Dialogue with Trypho 98.5 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 2:114

Διεμερίσαντο τὰ ἱμάτιά μου ἑαυτοῖς, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ἱματισμόν μου ἔβαλον κλῆρον. Σὺ δέ, κύριε, μὴ μακρύνῃς τὴν βοήθειάν σου ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ· εἰς τὴν ἀντίληψίν μου πρόσχες. Ῥῦσαι ἀπὸ ῥομφαίας τὴν ψυχήν μου καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς κυνὸς τὴν μονογενῆ μου· σῶσόν με ἐκ στόματος λέοντος καὶ ἀπὸ κεράτων μονοκερώτων τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου. Διηγήσομαι τὸ ὄνομά σου τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς μου, ἐν μέσῳ ἐκκλησίας ὑμνήσω σε. Οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον αἰνέσατε αὐτόν, ἅπαν τὸ σπέρμα Ἰακὼβ δοξάσατε αὐτόν, φοβηθήτωσαν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ ἅπαν τὸ σπέρμα Ἰσραήλ.

English · Claude translation

“‘They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots. But you, Lord, do not keep your help far from me; attend to my support. Deliver my soul from the sword, and my only one from the hand of the dog; save me from the lion's mouth, and my lowliness from the horns of the unicorns. I will declare your name to my brothers; in the midst of the assembly I will sing your praise. You who fear the Lord, praise him; all the seed of Jacob, glorify him; let all the seed of Israel fear him.’”
