Psalm 24

1 Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ. ΠΡΟΣ σέ, Κύριε, ἦρα τὴν ψυχήν μου, ὁ Θεός μου.

1 (25) A Psalm of David. To you, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.

2 ἐπὶ σοὶ πέποιθα· μὴ καταισχυνθείην, μηδὲ καταγελασάτωσάν με οἱ ἐχθροί μου.

2 O my God, I have trusted in you: let me not be confounded, neither let my enemies laugh me to scorn.

3 καὶ γὰρ πάντες οἱ ὑπομένοντές σε οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῶσιν· αἰσχυνθήτωσαν οἱ ἀνομοῦντες διακενῆς.

3 For none of them that wait on you shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.

4 τὰς ὁδούς σου, Κύριε, γνώρισόν μοι, καὶ τὰς τρίβους σου δίδαξόν με.

4 Show me your ways, O Lord; and teach me your paths.

5 ὁδήγησόν με ἐπὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου καὶ δίδαξόν με, ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ σωτήρ μου, καὶ σὲ ὑπέμεινα ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν.

5 Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are God my Saviour: and I have waited on you all the day.

6 μνήσθητι τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν σου, Κύριε, καὶ τὰ ἐλέη σου, ὅτι ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνός εἰσιν.

6 Remember your compassions, O Lord, and your mercies, for they are from everlasting.

7 ἁμαρτίας νεότητός μου καὶ ἀγνοίας μου μὴ μνησθῇς· κατὰ τὸ ἔλεός σου μνήσθητί μου, σύ, ἕνεκεν χρηστότητός σου, Κύριε.

7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor [my sins] of ignorance: remember me according to your mercy, for your goodness' sake, O Lord.

8 χρηστὸς καὶ εὐθὴς ὁ Κύριος· διὰ τοῦτο νομοθετήσει ἁμαρτάνοντας ἐν ὁδῷ.

8 Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he instruct sinners in [the] way.

9 ὁδηγήσει πραεῖς ἐν κρίσει, διδάξει πραεῖς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ.

9 The meek will he guide in judgement: the meek will he teach his ways.

10 πᾶσαι αἱ ὁδοὶ Κυρίου ἔλεος καὶ ἀλήθεια τοῖς ἐκζητοῦσι τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ.

10 All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth to them that seek his covenant and his testimonies.

11 ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου, Κύριε, καὶ ἱλάσῃ τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ μου, πολλὴ γάρ ἐστι.

11 For your name's sake, O Lord, do you also be merciful to my sin; for it is great.

12 τίς ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος ὁ φοβούμενος τὸν Κύριον; νομοθετήσει αὐτῷ ἐν ὁδῷ, ᾗ ᾑρετίσατο.

12 Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.

13 ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγαθοῖς αὐλισθήσεται, καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ κληρονομήσει γῆν.

13 His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

14 κραταίωμα Κύριος τῶν φοβουμένων αὐτόν, καὶ ἡ διαθήκη αὐτοῦ δηλώσει αὐτοῖς.

14 The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest [truth] to them.

15 οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου διὰ παντὸς πρὸς τὸν Κύριον, ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐκσπάσει ἐκ παγίδος τοὺς πόδας μου.

15 My eyes are continually to the Lord; for he shall draw my feet out of the snare.

16 ἐπίβλεψον ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ καὶ ἐλέησόν με, ὅτι μονογενὴς καὶ πτωχός εἰμι ἐγώ.

16 Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor.

17 αἱ θλίψεις τῆς καρδίας μου ἐπληθύνθησαν· ἐκ τῶν ἀναγκῶν μου ἐξάγαγέ με.

17 The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses.

18 ἴδε τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου καὶ τὸν κόπον μου καὶ ἄφες πάσας τὰς ἁμαρτίας μου.

18 Look upon my affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.

19 ἴδε τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου, ὅτι ἐπληθύνθησαν καὶ μῖσος ἄδικον ἐμίσησάν με.

19 Look upon my enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred.

20 φύλαξον τὴν ψυχήν μου καὶ ρῦσαί με· μὴ καταισχυνθείην, ὅτι ἤλπισα ἐπὶ σέ.

20 Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in you.

21 ἄκακοι καὶ εὐθεῖς ἐκολλῶντό μοι, ὅτι ὑπέμεινά σε, Κύριε.

21 The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for you, O Lord.

22 λύτρωσαι, ὁ Θεός, τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν θλίψεων αὐτοῦ.

22 Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions.
