Psalms 108
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Ὁ θεός, τὴν αἴνεσίν μου μὴ παρασιωπήσῃς·
109:1
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent.
ὅτι στόμα ἁμαρτωλοῦ καὶ στόμα δολίου ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἠνοίχθη, ἐλάλησαν κατ᾿ ἐμοῦ γλώσσῃ δολίᾳ·
109:2
For wicked and deceitful mouths open against me; they speak against me with lying tongues.
καὶ λόγοις μίσους ἐκύκλωσάν με, καὶ ἐπολέμησάν με δωρεάν.
109:3
They surround me with hateful words and attack me without cause.
ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀγαπᾷν με ἐνδιέβαλλόν με, ἐγὼ δὲ προσευχόμην·
109:4
In return for my love they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer.
καὶ ἔθεντο κατʼ ἐμοῦ κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν, καὶ μῖσος ἀντὶ τῆς ἀγαπήσεώς μου.
109:5
They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
κατάστησον ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἁμαρτωλόν, καὶ διάβολος στήτω ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ·
109:6
Set over him a wicked man; let an accuser stand at his right hand.
ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαι αὐτὸν ἐξέλθοι καταδεδικασμένος. καὶ ἡ προσευχὴ αὐτοῦ γενέσθω εἶς ἁμαρτίαν.
109:7
When he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayer be regarded as sin.
γενηθήτωσαν αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτοῦ ὀλίγαι, καὶ τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν αὐτοῦ λάβοι ἕτερος·
109:8
May his days be few; may another take his position (note: Cited in Acts 1:20).
γενηθήτωσαν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ὀρφανοί, καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ χήρα·
109:9
May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
σαλευόμενοι μεταναστήτωσαν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπαιτησάτωσαν, ἐκβληθήτωσαν ἐκ τῶν οἰκοπέδων αὐτῶν.
109:10
May his children wander as beggars, seeking sustenance (note: Hebrew; LXX may they be driven) far from their ruined homes.
καὶ ἐξεραυνησάτω δανιστὴς πάντα ὅσα ὑπάρχει αὐτῷ· διαρπασάτωσαν ἀλλότριοι πάντας τοὺς πόνους αὐτοῦ·
109:11
May the creditor seize all he owns, and strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
μὴ ὑπαρξάτω αὐτῷ ἀντιλήμπτωρ, μηδέ γενηθήτω οἰκτίρμων τοῖς ὀρφανοῖς αὐτοῦ·
109:12
May there be no one to extend kindness to him, and no one to favor his fatherless children.
γενηθήτω τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ εἰς ἐξολέθρευσιν, ἐν γενεᾷ μιᾷ ἐξαλειφθήτω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ.
109:13
May his descendants be cut off; may their name be blotted out from the next generation.
ἀναμνησθείη ἡ ἁμαρτία τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἔναντι Κυρίοι, καὶ ἡ ἁμαρτία τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ μὴ ἐξαλειφθείη·
109:14
May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, and the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
γενηθήτωσαν ἔναντι Κυρίου διὰ παντός, καὶ ἐξολεθρευθείη ἐκ γῆς τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν.
109:15
May their sins always remain before the LORD, that He may cut off their memory from the earth.
ἀυθʼ ὧν οὐκ ἐμνήσθη τοῦ ποιῆσαι ἔλεος, καὶ κατεδίωξεν πένητα καὶ πτωχὸν καὶ κατανενυγμένον τῇ καρδία τοῦ θανατῶσαι.
109:16
For he never thought to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and brokenhearted, even to their death.
καὶ ἠγάπησεν κατάραν, καὶ ἥξει αὐτῷ· καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν εὐλογίαν, καὶ μακρυνθήσεται ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.
109:17
The cursing that he loved, may it fall on him; the blessing in which he refused to delight, may it be far from him.
καὶ ἐνεδύσατο κατάραν ὡς ἱμάτον, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὡς ὕδωρ εἰς τὰ ἔνκατα αὐτοῦ καὶ ὡς ἔλαιον ἐν τοῖς ὀστέοις αὐτοῦ·
109:18
The cursing that he wore like a coat, may it soak into his body like water, and into his bones like oil.
γενηθήτω αὐτῷ ὡς ἱμάτιον ὁ περιβάλλεται. καὶ ὡσεὶ ζώνη ἣν διὰ παντὸς ζώννυται.
109:19
May it be like a robe wrapped about him, like a belt tied forever around him.
τοῦτο τὸ ἔργον τῶν ἐνδιαβαλλόντων με παρὰ Κυρίῳ καὶ τῶν λαλούντων πονηρὰ κατὰ τῆς ψυχῆς μου.
109:20
May this be the LORD’s reward to my accusers, to those who speak evil against me.
καὶ σύ, Κύριε κύριε, ποίησον μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἔλεος ἕνεκα τοῦ ὀνόμάτος σου, ὅτι χρηστὸν τὸ ἔλεός σου, ῥῦσαί με·
109:21
But You, O GOD, the Lord, deal kindly with me for the sake of Your name; deliver me by the goodness of Your loving devotion.
ὅτι πτωχὸς καὶ πένης ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ ἡ καρδία μου τετάρακται ἐντός μου.
109:22
For I am poor and needy; my heart is wounded within me.
ὡσεὶ σκιὰ ἐν τῷ ἐκκλῖναι αὐτὴν ἀντανῃρέθη, ἐξετινάχθην, ὡσεὶ ἀκρίδες.
109:23
I am fading away like a lengthening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.
πὰ γόνατα μου ἠσθένησαν ἀπὸ νηστιας, καὶ ἡ σαρξ μου ἠλλοιώθη δι᾿ ἔλαιον.
109:24
My knees are weak from fasting, and my body grows lean and gaunt.
καὶ ἐγὼ ἐγενήθην ὄνειδος αὐτοῖς· εἴδοσάν με, ἐσάλευσαν κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν.
109:25
I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.
βοήθησόν μοι, Κύριε ὁ θεός μου, σῶσόν με κατὰ τὸ μέγα ἔλεός σου·
109:26
Help me, O LORD my God; save me according to Your loving devotion.
καὶ γνώτωσαν ὅτι ἡ χείρ σου αὕτη, καὶ σύ, Κύριε, ἐποίησας αὐτήν,
109:27
Let them know that this is Your hand, that You, O LORD, have done it.
καταράσονται αὐτοί, καὶ σὺ εὐλογήσεις· οἱ ἐπανιστανόμενοί μοι αἰσχυνθήτωσαν, ὁ δὲ δοῦλός σου εὐφρανθήσεται.
109:28
Though they curse, You will bless. When they rise up, they will be put to shame, but Your servant will rejoice.
ἐνδυσάσθωσαν οἱ ἐνδιαβάλλοντές με ἐντροπήν, καὶ περιβαλλέσθωσαν αἰσχύνην ὡσεὶ διπλοίδα αὐτῶν.
109:29
May my accusers be clothed with disgrace; may they wear their shame like a robe.
ἐξομολογήσομαι τῷ κυρίῳ σφόδρα τῷ στοματί μου, καὶ ἐν μέσῳ πολλῶν αἰνέσω αὐτόν·
109:30
With my mouth I will thank the LORD profusely; I will praise Him in the presence of many.
ὅτι παρέστη ἐκ δεξιῶν πένητος, τοῦ σῶσαι ἐκ τῶν διωκόντων τὴν ψυχὴν μου.
109:31
For He stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save him from the condemners of his soul.
