Psalm 35

1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος· τῷ δούλῳ Κυρίου τῷ Δαυΐδ.

1 (36) For the end, by David the servant of the Lord. The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, [that] there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 ΦΗΣΙΝ ὁ παράνομος τοῦ ἁμαρτάνειν ἐν ἑαυτῷ, οὐκ ἔστι φόβος Θεοῦ ἀπέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ·

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

3 ὅτι ἐδόλωσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ τοῦ εὑρεῖν τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ μισῆσαι.

3 For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it. (verse 2 in Brenton's English)

4 τὰ ρήματα τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἀνομία καὶ δόλος, οὐκ ἠβουλήθη συνιέναι τοῦ ἀγαθῦναι·

4 The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] to do good. (verse 3 in Brenton's English)

5 ἀνομίαν διελογίσατο ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης αὐτοῦ, παρέστη πάσῃ ὁδῷ οὐκ ἀγαθῇ, κακίᾳ δὲ οὐ προσώχθισε.

5 He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil. (verse 4 in Brenton's English)

6 Κύριε, ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ τὸ ἔλεός σου, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθειά σου ἕως τῶν νεφελῶν·

6 O Lord, your mercy is in the heaven; and your truth [reaches] to the clouds. (verse 5 in Brenton's English)

7 ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου ὡς ὄρη Θεοῦ, τὰ κρίματά σου ὡσεὶ ἄβυσσος πολλή· ἀνθρώπους καὶ κτήνη σώσεις, Κύριε.

7 Your righteousness is as the mountains of God, your judgements are as a great deep: O Lord, you will preserve men and beasts. (verse 6 in Brenton's English)

8 ὡς ἐπλήθυνας τὸ ἔλεός σου, ὁ Θεός· οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐν σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύγων σου ἐλπιοῦσι.

8 How have you multiplied your mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of your wings. (verse 7 in Brenton's English)

9 μεθυσθήσονται ἀπὸ πιότητος οἴκου σου, καὶ τὸν χειμάρρουν τῆς τρυφῆς σου ποτιεῖς αὐτούς·

9 They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall cause them to drink of the full stream of your delights. (verse 8 in Brenton's English)

10 ὅτι παρὰ σοὶ πηγὴ ζωῆς, ἐν τῷ φωτί σου ὀψόμεθα φῶς.

10 For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we shall see light. (verse 9 in Brenton's English)

11 παράτεινον τὸ ἔλεός σου τοῖς γινώσκουσί σε καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου τοῖς εὐθέσι τῇ καρδίᾳ.

11 Extend your mercy to them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart. (verse 10 in Brenton's English)

12 μὴ ἐλθέτω μοι ποὺς ὑπερηφανίας, καὶ χεὶρ ἁμαρτωλοῦ μὴ σαλεύσαι με.

12 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me. (verse 11 in Brenton's English)

13 ἐκεῖ ἔπεσον πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν, ἐξώσθησαν καὶ οὐ μὴ δύνωνται στῆναι.

13 There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand. (verse 12 in Brenton's English)
