The Bible Psalms Psalm 19

Psalm 19

Ψαλμοί

Psalm 20 in the Hebrew numbering, which most Western Bibles follow.

1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ.

(20) For the end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you.

2 ΕΠΑΚΟΥΣΑΙ σου Κύριος ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως, ὑπερασπίσαι σου τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἰακώβ.

In the English, this verse is part of verse 1.

3 ἐξαποστείλαι σοι βοήθειαν ἐξ ἁγίου καὶ ἐκ Σιὼν ἀντιλάβοιτό σου.

Send you help from the sanctuary, and aid you out of Sion. (verse 2 in Brenton's English)

4 μνησθείη πάσης θυσίας σου καὶ τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμά σου πιανάτω. (διάψαλμα).

Remember all your sacrifice, and enrich your whole burnt offering. Pause. (verse 3 in Brenton's English)

5 δῴη σοι Κύριος κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν σου καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν βουλήν σου πληρώσαι.

Grant you according to your heart, and fulfil all your desire. (verse 4 in Brenton's English)

6 ἀγαλλιασόμεθα ἐν τῷ σωτηρίῳ σου καὶ ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου Θεοῦ ἡμῶν μεγαλυνθησόμεθα. πληρώσαι Κύριος πάντα τὰ αἰτήματά σου.

We will exult in your salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all your petitions. (verse 5 in Brenton's English)

7 νῦν ἔγνων ὅτι ἔσωσε Κύριος τὸν χριστὸν αὐτοῦ· ἐπακούσεται αὐτοῦ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἁγίου αὐτοῦ· ἐν δυναστείαις ἡ σωτηρία τῆς δεξιᾶς αὐτοῦ.

Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty. (verse 6 in Brenton's English)

8 οὗτοι ἐν ἅρμασι καὶ οὗτοι ἐν ἵπποις, ἡμεῖς δὲ ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου Θεοῦ ἡμῶν μεγαλυνθησόμεθα.

Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in the name of the Lord our God. (verse 7 in Brenton's English)

9 αὐτοὶ συνεποδίσθησαν καὶ ἔπεσαν, ἡμεῖς δὲ ἀνέστημεν καὶ ἀνωρθώθημεν.

They are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright. (verse 8 in Brenton's English)

10 Κύριε, σῶσον τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ἐπάκουσον ἡμῶν, ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπικαλεσώμεθά σε.

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon you. (verse 9 in Brenton's English)
