ΡΜΓ΄

Τῷ Δαυείδ, πρὺς τὸν Γολιάδ.

Εὐλογητὸς Κύριος ὁ θεός μου, ὁ διδάσκων τὰς χεῖράς μου εἰς

παράταξιν,

τοὺς δακτύλους μου εἰς πόλεμον·

ἔλεός μου καὶ καταφυγὴ μου.

ἀντιλήμπτωρ μου καὶ ῥύστης μου,

ὑπερασπιστής μου καὶ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ ἤλπισα,

ὁ ὑποτάσσων τὸν λαόν μου ὑπʼ ἐμέ.

Κύριε, τί ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος ὅτι ἐγνώσθης αὐτῷ,

ἢ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου ὅτι λογίζῃ αὐτόν;

ἄνθρωπος ματαιότητι ὡμοιώθη,

αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ σκιὰ παράγουσιν.

Κύριε, κλῖνον οὐρανούς σου καὶ κατάβηθι,

ἅψαι τῶν ὀρέων καὶ καπνισθήσονται·

ἄστραψον ἀστραπὴν καὶ σκορπιεῖς αὐτούς,

ἐξαπόστειλον τὰ βέλη σου καὶ συνταράξεις αὐτούς.

ἐξαπόστειλον τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐξ ὕψους,

ἐξελοῦ με καὶ ῥῦσαι με ἐξ ὑδάτων πολλῶν,

ἐκ χειρὸς υἱῶν ἀλλοτρίων,

ὧν τὸ στόμα ἐλάλησεν ματαιότητα,

καὶ ἡ δεξιὰ αὐτῶν δεξιὰ ἀδικίας.

ὁ θεός, ᾠδὴν καινὴν ᾄσομαί σοι.

ἐν ψαλτηρίῳ δεκαχόρδῳ ψαλῶ σοι.

τῷ διδόντι τὴν σωτηρίαν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν,

τῷ λυτρουμένῳ Δαυεὶδ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ.

ἐκ ῥομφαίας πονηρᾶς ¹¹ῥῦσαί με, καὶ ἐξελοῦ με ἐκ χειρὸς υἱῶν

ἀλλοτρίων,

ὧν τὸ στόμα ἐλάλησεν ματαιότητα,

καὶ ἡ δεξιὰ αὐτῶν δεξιὰ ἀδικίας·

¹³

ὧν οἱ υἱοὶ ὡς νεόφυτα ἡδρυμμένα ἐν τῇ νεότητι αὐτῶν,

αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῶν κεκαλλωπισμέναι, περικεκοσμημέναι ὡς

ὁμοίαμα ναοῦ·

τὰ ταμεῖα αὐτῶν πλήρη, ἐξερευγόμενα ἐκ τούτου εἰς τοῦτο·

τὰ πρόβατα αὐτῶν πολυτόκα, πληθύνοντα ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις

αὐτῶν,

οἱ βόες αὐτῶν παχεῖς·

οὐκ ἔστιν κατάπτωμα φραγμοῦ οὐδὲ διέξοδος

οὐδὲ κραυγὴ ἐν ταῖς ἐπαύλεσιν αὐτῶν.

ἐμακάρισαν τὸν λαὸν ᾧ ταῦτά ἐστιν,

μακάριος ὁ λαὸς οὗ Κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτοῦ.

A Psalm by David.

Hear my prayer, Yahweh. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.

Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, For in your sight no man living is righteous.

For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.

Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.

I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.

I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah.

Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, So that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.

Cause me to hear your lovingkindness in the morning, For I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to you.

Deliver me, Yahweh, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.

Teach me to do your will, For you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.

Revive me, Yahweh, for your name’s sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.

In your lovingkindness, cut off my enemies, And destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.
