Psalms 91

1 Ψαλμὸς ᾠδῆς εἰς τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ σαββάτου.

2 Ἀγαθὸν τὸ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ψάλλειν τῷ ὀνόματί σου, ὕψιστε·

3 τοῦ ἀναγγέλλειν τοπρωῒ τὸ ἔλεός σου, καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου κατὰ νύκτα,

4 ἐν δεκαχόρδῳ ψαλτηρίῳ, μετʼ ᾠδῆς ἐν κιθάρᾳ.

5 Ὅτι εὔφρανάς με, Κύριε, ἐν τῷ ποιήματί σου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν σου ἀγαλλιάσομαι.

6 Ὡς ἐμεγαλύνθη τὰ ἔργα σου, Κύριε; σφόδρα ἐβαθύνθησαν οἱ διαλογισμοί σου.

7 Ἀνὴρ ἄφρων οὐ γνώσεται, καὶ ἀσύνετος οὐ συνήσει ταῦτα.

8 Ἐν τῷ ἀνατεῖλαι τοὺς ἁμαρτωλοὺς ὡσεὶ χόρτον, καὶ διέκυψαν πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν, ὅπως ἂν ἐξολοθρευθῶσιν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.

9 Σὺ δὲ ὕψιστος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, Κύριε.

10 Ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἐχθροί σου ἀπολοῦνται, καὶ διασκορπισθήσονται πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν.

11 Καὶ ὑψωθήσεται ὡς μονοκέρωτος τὸ κέρας μου, καὶ τὸ γῆράς μου ἐν ἐλέῳ πίονι.

12 Καὶ ἐπεῖδεν ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπανισταμένοις ἐπʼ ἐμὲ πονηρευομένοις ἀκούσεται τὸ οὖς μου.

13 Δίκαιος ὡς φοῖνιξ ἀνθήσει, ὡς ἡ κέδρος ἡ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ πληθυνθήσεται·

14 Πεφυτευμένοι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου, ἐν ταῖς αὐλαῖς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐξανθήσουσι.

15 Τότε πληθυνθήσονται ἐν γήρει πίονι, καὶ εὐπαθοῦντες ἔσονται

16 τοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαι· ὅτι εὐθὴς Κύριος ὁ Θεός μου, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀδικία ἐν αὐτῷ.

1 A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day.

2 It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to thy name, O thou Most High;

3 to proclaim thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth by night,

4 on a psaltery of ten strings, with a song on the harp.

5 For thou, O Lord, hast made me glad with thy work: and in the operations of thy hands will I exult.

6 How have thy works been magnified, O Lord! thy thoughts are very deep.

7 A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.

8 When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; it is that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.

Perhaps, 'come to light'.

9 But thou, O Lord, art most high for ever.

10 For, behold, thine enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

+ for behold thine enemies, O Lord, as in Heb.

11 But my horn shall be exalted as the horn of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.

oil. See Ps. 88. 20.

12 And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.

13 The righteous shall flourish as a palm-tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.

14 They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

15 Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare

fat.

16 that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
