Psalms 12

εἰς τὸ τέλος ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ

For the end, a Psalm of David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me? forever? How long wilt thou turn away thy face from me?

ἕως πότε κύριε ἐπιλήσῃ μου εἰς τέλος ἕως πότε ἀποστρέψεις τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrows in my heart daily? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

ἕως τίνος θήσομαι βουλὰς ἐν ψυχῇ μου ὀδύνας ἐν καρδίᾳ μου ἡμέρας ἕως πότε ὑψωθήσεται ὁ ἐχθρός μου ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ

Look on me, hearken to me, O Lord my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death;

ἐπίβλεψον εἰσάκουσόν μου κύριε ὁ θεός μου φώτισον τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου μήποτε ὑπνώσω εἰς θάνατον

Lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: My persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.

μήποτε εἴπῃ ὁ ἐχθρός μου ἴσχυσα πρὸς αὐτόν οἱ θλίβοντές με ἀγαλλιάσονται ἐὰν σαλευθῶ

But I have hoped in thy mercy; My heart shall exult in thy salvation.

ἐγὼ δὲ ἐπὶ τῷ ἐλέει σου ἤλπισα ἀγαλλιάσεται ἡ καρδία μου ἐπὶ τῷ σωτηρίῳ σου ᾄσω τῷ κυρίῳ τῷ εὐεργετήσαντί με καὶ ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ ὑψίστου

I will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, And I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.
