Psalm 35 [MT 36]

1

[For the end, by David the servant of the Lord.]

Εἰς τὸ τέλος· τῷ δούλῳ Κυρίου τῷ Δαυΐδ. -

2

The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, [that] there is no fear of God before his eyes.

ΦΗΣΙΝ ὁ παράνομος τοῦ ἁμαρτάνειν ἐν ἑαυτῷ, οὐκ ἔστι φόβος Θεοῦ ἀπέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ·

3

For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.

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

4

The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] to do good.

τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἀνομία καὶ δόλος, οὐκ ἠβουλήθη συνιέναι τοῦ ἀγαθῦναι·

5

He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.

ἀνομίαν διελογίσατο ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης αὐτοῦ, παρέστη πάσῃ ὁδῷ οὐκ ἀγαθῇ, κακίᾳ δὲ οὐ προσώχθισε.

6

O Lord, thy mercy is in the heaven; and thy truth [reaches] to the clouds.

Κύριε, ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ τὸ ἔλεός σου, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθειά σου ἕως τῶν νεφελῶν·

7

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

ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου ὡς ὄρη Θεοῦ, τὰ κρίματά σου ὡσεὶ ἄβυσσος πολλή· ἀνθρώπους καὶ κτήνη σώσεις, Κύριε.

8

How hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of thy wings.

ὡς ἐπλήθυνας τὸ ἔλεός σου, ὁ Θεός· οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐν σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύγων σου ἐλπιοῦσι.

9

They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of thine house; and thou shalt cause them to drink of the full stream of thy delights.

μεθυσθήσονται ἀπὸ πιότητος οἴκου σου, καὶ τὸν χειμάῤῥουν τῆς τρυφῆς σου ποτιεῖς αὐτούς·

10

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light we shall see light.

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

11

Extend thy mercy to them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

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

12

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.

μὴ ἐλθέτω μοι ποὺς ὑπερηφανίας, καὶ χεὶρ ἁμαρτωλοῦ μὴ σαλεύσαι με.

13

There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.

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