Psalms 59

1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος, τοῖς ἀλλοιωθησομένοις ἔτι, εἰς στηλογραφίαν τῷ Δαυὶδ εἰς διδαχὴν,

2 ὁπότε ἐνεπύρισε τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν Συρίας, καὶ τὴν Συρίαν Σοβὰλ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν Ἰωὰβ, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὴν φάραγγα τῶν ἁλῶν, δώδεκα χιλιάδας.

3 Ὁ Θεὸς ἀπώσω ἡμᾶς καὶ καθεῖλες ἡμᾶς, ὠργίσθης καὶ ᾠκτείρησας ἡμᾶς.

4 Συνέσεισας τὴν γῆν καὶ συνετάραξας αὐτὴν, ἴασαι τὰ συντρίμματα αὐτῆς, ὅτι ἐσαλεύθη.

5 Ἔδειξας τῷ λαῷ σου σκληρὰ, ἐπότισας ἡμᾶς οἶνον κατανύξεως.

6 Ἔδωκας τοῖς φοβουμένοις σε σημείωσιν, τοῦ φυγεῖν ἀπὸ προσώπου τόξον· διάψαλμα.

7 Ὅπως ἂν ῥυσθῶσιν οἱ ἀγαπητοί σου, σῶσον τῇ δεξιᾷ σου καὶ ἐπάκουσόν μου.

8 Ὁ Θεὸς ἐλάλησεν ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ, ἀγαλλιάσομαι καὶ διαμεριῶ Σίκιμα, καὶ τὴν κοιλάδα τῶν σκηνῶν διαμετρήσω.

9 Ἐμός ἐστι Γαλαὰδ, καὶ ἐμός ἐστι Μανασσῆ, καὶ Ἐφραὶμ κραταίωσις τῆς κεφαλῆς μου· Ἰούδας βασιλεύς μου,

10 Μωὰβ λέβης τῆς ἐλπίδος μου, ἐπὶ τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν ἐκτενῶ τὸ ὑπόδημά μου, ἐμοὶ ἀλλόφυλοι ὑπετάγησαν.

11 Τίς ἀπάξει με εἰς πόλιν περιοχῆς; τίς ὁδηγήσει με ἕως τῆς Ἰδουμαίας;

12 Οὐχὶ σὺ ὁ Θεὸς, ὁ ἀπωσάμενος ἡμᾶς; καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεύσῃ, ὁ Θεὸς ἐν ταῖς δυνάμεσιν ἡμῶν;

13 Δὸς ἡμῖν βοήθειαν ἐκ θλίψεως, καὶ ματαία σωτηρία ἀνθρώπου.

14 Ἐν τῷ Θεῷ ποιήσομεν δύναμιν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξουδενώσει τοὺς θλίβοντας ἡμᾶς.

1 For the end, for them that shall yet be changed; for an inscription by David for instruction,

2 when he had burned Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Sobal, and Joab had returned and smitten in the valley of salt twelve thousand.

3 O God, thou hast rejected and destroyed us; thou hast been angry, yet hast pitied us.

4 Thou hast shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.

5 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things: thou hast made us drink the wine of astonishment.

6 Thou hast given a token to them that fear thee, that they might flee from the bow. Pause.

7 That thy beloved ones may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.

8 God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents.

9 Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head;

strengthening.

10 Judas is my king; Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.

11 Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far as Idumea?

12 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our forces?

13 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.

14 In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nought them that harass us.

work power.
