Psalm 91

1 Ψαλμὸς ᾠδῆς, εἰς τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ σαββάτου.

1 (92) A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to your name, O you Most High;

2 ΑΓΑΘΟΝ τὸ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ ψάλλειν τῷ ὀνόματί σου, ¨Υψιστε,

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

3 τοῦ ἀναγγέλλειν τῷ πρωΐ τὸ ἔλεός σου καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου κατὰ νύκτα

3 to proclaim your mercy in the morning, and your truth by night, (verse 2 in Brenton's English)

4 ἐν δεκαχόρδῳ ψαλτηρίῳ μετ᾿ ᾠδῆς ἐν κιθάρᾳ.

4 on a lute of ten strings, with a song on the harp. (verse 3 in Brenton's English)

5 ὅτι εὔφρανάς με, Κύριε, ἐν τοῖς ποιήμασί σου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν σου ἀγαλλιάσομαι.

5 For you, O Lord, have made me glad with your work: and in the operations of your hands will I exult. (verse 4 in Brenton's English)

6 ὡς ἐμεγαλύνθη τὰ ἔργα σου Κύριε· σφόδρα ἐβαθύνθησαν οἱ διαλογισμοί σου.

6 How have your works been magnified, O Lord! your thoughts are very deep. (verse 5 in Brenton's English)

7 ἀνὴρ ἄφρων οὐ γνώσεται, καὶ ἀσύνετος οὐ συνήσει ταῦτα.

7 A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this. (verse 6 in Brenton's English)

8 ἐν τῷ ἀνατεῖλαι ἁμαρτωλοὺς ὡσεὶ χόρτον καὶ διέκυψαν πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν, ὅπως ἂν ἐξολοθρευθῶσιν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.

8 When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; [it is] that they may be utterly destroyed for ever. (verse 7 in Brenton's English)

9 σὺ δὲ ¨Υψιστος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, Κύριε·

9 But you, O Lord, are most high for ever. (verse 8 in Brenton's English)

10 ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἐχθροί σου, Κύριε, ἰδοὺ οἱ ἐχθροί σου ἀπολοῦνται, καὶ διασκορπισθήσονται πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν,

10 For, behold, your enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. (verse 9 in Brenton's English)

11 καὶ ὑψωθήσεται ὡς μονοκέρωτος τὸ κέρας μου καὶ τὸ γῆράς μου ἐν ἐλαίῳ πίονι·

11 But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and my old age with rich mercy. (verse 10 in Brenton's English)

12 καὶ ἐπεῖδεν ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπανισταμένοις ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ πονηρευομένοις ἀκούσατε τὸ οὖς μου.

12 And my eye has seen my enemies, and my ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me. (verse 11 in Brenton's English)

13 δίκαιος ὡς φοῖνιξ ἀνθήσει, ὡσεὶ ἡ κέδρος ἡ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ πληθυνθήσεται.

13 The righteous shall flourish as a palm tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus. (verse 12 in Brenton's English)

14 πεφυτευμένοι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου, ἐν ταῖς αὐλαῖς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐξανθήσουσιν·

14 They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. (verse 13 in Brenton's English)

15 ἔτι πληθυνθήσονται ἐν γήρει πίονι καὶ εὐπαθοῦντες ἔσονται τοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαι

15 Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare (verse 14 in Brenton's English)

16 ὅτι εὐθὴς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀδικία ἐν αὐτῷ.

16 that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him. (verse 15 in Brenton's English)
