To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults .
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ.
2 Ἐπακούσαι σου κύριος ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως,
ὑπερασπίσαι σου τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θεοῦ Ιακωβ.
3 ἐξαποστείλαι σοι βοήθειαν ἐξ ἁγίου
καὶ ἐκ Σιων ἀντιλάβοιτό σου.
4 μνησθείη πάσης θυσίας σου
καὶ τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμά σου πιανάτω.
διάψαλμα.
5 δῴη σοι κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν σου
καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν βουλήν σου πληρώσαι.
6 ἀγαλλιασόμεθα ἐν τῷ σωτηρίῳ σου
καὶ ἐν ὀνόματι θεοῦ ἡμῶν μεγαλυνθησόμεθα.
πληρώσαι κύριος πάντα τὰ αἰτήματά σου.
7 νῦν ἔγνων ὅτι ἔσωσεν κύριος τὸν χριστὸν αὐτοῦ·
ἐπακούσεται αὐτοῦ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἁγίου αὐτοῦ·
ἐν δυναστείαις ἡ σωτηρία τῆς δεξιᾶς αὐτοῦ.
8 οὗτοι ἐν ἅρμασιν καὶ οὗτοι ἐν ἵπποις,
ἡμεῖς δὲ ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου θεοῦ ἡμῶν μεγαλυνθησόμεθα.
9 αὐτοὶ συνεποδίσθησαν καὶ ἔπεσαν,
ἡμεῖς δὲ ἀνέστημεν καὶ ἀνωρθώθημεν.
10 κύριε, σῶσον τὸν βασιλέα σου
καὶ ἐπάκουσον ἡμῶν ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπικαλεσώμεθά σε.
