A Song or Psalm of Asaph.
1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῶν ληνῶν· τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορε ψαλμός.
2 Ὡς ἀγαπητὰ τὰ σκηνώματά σου, κύριε τῶν δυνάμεων.
3 ἐπιποθεῖ καὶ ἐκλείπει ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὰς αὐλὰς τοῦ κυρίου,
ἡ καρδία μου καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου ἠγαλλιάσαντο ἐπὶ θεὸν ζῶντα.
4 καὶ γὰρ στρουθίον εὗρεν ἑαυτῷ οἰκίαν
καὶ τρυγὼν νοσσιὰν ἑαυτῇ, οὗ θήσει τὰ νοσσία αὐτῆς,
τὰ θυσιαστήριά σου, κύριε τῶν δυνάμεων,
ὁ βασιλεύς μου καὶ ὁ θεός μου.
5 μακάριοι οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου,
εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων αἰνέσουσίν σε.
διάψαλμα.
6 μακάριος ἀνήρ, οὗ ἐστιν ἡ ἀντίλημψις αὐτοῦ παρὰ σοῦ, κύριε·
ἀναβάσεις ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ διέθετο
7 ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τοῦ κλαυθμῶνος εἰς τόπον, ὃν ἔθετο·
καὶ γὰρ εὐλογίας δώσει ὁ νομοθετῶν.
8 πορεύσονται ἐκ δυνάμεως εἰς δύναμιν,
ὀφθήσεται ὁ θεὸς τῶν θεῶν ἐν Σιων.
9 κύριε ὁ θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων, εἰσάκουσον τῆς προσευχῆς μου
ἐνώτισαι, ὁ θεὸς Ιακωβ.
διάψαλμα.
10 ὑπερασπιστὰ ἡμῶν, ἰδέ, ὁ θεός,
καὶ ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ χριστοῦ σου.
11 ὅτι κρείσσων ἡμέρα μία ἐν ταῖς αὐλαῖς σου ὑπὲρ χιλιάδας·
ἐξελεξάμην παραρριπτεῖσθαι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ θεοῦ
μᾶλλον ἢ οἰκεῖν ἐν σκηνώμασιν ἁμαρτωλῶν.
12 ὅτι ἔλεον καὶ ἀλήθειαν ἀγαπᾷ κύριος ὁ θεός,
χάριν καὶ δόξαν δώσει·
κύριος οὐ στερήσει τὰ ἀγαθὰ τοὺς πορευομένους ἐν ἀκακίᾳ.
13 κύριε τῶν δυνάμεων, μακάριος ἄνθρωπος ὁ ἐλπίζων ἐπὶ σέ.
