Mezmurlar 34

¹Davut'un. Ey Rab, bana haksızlık edenleri yargıla, benimle savaşanlarla savaş.

²Kalkanı ve büyük siperi kuşan ve yardımıma yetişmek için ayağa kalk.

³Kılıcını çek ve beni kovalayanların önünü kapa; canıma de ki: "Senin kurtuluşun benim."

⁴Canımı arayanlar utansın ve rezil olsun; bana kötülük tasarlayanlar geri püskürtülsün ve tamamen utanç içinde kalsın.

⁵Rab'bin meleği onları amansızca sıkıştırırken, rüzgarın önündeki toz gibi olsunlar.

⁶Rab'bin meleği onları kovalarken, yolları karanlık ve kaygan olsun.

⁷Çünkü sebepsiz yere benim için tuzaklarının yıkımını gizlediler, boş yere canıma hakaret ettiler.

⁸Bilmediği bir tuzak ansızın üzerine gelsin; gizlediği av tuzağı kendisini yakalasın ve o tuzağın içine kendisi düşsün.

⁹Ama benim canım Rab ile coşacak, O'nun kurtuluşuyla sevinç bulacak.

¹⁰Bütün kemiklerim diyecek ki: "Ey Rab, senin gibisi var mı? Yoksulu kendisinden daha güçlü olanın elinden, yoksulu ve düşkünü onu yağmalayanlardan kurtaran sensin."

¹¹Karşıma adaletsiz şahitler dikildi; bilmediğim şeyleri bana soruyorlardı.

¹²İyiliğe karşı bana kötülük ödediler, canımı mutlak bir kimsesizliğe ittiler.

¹³Oysa onlar bana sıkıntı verirken ben çul kuşandım ve oruçla canımı alçalttım; duam ise kendi koynuma geri dönecek.

¹⁴Bir komşuma, kendi kardeşime davranır gibi dostça davrandım; yas tutan ve yüzü asık biri gibi boyun eğip kendimi alçalttım.

¹⁵Ama onlar benim düşüşüme sevindiler ve toplandılar; bana karşı iftiracılar toplandı, ben ise farkında değildim; beni parçaladılar ve hiç pişmanlık duymadılar.

¹⁶Beni acımasızca sınadılar, küçümseyerek benimle alay ettiler, bana karşı dişlerini gıcırdattılar.

¹⁷Ey Rab, ne zamana dek seyirci kalacaksın? Canımı onların kötülüğünden, biricik hayatımı aslanlardan kurtar.

¹⁸Büyük toplulukta sana şükredeceğim, kalabalık bir halkın içinde seni öveceğim.

¹⁹Bana haksız yere düşman olanlar üzerime sevinmesin; benden sebepsiz yere nefret edip göz kırparak alay edenler sevinç bulmasın.

²⁰Çünkü benimle barışçıl konuşmuyorlardı, öfkeyle hileli tuzaklar tasarlıyorlardı.

²¹Ağızlarını bana karşı ardına kadar açtılar ve "Yaşasın, yaşasın, gözlerimizle gördük!" dediler.

²²Gördün, ey Rab, sessiz kalma; ey Rab, benden uzaklaşma.

²³Uyan, ey Rab, ve yargıma dikkat et; Tanrım ve Rabbim, davama bak.

²⁴Kendi adaletine göre yargıla beni, ey Rab Tanrım, ve üzerime sevinmesinler.

²⁵Yüreklerinde "Yaşasın, canımızın istediği oldu!" demesinler; "Onu yuttuk!" demesinler.

²⁶Başıma gelen kötülüklere sevinenler hep birlikte utansın ve rezil olsun; bana karşı büyüklük taslayanlar utanç ve rezillik kuşansın.

²⁷Benim aklanmamı isteyenler coşsun ve sevinsin; her zaman desinler ki: "Kulunun esenliğini isteyen Rab yüceltilsin!"

²⁸Ve dilim senin adaletini anacak, bütün gün seni övecek.

¹Τῷ Δαυΐδ. - ΔΙΚΑΣΟΝ, Κύριε, τοὺς ἀδικοῦντάς με, πολέμησον τοὺς πολεμοῦντάς με.

²ἐπιλαβοῦ ὅπλου καὶ θυρεοῦ καὶ ἀνάστηθι εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν μου,

³ἔκχεον ῥομφαίαν καὶ σύγκλεισον ἐξ ἐναντίας τῶν καταδιωκόντων με· εἶπον τῇ ψυχῇ μου· Σωτηρία σού εἰμι ἐγώ.

⁴αἰσχυνθήτωσαν καὶ ἐντραπήτωσαν οἱ ζητοῦντες τὴν ψυχήν μου, ἀποστραφήτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω καὶ καταισχυνθήτωσαν οἱ λογιζόμενοί μοι κακά.

⁵γενηθήτωσαν ὡσεὶ χνοῦς κατὰ πρόσωπον ἀνέμου, καὶ ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἐκθλίβων αὐτούς·

⁶γενηθήτω ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτῶν σκότος καὶ ὀλίσθημα, καὶ ἄγγελος Κυρίου καταδιώκων αὐτούς·

⁷ὅτι δωρεὰν ἔκρυψάν μοι διαφθορὰν παγίδος αὐτῶν, μάτην ὠνείδισαν τὴν ψυχήν μου.

⁸ἐλθέτω αὐτῷ παγίς, ἣν οὐ γινώσκει, καὶ ἡ θήρα, ἣν ἔκρυψε, συλλαβέτω αὐτόν, καὶ ἐν τῇ παγίδι πεσεῖται ἐν αὐτῇ.

⁹ἡ δὲ ψυχή μου ἀγαλλιάσεται ἐπὶ τῷ Κυρίῳ, τερφθήσεται ἐπὶ τῷ σωτηρίῳ αὐτοῦ.

¹⁰πάντα τὰ ὀστᾶ μου ἐροῦσι· Κύριε, τίς ὅμοιός σοι; ῥυόμενος πτωχὸν ἐκ χειρὸς στερεωτέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ πτωχὸν καὶ πένητα ἀπὸ τῶν διαρπαζόντων αὐτόν.

¹¹ἀναστάντες μοι μάρτυρες ἄδικοι, ἃ οὐκ ἐγίνωσκον, ἐπηρώτων με.

¹²ἀνταπεδίδοσάν μοι πονηρὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν καὶ ἀτεκνίαν τῇ ψυχῇ μου.

¹³ἐγὼ δὲ ἐν τῷ αὐτοὺς παρενοχλεῖν μοι ἐνεδυόμην σάκκον καὶ ἐταπείνουν ἐν νηστείᾳ τὴν ψυχήν μου, καὶ ἡ προσευχή μου εἰς κόλπον μου ἀποστραφήσεται.

¹⁴ὡς πλησίον, ὡς ἀδελφῷ ἡμετέρῳ οὕτως εὐηρέστουν· ὡς πενθῶν καὶ σκυθρωπάζων, οὕτως ἐταπεινούμην.

¹⁵καὶ κατ᾿ ἐμοῦ εὐφράνθησαν καὶ συνήχθησαν, συνήχθησαν ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ μάστιγες, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνων, διεσχίσθησαν καὶ οὐ κατενύγησαν.

¹⁶ἐπείρασάν με, ἐξεμυκτήρισάν με μυκτηρισμῷ, ἔβρυξαν ἐπ’ ἐμὲ τοὺς ὀδόντας αὐτῶν.

¹⁷Κύριε, πότε ἐπόψῃ; ἀποκατάστησον τὴν ψυχήν μου ἀπὸ τῆς κακουργίας αὐτῶν, ἀπὸ λεόντων τὴν μονογενῆ μου.

¹⁸ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ πολλῇ, ἐν λαῷ βαρεῖ αἰνέσω σε.

¹⁹μὴ ἐπιχαρείησάν μοι οἱ ἐχθραίνοντές μοι ἀδίκως, οἱ μισοῦντες με δωρεὰν καὶ διανεύοντες ὀφθαλμοῖς.

²⁰ὅτι ἐμοὶ μὲν εἰρηνικὰ ἐλάλουν καὶ ἐπ᾿ ὀργὴν δόλους διελογίζοντο.

²¹καὶ ἐπλάτυναν ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν, εἶπαν· εὖγε, εὖγε, εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν.

²²εἶδες, Κύριε, μὴ παρασιωπήσῃς, Κύριε, μὴ ἀποστῇς ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ·

²³ἐξεγέρθητι, Κύριε, καὶ πρόσχες τῇ κρίσει μου, ὁ Θεός μου καὶ ὁ Κύριός μου, εἰς τὴν δίκην μου.

²⁴κρῖνόν με, Κύριε, κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου, Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου, καὶ μὴ ἐπιχαρείησάν μοι.

²⁵μὴ εἴποισαν ἐν καρδίαις αὐτῶν· εὖγε, εὖγε τῇ ψυχῇ ἡμῶν· μηδὲ εἴποιεν· Κατεπίομεν αὐτόν.

²⁶αἰσχυνθείησαν καὶ ἐντραπείησαν ἅμα οἱ ἐπιχαίροντες τοῖς κακοῖς μου, ἐνδυσάσθωσαν αἰσχύνην καὶ ἐντροπὴν οἱ μεγαλοῤῥημονοῦντες ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ.

²⁷ἀγαλλιάσθωσαν καὶ εὐφρανθήτωσαν οἱ θέλοντες τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου καὶ εἰπάτωσαν διαπαντός· μεγαλυνθήτω ὁ Κύριος, οἱ θέλοντες τὴν εἰρήνην τοῦ δούλου αὐτοῦ.

²⁸καὶ ἡ γλῶσσά μου μελετήσει τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν τὸν ἔπαινόν σου.

¹[[A Psalm] of David.] Judge thou, O Lord, them that injure me, fight against them that fight against me.

²Take hold of shield and buckler, and arise for my help.

³Bring forth a sword, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I am thy salvation.

⁴Let them that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame.

⁵Let them be as dust before the wind, and an angel of the Lord afflicting them.

⁶Let their way be dark and slippery, and an angel of the Lord persecuting them.

⁷For without cause they have hid for me their destructive snare: without a cause they have reproached my soul.

⁸Let a snare which they know not come upon them; and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare.

⁹But my soul shall exult in the Lord: it shall delight in his salvation.

¹⁰All my bones shall say, O Lord, who is like to thee? delivering the poor out of the hand of them that are stronger than he, yea, the poor and needy one from them that spoil him.

¹¹Unjust witnesses arose, and asked me of things I knew not.

¹²They rewarded me evil for good, and bereavement to my soul.

¹³But I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth, and humbled my soul with fasting: and my prayer shall return to my [own] bosom.

¹⁴I behaved agreeably towards them as [if it had been] our neighbour [or] brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance.

¹⁵Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew [it] not: they were scattered, but repented not.

¹⁶They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me.

¹⁷O Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, mine only-begotten one from the lions.

¹⁸I will give thanks to thee even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise thee.

¹⁹Let not them that are mine enemies without a cause rejoice against me; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.

²⁰For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in [their] anger.

²¹And they opened wide their mouth upon me; they said Aha, aha, our eyes have seen [it].

²²Thou hast seen [it], O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, withdraw not [thyself] from me.

²³Awake, O Lord, and attend to my judgment, [even] to my cause, my God and my Lord.

²⁴Judge me, O Lord, according to thy righteousness, O Lord my God; and let them not rejoice against me.

²⁵Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, aha, [it is pleasing] to our soul: neither let them say, We have devoured him.

²⁶Let them be confounded and ashamed together that rejoice at my afflictions: let them be clothed with shame and confusion that speak great swelling words against me.

²⁷Let them that rejoice in my righteousness exult and be glad: and let them say continually, The Lord be magnified, who desire the peace of his servant.

²⁸And my tongue shall meditate on thy righteousness, [and] on thy praise all the day.
