For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Coptic English (عن القبطية)
For thou, O God, art my strength: wherefore hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses me?
Greek • يوناني (السبعينية / الأصلية)
Ο Κυριος θελει φυλαξει αυτον και διατηρησει την ζωην αυτου· μακαριος θελει εισθαι επι της γης· και δεν θελεις παραδωσει αυτον εις την επιθυμιαν των εχθρων αυτου.
Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God.
Coptic English (عن القبطية)
Wherefore art thou very sad, O my soul? and wherefore dost thou trouble me? Hope in God; for I will give thanks to him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
Greek • يوناني (السبعينية / الأصلية)
Οι εχθροι μου λεγουσι κακα περι εμου, Ποτε θελει αποθανει, και θελει απολεσθη το ονομα αυτου;
