A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah.
1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.
2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.
7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
1 Ὠιδὴ ψαλμοῦ τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορε· εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ μαελεθ τοῦ ἀποκριθῆναι· συνέσεως Αιμαν τῷ Ισραηλίτῃ.
2 Κύριε ὁ θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας μου,
ἡμέρας ἐκέκραξα καὶ ἐν νυκτὶ ἐναντίον σου·
3 εἰσελθάτω ἐνώπιόν σου ἡ προσευχή μου,
κλῖνον τὸ οὖς σου εἰς τὴν δέησίν μου, κύριε.
4 ὅτι ἐπλήσθη κακῶν ἡ ψυχή μου,
καὶ ἡ ζωή μου τῷ ᾅδῃ ἤγγισεν·
5 προσελογίσθην μετὰ τῶν καταβαινόντων εἰς λάκκον,
ἐγενήθην ὡς ἄνθρωπος ἀβοήθητος ἐν νεκροῖς ἐλεύθερος,
6 ὡσεὶ τραυματίαι ἐρριμμένοι καθεύδοντες ἐν τάφῳ,
ὧν οὐκ ἐμνήσθης ἔτι
καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου ἀπώσθησαν.
7 ἔθεντό με ἐν λάκκῳ κατωτάτῳ,
ἐν σκοτεινοῖς καὶ ἐν σκιᾷ θανάτου.
8 ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ ἐπεστηρίχθη ὁ θυμός σου,
καὶ πάντας τοὺς μετεωρισμούς σου ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ ἐπήγαγες.
διάψαλμα.
9 ἐμάκρυνας τοὺς γνωστούς μου ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ,
ἔθεντό με βδέλυγμα ἑαυτοῖς,
παρεδόθην καὶ οὐκ ἐξεπορευόμην.
10 οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἠσθένησαν ἀπὸ πτωχείας·
ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σέ, κύριε, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν,
διεπέτασα πρὸς σὲ τὰς χεῖράς μου
11 Μὴ τοῖς νεκροῖς ποιήσεις θαυμάσια;
ἢ ἰατροὶ ἀναστήσουσιν, καὶ ἐξομολογήσονταί σοι;
12 μὴ διηγήσεταί τις ἐν τάφῳ τὸ ἔλεός σου
καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου ἐν τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ;
13 μὴ γνωσθήσεται ἐν τῷ σκότει τὰ θαυμάσιά σου
καὶ ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου ἐν γῇ ἐπιλελησμένῃ;
14 κἀγὼ πρὸς σέ, κύριε, ἐκέκραξα,
καὶ τὸ πρωὶ ἡ προσευχή μου προφθάσει σε.
15 ἵνα τί, κύριε, ἀπωθεῖς τὴν ψυχήν μου,
ἀποστρέφεις τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ;
16 πτωχός εἰμι ἐγὼ καὶ ἐν κόποις ἐκ νεότητός μου,
ὑψωθεὶς δὲ ἐταπεινώθην καὶ ἐξηπορήθην.
17 ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ διῆλθον αἱ ὀργαί σου,
καὶ οἱ φοβερισμοί σου ἐξετάραξάν με,
18 ἐκύκλωσάν με ὡς ὕδωρ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν,
περιέσχον με ἅμα.
19 ἐμάκρυνας ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ φίλον καὶ πλησίον
καὶ τοὺς γνωστούς μου ἀπὸ ταλαιπωρίας.
