1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῆς κληρονομούσης, ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυίδ.

2 Τὰ ῥήματά μου ἐνώτισαι Κύριε, σύνες τῆς κραυγῆς μου,

3 πρόσχες τῇ φωνῇ τῆς δεήσεώς μου, ὁ βασιλεύς μου καὶ ὁ Θεός μου· ὅτι πρὸς σὲ προσεύξομαι Κύριε,

4 τοπρωῒ εἰσακούσῃ τῆς φωνῆς μου· τοπρωῒ παραστήσομαί σοι, καὶ ἐπόψομαι.

5 Ὅτι οὐχὶ Θεὸς θέλων ἀνομίαν σὺ εἶ· οὐδὲ παροικησει σοι πονηρευόμενος,

6 οὐδὲ διαμενοῦσι παράνομοι κατέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν σου· ἐμίσησας Κύριε πάντας τοὺς ἐργαζομένους τὴν ἀνομίαν,

7 ἀπολεῖς πάντας τοὺς λαλοῦντας τὸ ψεῦδος· ἄνδρα αἱμάτων καὶ δόλιον βδελύσσεται Κύριος.

8 Ἐγὼ δὲ ἐν τῷ πλήθει τοῦ ἐλέου σου εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου, προσκυνήσω πρὸς ναὸν ἅγιόν σου ἐν φόβῳ σου.

9 Κύριε ὁδήγησόν με ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ σου ἕνεκα τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου, κατεύθυνον ἐνώπιόν σου τὴν ὁδόν μου.

10 Ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν ἀλήθεια· ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν ματαία· τάφος ἀνεῳγμένος ὁ λάρυγξ αὐτῶν· ταῖς γλώσσαις αὐτῶν ἐδολιοῦσαν.

11 Κρίνον αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεός· ἀποπεσάτωσαν ἀπὸ τῶν διαβουλιῶν αὐτῶν· κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ἀσεβειῶν αὐτῶν ἔξωσον αὐτοὺς, ὅτι παρεπίκρανάν σε Κύριε.

12 Καὶ εὐφρανθήτωσαν ἐπὶ σοὶ πάντες οἱ ἐλπίζοντες ἐπὶ σὲ, εἰς αἰῶνα ἀγαλλιάσονται, καὶ κατασκηνώσεις ἐν αὐτοῖς· καὶ καυχήσονται ἐπὶ σοὶ πάντες οἱ ἀγαπῶντες τὸ ὄνομά σου,

13 ὅτι σὺ εὐλογήσεις δίκαιον Κύριε, ὡς ὅπλῳ εὐδοκίας ἐστεφάνωσας ἡμᾶς.

1 For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits.

2 Hearken to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.

understand.

3 Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to thee, O Lord, will I pray.

4 In the morning thou shalt hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon thee, and will look up.

5 For thou art not a God that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with thee.

6 Neither shall the transgressors continue in thy sight: thou hatest, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.

7 Thou wilt destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.

8 But I will enter into thine house in the multitude of thy mercy: I will worship in thy fear toward thy holy temple.

9 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make my way plain before thy face.

10 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.

11 Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked thee, O Lord.

fall from, or, by reason of.

12 But let all that trust on thee be glad in thee: they shall exult for ever, and thou shalt dwell among them; and all that love thy name shall rejoice in thee.

13 For thou, Lord, shalt bless the righteous: thou hast compassed us as with a shield of favour.
