Delphi Septuagint

by Lancelot C L Brenton (ed)

  [7] For he is my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved.

  [8] ἐπὶ τῷ Θεῷ τὸ σωτήριόν μου καὶ ἡ δόξα μου· ὁ Θεὸς τῆς βοηθείας μου, καὶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου ἐπὶ τῷ Θεῷ.

  [8] In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.

  [9] ἐλπίσατε ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν πᾶσα συναγωγὴ λαοῦ· ἐκχέετε ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν, ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς βοηθὸς ἡμῶν. (διάψαλμα).

  [9] Hope in him, all ye congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. (Pause).

  [10] πλὴν μάταιοι οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ψευδεῖς οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐν ζυγοῖς τοῦ ἀδικῆσαι αὐτοὶ ἐκ ματαιότητος ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό.

  [10] But the sons of men are vain; the sons of men are false, so as to be deceitful in the balances; they are all alike formed out of vanity.

  [11] μὴ ἐλπίζετε ἐπ᾿ ἀδικίαν καὶ ἐπὶ ἁρπάγματα μὴ ἐπιποθεῖτε· πλοῦτος ἐὰν ῥέῃ, μὴ προστίθεσθε καρδίαν.

  [11] Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it.

  [12] ἅπαξ ἐλάλησεν ὁ Θεός, δύο ταῦτα ἤκουσα, ὅτι τὸ κράτος τοῦ Θεοῦ,

  [12] God has spoken once, and I have heard these two things, that power is of God;

  [13] καὶ σοῦ, Κύριε, τὸ ἔλεος, ὅτι σὺ ἀποδώσεις ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ.

  [13] and mercy is thine, O Lord; for thou wilt recompense every one according to his works.

  Ψαλμός 62

  Psalm 62

  Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τῆς Ἰουδαίας.

  A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea.

  [2] Ο ΘΕΟΣ ὁ Θεός μου, πρὸς σὲ ὀρθρίζω· ἐδίψησέ σε ἡ ψυχή μου, ποσαπλῶς σοι ἡ σάρξ μου ἐν γῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ ἀβάτῳ καὶ ἀνύδρῳ.

  [2] O God, my God, I cry to thee early; my soul has thirsted for thee: how often has my flesh longed after thee, in a barren and trackless and dry land!

  [3] οὕτως ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ ὤφθην σοι τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὴν δύναμίν σου καὶ τὴν δόξαν σου.

  [3] Thus have I appeared before thee in the sanctuary, that I might see thy power and thy glory.

  [4] ὅτι κρεῖσσον τὸ ἔλεός σου ὑπὲρ ζωάς· τὰ χείλη μου ἐπαινέσουσί σε.

  [4] For thy mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.

  [5] οὕτως εὐλογήσω σε ἐν τῇ ζωῇ μου καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἀρῶ τὰς χεῖράς μου.

  [5] Thus will I bless thee during my life: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

  [6] ὡς ἐκ στέατος καὶ πιότητος ἐμπλησθείη ἡ ψυχή μου, καὶ χείλη ἀγαλλιάσεως αἰνέσει τὸ στόμα μου.

  [6] Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and my joyful lips shall praise thy name.

  [7] εἰ ἐμνημόνευόν σου ἐπὶ τῆς στρωμνῆς μου, ἐν τοῖς ὄρθροις ἐμελέτων εἰς σέ·

  [7] Forasmuch as I have remembered thee on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on thee.

  [8] ὅτι ἐγενήθης βοηθός μου, καὶ ἐν τῇ σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύγων σου ἀγαλλιάσομαι.

  [8] For thou hast been my helper, and in the shelter of thy wings will I rejoice.

  [9] ἐκολλήθη ἡ ψυχή μου ὀπίσω σου, ἐμοῦ δὲ ἀντελάβετο ἡ δεξιά σου.

  [9] My soul has kept very close behind thee: thy right hand has upheld me.

  [10] αὐτοὶ δὲ εἰς μάτην ἐζήτησαν τὴν ψυχήν μου, εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὰ κατώτατα τῆς γῆς·

  [10] But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.

  [11] παραδοθήσονται εἰς χεῖρας ῥομφαίας, μερίδες ἀλωπέκων ἔσονται.

  [11] They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.

  [12] ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς εὐφρανθήσεται ἐπὶ τῷ Θεῷ, ἐπαινεθήσεται πᾶς ὁ ὀμνύων ἐν αὐτῷ, ὅτι ἐνεφράγη στόμα λαλούντων ἄδικα.

  [12] But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.

  Ψαλμός 63

  Psalm 63

  Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ.

  For the end, a Psalm of David.

  [2] ΕΙΣΑΚΟΥΣΟΝ, ὁ Θεός, τῆς φωνῆς μου, ἐν τῷ δέεσθαί με πρὸς σέ, ἀπὸ φόβου ἐχθροῦ ἐξελοῦ τὴν ψυχήν μου.

  [2] Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to thee; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.

  [3] ἐσκέπασάς με ἀπὸ συστροφῆς πονηρευομένων, ἀπὸ πλήθους ἐργαζομένων ἀδικίαν,

  [3] Thou hast sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;

  [4] οἵτινες ἠκόνησαν ὡς ῥομφαίαν τὰς γλώσσας αὐτῶν, ἐνέτειναν τόξον αὐτῶν πρᾶγμα πικρὸν

  [4] who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;

  [5] τοῦ κατατοξεῦσαι ἐν ἀποκρύφοις ἄμωμον, ἐξάπινα κατατοξεύσουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσονται.

  [5] to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.

  [6] ἐκραταίωσαν ἑαυτοῖς λόγον πονηρόν, διηγήσαντο τοῦ κρύψαι παγίδας, εἶπαν· τίς ὄψεται αὐτούς;

  [6] They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them?

  [7] ἐξηρεύνησαν ἀνομίαν, ἐξέλιπον ἐξερευνῶντες ἐξερευνήσεις. προσελεύσεται ἄνθρωπος, καὶ καρδία βαθεῖα,

  [7] They have searched out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,

  [8] καὶ ὑψωθήσεται, ὁ Θεός. βέλος νηπίων ἐγενήθησαν αἱ πληγαὶ αὐτῶν,

  [8] and God shall be exalted, their wounds were caused by the weapon of the foolish children,

  [9] καὶ ἐξησθένησαν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς αἱ γλῶσσαι αὐτῶν. ἐταράχθησαν πάντες οἱ θεωροῦντες αὐτούς,

  [9] and their tongues have set him at nought, all that saw them were troubled;

  [10] καὶ ἐφοβήθη πᾶς ἄνθρωπος. καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τὰ ποιήματα αὐτοῦ συνῆκαν.

  [10] and every man was alarmed, and they related the works of God, and understood his deeds.

  [11] εὐφρανθήσεται δίκαιος ἐν τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ ἐλπιεῖ ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ ἐπαινεθήσονται πάντε�
� οἱ εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ.

  [11] The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and hope on him, and all the upright in heart shall be praised.

  Ψαλμός 64

  Psalm 64

  Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ, ᾠδή· Ἱερεμίου καὶ Ἰεζεκιήλ ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς παροικίας, ὅτε ἔμελλον ἐκπορεύεσθαι.

  For the end, a Psalm and Song of David.

  [2] ΣΟΙ ΠΡΕΠΕΙ ὕμνος, ὁ Θεός, ἐν Σιών, καὶ σοὶ ἀποδοθήσεται εὐχὴ ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.

  [2] Praise becomes thee, O God, in Sion; and to thee shall the vow be performed.

  [3] εἰσάκουσον προσευχῆς μου· πρὸς σὲ πᾶσα σὰρξ ἥξει.

  [3] Hear my prayer; to thee all flesh shall come.

  [4] λόγοι ἀνόμων ὑπερεδυνάμωσαν ἡμᾶς, καὶ ταῖς ἀσεβείαις ἡμῶν σὺ ἱλάσῃ.

  [4] The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do thou pardon our sins.

  [5] μακάριος ὃν ἐξελέξω καὶ προσελάβου· κατασκηνώσει ἐν ταῖς αὐλαῖς σου. πλησθησόμεθα ἐν τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς τοῦ οἴκου σου· ἅγιος ὁ ναός σου,

  [5] Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in thy courts; we shall be filled with the good things of thy house; thy temple is holy.

  [6] θαυμαστὸς ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ. ἐπάκουσον ἡμῶν, ὁ Θεός, ὁ σωτὴρ ἡμῶν, ἡ ἐλπὶς πάντων τῶν περάτων τῆς γῆς καὶ τῶν ἐν θαλάσσῃ μακράν,

  [6] Thou art wonderful in righteousness. Hearken to us, O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are on the sea afar off:

  [7] ἑτοιμάζων ὄρη ἐν τῇ ἰσχύϊ αὐτοῦ, περιεζωσμένος ἐν δυναστείᾳ,

  [7] who dost establish the mountains in thy strength, being girded about with power;

  [8] ὁ συνταράσσων τὸ κῦτος τῆς θαλάσσης, ἤχους κυμάτων αὐτῆς. ταραχθήσονται τὰ ἔθνη,

  [8] who troublest the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.

  [9] καὶ φοβηθήσονται οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὰ πέρατα ἀπὸ τῶν σημείων σου· ἐξόδους πρωΐας καὶ ἑσπέρας τέρψεις.

  [9] The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends of the earth shall be afraid of thy signs; thou wilt cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.

  [10] ἐπεσκέψω τὴν γῆν καὶ ἐμέθυσας αὐτήν, ἐπλήθυνας τοῦ πλουτίσαι αὐτήν· ὁ ποταμὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπληρώθη ὑδάτων· ἡτοίμασας τὴν τροφὴν αὐτῶν, ὅτι οὕτως ἡ ἑτοιμασία.

  [10] Thou hast visited the earth, and saturated it; thou hast abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; thou hast prepared their food, for thus is the preparation of it.

  [11] τοὺς αὔλακας αὐτῆς μέθυσον, πλήθυνον τὰ γεννήματα αὐτῆς, ἐν ταῖς σταγόσιν αὐτῆς εὐφρανθήσεται ἀνατέλλουσα.

  [11] Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; the crop springing up shall rejoice in its drops.

  [12] εὐλογήσεις τὸν στέφανον τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ τῆς χρηστότητός σου, καὶ τὰ πεδία σου πλησθήσονται πιότητος·

  [12] Thou wilt bless the crown of the year because of thy goodness; and thy plains shall be filled with fatness.

  [13] πιανθήσεται τὰ ὄρη τῆς ἐρήμου, καὶ ἀγαλλίασιν οἱ βουνοὶ περιζώσονται.

  [13] The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird themselves with joy.

  [14] ἐνεδύσαντο οἱ κριοὶ τῶν προβάτων, καὶ αἱ κοιλάδες πληθυνοῦσι σῖτον· κεκράξονται, καὶ γὰρ ὑμνήσουσι.

  [14] The rams of the flock are clothed with wool, and the valleys shall abound in corn; they shall cry aloud, yea they shall sing hymns.

  Ψαλμός 65

  Psalm 65

  Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ᾠδὴ ψαλμοῦ· ἀναστάσεως.

  For the end, a Song of Psalm of resurrection.

  ΑΛΑΛΑΞΑΤΕ τῷ Κυρίῳ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ,

  Shout unto God, all the earth.

  [2] ψάλατε δὴ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ. δότε δόξαν αἰνέσει αὐτοῦ.

  [2] O sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise.

  [3] εἴπατε τῷ Θεῷ· ὡς φοβερὰ τὰ ἔργα σου· ἐν τῷ πλήθει τῆς δυνάμεώς σου ψεύσονταί σε οἱ ἐχθροί σου.

  [3] Say unto God, How awful are thy works! through the greatness of thy power thine enemies shall lie to thee.

  [4] πᾶσα ἡ γῆ προσκυνησάτωσάν σοι καὶ ψαλάτωσάν σοι, ψαλάτωσαν τῷ ὀνόματί σου. (διάψαλμα).

  [4] Let all the earth worship thee, and sing to thee; let them sing to thy name. (Pause).

  [5] δεῦτε καὶ ἴδετε τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Θεοῦ· φοβερὸς ἐν βουλαῖς ὑπὲρ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων,

  [5] Come and behold the works of God; he is terrible in his counsels beyond the children of men.

  [6] ὁ μεταστρέφων τὴν θάλασσαν εἰς ξηράν, ἐν ποταμῷ διελεύσονται ποδί. ἐκεῖ εὐφρανθησόμεθα ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ,

  [6] Who turns the sea into dry land; they shall go through the river on foot; there shall we rejoice in him,

  [7] τῷ δεσπόζοντι ἐν τῇ δυναστείᾳ αὐτοῦ τοῦ αἰῶνος. οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὰ ἔθνη ἐπιβλέπουσιν, οἱ παραπικραίνοντες μὴ ὑψούσθωσαν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς. (διάψαλμα).

  [7] who by his power is Lord over the age, his eyes look upon the nations; let not them that provoke him be exalted in themselves. (Pause).

  [8] εὐλογεῖτε, ἔθνη, τὸν Θεὸν ἡμῶν καὶ ἀκουτίσασθε τὴν φωνὴν τῆς αἰνέσεως αὐτοῦ,

  [8] Bless our God, ye Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;

  [9] τοῦ θεμένου τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰς ζωήν, καὶ μὴ δόντος εἰς σάλον τοὺς πόδας μου.

  [9] who quickens my soul in life, and does not suffer my feet to be moved.

  [10] ὅτι ἐδοκίμασας ἡμᾶς, ὁ Θεός, ἐπύρωσας ἡμᾶς, ὡς πυροῦται τὸ ἀργύριον·

  [10] For thou, O God, has proved us; thou hast tried us with fire as silver is tried.

  [11] εἰσήγαγες ἡμᾶς εἰς τὴν παγίδα, ἔθου θλίψεις ἐπὶ τὸν νῶτον ἡμῶν.

  [11] Thou broughtest us into the snare; thou laidest afflictions on our back.

  [12] ἐπεβίβασας ἀνθρώπους ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς ἡμῶν, διήλθομεν διὰ πυρὸς καὶ ὕδατος, καὶ ἐξήγαγες ἡμᾶς εἰς ἀναψυχήν.

  [12] Thou didst mount men upon our heads; we went through the fire and water; but thou broughtest us out into a place of refreshment.

  [13] εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου ἐν ὁλοκαυτώμασιν, ἀποδώσω σοι τὰς εὐχάς
μου,

  [13] I will go into thine house with whole-burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,

  [14] ἃς διέστειλε τὰ χείλη μου καὶ ἐλάλησε τὸ στόμα μου ἐν τῇ θλίψει μου·

  [14] which my lips framed, and my mouth uttered in my affliction.

  [15] ὁλοκαυτώματα μεμυελωμένα ἀνοίσω σοι μετὰ θυμιάματος καὶ κριῶν, ἀνοίσω σοι βόας μετὰ χιμάρων. (διάψαλμα).

  [15] I will offer to thee whole-burnt-sacrifices full of marrow, with incense and rams; I will sacrifice to thee oxen with goats. (Pause).

  [16] δεῦτε ἀκούσατε, καὶ διηγήσομαι, πάντες οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν Θεόν, ὅσα ἐποίησε τῇ ψυχῇ μου.

  [16] Come, hear, and I will tell, all ye that fear God, how great things he has done for my soul.

  [17] πρὸς αὐτὸν τῷ στόματί μου ἐκέκραξα καὶ ὕψωσα ὑπὸ τὴν γλῶσσάν μου.

  [17] I cried to him with my mouth, and exalted him with my tongue.

  [18] ἀδικίαν εἰ ἐθεώρουν ἐν καρδίᾳ μου, μὴ εἰσακουσάτω μου Κύριος.

  [18] If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord hearken to me.

  [19] διὰ τοῦτο εἰσήκουσέ μου ὁ Θεός, προσέσχε τῇ φωνῇ τῆς δεήσεώς μου.

  [19] Therefore God has hearkened to me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

  [20] εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεός, ὃς οὐκ ἀπέστησε τὴν προσευχήν μου καὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ.

  [20] Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
