ΛΗ΄

Εἰς τὸ τἔλος, τῷ Ἰδιθούν· ᾠδὴ τῷ Δαυείδ.

Εἶπα Φυλάξω τὰς ὁδούς μου τοῦ μὴ ἁμαρτάνειν ἐν γλώσσῃ μου·

ἐθέμην τῷ στόματί μου φυλακὴν

ἐν τῷ συστῆναι τὸν ἁμαρτωλὸν ἐναντίον μου.

¹²

ἐκωφώθην καὶ ἐταπεινώθην καὶ ἐσίγησα ἐξ ἀγαθῶν,

καὶ τὸ ἄλγημά μου ἀνεκαινίσθη.

ἐθερμάνθη ἡ καρδία μου ἐντός μου.

καὶ ἐν τῇ μελέτῃ μου ἐκκαυθήσεται πῦρ·

ἐλάλησα ἐν γλώσσῃ μου ⁵Γνώρισόν μοι, Κύριε, τὸ πέρας μου,

καὶ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἡμερῶν μου τίς ἐστιν,

ἴνα γνῶ τί ὑστερῶ ἐγώ.

ἰδοὺ παλαιὰς ἔθου τὰς ἡμέρας μου,

καὶ ἡ ὑπόστασίς μου ὡσεὶ οὐδὲν ἐνώπιόν σου·

πλὴν τὰ σύμπαντα ματαιότης, πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ζῶν. διάψαλμα.

μέντοι γε ἐν εἰκόνι διαπορεύεται ἄνθρωπος,

πλὴν μάτην ταράσσονται·

θησαυρίζει, καὶ οὐ γινώσκει τίνι συνάξει αὐτά.

καὶ νῦν τίς ἡ ὑπομονὴ μου οὐχὶ ὁ κύριος;

καὶ ἡ ὑπόστασίς μου παρὰ σοῦ ἐστιν.

ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἀνομιῶν μου ῥῦσαί με,

ὄνειδος ἄφρονι ἔδωκάς με.

ἐκωφώθην καὶ οὐκ ἤνοιξα τὸ στόμα μου, ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ ποιήσας με.

ἀπόστησον ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ τὰς μάστιγάς σου·

ἀπὸ τῆς ἰσχύος τῆς χειρός σου ἐγὼ ἐξέλιπον.

ἐν ἐλεγμοῖς ὑπέρ ἀνομίας ἐπαίδευσας ἄνθρωπον,

καὶ ἐξέτηξας ὡς ἀράχνην τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ·

πλὴν μάτην ταράσσεται πᾶς ἄνθρωπος. διάψαλμα.

εἰσάκουσον τῆς προσευχῆς μου καὶ τῆς δεήσεώς μου,

ἐνώτισαι τῶν δακρύων μου.

μὴ παρασιωπήσῃς· ὅτι πάροικος ἐγὼ εἰμι ἐν τῇ γῇ

καὶ παρεπίδημος, καθὼς πάντες οἱ πατέρες μου.

ἄνες μοι ἵνα ἀναψύξω

πρὸ τοῦ με ἀπελθεῖν καὶ οὐκέτι μὴ ὑπάρξω.

Psalms Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 38 focus

A Psalm by David, for a memorial.

Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, Neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

For your arrows have pierced me, Your hand presses hard on me.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness.

I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.

For my loins are filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.

I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.

Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.

My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.

They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits all day long.

But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.

Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, In whose mouth are no reproofs.

For in you, Yahweh, do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God.

For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, Or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”

For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.

For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.

But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.

They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, Because I follow what is good.

Don’t forsake me, Yahweh. My God, don’t be far from me.

Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.
