τὰ ἑκούσια τοῦ στόματός μου εὐδόκησον δή, Κύριε, καὶ τὰ κρίματά σου δίδαξόν με.

My soul is continually in thine hands; and I have not forgotten thy law.

ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν ταῖς χερσί σου διαπαντός, καὶ τοῦ νόμου σου οὐκ ἐπελαθόμην.

Sinners spread a snare for me; but I erred not from thy commandments.

ἔθεντο ἁμαρτωλοὶ παγίδα μοι, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐντολῶν σου οὐκ ἐπλανήθην.

I have inherited thy testimonies for ever; for they are the joy of my heart.

ἐκληρονόμησα τὰ μαρτύριά σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ὅτι ἀγαλλίαμα τῆς καρδίας μού εἰσιν.

I have inclined my heart to perform thine ordinances for ever, in return [for thy mercies].

ἔκλινα τὴν καρδίαν μου τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὰ δικαιώματά σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα δι᾿ ἀντάμειψιν.

I have hated transgressors; but I have loved thy law.

Παρανόμους ἐμίσησα, τὸν δὲ νόμον σου ἠγάπησα.

Thou art my helper and my supporter; I have hoped in thy words.

βοηθός μου, καὶ ἀντιλήπτωρ μου εἶ σύ· εἰς τοὺς λόγους σου ἐπήλπισα.

Depart from me, ye evil-doers; for I will search out the commandments of my God.

ἐκκλίνατε ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ, πονηρευόμενοι, καὶ ἐξερευνήσω τὰς ἐντολὰς τοῦ Θεοῦ μου.

Uphold me according to thy word, and quicken me; and make me not ashamed of my expectation.

ἀντιλαβοῦ μου κατὰ τὸ λόγιόν σου, καὶ ζῆσόν με, καὶ μὴ καταισχύνῃς με ἀπὸ τῆς προσδοκίας μου.

Help me, and I shall be saved; and I will meditate in thine ordinances continually.

βοήθησόν μοι, καὶ σωθήσομαι καὶ μελετήσω ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμασί σου διαπαντός.

Thou hast brought to nought all that depart from thine ordinances; for their inward thought is unrighteous.

ἐξουδένωσας πάντας τοὺς ἀποστατοῦντας ἀπὸ τῶν δικαιωμάτων σου, ὅτι ἄδικον τὸ ἐνθύμημα αὐτῶν.

I have reckoned all the sinners of the earth as transgressors; therefore have I loved thy testimonies.

παραβαίνοντας ἐλογισάμην πάντας τοὺς ἁμαρτωλοὺς τῆς γῆς· διὰ τοῦτο ἠγάπησα τὰ μαρτύριά σου.

Penetrate my flesh with thy fear; for I am afraid of thy judgments.

καθήλωσον ἐκ τοῦ φόβου σου τὰς σάρκας μου· ἀπὸ γὰρ τῶν κριμάτων σου ἐφοβήθην.

I have done judgment and justice; deliver me not up to them that injure me.

᾿Εποίησα κρῖμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην· μὴ παραδῷς με τοῖς ἀδικοῦσί με.

Receive thy servant for good: let not the proud accuse me falsely.

ἔκδεξαι τὸν δοῦλόν σου εἰς ἀγαθόν· μὴ συκοφαντησάτωσάν με ὑπερήφανοι.

Mine eyes have failed for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.

οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἐξέλιπον εἰς τὸ σωτήριόν σου καὶ εἰς τὸ λόγιον τῆς δικαιοσύνης σου.

Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy, and teach me thine ordinances.

ποίησον μετὰ τοῦ δούλου σου κατὰ τὸ ἔλεός σου καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά σου δίδαξόν με.

I am thy servant; instruct me, and I shall know thy testimonies.

δοῦλός σού εἰμι ἐγώ· συνέτισόν με, καὶ γνώσομαι τὰ μαρτύριά σου.

[It is] time for the Lord to work: they have utterly broken thy law.

καιρὸς τοῦ ποιῆσαι τῷ Κυρίῳ· διεσκέδασαν τὸν νόμον σου.

Therefore have I loved thy commandments more than gold, or the topaz.

διὰ τοῦτο ἠγάπησα τὰς ἐντολάς σου ὑπὲρ χρυσίον καὶ τοπάζιον.

Therefore I directed myself [according] to all thy commandments: I have hated every unjust way.

διὰ τοῦτο πρὸς πάσας τὰς ἐντολάς σου κατωρθούμην, πᾶσαν ὁδὸν ἄδικον ἐμίσησα.

Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore my soul has sought them out.

Θαυμαστὰ τὰ μαρτύριά σου· διὰ τοῦτο ἐξηρεύνησεν αὐτὰ ἡ ψυχή μου.

The manifestation of thy words will enlighten, and instruct the simple.

ἡ δήλωσις τῶν λόγων σου φωτιεῖ καὶ συνετιεῖ νηπίους.

I opened my mouth, and drew breath: for I earnestly longed after thy commandments.

τὸ στόμα μου ἤνοιξα καὶ εἵλκυσα πνεῦμα, ὅτι τὰς ἐντολάς σου ἐπεπόθουν.

Look upon me and have mercy upon me, after the manner of them that love thy name.

᾿Επίβλεψον ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ καὶ ἐλέησόν με κατὰ τὸ κρίμα τῶν ἀγαπώντων τὸ ὄνομά σου.

Order my steps according to thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

τὰ διαβήματά μου κατεύθυνον κατὰ τὸ λόγιόν σου, καὶ μὴ κατακυριευσάτω μου πᾶσα ἀνομία.

Deliver me from the false accusation of men: so will I keep thy commandments.

λύτρωσαί με ἀπὸ συκοφαντίας ἀνθρώπων, καὶ φυλάξω τὰς ἐντολάς σου.

Cause thy face to shine upon thy servant: and teach me thine ordinances.

τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπίφανον ἐπὶ τὸν δοῦλόν σου καὶ δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

Mine eyes have been bathed in streams of water, because I kept not thy law.

διεξόδους ὑδάτων κατέδυσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου, ἐπεὶ οὐκ ἐφύλαξα τὸν νόμον σου.

Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are thy judgments.

Δίκαιος εἶ, Κύριε, καὶ εὐθεῖαι αἱ κρίσεις σου.

Thou hast commanded righteousness and perfect truth, [as] thy testimonies.

ἐνετείλω δικαιοσύνην τὰ μαρτύριά σου καὶ ἀλήθειαν σφόδρα.

Thy zeal has quite wasted me: because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.

ἐξέτηξέ με ὁ ζῆλός σου, ὅτι ἐπελάθοντο τῶν λόγων σου οἱ ἐχθροί μου.

Thy word [has been] very fully tried; and thy servant loves it.

πεπυρωμένον τὸ λόγιόν σου σφόδρα, καὶ ὁ δοῦλός σου ἠγάπησεν αὐτό.

I am young and despised: [yet] I have not forgotten thine ordinances.

νεώτερος ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ ἐξουδενωμένος· τὰ δικαιώματά σου οὐκ ἐπελαθόμην.

Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is truth.

ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου δικαιοσύνη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ ὁ νόμος σου ἀλήθεια.

Afflictions and distresses found me: [but] thy commandments [were] my meditation.

θλίψεις καὶ ἀνάγκαι εὕροσάν με· αἱ ἐντολαί σου μελέτη μου.

Thy testimonies [are] an everlasting righteousness: instruct me, and I shall live.

δικαιοσύνη τὰ μαρτύριά σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· συνέτισόν με, καὶ ζήσομαι

I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord: I will search out thine ordinances.

᾿Εκέκραξα ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου· ἐπάκουσόν μου, Κύριε, τὰ δικαιώματά σου ἐκζητήσω.

I cried to thee; save me, and I will keep thy testimonies.

ἐκέκραξά σοι· σῶσόν με, καὶ φυλάξω τὰ μαρτύριά σου.

I arose before the dawn, and cried: I hoped in thy words.

προέφθασα ἐν ἀωρίᾳ καὶ ἐκέκραξα, εἰς τοὺς λόγους σου ἐπήλπισα.

Mine eyes prevented the dawn, that I might meditate on thine oracles.

προέφθασαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου πρὸς ὄρθρον τοῦ μελετᾶν τὰ λόγιά σου.

Hear my voice, O Lord, according to thy mercy; quicken me according to thy judgment.

τῆς φωνῆς μου ἄκουσον, Κύριε, κατὰ τὸ ἔλεός σου, κατὰ τὸ κρῖμά σου ζῆσόν με.

They have drawn nigh who persecuted me unlawfully; and they are far removed from thy law.

προσήγγισαν οἱ καταδιώκοντές με ἀνομίᾳ, ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ νόμου σου ἐμακρύνθησαν.

Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy ways are truth.

ἐγγὺς εἶ, Κύριε, καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ ὁδοί σου ἀλήθεια.

I have known of old concerning thy testimonies, that thou hast founded them for ever.

κατ᾿ ἀρχὰς ἔγνων ἐκ τῶν μαρτυρίων σου, ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἐθεμελίωσας αὐτά.

Look upon mine affliction, and rescue me; for I have not forgotten thy law.

Ἴδε τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου καὶ ἐξελοῦ με, ὅτι τοῦ νόμου σου οὐκ ἐπελαθόμην.

Plead my cause, and ransom me: quicken me because of thy word.

κρῖνον τὴν κρίσιν μου καὶ λύτρωσαί με· διὰ τὸν λόγον σου ζῆσόν με.

Salvation is far from sinners: for they have not searched out thine ordinances.

μακρὰν ἀπὸ ἁμαρτωλῶν σωτηρία, ὅτι τὰ δικαιώματά σου οὐκ ἐξεζήτησαν.

Thy mercies, O Lord, are many: quicken me according to thy judgment.

οἱ οἰκτιρμοί σου πολλοί, Κύριε· κατὰ τὸ κρῖμά σου ζῆσόν με.

Many are they that persecute me and oppress me: [but] I have not declined from thy testimonies.

πολλοὶ οἱ ἐκδιώκοντές με καὶ θλίβοντές με· ἐκ τῶν μαρτυρίων σου οὐκ ἐξέκλινα.

I beheld men acting foolishly, and I pined away; for they kept not thine oracles.

εἶδον ἀσυνετοῦντας καὶ ἐξετηκόμην, ὅτι τὰ λόγιά σου οὐκ ἐφυλάξαντο.

Behold, I have loved thy commandments, O Lord: quicken me in thy mercy.

ἴδε, ὅτι τὰς ἐντολάς σου ἠγάπησα· Κύριε, ἐν τῷ ἐλέει σου ζῆσόν με.

The beginning of thy words is truth; and all the judgments of thy righteousness [endure] for ever.

ἀρχὴ τῶν λόγων σου ἀλήθεια, καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα πάντα τὰ κρίματα τῆς δικαιοσύνης σου.

Princes persecuted me without a cause, but my heart feared because of thy words.

Ἄρχοντες κατεδίωξάν με δωρεάν, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν λόγων σου ἐδειλίασεν ἡ καρδία μου.

I will exult because of thine oracles, as one that finds much spoil.

ἀγαλλιάσομαι ἐγὼ ἐπὶ τὰ λόγιά σου ὡς ὁ εὑρίσκων σκῦλα πολλά.

I hate and abhor unrighteousness; but I love thy law.

ἀδικίαν ἐμίσησα καὶ ἐβδελυξάμην, τὸν δὲ νόμον σου ἠγάπησα.

Seven times in a day have I praised thee because of the judgments of thy righteousness.

ἑπτάκις τῆς ἡμέρας ᾔνεσά σε ἐπὶ τὰ κρίματα τῆς δικαιοσύνης σου.

Great peace have they that love thy law: and there is no stumbling-block to them.

εἰρήνη πολλὴ τοῖς ἀγαπῶσι τὸν νόμον σου, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς σκάνδαλον.

I waited for thy salvation, O Lord, and have loved thy commandments.

προσεδόκων τὸ σωτήριόν σου, Κύριε, καὶ τὰς ἐντολάς σου ἠγάπησα.

My soul has kept thy testimonies, and loved them exceedingly.

ἐφύλαξεν ἡ ψυχή μου τὰ μαρτύριά σου καὶ ἠγάπησεν αὐτὰ σφόδρα.

I have kept thy commandments and thy testimonies; for all my ways are before thee, O Lord.

ἐφύλαξα τὰς ἐντολάς σου καὶ τὰ μαρτύριά σου, ὅτι πᾶσαι αἱ ὁδοί μου ἐναντίον σου, Κύριε.

Let my supplication come near before thee, O Lord; instruct me according to thine oracle.

Ἐγγισάτω ἡ δέησίς μου ἐνώπιόν σου, Κύριε· κατὰ τὸ λόγιόν σου συνέτισόν με.

Let my petition come in before thee, O Lord; deliver me according to thine oracle.

εἰσέλθοι τὸ ἀξίωμά μου ἐνώπιόν σου, Κύριε· κατὰ τὸ λόγιόν σου ῥῦσαί με.

Let my lips utter a hymn, when thou shalt have taught me thine ordinances.

ἐξερεύξαιντο τὰ χείλη μου ὕμνον, ὅταν διδάξῃς με τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

Let my tongue utter thine oracles; for all thy commandments are righteous.

φθέγξαιτο ἡ γλῶσσά μου τὰ λόγιά σου, ὅτι πᾶσαι αἱ ἐντολαί σου δικαιοσύνη.

Let thine hand be [prompt] to save me; for I have chosen thy commandments.

γενέσθω ἡ χείρ σου τοῦ σῶσαί με, ὅτι τὰς ἐντολάς σου ᾑρετισάμην.

I have longed after thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my meditation.

ἐπεπόθησα τὸ σωτήριόν σου, Κύριε, καὶ ὁ νόμος σου μελέτη μού ἐστι.

My soul shall live, and shall praise thee; and thy judgments shall help me.

ζήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου καὶ αἰνέσει σε, καὶ τὰ κρίματά σου βοηθήσει μοι.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I have not forgotten thy commandments.

ἐπλανήθην ὡς πρόβατον ἀπολωλός· ζήτησον τὸν δοῦλόν σου, ὅτι τὰς ἐντολάς σου οὐκ ἐπελαθόμην.
