Τῷ Δαυεἰδ.

Ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι, Κύριε, ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου.

ὅτι ἤκουσας τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματός μου·

καὶ ἐναντίον ἀγγέλων ψαλῶ σοι.

προσκυνήσω πρὸς ναὸν ἅγιόν σου, καὶ ἐξομολογήσομαι τῷ ὀνόματί

σου

ἐπὶ τῷ ἐλέει σου καὶ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου,

ὅτι ἐμεγάλυνας ἐπὶ πᾶν ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιόν σου.

ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπικαλέσωμαι, ταχὺ ἐπάκουσόν μου·

πολυωρήσεις με ἐν ψυχῇ μου ἐν δυνάμει πολλῇ.

ἐξομολογησάσθωσάν σοι, Κύριε, πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς,

ὅτι ἤκουσαν πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματός σου·

καὶ ᾀσάτωσαν ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς Κυρίου,

ὅτι ἡ δόξα Κυρίου μεγάλη·

ὅτι ὑψηλὸς Κύριος, καὶ τὰ ταπεινὰ ἐφορᾷ,

§καὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν γινώσκει.

ἐὰν πορευθῶ ἐν μέσῳ θλίψεως, ζήσεις με·

ἐπʼ ὀργὴν ἐχθρῶν ἐξέτεινας χεῖράς μου.

καὶ ἔσωσέν με ἡ δεξιά σου.

Κύριε, ἀνταποδώσεις ὑπέρ ἐμοῦ

²³

Κύριε, τὸ ἔλεός σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα,

⁴

Κύριε, τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σου μὴ παρῇς.

Psalms Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 137 focus

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

On the willows in the midst of it, We hung up our harps.

For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs. Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy: “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

How can we sing Yahweh’s song in a foreign land?

If I forget you, Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget its skill.

Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you; If I don’t prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Remember, Yahweh, against the children of Edom, The day of Jerusalem; Who said, “Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!”

Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, He will be happy who rewards you, As you have served us.

Happy shall he be, Who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.
