Psalm 24 [MT 25]

[A Psalm of David.] To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.

Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ. - ΠΡΟΣ σέ, Κύριε, ἦρα τὴν ψυχήν μου, ὁ Θεός μου.

O my God, I have trusted in thee: let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies laugh me to scorn.

ἐπὶ σοὶ πέποιθα· μὴ καταισχυνθείην, μηδὲ καταγελασάτωσάν με οἱ ἐχθροί μου.

For none of them that wait on thee shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.

καὶ γὰρ πάντες οἱ ὑπομένοντές σε οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῶσιν· αἰσχυνθήτωσαν οἱ ἀνομοῦντες διακενῆς.

Shew me thy ways, O Lord; and teach me thy paths.

τὰς ὁδούς σου, Κύριε, γνώρισόν μοι, καὶ τὰς τρίβους σου δίδαξόν με.

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art God my Saviour: and I have waited on thee all the day.

ὁδήγησόν με ἐπὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου καὶ δίδαξόν με, ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ σωτήρ μου, καὶ σὲ ὑπέμεινα ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν.

Remember thy compassions, O Lord, and thy mercies, for they are from everlasting.

μνήσθητι τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν σου, Κύριε, καὶ τὰ ἐλέη σου, ὅτι ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνός εἰσιν.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor [my sins] of ignorance: remember me according to thy mercy, for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.

ἁμαρτίας νεότητός μου καὶ ἀγνοίας μου μὴ μνησθῇς· κατὰ τὸ ἔλεός σου μνήσθητί μου, σύ, ἕνεκεν χρηστότητός σου, Κύριε.

Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he instruct sinners in [the] way.

χρηστὸς καὶ εὐθὴς ὁ Κύριος· διὰ τοῦτο νομοθετήσει ἁμαρτάνοντας ἐν ὁδῷ.

The meek will he guide in judgment: the meek will he teach his ways.

ὁδηγήσει πραεῖς ἐν κρίσει, διδάξει πραεῖς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ.

All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth to them that seek his covenant and his testimonies.

πᾶσαι αἱ ὁδοὶ Κυρίου ἔλεος καὶ ἀλήθεια τοῖς ἐκζητοῦσι τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ.

For thy name’s sake, O Lord, do thou also be merciful to my sin; for it is great.

ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου, Κύριε, καὶ ἱλάσῃ τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ μου, πολλὴ γάρ ἐστι.

Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.

τίς ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος ὁ φοβούμενος τὸν Κύριον; νομοθετήσει αὐτῷ ἐν ὁδῷ, ᾗ ᾑρετίσατο.

His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγαθοῖς αὐλισθήσεται, καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ κληρονομήσει γῆν.

The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest [truth] to them.

κραταίωμα Κύριος τῶν φοβουμένων αὐτόν, καὶ ἡ διαθήκη αὐτοῦ δηλώσει αὐτοῖς.

Mine eyes are continually to the Lord; for he shall draw my feet out of the snare.

οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου διὰ παντὸς πρὸς τὸν Κύριον, ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐκσπάσει ἐκ παγίδος τοὺς πόδας μου.

Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor.

ἐπίβλεψον ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ καὶ ἐλέησόν με, ὅτι μονογενὴς καὶ πτωχός εἰμι ἐγώ.

The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses.

αἱ θλίψεις τῆς καρδίας μου ἐπληθύνθησαν· ἐκ τῶν ἀναγκῶν μου ἐξάγαγέ με.

Look upon mine affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.

ἴδε τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου καὶ τὸν κόπον μου καὶ ἄφες πάσας τὰς ἁμαρτίας μου.

Look upon mine enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred.

ἴδε τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου, ὅτι ἐπληθύνθησαν καὶ μῖσος ἄδικον ἐμίσησάν με.

Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in thee.

φύλαξον τὴν ψυχήν μου καὶ ῥῦσαί με· μὴ καταισχυνθείην, ὅτι ἤλπισα ἐπὶ σέ.

The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for thee, O Lord.

ἄκακοι καὶ εὐθεῖς ἐκολλῶντό μοι, ὅτι ὑπέμεινά σε, Κύριε.

Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions.

λύτρωσαι, ὁ Θεός, τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν θλίψεων αὐτοῦ.
