1
ThomsonO LORD, rebuke me not in Thy wrath; nor chasten me in Thine anger.
BrentonFor the end, a Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth.
GreekΕἰς τὸ τέλος, ἐν ὕμνοις ὑπὲρ τῆς ὀγδόης, ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυίδ.
2
ThomsonPity me, O Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.
BrentonO Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath, neither chasten me in thine anger.
GreekΚύριε, μὴ τῷ θυμῷ σου ἐλέγξῃς με, μηδὲ τῇ ὀργῇ σου παιδεύσῃς με.
3
ThomsonMy soul is troubled exceedingly: but O Lord, for how long?
BrentonPity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.
GreekἘλέησόν με Κύριε, ὅτι ἀσθενής εἰμι· ἴασαί με Κύριε, ὅτι ἐταράχθη τὰ ὀστᾶ μου.
4
ThomsonReturn, O Lord; deliver my soul: save me for Thy mercy’s sake.
BrentonMy soul also is grievously vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
GreekΚαὶ ἡ ψυχή μου ἐταράχθη σφόδρα· καὶ σὺ Κύριε ἕως πότε;
5
ThomsonFor in death none can make mention of Thee. In the mansion of the dead, who can give Thee thanks?
BrentonReturn, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for thy mercy's sake.
GreekἘπίστρεψον Κύριε, ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου· σῶσόν με ἕνεκεν τοῦ ἐλέους σου,
6
ThomsonI am weary with my groaning. Am I every night to bedew my bed and water my couch with my tears?
BrentonFor in death no man remembers thee: and who will give thee thanks in Hades?
Greekὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν τῷ θανάτῳ ὁ μνημονεύων σου, ἐν δὲ τῷ ᾅδῃ τίς ἐξομολογήσεταί σοι;
7
ThomsonMine eye is troubled with indignation: I am grown old among all mine enemies.
BrentonI am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with my tears.
GreekἘκοπίασα ἐν στεναγμῷ μου, λούσω καθʼ ἑκάστην νύκτα τὴν κλίνην μου, ἐν δάκρυσί μου τὴν στρωμνήν μου βρέξω.
8
ThomsonAway from me, all ye workers of iniquity. For the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping—
BrentonMine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.
GreekἘταράχθη ἀπὸ θυμοῦ ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου, ἐπαλαιώθην ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου.
9
Thomsonthe Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my petition.
BrentonDepart from me, all ye that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
GreekἈπόστητε ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν, ὅτι εἰσήκουσε Κύριος τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ κλαυθμοῦ μου.
10
ThomsonLet all mine enemies be shamed and greatly troubled. Let them be turned back and instantly put to shame.
BrentonThe Lord has hearkened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.
GreekΕἰσήκουσε Κύριος τῆς δεήσεώς μου, Κύριος τὴν προσευχήν μου προσεδέξατο.
11
Thomson—
BrentonLet all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.
GreekΑἰσχυνθείησαν καὶ ταραχθείησαν σφόδρα πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί μου, ἐπιστραφείησαν καὶ αἰσχυνθείησαν σφόδρα διὰ τάχους.
