Psalms 7 — 4 originals side by side

Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.
ℹ️ Some verses here have no matching verse in the public-domain translations (the Psalm superscriptions are not numbered verses in the CUV or the WEB). Those verses were translated by this site with AI (Claude), not taken from the WEB.

שִׁגָּי֗וֹן לְדָ֫וִ֥ד אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֥ר לַֽיהֹוָ֑ה עַל־דִּבְרֵי־כ֝֗וּשׁ בֶּן־יְמִינִֽי׃
ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ ὃν ᾖσεν τῷ κυρίῳ ὑπὲρ τῶν λόγων Χουσι υἱοῦ Ιεμενι
Psalmus David, quem cantavit Domino pro verbis Chusi, filii Jemini.
—

7:1
יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהַי בְּךָ֣ חָסִ֑יתִי הוֹשִׁיעֵ֥נִי מִכׇּל־רֹ֝דְפַ֗י וְהַצִּילֵֽנִי׃
κύριε ὁ θεός μου ἐπὶ σοὶ ἤλπισα σῶσόν με ἐκ πάντων τῶν διωκόντων με καὶ ῥῦσαί με
Domine Deus meus, in te speravi ; salvum me fac ex omnibus persequentibus me, et libera me :
መዝሙር ፡ ዘዳዊት ፤ ዘዘመረ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ በእንተ ፡ ነገረ ፡ ኩዝ ፡ ወልደ ፡ አሚናዳብ ። እግዚኦ ፡ አምላክየ ፡ ብከ ፡ ተወከልኩ ፡ ወኢትግድፈኒ ፤ ወአድኅነኒ ፡ እምኵሎሙ ፡ እለ ፡ ሮዱኒ ፡ ወባልሐኒ ።
Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
7:2
פֶּן־יִטְרֹ֣ף כְּאַרְיֵ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י פֹּ֝רֵ֗ק וְאֵ֣ין מַצִּֽיל׃
μήποτε ἁρπάσῃ ὡς λέων τὴν ψυχήν μου μὴ ὄντος λυτρουμένου μηδὲ σῴζοντος
nequando rapiat ut leo animam meam, dum non est qui redimat, neque qui salvum faciat.
ከመ ፡ ኢይምስጥዋ ፡ ከመ ፡ አንበሳ ፡ ለነፍስየ ፤ እንዘ ፡ አልቦ ፡ ዘያድኅን ፡ ወዘይባልሕ ።
lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.
7:3
יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהַי אִם־עָשִׂ֣יתִי זֹ֑את אִֽם־יֶשׁ־עָ֥וֶל בְּכַפָּֽי׃
κύριε ὁ θεός μου εἰ ἐποίησα τοῦτο εἰ ἔστιν ἀδικία ἐν χερσίν μου
Domine Deus meus, si feci istud, si est iniquitas in manibus meis,
እግዚኦ ፡ አምላክየ ፡ እመሰ ፡ ከመዝ ፡ ገበርኩ ፤ ወእመኒቦ ፡ ዐመፃ ፡ ውስተ ፡ እደውየ ።
Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,
7:4
אִם־גָּ֭מַלְתִּי שֽׁוֹלְמִ֥י רָ֑ע וָאֲחַלְּצָ֖ה צֽוֹרְרִ֣י רֵיקָֽם׃
εἰ ἀνταπέδωκα τοῖς ἀνταποδιδοῦσίν μοι κακά ἀποπέσοιν ἄρα ἀπὸ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου κενός
si reddidi retribuentibus mihi mala, decidam merito ab inimicis meis inanis.
ወእመኒ ፡ ፈደይክዎሙ ፡ ለእለ ፡ ይፈድዩኒ ፡ እኩየ ፤ ለያውድቁኒ ፡ ጸላእትየ ፡ ዕራቅየ ።
if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, I have plundered him who without cause was my adversary),
7:5
יִ֥רַדֹּֽף־אוֹיֵ֨ב׀ נַפְשִׁ֡י וְיַשֵּׂ֗ג וְיִרְמֹ֣ס לָאָ֣רֶץ חַיָּ֑י וּכְבוֹדִ֓י׀ לֶעָפָ֖ר יַשְׁכֵּ֣ן סֶֽלָה׃
καταδιώξαι ἄρα ὁ ἐχθρὸς τὴν ψυχήν μου καὶ καταλάβοι καὶ καταπατήσαι εἰς γῆν τὴν ζωήν μου καὶ τὴν δόξαν μου εἰς χοῦν κατασκηνώσαι διάψαλμα
Persequatur inimicus animam meam, et comprehendat ; et conculcet in terra vitam meam, et gloriam meam in pulverem deducat.
ወይዴግና ፡ ፀራዊ ፡ ለነፍስየ ፡ ወይርከባ ፤ ወይኪዳ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ምድር ፡ ለሕይወትየ ። ወያኅስሮ ፡ ውስተ ፡ መሬት ፡ ለክብርየ ።
let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.
7:6
ק֘וּמָ֤ה יְהֹוָ֨ה׀ בְּאַפֶּ֗ךָ הִ֭נָּשֵׂא בְּעַבְר֣וֹת צוֹרְרָ֑י וְע֥וּרָה אֵ֝לַ֗י מִשְׁפָּ֥ט צִוִּֽיתָ׃
ἀνάστηθι κύριε ἐν ὀργῇ σου ὑψώθητι ἐν τοῖς πέρασι τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου ἐξεγέρθητι κύριε ὁ θεός μου ἐν προστάγματι ᾧ ἐνετείλω
Exsurge, Domine, in ira tua, et exaltare in finibus inimicorum meorum : et exsurge, Domine Deus meus, in praecepto quod mandasti,
ተንሥእ ፡ እግዚኦ ፡ በመዐትከ ፤ ወተለዐል ፡ መልዕልቶሙ ፡ ለጸላእትየ ።
Arise, Yahweh, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.
7:7
וַעֲדַ֣ת לְ֭אֻמִּים תְּסֽוֹבְבֶ֑ךָּ וְ֝עָלֶ֗יהָ לַמָּר֥וֹם שֽׁוּבָה׃
καὶ συναγωγὴ λαῶν κυκλώσει σε καὶ ὑπὲρ ταύτης εἰς ὕψος ἐπίστρεψον
et synagoga populorum circumdabit te : et propter hanc in altum regredere :
ተንሥእ ፡ እግዚኦ ፡ አምላክየ ፡ በሥርዐት ፡ ዘአዘዝከ ። ወማኅበረ ፡ አሕዛብኒ ፡ የዐውደከ ፤
Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.
7:8
יְהֹוָה֮ יָדִ֢ין עַ֫מִּ֥ים שׇׁפְטֵ֥נִי יְהֹוָ֑ה כְּצִדְקִ֖י וּכְתֻמִּ֣י עָלָֽי׃
κύριος κρινεῖ λαούς κρῖνόν με κύριε κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἀκακίαν μου ἐπ’ ἐμοί
Dominus judicat populos. Judica me, Domine, secundum justitiam meam, et secundum innocentiam meam super me.
ወበእንተዝ ፡ ተመየጥ ፡ ውስተ ፡ አርያም ። እግዚአብሔር ፡ ይኴንኖሙ ፡ ለአሕዛብ ።
Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.
7:9
יִגְמׇר־נָ֬א רַ֨ע׀ רְשָׁעִים֮ וּתְכוֹנֵ֢ן צַ֫דִּ֥יק וּבֹחֵ֣ן לִ֭בּוֹת וּכְלָי֗וֹת אֱלֹהִ֥ים צַדִּֽיק׃
συντελεσθήτω δὴ πονηρία ἁμαρτωλῶν καὶ κατευθυνεῖς δίκαιον ἐτάζων καρδίας καὶ νεφροὺς ὁ θεός
Consumetur nequitia peccatorum, et diriges justum, scrutans corda et renes, Deus.
ፍታሕ ፡ ሊተ ፡ እግዚኦ ፡ በከመ ፡ ጽድቅከ ፤ ወይኩነኒ ፡ በከመ ፡ የዋሃትየ ።
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.
7:10
מָגִנִּ֥י עַל־אֱלֹהִ֑ים מ֝וֹשִׁ֗יעַ יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃
δικαία ἡ βοήθειά μου παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ σῴζοντος τοὺς εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ
Justum adjutorium meum a Domino, qui salvos facit rectos corde.
የኀልቅ ፡ እከዮሙ ፡ ለኃጥኣን ፤ ወታረትዖሙ ፡ ለጻድቃን ፤ ይፈትን ፡ ልበ ፡ ወኵልያተ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ።
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
7:11
אֱ֭לֹהִים שׁוֹפֵ֣ט צַדִּ֑יק וְ֝אֵ֗ל זֹעֵ֥ם בְּכׇל־יֽוֹם׃
ὁ θεὸς κριτὴς δίκαιος καὶ ἰσχυρὸς καὶ μακρόθυμος μὴ ὀργὴν ἐπάγων καθ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν
Deus judex justus, fortis, et patiens ; numquid irascitur per singulos dies ?
አማን ፡ ይረድአኒ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፤ ዘያድኅኖሙ ፡ ለርቱዓነ ፡ ልብ ።
God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.
7:12
אִם־לֹ֣א יָ֭שׁוּב חַרְבּ֣וֹ יִלְט֑וֹשׁ קַשְׁתּ֥וֹ דָ֝רַ֗ךְ וַֽיְכוֹנְנֶֽהָ׃
ἐὰν μὴ ἐπιστραφῆτε τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ στιλβώσει τὸ τόξον αὐτοῦ ἐνέτεινεν καὶ ἡτοίμασεν αὐτὸ
Nisi conversi fueritis, gladium suum vibrabit ; arcum suum tetendit, et paravit illum.
እግዚአብሔር ፡ መኰንነ ፡ ጽድቅ ፡ ኀያል ፡ ወመስተዐግስ ፤ ወኢያምጽእ ፡ መንሱተ ፡ ኵሎ ፡ አሚረ ።
If a man doesn’t repent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.
7:13
וְ֭לוֹ הֵכִ֣ין כְּלֵי־מָ֑וֶת חִ֝צָּ֗יו לְֽדֹלְקִ֥ים יִפְעָֽל׃
καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ ἡτοίμασεν σκεύη θανάτου τὰ βέλη αὐτοῦ τοῖς καιομένοις ἐξειργάσατο
Et in eo paravit vasa mortis, sagittas suas ardentibus effecit.
ወእመሰ ፡ ኢተመየጥክሙ ፡ ሰይፎ ፡ ይመልኅ ፤ ቀስቶኒ ፡ ወተረ ፡ ወአስተዳለወ ።
He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.
7:14
הִנֵּ֥ה יְחַבֶּל־אָ֑וֶן וְהָרָ֥ה עָ֝מָ֗ל וְיָ֣לַד שָֽׁקֶר׃
ἰδοὺ ὠδίνησεν ἀδικίαν συνέλαβεν πόνον καὶ ἔτεκεν ἀνομίαν
Ecce parturiit injustitiam ; concepit dolorem, et peperit iniquitatem.
ወአስተዳለወ ፡ ቦቱ ፡ ሕምዘ ፡ ዘይቀትል ፤ ወአሕጻሁኒ ፡ ለእለ ፡ ይነዲ ፡ ገብረ ።
Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.
7:15
בּ֣וֹר כָּ֭רָה וַֽיַּחְפְּרֵ֑הוּ וַ֝יִּפֹּ֗ל בְּשַׁ֣חַת יִפְעָֽל׃
λάκκον ὤρυξεν καὶ ἀνέσκαψεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς βόθρον ὃν εἰργάσατο
Lacum aperuit, et effodit eum ; et incidit in foveam quam fecit.
ናሁ ፡ ሐመ ፡ በዐመፃ ፤ ፀንሰ ፡ ጻዕረ ፡ ወወለደ ፡ ኃጢአተ ።
He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.
7:16
יָשׁ֣וּב עֲמָל֣וֹ בְרֹאשׁ֑וֹ וְעַ֥ל קׇ֝דְקֳד֗וֹ חֲמָס֥וֹ יֵרֵֽד׃
ἐπιστρέψει ὁ πόνος αὐτοῦ εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ κορυφὴν αὐτοῦ ἡ ἀδικία αὐτοῦ καταβήσεται
Convertetur dolor ejus in caput ejus, et in verticem ipsius iniquitas ejus descendet.
ግበ ፡ ከረየ ፡ ወደሐየ ፤ ወይወድቅ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ግብ ፡ ዘገብረ ።
The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.
7:17
אוֹדֶ֣ה יְהֹוָ֣ה כְּצִדְק֑וֹ וַ֝אֲזַמְּרָ֗ה שֵֽׁם־יְהֹוָ֥ה עֶלְיֽוֹן׃ {פ}
ἐξομολογήσομαι κυρίῳ κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ καὶ ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ ὑψίστου
Confitebor Domino secundum justitiam ejus, et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.
ወይገብእ ፡ ጻማሁ ፡ ዲበ ፡ ርእሱ ፤ ወትወርድ ፡ ዐመፃሁ ፡ ዲበ ፡ ድማሑ ። እገኒ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ በከመ ፡ ጽድቁ ፤ ወእዜምር ፡ ለስመ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ልዑል ።
