Psalms 85

1 Προσευχὴ τῷ Δαυίδ. Κλίνον Κύριε τὸ οὖς σου, καὶ εἰσάκουσόν μου, ὅτι πτωχὸς καὶ πένης εἰμὶ ἐγώ.

2 Φύλαξον τὴν ψυχήν μου, ὅτι ὅσιός εἰμι· σῶσον τὸν δοῦλόν σου ὁ Θεὸς, τὸν ἐλπίζοντα ἐπὶ σέ.

3 Ἐλέησόν με Κύριε, ὅτι πρὸς σὲ κεκράξομαι ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν.

4 Εὔφρανον τὴν ψυχὴν τοῦ δούλου σου, ὅτι πρὸς σὲ Κύριε ᾖρα τὴν ψυχήν μου.

5 Ὅτι σὺ Κύριε χρηστὸς καὶ ἐπιεικὴς, καὶ πολυέλεος πᾶσι τοῖς ἐπικαλουμένοις σε.

6 Ἐνώτισαι Κύριε τὴν προσευχήν μου, καὶ πρόσχες τῇ φωνῇ τῆς δεήσεώς μου.

7 Ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεώς μου ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σὲ, ὅτι εἰσήκουσάς μου.

8 Οὐκ ἔστιν ὅμοιός σοι ἐν θεοῖς Κύριε, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι κατὰ τὰ ἔργα σου.

9 Πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ὅσα ἐποίησας ἥξουσι, καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν ἐνώπιόν σου Κύριε, καὶ δοξάσουσι τὸ ὄνομά σου,

10 ὅτι μέγας εἶ σὺ, καὶ ποιῶν θαυμάσια, σὺ εἶ ὁ Θεὸς μόνος ὁ μέγας.

11 Ὁδήγησόν με Κύριε ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ σου, καὶ πορεύσομαι ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου· εὐφρανθήτω ἡ καρδία μου, τοῦ φοβεῖσθαι τὸ ὄνομά σου.

12 Ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου, καὶ δοξάσω τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

13 Ὅτι τὸ ἔλεός σου μέγα ἐπʼ ἐμὲ, καὶ ἐῤῥύσω τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐξ ᾅδου κατωτάτου.

14 Ὁ Θεὸς, παράνομοι ἐπανέστησαν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ, καὶ συναγωγὴ κραταιῶν ἐζήτησαν τὴν ψυχήν μου, καὶ οὐ προέθεντό σε ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν.

15 Καὶ σὺ Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς οἰκτίρμων καὶ ἐλεήμων, μακρόθυμος καὶ πολυέλεος καὶ ἀληθινός.

16 Ἐπίβλεψον ἐπʼ ἐμὲ, καὶ ἐλέησόν με, δὸς τὸ κράτος σου τῷ παιδί σου, καὶ σῶσον τὸν υἱὸν τῆς παιδίσκης σου.

17 Ποίησον μετʼ ἐμοῦ σημεῖον εἰς ἀγαθὸν, καὶ ἰδέτωσαν οἱ μισοῦντές με, καὶ αἰσχυνθήτωσαν· ὅτι σὺ Κύριε, ἐβοήθησάς μοι, καὶ παρεκάλεσάς με.

1 A Prayer of David. O Lord, incline thine ear, and hearken to me; for I am poor and needy.

2 Preserve my soul, for I am holy; save thy servant, O God, who hopes in thee.

3 Pity me, O Lord: for to thee will I cry all the day.

4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for to thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.

5 For thou, O Lord, art kind, and gentle; and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.

6 Give ear to my prayer, O Lord; and attend to the voice of my supplication.

7 In the day of my trouble I cried to thee: for thou didst hear me.

8 There is none like to thee, O Lord, among the gods; and there are no works like to thy works.

9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come, and shall worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

10 For thou art great, and doest wonders: thou art the only and the great God.

11 Guide me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice, that I may fear thy name.

12 I will give thee thanks, O Lord my God, with all my heart; and I will glorify thy name for ever.

13 For thy mercy is great toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

14 O God, transgressors have risen up against me, and an assembly of violent men have sought my life; and have not set thee before them.

15 But thou, O Lord God, art compassionate and merciful, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy and true.

16 Look thou upon me, and have mercy upon me: give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

17 Establish with me a token for good; and let them that hate me see it and be ashamed; because thou, O Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me.
