Psalm 76 [MT 77]

[For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph.]

Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ ᾿Ιδιθούν· ψαλμὸς τῷ ᾿Ασάφ. -

I cried to the Lord with my voice, yea, my voice [was addressed] to God; and he gave heed to me.

ΦΩΝῌ μου πρὸς Κύριον ἐκέκραξα, φωνῇ μου πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, καὶ προσέσχε μοι.

In the day of mine affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; [even] with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted.

ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεώς μου τὸν Θεὸν ἐξεζήτησα, ταῖς χερσί μου νυκτὸς ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἠπατήθην· ἀπηνήνατο παρακληθῆναι ἡ ψυχή μου.

I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause.

ἐμνήσθην τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ εὐφράνθην· ἠδολέσχησα, καὶ ὠλιγοψύχησε τὸ πνεῦμά μου. (διάψαλμα).

All mine enemies set a watch [against me]: I was troubled, and spoke not.

προκατελάβοντο φυλακὰς οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου, ἐταράχθην καὶ οὐκ ἐλάλησα.

I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.

διελογισάμην ἡμέρας ἀρχαίας, καὶ ἔτη αἰώνια ἐμνήσθην καὶ ἐμελέτησα·

And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, [saying],

νυκτὸς μετὰ τῆς καρδίας μου ἠδολέσχουν, καὶ ἔσκαλλε τὸ πνεῦμά μου.

Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?

μὴ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας ἀπώσεται Κύριος καὶ οὐ προσθήσει τοῦ εὐδοκῆσαι ἔτι;

Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?

ἢ εἰς τέλος τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἀποκόψει; συνετέλεσε ῥῆμα ἀπὸ γενεᾶς εἰς γενεάν;

Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? Pause.

μὴ ἐπιλήσεται τοῦ οἰκτειρῆσαι ὁ Θεός; ἢ συνέξει ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ τοὺς οἰκτιρμοὺς αὐτοῦ; (διάψαλμα).

And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.

καὶ εἶπα· νῦν ἠρξάμην, αὕτη ἡ ἀλλοίωσις τῆς δεξιᾶς τοῦ ῾Υψίστου.

I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember thy wonders from the beginning.

ἐμνήσθην τῶν ἔργων Κυρίου, ὅτι μνησθήσομαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς τῶν θαυμασίων σου

And I will meditate on all thy works, and will consider thy doings.

καὶ μελετήσω ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔργοις σου καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασί σου ἀδολεσχήσω.

O God, thy way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?

ὁ Θεός, ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ ἡ ὁδός σου· τίς Θεὸς μέγας ὡς ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν;

Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast made known thy power among the nations.

σὺ εἶ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ποιῶν θαυμάσια, ἐγνώρισας ἐν τοῖς λαοῖς τὴν δύναμίν σου·

Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Pause.

ἐλυτρώσω ἐν τῷ βραχίονί σου τὸν λαόν σου, τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Ιακὼβ καὶ ᾿Ιωσήφ. (διάψαλμα).

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee, and feared; and the depths were troubled.

εἴδοσάν σε ὕδατα, ὁ Θεός, εἴδοσάν σε ὕδατα καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν, ἐταράχθησαν ἄβυσσοι,

[There was] an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for thine arrows went abroad.

πλῆθος ἤχους ὑδάτων, φωνὴν ἔδωκαν αἱ νεφέλαι, καὶ γὰρ τὰ βέλη σου διαπορεύονται·

The voice of thy thunder was abroad, and around thy lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled and quaked.

φωνὴ τῆς βροντῆς σου ἐν τῷ τροχῷ, ἔφαναν αἱ ἀστραπαί σου τῇ οἰκουμένῃ, ἐσαλεύθη καὶ ἔντρομος ἐγενήθη ἡ γῆ.

Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters, and thy footsteps cannot be known.

ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ αἱ ὁδοί σου, καὶ αἱ τρίβοι σου ἐν ὕδασι πολλοῖς, καὶ τὰ ἴχνη σου οὐ γνωσθήσονται.

Thou didst guide thy people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

ὡδήγησας ὡς πρόβατα τὸν λαόν σου ἐν χειρὶ Μωϋσῆ καὶ ᾿Ααρών.
