A Song of degrees.
1 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
1 Ὠιδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν.
Ἦρα τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου εἰς τὰ ὄρη
Πόθεν ἥξει ἡ βοήθειά μου;
2 ἡ βοήθειά μου παρὰ κυρίου
τοῦ ποιήσαντος τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν.
3 μὴ δῷς εἰς σάλον τὸν πόδα σου,
μηδὲ νυστάξῃ ὁ φυλάσσων σε.
4 ἰδοὺ οὐ νυστάξει οὐδὲ ὑπνώσει
ὁ φυλάσσων τὸν Ισραηλ.
5 κύριος φυλάξει σε,
κύριος σκέπη σου ἐπὶ χεῖρα δεξιάν σου·
6 ἡμέρας ὁ ἥλιος οὐ συγκαύσει σε
οὐδὲ ἡ σελήνη τὴν νύκτα.
7 κύριος φυλάξει σε ἀπὸ παντὸς κακοῦ,
φυλάξει τὴν ψυχήν σου.
8 κύριος φυλάξει τὴν εἴσοδόν σου καὶ τὴν ἔξοδόν σου
ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος.
