Psalm 90

1 Αἶνος ᾠδῆς τῷ Δαυΐδ. Ο ΚΑΤΟΙΚΩΝ ἐν βοηθείᾳ τοῦ Ὑψίστου, ἐν σκέπῃ τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ αὐλισθήσεται.

1 (91) Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.

2 ἐρεῖ τῷ Κυρίῳ· ἀντιλήπτωρ μου εἶ καὶ καταφυγή μου, ὁ Θεός μου, καὶ ἐλπιῶ ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν,

2 He shall say to the Lord, You are my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.

3 ὅτι αὐτὸς ρύσεταί σε ἐκ παγίδος θηρευτῶν καὶ ἀπὸ λόγου ταραχώδους.

3 For he shall deliver you from the snare of the hunters, from [every] troublesome matter.

4 ἐν τοῖς μεταφρένοις αὐτοῦ ἐπισκιάσει σοι, καὶ ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτοῦ ἐλπιεῖς· ὅπλῳ κυκλώσει σε ἡ ἀλήθεια αὐτοῦ.

4 He shall overshadow you with his shoulders, and you shall trust under his wings: his truth shall cover you with a shield.

5 οὐ φοβηθήσῃ ἀπὸ φόβου νυκτερινοῦ, ἀπὸ βέλε ἡ ἀλήθμένου ἡμέρας,

5 You shall not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;

6 ἀπὸ πράγματος ἐν σκότει διαπορευομένου, ἀπὸ συμπτώματος καὶ δαιμονίου μεσημβρινοῦ.

6 [nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.

7 πεσεῖται ἐκ τοῦ κλίτους σου χιλιὰς καὶ μυριὰς ἐκ δεξιῶν σου, πρὸς σὲ δὲ οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ·

7 A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.

8 πλὴν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου κατανοήσεις καὶ ἀνταπόδοσιν ἁμαρτωλῶν ὄψει.

8 Only with your eyes shall you observe and see the reward of sinners.

9 ὅτι σύ, Κύριε, ἡ ἐλπίς μου· τὸν Ὓψιστον ἔθου καταφυγήν σου.

9 For you, O Lord, are my hope: you, my soul, have made the Most High your refuge.

10 οὐ προσελεύσεται πρὸς σὲ κακά, καὶ μάστιξ οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ ἐν τῷ σκηνώματί σου.

10 No evils shall come upon you, and no scourge shall draw near to your dwelling.

11 ὅτι τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ ἐντελεῖται περὶ σοῦ τοῦ διαφυλάξαι σε ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς σου·

11 For he shall give his angels charge concerning you, to keep you in all your ways.

12 ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἀροῦσί σε, μήποτε προσκόψῃς πρὸς λίθον τὸν πόδα σου·

12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.

13 ἐπὶ ἀσπίδα καὶ βασιλίσκον ἐπιβήσῃ καὶ καταπατήσεις λέοντα καὶ δράκοντα.

13 You shall tread on the asp and basilisk: and you shall trample on the lion and dragon.

14 ὅτι ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ἤλπισε, καὶ ρύσομαι αὐτόν· σκεπάσω αὐτόν, ὅτι ἔγνω τὸ ὄνομά μου.

14 For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known my name.

15 κεκράξεται πρός με, καὶ ἐπακούσομαι αὐτοῦ, μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ εἰμι ἐν θλίψει· ἐξελοῦμαι αὐτόν, καὶ δοξάσω αὐτόν.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will listen to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.

16 μακρότητα ἡμερῶν ἐμπλήσω αὐτὸν καὶ δείξω αὐτῷ τὸ σωτήριόν μου.

16 I will satisfy him with length of days, and show him my salvation.
