1
ThomsonO GOD, who can be compared to Thee? Keep not silence nor be still, O God.
BrentonFor the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core, concerning the wine-presses.
GreekΕἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῶν ληνῶν τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορὲ ψαλμός.
2
ThomsonFor lo! Thine enemies are become noisy; and they who hate Thee have raised their heads.
BrentonHow amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
GreekὩς ἀγαπητὰ τὰ σκηνώματά σου Κύριε τῶν δυνάμεων.
3
ThomsonAgainst Thy people they have taken crafty counsel. And consulted against Thy holies.
BrentonMy soul longs, and faints for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh have exulted in the living God.
GreekἘπιποθεῖ καὶ ἐκλείπει ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὰς αὐλὰς τοῦ Κυρίου· ἡ καρδία μου καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου ἠγαλλιάσαντο ἐπὶ Θεὸν ζῶντα·
4
ThomsonCome, said they, let us cut them off from being a nation: and let the name of Israel be no more remembered.
BrentonYea, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
GreekΚαὶ γὰρ στρουθίον εὗρεν ἑαυτῷ οἰκίαν, καὶ τρυγὼν νοσσιὰν ἑαυτῇ, οὗ θήσει τὰ νοσσία ἑαυτῆς· τὰ θυσιαστήριά σου Κύριε τῶν δυνάμεων, ὁ βασιλεύς μου καὶ ὁ Θεός μου.
5
ThomsonFor with this intent they consulted in concert. Against Thee have entered into conspiracy
BrentonBlessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will praise thee evermore. Pause.
GreekΜακάριοι οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου, εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων αἰνέσουσί σε· διάψαλμα.
6
Thomsonthe hordes of the Idumeans and the Ismaelites, Moab and the Agarenians;
BrentonBlessed is the man whose help is of thee, O Lord; in his heart he has purposed to go up
GreekΜακάριος ἀνὴρ οὗ ἐστιν ἡ ἀντίληψις αὐτοῦ παρὰ σοῦ, Κύριε· ἀναβάσεις ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ διέθετο,
7
ThomsonGebal and Ammon and Amalek, and the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre.
Brentonthe valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for there the law-giver will grant blessings.
Greekεἰς τὴν κοιλάδα τοῦ κλαυθμῶνος, εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν ἔθετο· καὶ γὰρ εὐλογίας δώσει ὁ νομοθετῶν,
8
ThomsonAssur also is joined with them: they are come to the assistance of the children of Lot.
BrentonThey shall go from strength to strength: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.
Greekπορεύσονται ἐκ δυνάμεως εἰς δύναμιν, ὀφθήσεται ὁ Θεὸς τῶν θεῶν ἐν Σιών.
9
ThomsonDo Thou to them as to Madiam and Sisara: as to Jabin at the brook of Kison.
BrentonO Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: hearken, O God of Jacob. Pause.
GreekΚύριε ὁ Θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων, εἰσάκουσον τῆς προσευχῆς μου, ἐνώτισαι ὁ Θεὸς Ἰακώβ· διάψαλμα.
10
ThomsonThey were utterly cut off at Aendor: they became as dung for the ground;
BrentonBehold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
GreekὙπερασπιστὰ ἡμῶν ἴδε ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ χριστοῦ σοῦ.
11
Thomsonmake their chiefs like Oreb and Zeb—all their chiefs like Zebee and Salmana.
BrentonFor one day in thy courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.
GreekὍτι κρείσσων ἡμέρα μία ἐν ταῖς αὐλαῖς σου, ὑπὲρ χιλιάδας· ἐξελεξάμην παραῤῥιπτεῖσθαι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ μᾶλλον ἢ οἰκεῖν με ἐπὶ σκηνώμασιν ἁμαρτωλῶν.
12
ThomsonThey said, Let us possess ourselves of the altar of God.
BrentonFor the Lord loves mercy and truth: God will give grace and glory: the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.
GreekὍτι ἔλεον καὶ ἀλήθειαν ἀγαπᾷ Κύριος, ὁ Θεὸς χάριν καὶ δόξαν δώσει· Κύριος οὐχ ὑστερήσει τὰ ἀγαθὰ τοῖς πορευομένοις ἐν ἀκακίᾳ.
13
ThomsonO my God make them like a whirl—like stubble opposed to wind.
BrentonO Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in thee.
GreekΚύριε τῶν δυνάμεων, μακάριος ἄνθρωπος ὁ ἐλπίζων ἐπὶ σέ.
