I'd swap the relay.
If that doesn't work, try starting in neutral, or jiggling the gear-shift around when in park or neutral. When I replaced my transmission, I initially had problems starting in Park. I had to really jam the gear-shift up for the switch to provide a good ground.
If that doesn't work, I'd get a multimeter, pull that relay, and start checking for power and grounds at the proper pins.
Because, if I think right, if it was just a bad/weak battery, you would at least get a "click" or it would try to turn over.
