| 12 οἱ φίλοι μου καὶ οἱ πλησίον μου ἐξ ἐναντίας μου ἤγγισαν καὶ ἔστησαν καὶ οἱ ἔγγιστά μου ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἔστησαν 13 καὶ ἐξεβιάσαντο οἱ ζητοῦντες τὴν ψυχήν μου καὶ οἱ ζητοῦντες τὰ κακά μοι ἐλάλησαν ματαιότητας καὶ δολιότητας ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐμελέτησαν 14 ἐγὼ δὲ ὡσεὶ κωφὸς οὐκ ἤκουον καὶ ὡσεὶ ἄλαλος οὐκ ἀνοίγων τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ 15 καὶ ἐγενόμην ὡσεὶ ἄνθρωπος οὐκ ἀκούων καὶ οὐκ ἔχων ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ ἐλεγμούς 16 ὅτι ἐπὶ σοί κύριε ἤλπισα σὺ εἰσακούσῃ κύριε ὁ θεός μου 17 ὅτι εἶπα μήποτε ἐπιχαρῶσίν μοι οἱ ἐχθροί μου καὶ ἐν τῷ σαλευθῆναι πόδας μου ἐ{P'} ἐμὲ ἐμεγαλορρημόνησαν 18 ὅτι ἐγὼ εἰς μάστιγας ἕτοιμος καὶ ἡ ἀλγηδών μου ἐνώπιόν μου διὰ παντός 19 ὅτι τὴν ἀνομίαν μου ἐγὼ ἀναγγελῶ καὶ μεριμνήσω ὑπὲρ τῆς ἁμαρτίας μου 20 οἱ δὲ ἐχθροί μου ζῶσιν καὶ κεκραταίωνται ὑπὲρ ἐμέ καὶ ἐπληθύνθησαν οἱ μισοῦντές με ἀδίκως 21 οἱ ἀνταποδιδόντες κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν ἐνδιέβαλλόν με ἐπεὶ κατεδίωκον δικαιοσύνην καὶ ἀπέρριψάν με τὸν ἀγαπητὸν ὡσεὶ νεκρὸν ἐβδελυγμένον 22 μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς με κύριε ὁ θεός μου μὴ ἀποστῇς ἀ{P'} ἐμοῦ 23 πρόσχες εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν μου κύριε τῆς σωτηρίας μου |
12 Friends and neighbours that meet me keep their distance from a doomed man; old companions shun me. 13 Ill-wishers that grudge me life itself lay snares about me, threaten me with ruin; relentlessly their malice plots against me. 14 And I, all the while, am deaf to their threats, dumb before my accusers; 15 mine the unheeding ear, and the tongue that utters no defence. 16 On thee, Lord, my hopes are set; thou, O Lord my God, wilt listen to me. 17 Such is the prayer I make, Do not let my enemies triumph over me, boast of my downfall. 18 Fall full well I may; misery clouds my view; 19 I am ever ready to publish my guilt, ever anxious over my sin. 20 Unprovoked, their malice still prevails; so many that bear me a grudge so wantonly, 21 rewarding good with evil, and for the very rightness of my cause assailing me. 22 Do not fail me, O Lord my God, do not forsake me; 23 hasten to my defence, O Lord, my only refuge. |

Amici mei et proximi mei adversum me appropinquaverunt, et steterunt;
et qui juxta me erant, de longe steterunt:
et vim faciebant qui quærebant animam meam. 13
Et qui inquirebant mala mihi, locuti sunt vanitates,
et dolos tota die meditabantur. 14
Ego autem, tamquam surdus, non audiebam;
et sicut mutus non aperiens os suum. 15
Et factus sum sicut homo non audiens,
et non habens in ore suo redargutiones. 16
Quoniam in te, Domine, speravi;
tu exaudies me, Domine Deus meus. 17
Quia dixi: Nequando supergaudeant mihi inimici mei;
et dum commoventur pedes mei, super me magna locuti sunt. 18
Quoniam ego in flagella paratus sum,
et dolor meus in conspectu meo semper. 19
Quoniam iniquitatem meam annuntiabo,
et cogitabo pro peccato meo. 20
Inimici autem mei vivunt, et confirmati sunt super me:
et multiplicati sunt qui oderunt me inique. 21
Qui retribuunt mala pro bonis detrahebant mihi,
quoniam sequebar bonitatem. 22
Ne derelinquas me, Domine Deus meus;
ne discesseris a me. 23
Intende in adjutorium meum,
Domine Deus salutis meæ. |
