1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος, τῷ Ιδιθουν· ᾠδὴ τῷ Δαυιδ.
2 Εἶπα Φυλάξω τὰς ὁδούς μου τοῦ μὴ ἁμαρτάνειν ἐν γλώσσῃ μου·
ἐθέμην τῷ στόματί μου φυλακὴν
ἐν τῷ συστῆναι τὸν ἁμαρτωλὸν ἐναντίον μου.
3 ἐκωφώθην καὶ ἐταπεινώθην καὶ ἐσίγησα ἐξ ἀγαθῶν,
καὶ τὸ ἄλγημά μου ἀνεκαινίσθη.
4 ἐθερμάνθη ἡ καρδία μου ἐντός μου,
καὶ ἐν τῇ μελέτῃ μου ἐκκαυθήσεται πῦρ.
ἐλάλησα ἐν γλώσσῃ μου
5 Γνώρισόν μοι, κύριε, τὸ πέρας μου
καὶ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἡμερῶν μου, τίς ἐστιν,
ἵνα γνῶ τί ὑστερῶ ἐγώ.
6 ἰδοὺ παλαιστὰς ἔθου τὰς ἡμέρας μου,
καὶ ἡ ὑπόστασίς μου ὡσεὶ οὐθὲν ἐνώπιόν σου·
πλὴν τὰ σύμπαντα ματαιότης, πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ζῶν.
διάψαλμα.
7 μέντοιγε ἐν εἰκόνι διαπορεύεται ἄνθρωπος,
πλὴν μάτην ταράσσονται·
θησαυρίζει καὶ οὐ γινώσκει τίνι συνάξει αὐτά.
8 καὶ νῦν τίς ἡ ὑπομονή μου; οὐχὶ ὁ κύριος;
καὶ ἡ ὑπόστασίς μου παρὰ σοῦ ἐστιν.
9 ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἀνομιῶν μου ῥῦσαί με,
ὄνειδος ἄφρονι ἔδωκάς με.
10 ἐκωφώθην καὶ οὐκ ἤνοιξα τὸ στόμα μου, ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ ποιήσας με.
11 ἀπόστησον ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ τὰς μάστιγάς σου·
ἀπὸ τῆς ἰσχύος τῆς χειρός σου ἐγὼ ἐξέλιπον.
12 ἐν ἐλεγμοῖς ὑπὲρ ἀνομίας ἐπαίδευσας ἄνθρωπον
καὶ ἐξέτηξας ὡς ἀράχνην τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ·
πλὴν μάτην ταράσσεται πᾶς ἄνθρωπος.
διάψαλμα.
13 εἰσάκουσον τῆς προσευχῆς μου, κύριε,
καὶ τῆς δεήσεώς μου ἐνώτισαι·
τῶν δακρύων μου μὴ παρασιωπήσῃς,
ὅτι πάροικος ἐγώ εἰμι παρὰ σοὶ
καὶ παρεπίδημος καθὼς πάντες οἱ πατέρες μου.
14 ἄνες μοι, ἵνα ἀναψύξω
πρὸ τοῦ με ἀπελθεῖν καὶ οὐκέτι μὴ ὑπάρξω.
A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.
1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
9 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
13 But I, as a deaf man , heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
16 For I said, Hear me , lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is .
21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
