1 Τῷ Δαυιδ.
Ἀγαλλιᾶσθε, δίκαιοι, ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ·
τοῖς εὐθέσι πρέπει αἴνεσις.
2 ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν κιθάρᾳ,
ἐν ψαλτηρίῳ δεκαχόρδῳ ψάλατε αὐτῷ.
3 ᾄσατε αὐτῷ ᾆσμα καινόν,
καλῶς ψάλατε ἐν ἀλαλαγμῷ.
4 ὅτι εὐθὴς ὁ λόγος τοῦ κυρίου,
καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν πίστει·
5 ἀγαπᾷ ἐλεημοσύνην καὶ κρίσιν,
τοῦ ἐλέους κυρίου πλήρης ἡ γῆ.
6 τῷ λόγῳ τοῦ κυρίου οἱ οὐρανοὶ ἐστερεώθησαν
καὶ τῷ πνεύματι τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐτῶν·
7 συνάγων ὡς ἀσκὸν ὕδατα θαλάσσης,
τιθεὶς ἐν θησαυροῖς ἀβύσσους.
8 φοβηθήτω τὸν κύριον πᾶσα ἡ γῆ,
ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ δὲ σαλευθήτωσαν πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν οἰκουμένην·
9 ὅτι αὐτὸς εἶπεν, καὶ ἐγενήθησαν,
αὐτὸς ἐνετείλατο, καὶ ἐκτίσθησαν.
10 κύριος διασκεδάζει βουλὰς ἐθνῶν,
ἀθετεῖ δὲ λογισμοὺς λαῶν καὶ
ἀθετεῖ βουλὰς ἀρχόντων·
11 ἡ δὲ βουλὴ τοῦ κυρίου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένει,
λογισμοὶ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν.
12 μακάριον τὸ ἔθνος, οὗ ἐστιν κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτοῦ,
λαός, ὃν ἐξελέξατο εἰς κληρονομίαν ἑαυτῷ.
13 ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐπέβλεψεν ὁ κύριος,
εἶδεν πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων·
14 ἐξ ἑτοίμου κατοικητηρίου αὐτοῦ
ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν,
15 ὁ πλάσας κατὰ μόνας τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν,
ὁ συνιεὶς εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν.
16 οὐ σῴζεται βασιλεὺς διὰ πολλὴν δύναμιν,
καὶ γίγας οὐ σωθήσεται ἐν πλήθει ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ·
17 ψευδὴς ἵππος εἰς σωτηρίαν,
ἐν δὲ πλήθει δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ οὐ σωθήσεται.
18 ἰδοὺ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου ἐπὶ τοὺς φοβουμένους αὐτὸν
τοὺς ἐλπίζοντας ἐπὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ
19 ῥύσασθαι ἐκ θανάτου τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν
καὶ διαθρέψαι αὐτοὺς ἐν λιμῷ.
20 ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν ὑπομένει τῷ κυρίῳ,
ὅτι βοηθὸς καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς ἡμῶν ἐστιν·
21 ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ εὐφρανθήσεται ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν,
καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ ἠλπίσαμεν.
22 γένοιτο τὸ ἔλεός σου, κύριε, ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς,
καθάπερ ἠλπίσαμεν ἐπὶ σέ.
A Psalm of David, Maschil.
1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
