ΡΜ΄

Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυείδ.

Κύριε, πρὸς σέ ἐκέκραξα, εἰσάκουσόν μου·

πρόσχες τῇ φωνῇ τῆς δεήσεως μου

ἐν τῷ κεκραγέναι με πρὸς σέ.

κατευθυνθήτω ἡ προσευχή μου ὡς θυμίαμα ἐνώπιόν σου,

ἔπαρσις τῶν χειρῶν μου θυσία ἑσπερινῄ.

θοῦ, Κύριε, φυλακὴν τῷ στόματί μου,

καὶ θύραν περιοχῆς περὶ τὰ χείλη μου.

μὴ ἐκκλίνῃς τὴν καρδίαν μου εἰς λόγους πονηρίας,

τοῦ προφασίζεσθαι προφάσεις ἐν ἁμαρτίαις,

σὺν ἀνθρώποις ἐργαζομένοις ἀνομίαν,

καὶ οὐ μὴ συνδοιάσω μετὰ τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτῶν.

παιδεύσει με δίκαιος ἑν ἐλέει καὶ ἐλέγξει με,

ἔλαιον δὲ ἁμαρτωλοῦ μὴ λιπανάτω τὴν κεφαλήν μου·

ὅτι ἔτι καὶ ἔτι ἡ προσευχή μου ἐν ταῖς εὐδοκίαις αὐτῶν.

κατεπόθησαν ἐχόμενα πέτρας οἱ κραταιοὶ αὐτῶν·

ἀκούσονται τὰ ῥήματά μου, ὅτι ἠδυνήσησαν.

ὡσεὶ πάχος γῆς διερράγη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς,

διεσκορπίσθη τὰ ὀστᾶ ἡμῶν παρὰ τὸν ᾅδην.

ὅτι πρὸς σέ, Κύριε κύριε, οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου,

ἐπὶ σὲ ἤλπισα, μὴ ἀντανέλῃς τὴν ψυχήν μου·

φύλαξόν με ἀπὸ παγίδος ἧς συνεστήσαντό μοι,

καὶ ἀπὸ σκανδάλων τῶν ἐργαζομένων τὴν ἀνομίαν.

πεσοῦνται ἐν ἀμφιβλήστρῳ αὐτοῦ ἁμαρτωλοί·

κατὰ μόνας εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ἕως οὗ ἂν παρέλθω.

Psalms Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 140 focus

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man;

Those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips. Selah.

Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.

The proud have hidden a snare for me, They have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah.

I said to Yahweh, “You are my God.” Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh.

Yahweh, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle.

Yahweh, don’t grant the desires of the wicked. Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah.

As for the head of those who surround me, Let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, Into miry pits, from where they never rise.

An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy.

Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.
