Psalms 91

A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day.

Ψαλμὸς ᾠδῆς εἰς τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ σαββάτου.

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

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

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

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

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

ἐν δεκαχόρδῳ ψαλτηρίῳ, μετʼ ᾠδῆς ἐν κιθάρᾳ.

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

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

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

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

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

Ἀνὴρ ἄφρων οὐ γνώσεται, καὶ ἀσύνετος οὐ συνήσει ταῦτα.

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.

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

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

Σὺ δὲ ὕψιστος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, Κύριε.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Τότε πληθυνθήσονται ἐν γήρει πίονι, καὶ εὐπαθοῦντες ἔσονται

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

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