ΝΖ΄

Εἰς τὸ τέλος· μὴ διαφθείρης· τῷ Δαυεὶδ

εἰς στηλογραφίαν.

Εἰ ἀληθῶς ἄρα δικαιοσύνην λαλεῖτε;

εὐθεῖα κρίνετε, οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων;

καὶ γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ ἀνομίας ἐργάζεσθε ἐν τῇ γῆ,

ἀδικίαν αἱ χεῖρες ὑμῶν συνπλέκουσιν.

ἀπηλλοτριώθησαν οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀπὸ μήτρας,

ἐπλανήθησαν ἀπὸ γαστρός, ἐλάλησαν ψεύδη.

θυμὸς αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὴν ὁμοίωσιν τοῦ ὄφεως,

ὡσεὶ ἀσπίδος κωφῆς καὶ βυούσης τὰ ὦτα αὐτῆς,

ἥτις οὐκ εἰσακούσεται φωνὴν ἐπᾳδόντων

φαρμάκου τε φαρμακευομένου παρὰ σοφοῦ.

ὁ θεὸς συνέτριψεν τοὺς ὀδόντας αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν,

τὰς μύλας τῶν λεόντων συνέθλασεν Κύριος.

ἐξουδενωθήσονται ὡς ὕδωρ διαπορευόμενον,

ἐντενεῖ τὸ τόξον αὐτοῦ ἕως οὗ ἀσθενήσουσιν.

ὡσεὶ κηρὸς ὁ τακεὶς ἀνταναιρεθήσονται·

ἐπέπεσε πῦρ, καὶ οὐκ εἶδον τὸν ἥλιον.

πρὸ τοῦ συνεῖναι τὰς ἀκάνθας ὑμῶν

τὴν ῥάμνον, ὡσεὶ ζῶντας, ὡσεὶ ἐν ὀργῇ καταπίεται ὑμᾶς.

εὐφρανθήσεται δίκαιος ὅταν ἴδῃ ἐκδίκησιν ἀσεβῶν.

τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ νίψεται ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ.

καὶ ἐρεῖ ἄνθρωπος Εἰ ἄρα ἐστὶν καρπὸς τῷ δικαίῳ,

ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ θεὸς κρίνων αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ γῆ.

Psalms Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 57 focus

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.

Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, For my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, Until disaster has passed.

I cry out to God Most High, To God who accomplishes my requests for me.

He will send from heaven, and save me, He rebukes the one who is pursuing me. Selah. God will send out his lovingkindness and his truth.

My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.

Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!

They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the midst of it themselves. Selah.

My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.

Wake up, my glory! Wake up, psaltery and harp! I will wake up the dawn.

I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.

For your great lovingkindness reaches to the heavens, And your truth to the skies.

Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
