Psalms 62

ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τῆς Ιουδαίας

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Edom.

ὁ θεὸς ὁ θεός μου πρὸς σὲ ὀρθρίζω ἐδίψησέν σοι ἡ ψυχή μου ποσαπλῶς σοι ἡ σάρξ μου ἐν γῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ ἀβάτῳ καὶ ἀνύδρῳ

O God, my God, I cry to thee early; My soul has thirsted for thee: How often has my flesh longed after thee, In a barren and trackless and dry land!

οὕτως ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ ὤφθην σοι τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὴν δύναμίν σου καὶ τὴν δόξαν σου

Thus have I appeared before thee in the sanctuary, That I might see thy power and thy glory.

ὅτι κρεῖσσον τὸ ἔλεός σου ὑπὲρ ζωάς τὰ χείλη μου ἐπαινέσουσίν σε

For thy mercy is better than life: My lips shall praise thee.

οὕτως εὐλογήσω σε ἐν τῇ ζωῇ μου ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἀρῶ τὰς χεῖράς μου

Thus will I bless thee during my life: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

ὡσεὶ στέατος καὶ πιότητος ἐμπλησθείη ἡ ψυχή μου καὶ χείλη ἀγαλλιάσεως αἰνέσει τὸ στόμα μου

Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; And my joyful lips shall praise thy name.

εἰ ἐμνημόνευόν σου ἐπὶ τῆς στρωμνῆς μου ἐν τοῖς ὄρθροις ἐμελέτων εἰς σέ

Forasmuch as I have remembered thee on my bed: In the early seasons I have meditated on thee.

ὅτι ἐγενήθης βοηθός μου καὶ ἐν τῇ σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύγων σου ἀγαλλιάσομαι

For thou hast been my helper, And in the shelter of thy wings will I rejoice.

ἐκολλήθη ἡ ψυχή μου ὀπίσω σου ἐμοῦ ἀντελάβετο ἡ δεξιά σου

My soul has kept very close behind thee: Thy right hand has upheld me.

αὐτοὶ δὲ εἰς μάτην ἐζήτησαν τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὰ κατώτατα τῆς γῆς

But they vainly sought after my soul; They shall go into the lowest parts of the earth.

παραδοθήσονται εἰς χεῖρας ῥομφαίας μερίδες ἀλωπέκων ἔσονται

They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; They shall be portions for foxes.

ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς εὐφρανθήσεται ἐπὶ τῷ θεῷ ἐπαινεσθήσεται πᾶς ὁ ὀμνύων ἐν αὐτῷ ὅτι ἐνεφράγη στόμα λαλούντων ἄδικα

But the king shall rejoice in God; Everyone that swears by him shall be praised; For the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
