1  A Psalm⁴²¹⁰ of David,¹⁷³² to bring to remembrance.²¹⁴² O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ rebuke³¹⁹⁸ me not⁴⁰⁸ in thy wrath:⁷¹¹⁰ neither chasten³²⁵⁶ me in thy hot displeasure.²⁵³⁴

2  For³⁵⁸⁸ thine arrows²⁶⁷¹ stick fast⁵¹⁸¹ in me, and thy hand³⁰²⁷ presseth me sore.^{5181 5921}

3  There is no³⁶⁹ soundness⁴⁹⁷⁴ in my flesh¹³²⁰ because^{4480 6440} of thine anger;²¹⁹⁵ neither³⁶⁹ is there any rest⁷⁹⁶⁵ in my bones⁶¹⁰⁶ because^{4480 6440} of my sin.²⁴⁰³

4  For³⁵⁸⁸ mine iniquities⁵⁷⁷¹ are gone over⁵⁶⁷⁴ mine head:⁷²¹⁸ as a heavy³⁵¹⁵ burden⁴⁸⁵³ they are too heavy³⁵¹³ for⁴⁴⁸⁰ me.

5  My wounds²²⁵⁰ stink⁸⁸⁷ and are corrupt⁴⁷⁴³ because^{4480 6440} of my foolishness.²⁰⁰

6  I am troubled;⁵⁷⁵³ I am bowed down⁷⁸¹⁷ greatly;^{5704 3966} I go¹⁹⁸⁰ mourning⁶⁹³⁷ all³⁶⁰⁵ the day³¹¹⁷ long.

7  For³⁵⁸⁸ my loins³⁶⁸⁹ are filled⁴³⁹⁰ with a loathsome⁷⁰³³ disease: and there is no³⁶⁹ soundness⁴⁹⁷⁴ in my flesh.¹³²⁰

8  I am feeble⁶³¹³ and sore^{5704 3966} broken:¹⁷⁹⁴ I have roared⁷⁵⁸⁰ by reason of the disquietness^{4480 5100} of my heart.³⁸²⁰

9  Lord,¹³⁶ all³⁶⁰⁵ my desire⁸³⁷⁸ is before⁵⁰⁴⁸ thee; and my groaning⁵⁸⁵ is not³⁸⁰⁸ hid⁵⁶⁴¹ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ thee.

10  My heart³⁸²⁰ panteth,⁵⁵⁰³ my strength³⁵⁸¹ faileth⁵⁸⁰⁰ me: as for the light²¹⁶ of mine eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ it¹⁹⁹² also¹⁵⁷¹ is gone³⁶⁹ from⁸⁵⁴ me.

11  My lovers¹⁵⁷ and my friends⁷⁴⁵³ stand aloof⁵⁹⁷⁵ from my sore;^{4480 5048 5061} and my kinsmen⁷¹³⁸ stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ afar off.^{4480 7350}

12  They also that seek after¹²⁴⁵ my life⁵³¹⁵ lay snares⁵³⁶⁷ for me: and they that seek¹⁸⁷⁵ my hurt⁷⁴⁵¹ speak¹⁶⁹⁶ mischievous things,¹⁹⁴² and imagine¹⁸⁹⁷ deceits⁴⁸²⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ the day³¹¹⁷ long.

13  But I,⁵⁸⁹ as a deaf²⁷⁹⁵ man, heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ not;³⁸⁰⁸ and I was as a dumb man⁴⁸³ that openeth⁶⁶⁰⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ his mouth.⁶³¹⁰

14  Thus I was¹⁹⁶¹ as a man³⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ heareth⁸⁰⁸⁵ not,³⁸⁰⁸ and in whose mouth⁶³¹⁰ are no³⁶⁹ reproofs.⁸⁴³³

15  For³⁵⁸⁸ in thee, O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ do I hope:³¹⁷⁶ thou⁸⁵⁹ wilt hear,⁶⁰³⁰ O Lord¹³⁶ my God.⁴³⁰

16  For³⁵⁸⁸ I said,⁵⁵⁹ Hear me, lest⁶⁴³⁵ otherwise they should rejoice⁸⁰⁵⁵ over me: when my foot⁷²⁷² slippeth,⁴¹³¹ they magnify¹⁴³¹ themselves against⁵⁹²¹ me.

17  For³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ am ready³⁵⁵⁹ to halt,⁶⁷⁶¹ and my sorrow⁴³⁴¹ is continually⁸⁵⁴⁸ before⁵⁰⁴⁸ me.

18  For³⁵⁸⁸ I will declare⁵⁰⁴⁶ mine iniquity;⁵⁷⁷¹ I will be sorry¹⁶⁷² for my sin.^{4480 2403}

19  But mine enemies³⁴¹ are lively,²⁴¹⁶ and they are strong:⁶¹⁰⁵ and they that hate⁸¹³⁰ me wrongfully⁸²⁶⁷ are multiplied.⁷²³¹

20  They also that render⁷⁹⁹⁹ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ for⁸⁴⁷⁸ good²⁸⁹⁶ are mine adversaries;⁷⁸⁵³ because⁸⁴⁷⁸ I follow⁷²⁹¹ the thing that good²⁸⁹⁶ is.

21  Forsake⁵⁸⁰⁰ me not,⁴⁰⁸ O LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ O my God,⁴³⁰ be not⁴⁰⁸ far⁷³⁶⁸ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ me.

22  Make haste²³⁶³ to help⁵⁸³³ me, O Lord¹³⁶ my salvation.⁸⁶⁶⁸

1 εἰς τὸ τέλος τῷ Ιδιθουν ᾠδὴ τῷ Δαυιδ

2 εἶπα φυλάξω τὰς ὁδούς μου τοῦ μὴ ἁμαρτάνειν ἐν γλώσσῃ μου ἐθέμην τῷ στόματί μου φυλακὴν ἐν τῷ συστῆναι τὸν ἁμαρτωλὸν ἐναντίον μου

3 ἐκωφώθην καὶ ἐταπεινώθην καὶ ἐσίγησα ἐξ ἀγαθῶν καὶ τὸ ἄλγημά μου ἀνεκαινίσθη

4 ἐθερμάνθη ἡ καρδία μου ἐντός μου καὶ ἐν τῇ μελέτῃ μου ἐκκαυθήσεται πῦρ ἐλάλησα ἐν γλώσσῃ μου

5 γνώρισόν μοι κύριε τὸ πέρας μου καὶ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἡμερῶν μου τίς ἐστιν ἵνα γνῶ τί ὑστερῶ ἐγώ

6 ἰδοὺ παλαιστὰς ἔθου τὰς ἡμέρας μου καὶ ἡ ὑπόστασίς μου ὡσεὶ οὐθὲν ἐνώπιόν σου πλὴν τὰ σύμπαντα ματαιότης πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ζῶν διάψαλμα

7 μέντοιγε ἐν εἰκόνι διαπορεύεται ἄνθρωπος πλὴν μάτην ταράσσονται θησαυρίζει καὶ οὐ γινώσκει τίνι συνάξει αὐτά

8 καὶ νῦν τίς ἡ ὑπομονή μου οὐχὶ ὁ κύριος καὶ ἡ ὑπόστασίς μου παρὰ σοῦ ἐστιν

9 ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἀνομιῶν μου ῥῦσαί με ὄνειδος ἄφρονι ἔδωκάς με

10 ἐκωφώθην καὶ οὐκ ἤνοιξα τὸ στόμα μου ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ ποιήσας με

11 ἀπόστησον ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ τὰς μάστιγάς σου ἀπὸ τῆς ἰσχύος τῆς χειρός σου ἐγὼ ἐξέλιπον

12 ἐν ἐλεγμοῖς ὑπὲρ ἀνομίας ἐπαίδευσας ἄνθρωπον καὶ ἐξέτηξας ὡς ἀράχνην τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ πλὴν μάτην ταράσσεται πᾶς ἄνθρωπος διάψαλμα

13 εἰσάκουσον τῆς προσευχῆς μου κύριε καὶ τῆς δεήσεώς μου ἐνώτισαι τῶν δακρύων μου μὴ παρασιωπήσῃς ὅτι πάροικος ἐγώ εἰμι παρὰ σοὶ καὶ παρεπίδημος καθὼς πάντες οἱ πατέρες μου

14 ἄνες μοι ἵνα ἀναψύξω πρὸ τοῦ με ἀπελθεῖν καὶ οὐκέτι μὴ ὑπάρξω

1 In finem, ipsi Idithun. Canticum David.

2 [Dixi: Custodiam vias meas:
ut non delinquam in lingua mea.
Posui ori meo custodiam,
cum consisteret peccator adversum me.

3 Obmutui, et humiliatus sum, et silui a bonis;
et dolor meus renovatus est.

4 Concaluit cor meum intra me;
et in meditatione mea exardescet ignis.

5 Locutus sum in lingua mea:
Notum fac mihi, Domine, finem meum,
et numerum dierum meorum quis est,
ut sciam quid desit mihi.

6 Ecce mensurabiles posuisti dies meos,
et substantia mea tamquam nihilum ante te.
Verumtamen universa vanitas, omnis homo vivens.

7 Verumtamen in imagine pertransit homo;
sed et frustra conturbatur:
thesaurizat, et ignorat cui congregabit ea.

8 Et nunc quæ est exspectatio mea: nonne Dominus?
et substantia mea apud te est.

9 Ab omnibus iniquitatibus meis erue me:
opprobrium insipienti dedisti me.

10 Obmutui, et non aperui os meum,
quoniam tu fecisti;

11 amove a me plagas tuas.

12 A fortitudine manus tuæ ego defeci in increpationibus:
propter iniquitatem corripuisti hominem.
Et tabescere fecisti sicut araneam animam ejus:
verumtamen vane conturbatur omnis homo.

13 Exaudi orationem meam, Domine, et deprecationem meam;
auribus percipe lacrimas meas.
Ne sileas, quoniam advena ego sum apud te,
et peregrinus sicut omnes patres mei.

14 Remitte mihi, ut refrigerer
priusquam abeam et amplius non ero.]
