A Psalm of Asaph.
1 The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.
7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.
21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ 2 ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ναθαν τὸν προφήτην, ἡνίκα εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς Βηρσαβεε.
3 Ἐλέησόν με, ὁ θεός, κατὰ τὸ μέγα ἔλεός σου
καὶ κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν σου ἐξάλειψον τὸ ἀνόμημά μου·
4 ἐπὶ πλεῖον πλῦνόν με ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας μου
καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας μου καθάρισόν με.
5 ὅτι τὴν ἀνομίαν μου ἐγὼ γινώσκω,
καὶ ἡ ἁμαρτία μου ἐνώπιόν μού ἐστιν διὰ παντός.
6 σοὶ μόνῳ ἥμαρτον
καὶ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιόν σου ἐποίησα,
ὅπως ἂν δικαιωθῇς ἐν τοῖς λόγοις σου
καὶ νικήσῃς ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαί σε.
7 ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἐν ἀνομίαις συνελήμφθην,
καὶ ἐν ἁμαρτίαις ἐκίσσησέν με ἡ μήτηρ μου.
8 ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἀλήθειαν ἠγάπησας,
τὰ ἄδηλα καὶ τὰ κρύφια τῆς σοφίας σου ἐδήλωσάς μοι.
9 ῥαντιεῖς με ὑσσώπῳ, καὶ καθαρισθήσομαι·
πλυνεῖς με, καὶ ὑπὲρ χιόνα λευκανθήσομαι.
10 ἀκουτιεῖς με ἀγαλλίασιν καὶ εὐφροσύνην·
ἀγαλλιάσονται ὀστᾶ τεταπεινωμένα.
11 ἀπόστρεψον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου
καὶ πάσας τὰς ἀνομίας μου ἐξάλειψον.
12 καρδίαν καθαρὰν κτίσον ἐν ἐμοί, ὁ θεός,
καὶ πνεῦμα εὐθὲς ἐγκαίνισον ἐν τοῖς ἐγκάτοις μου.
13 μὴ ἀπορρίψῃς με ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου
καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιόν σου μὴ ἀντανέλῃς ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ.
14 ἀπόδος μοι τὴν ἀγαλλίασιν τοῦ σωτηρίου σου
καὶ πνεύματι ἡγεμονικῷ στήρισόν με.
15 διδάξω ἀνόμους τὰς ὁδούς σου,
καὶ ἀσεβεῖς ἐπὶ σὲ ἐπιστρέψουσιν.
16 ῥῦσαί με ἐξ αἱμάτων, ὁ θεὸς ὁ θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας μου·
ἀγαλλιάσεται ἡ γλῶσσά μου τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου.
17 κύριε, τὰ χείλη μου ἀνοίξεις,
καὶ τὸ στόμα μου ἀναγγελεῖ τὴν αἴνεσίν σου.
18 ὅτι εἰ ἠθέλησας θυσίαν, ἔδωκα ἄν·
ὁλοκαυτώματα οὐκ εὐδοκήσεις.
19 θυσία τῷ θεῷ πνεῦμα συντετριμμένον,
καρδίαν συντετριμμένην καὶ τεταπεινωμένην ὁ θεὸς οὐκ ἐξουθενώσει.
20 ἀγάθυνον, κύριε, ἐν τῇ εὐδοκίᾳ σου τὴν Σιων,
καὶ οἰκοδομηθήτω τὰ τείχη Ιερουσαλημ·
21 τότε εὐδοκήσεις θυσίαν δικαιοσύνης,
ἀναφορὰν καὶ ὁλοκαυτώματα·
τότε ἀνοίσουσιν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριόν σου μόσχους.
