Parallel
Psalms 55
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁγίων μεμακρυμμένου· τῷ Δαυεὶδ εἰς στηλογραφίαν, ὁπότε ἐκράτησαν αὐτὸν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐν Γέθ.
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil (note: Maskil is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 32, 42, 44–45, 52–55, 74, 78, 88–89, and 142.) of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.
Ἐλέησόν με, Κύριε, ὅτι κατεπάτησέν με ἄνθρωπος. ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν πολεμῶν ἔθλιψέν με.
56:1
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” A Miktam (note: Miktam is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 16 and 56–60.) of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God, for men are hounding me; all day they press their attack.
κατεπάτησάν με οἱ ἐχθροί μου ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἀπὸ ὕψους ἡμέρας· ὅτι πολλοὶ οἱ πολεμοῦντές με
56:2
My enemies pursue me all day long, for many proudly assail me.
ἐν τῷ θεῷ ἐπαινέσω τοὺς λόγους μου ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν· ἐν τῷ θεῷ ἤλπισα, οὐ φοβηθήσομαι τί ποιήσει μοι σάρξ.
56:4
In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν τοὺς λόγους μου ἐβδελύσσοντο, κατʼ ἐμοῦ πάντες οἱ διαλογισμοὶ αὐτῶν εἰς κακόν.
56:5
All day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are on my demise.
παροικήσουσιν καὶ κατακρύψουσιν· αὐτοὶ τὴν πτέρναν μου φυλάξουσιν, καθάπερ ὑπέμεινα τῇ ψυχῇ μου·
56:6
They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.
ὑπὲρ τοῦ μηθενὸς σώσεις αὐτούς, ἐν ὀργῇ λαοὺς κατάξεις. ὁ θεός,
56:7
In spite of such sin, will they escape? In Your anger, O God, cast down the nations.
τὴν ζωήν μου ἐξήγγειλά σοι, ἔθου τὰ δάκρυά μου ἐνώπιόν σου ὡς καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐπαγγελίᾳ σου
56:8
You have taken account of my wanderings (note: Or sorrows). Put my tears in Your bottle—are they not in Your book?
ἐπιστρέψουσιν οἱ ἐχθροί μου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, ἐν ᾖ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπικαλέσωμαί σε ἰδοὺ ἔγνων ὅτι θεός μου εἶ σύ.
56:9
Then my enemies will retreat on the day I cry for help. By this I will know that God is on my side.
ἐπὶ τῷ θεῷ αἰνέσω ῥῆμα, ἐπὶ τῷ θεῷ αἰνέσω λόγον.
56:10
In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,
ἐπὶ τῷ θεῷ ἤλπισα, οὐ φοβηθήσομαι τί ποιήσει μοι ἄνθρωπος.
56:11
in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
ἐν ἐμοί, ὁ θεός, αἱ εὐχαὶ ἃς ἀποδώσω αἰνέσεως·
56:12
Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.
ὅτι ἐρύσω τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ θανάτου, καὶ τοὺς πόδας μου ἐξ ὀλισθήματος, τοῦ εὐαρεστῆσαι ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν φωτὶ ζώντων.
56:13
For You have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
