HOLY BIBLE: Psalm 17 (original) (raw)

6 ἐγὼ ἐκέκραξα ὅτι ἐπήκουσάς μου ὁ θεός κλῖνον τὸ οὖς σου ἐμοὶ καὶ εἰσάκουσον τῶν ῥημάτων μου 7 θαυμάστωσον τὰ ἐλέη σου ὁ σῴζων τοὺς ἐλπίζοντας ἐπὶ σὲ ἐκ τῶν ἀνθεστηκότων τῇ δεξιᾷ σου 8 φύλαξόν με ὡς κόραν ὀφθαλμοῦ ἐν σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύγων σου σκεπάσεις με 9 ἀπὸ προσώπου ἀσεβῶν τῶν ταλαιπωρησάντων με οἱ ἐχθροί μου τὴν ψυχήν μου περιέσχον 10 τὸ στέαρ αὐτῶν συνέκλεισαν τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν ἐλάλησεν ὑπερηφανίαν 11 ἐκβάλλοντές με νυνὶ περιεκύκλωσάν με τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν ἔθεντο ἐκκλῖναι ἐν τῇ γῇ 12 ὑπέλαβόν με ὡσεὶ λέων ἕτοιμος εἰς θήραν καὶ ὡσεὶ σκύμνος οἰκῶν ἐν ἀποκρύφοις

6 And now I cry to thee, the God who ever hearest me; turn thy ear towards me, and listen to my plea. 7 Thy mercy, thy signal mercy shew; none ever sought sanctuary at thy right hand in vain. 8 Protect me as thou wouldst the apple of thy own eye; hide me under the shelter of thy wings, 9 safe from the evil-doers who wrong me.

See how my enemies close about me mercilessly, 10 their hearts shut to pity, a boast on their lips! 11 Even now their stealthy tread closes in on me, as they watch their opportunity to bring me down; 12 treacherous as a lion that is eager for its prey, a young lion that waits hidden in its lair.

6
Ego clamavi, quoniam exaudisti me, Deus;
inclina aurem tuam mihi, et exaudi verba mea. 7
Mirifica misericordias tuas,
qui salvos facis sperantes in te. 8
A resistentibus dexteræ tuæ custodi me
ut pupillam oculi.
Sub umbra alarum tuarum protege me 9
a facie impiorum qui me afflixerunt.
Inimici mei animam meam circumdederunt; 10
adipem suum concluserunt:
os eorum locutum est superbiam. 11
Projicientes me nunc circumdederunt me;
oculos suos statuerunt declinare in terram. 12
Susceperunt me sicut leo paratus ad prædam,
et sicut catulus leonis habitans in abditis.
