ΛΑ΄

Συνέσεως τῷ Δαυείδ.

Μακάριοι ὧν ἀφέθησαν αἱ ἀνομίαι,

καὶ ὧν ἐπεκαλύφθησαν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι.

μακάριος ἀνὴρ οὗ οὐ μὴ λογίσηται Κύριος ἁμαρτίαν,

οὐδέ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ δόλος.

ὅτι ἐσίγησα, ἐπαλαιώθη τὰ ὀστᾶ μου

ἀπὸ τοῦ κράζειν με ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν.

ὅτι ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς ἐβαρύνθη ἐπʼ ἐμέ ἡ χείρ σου,

ἐστράφην εἰς ταλαιπωρίαν ἐν τῷ ἐνπαγῆναι ἄκανθαν.

διάψαλμα.

τὴν ἁμαρτίαν μου ἐγνώρισα,

καὶ τὴν ἀνομίαν μου οὐκ ἐκάλυψα·

εἶπα Ἐξαγορεύσω κατʼ ἐμοῦ τὴν ἁμαρτίαν μου τῷ κυρίῳ,

καὶ σὺ ἀφῆκας τὴν ἀσέβειαν τῆς καρδίας μου. διάψαλμα.

ὑπὲρ ταύτης προσεύξεται πᾶς ὅσιος πρὸς σέ ἐν καιρῷ εὐθέτῳ·

πλὴν ἐν κατακλυσμῷ ὑδάτων πολλῶν πρὸς αὐτὸν οὐκ

ἐγγιοῦσιν.

σύ μου εἶ καταφυγὴ ἀπὸ θλίψεως τῆς περιεχούσης με·

τὸ ἀγαλλίαμά μου, λύτρωσαί με ἀπὸ τῶν κυκλωσάντων με.

διάψαλμα.

συνετιῶ σε καὶ συνβιβῶ σε ἐν ὁδῷ ταύτῃ ᾗ πορεύσῃ,

ἐπιστηριῶ ἐπὶ σέ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου.

μὴ γίνεσθε ὡς ἵππος καὶ ἡμίονος, οἷς οὐκ ἔστιν σύνεσις·

ἐν χαλινῷ καὶ κημῷ τὰς σιαγόνας αὐτῶν ἄγξαι

τῶν μὴ ἐγγιζόντων πρὸς σέ.

πολλαὶ αἱ μάστιγες τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ,

τὸν δὲ ἐλπίζοντα ἐπὶ Κύριον ἔλεος κυκλώσει.

εὐφράνθητε ἐπὶ Κύριον καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε, δίκαιοι·

καὶ καυχᾶσθε, πάντες οἱ εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Let me never be put to shame: Deliver me in your righteousness.

Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, A house of defense to save me.

For you are my rock and my fortress, Therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.

Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, For you are my stronghold.

Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, Yahweh, God of truth.

I hate those who regard lying vanities, But I trust in Yahweh.

I will be glad and rejoice in your lovingkindness, For you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.

You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.

Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.

For my life is spent with sorrow, My years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.

Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, A fear to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.

I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.

For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, While they conspire together against me, They plot to take away my life.

But I trust in you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my God.”

My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.

Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your lovingkindness.

Let me not be put to shame, Yahweh, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be put to shame. Let them be silent in Sheol.

Let the lying lips be mute, Which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

Oh how great is your goodness, Which you have laid up for those who fear you, Which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, Before the sons of men!

In the covert of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

Praise be to Yahweh, For he has shown me his marvelous lovingkindness in a strong city.

As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.

Oh love Yahweh, all you his saints! Yahweh preserves the faithful, And pays back him who deals proudly in full.

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, All you who hope in Yahweh.
