Psalm 69 [MT 70]

[For the end, by David for a remembrance, that the Lord may save me.]

Εἰς τὸ τέλος· τῷ Δαυΐδ εἰς ἀνάμνησιν, εἰς τὸ σῶσαί με Κύριον. -

Draw nigh, O God, to my help.

Ο ΘΕΟΣ, εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν μου πρόσχες· Κύριε, εἰς τὸ βοηθῆσαί μοι σπεῦσον.

Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek my soul: let them be turned backward and put to shame, that wish me evil.

αἰσχυνθήτωσαν καὶ ἐντραπήτωσαν οἱ ζητοῦντες τὴν ψυχήν μου· ἀποστραφήτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω καὶ καταισχυνθήτωσαν οἱ βουλόμενοί μου κακά·

Let them that say to me, Aha, aha, be turned back and put to shame immediately.

ἀποστραφήτωσαν παραυτίκα αἰσχυνόμενοι οἱ λέγοντές μοι· εὖγε εὖγε.

Let all that seek thee exult and be glad in thee: and let those that love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

ἀγαλλιάσθωσαν καὶ εὐφρανθήτωσαν ἐπὶ σοὶ πάντες οἱ ζητοῦντές σε, ὁ Θεός, καὶ λεγέτωσαν διαπαντός· μεγαλυνθήτω ὁ Κύριος, οἱ ἀγαπῶντες τὸ σωτήριόν σου.

But I am poor and needy; O God, help me: thou art my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not.

ἐγὼ δὲ πτωχός εἰμι καὶ πένης· ὁ Θεός, βοήθησόν μοι. βοηθός μου καὶ ῥύστης μου εἶ σύ· Κύριε, μὴ χρονίσῃς.
