Psalms 10

For the end, a Psalm of David. In the Lord I have put my trust: how will ye say to my soul, Flee to the mountains as a sparrow?

Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυὶδ. Ἐπὶ τῷ Κυρίῳ πέποιθα· πῶς ἐρεῖτε τῇ ψυχῇ μου, μεταναστεύου ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη ὡς στρουθίον;

For behold the sinners have bent their bow, they have prepared their arrows for the quiver, to shoot privily at the upright in heart.

Ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐνέτειναν τόξον, ἡτοίμασαν βέλη εἰς φαρέτραν, τοῦ κατατοξεῦσαι ἐν σκοτομήνῃ τοὺς εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ.

For they have pulled down what thou didst frame, but what has the righteous done?

Ὅτι ἃ κατηρτίσω καθεῖλον, ὁ δὲ δίκαιος τί ἐποίησε;

The Lord is in his holy temple, as for the Lord, his throne is in heaven: his eyes look upon the poor, his eyelids try the sons of men.

Κύριος ἐν ναῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ, Κύριος, ἐν οὐρανῷ ὁ θρόνος αὐτοῦ· οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν πένητα ἀποβλέπουσι, τὰ βλέφαρα αὐτοῦ ἐξετάζει τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων·

The Lord tries the righteous and the ungodly: and he that loves unrighteousness hates his own soul.

Κύριος ἐξετάζει τὸν δίκαιον καὶ τὸν ἀσεβῆ, ὁ δὲ ἀγαπῶν ἀδικίαν μισεῖ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχήν.

He shall rain upon sinners snares, fire, and brimstone, and a stormy blast shall be the portion of their cup.

Ἐπιβρέξει ἐπὶ ἁμαρτωλοὺς παγίδας, πῦρ καὶ θεῖον καὶ πνεῦμα καταιγίδος ἡ μερὶς τοῦ ποτηρίου αὐτῶν.

For the Lord is righteous, and loves righteousness; his face beholds uprightness.

Ὅτι δίκαιος Κύριος καὶ δικαιοσύνας ἠγάπησεν, εὐθύτητα εἶδε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ.
