1 Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τῆς Ιουδαίας.
2 Ὁ θεὸς ὁ θεός μου, πρὸς σὲ ὀρθρίζω·
ἐδίψησέν σοι ἡ ψυχή μου.
ποσαπλῶς σοι ἡ σάρξ μου
ἐν γῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ ἀβάτῳ καὶ ἀνύδρῳ;
3 οὕτως ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ ὤφθην σοι
τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὴν δύναμίν σου καὶ τὴν δόξαν σου.
4 ὅτι κρεῖσσον τὸ ἔλεός σου ὑπὲρ ζωάς·
τὰ χείλη μου ἐπαινέσουσίν σε.
5 οὕτως εὐλογήσω σε ἐν τῇ ζωῇ μου,
ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἀρῶ τὰς χεῖράς μου.
6 ὡσεὶ στέατος καὶ πιότητος ἐμπλησθείη ἡ ψυχή μου,
καὶ χείλη ἀγαλλιάσεως αἰνέσει τὸ στόμα μου.
7 εἰ ἐμνημόνευόν σου ἐπὶ τῆς στρωμνῆς μου,
ἐν τοῖς ὄρθροις ἐμελέτων εἰς σέ·
8 ὅτι ἐγενήθης βοηθός μου,
καὶ ἐν τῇ σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύγων σου ἀγαλλιάσομαι.
9 ἐκολλήθη ἡ ψυχή μου ὀπίσω σου,
ἐμοῦ ἀντελάβετο ἡ δεξιά σου.
10 αὐτοὶ δὲ εἰς μάτην ἐζήτησαν τὴν ψυχήν μου,
εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὰ κατώτατα τῆς γῆς·
11 παραδοθήσονται εἰς χεῖρας ῥομφαίας,
μερίδες ἀλωπέκων ἔσονται.
12 ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς εὐφρανθήσεται ἐπὶ τῷ θεῷ,
ἐπαινεσθήσεται πᾶς ὁ ὀμνύων ἐν αὐτῷ,
ὅτι ἐνεφράγη στόμα λαλούντων ἄδικα.
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them .
11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
