ΜΗ΄

Εἰς τὸ τέλος· τοῖς υἱοῖς Κόρε ψαλμός.

Ἀκούσατε ταῦτα, πάντα τὰ ἔθνη,

ἐυωτίσασθε, πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν οἰκουμένην,

οἴ τε γηγενεῖς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων,

ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ πλούσιος καὶ πένης.

τὸ στόμα μου λαλήσει σοφίαν,

καὶ ἡ μελέτη τῆς καρδίας μου σύνεσιν.

κλινῶ εἰς παραβολὴν τὸ οὖς μου,

ἀνοίξω ἐν ψαλτηρίῳ τὸ πρόβλημά μου.

ἵνα τί φοβοῦμαι ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πονηρᾷ;

ἡ ἀνομία τῆς πτέρνης μου κυκλώσει με,

οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπὶ τῇ δυνάμει αὐτῶν

καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ πλήθει τοῦ πλούτου αὐτῶν καυχώμενοι.

ἀδελφὸς οὐ λυτροῦται λυτρώσεται ἄνθρωπος;

οὐ δώσει τῷ θεῷ ἐξίλασμα αὐτοῦ,

καὶ τὴν τιμὴν τῆς λυτρώσεως τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ·

καὶ ἐκοπίασεν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα,

καὶ ζήσεται εἰς τέλος,

ὅτι οὐκ ὄψεται καταφθοράν,

ὅταν ἴδῃ σοφοὺς

ἀποθνήσκουτας.

ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ἄνους καὶ ἄφρων ἀπολοῦνται,

καὶ καταλείψουσιν ἀλλοτρίοις τὸν πλοῦτον αὐτῶν.

καὶ οἱ τάφοι αὐτῶν οἰκίαι αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα,

σκηνώματα αὐτῶν εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν·

ἐπεκαλέσαντο τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τῶν γαιῶν αὐτῶν·

¹³

καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἐν τιμῇ ὢν οὐ συνῆκεν·

παρασυνεβλήθη τοῖς κτήνεσιν τοῖς ἀνοήτοις καὶ ὡμοιώθη

αὐτοῖς.

αὕτη ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτῶν σκάνδαλον αὐτοῖς,

καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν εὐλογήσουσιν.

διάψαλμα.

ὡς πρόβατα ἐν ἅδῃ ἔθεντο, θάνατος ποιμαίνει αὐτούς·

καὶ κατακυριεύσουσιν αὐτῶν οἱ εὐθεῖς τὸ πρωί,

καὶ ἡ βοήθεια αὐτῶν παλαιωθήσεται ἐν τῷ ᾅδῃ ἐκ τῆς δόξης

αὐτῶν.

πλὴν ὁ θεὸς λυτρώσεται τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ χειρὸς ᾅδου, ὅταν

λαμβάνῃ με. διάψαλμα.

μὴ φοβοῦ ὅταν πλουτήσῃ ἄνθρωπος.

καὶ ὅταν πληθυνθῇ ἡ δόξα τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ·

ὅτὶ οὐκ ἐν τῷ ἀποθνήσκειν αὐτὸν λήμψεται τὰ πάντα.

οὐδὲ συνκαταβήσεται αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα αὐτοῦ.

ὅτι ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ εὐλογηθήσεται.

ἐξομολογήσεταί σοι ὅταν ἀγαθύνῃς αὐτῷ.

εἰσελεύσεται ἕως γενεᾶς πατέρων αὐτοῦ,

ἕως αἰῶνος οὐκ ὄψεται φῶς.

ἄνθρωπος ἐν τιμῇ ὧν οὐ συνῆκεν,

παρασυνεβλήθη τοῖς κτήνεσιν τοῖς ἀνοήτοις καὶ ὡμοιώθη

αὐτοῖς.

A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.

Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion, on the north sides, The city of the great King.

God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.

For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.

They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed, They hurried away.

Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.

With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.

As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Yahweh of Hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.

We have thought about your lovingkindness, God, In the midst of your temple.

As is your name, God, So is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.

Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.

Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers;

Mark well her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, That you may tell it to the next generation.

For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
