For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm by David.

I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish in your presence.

For you have maintained my right and my cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.

You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.

But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.

He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; A high tower in times of trouble.

Those who know your name will put their trust in you, For you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.

Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, And declare among the people what he has done.

For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.

Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, And lift me up from the gates of death;

That I may show forth all your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in your salvation.

The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.

The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.

For the needy shall not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

Arise, Yahweh! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.

Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.

Θ΄

Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῶν κρυφίων τοῦ υἱοῦ·

ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυείδ.

Ἐξομολογήσομαι σοι, Κύριε, ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου,

διηγήσομαι πάντα τὰ θαυμάσιά σου·

¹²

εὐφρανθήσομαι καὶ ἀγαλλιάσομαι ἐν σοί,

ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου, Ὕψιστε.

ἐν τῷ ἀποστραφῆναι τὸν ἐχθρόν μου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω,

ἀσθενήσουσιν καὶ ἀπολοῦνται ἀπὸ προσώπου σου.

ὅτι ἐποίησας τὴν κρίσιν μου καὶ τὴν δίκην μου,

ἐκάθισας ἐπὶ θρόνου, ὁ κρίνων δικαιοσύνην.

ἐπετίμησας ἔθνεσιν, καὶ ἀπώλετο ὁ ἀσεβής·

τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ἐξήλειψας εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

>τοῦ αἰῶνος.

τοῦ ἐχθροῦ ἐξέλιπον αἱ ῥομφαῖαι εἰς τέλος, καὶ πόλεις καθεῖλες·

ἀπώλετο τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν μετʼ ἠχοῦς·

καὶ ὁ κύριος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένει·

ἡτοίμασεν ἐν κρίσει τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ.

καὶ αὐτὸς κρινεῖ τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ,

κρινεῖ λαοὺς ἐν εὐθύτητι.

καὶ ἐγένετο Κύριος καταφυγὴ τῷ πένητι,

βοηθὸς ἐν εὐκαιρίαις ἐν θλίψει.

καὶ ἐλπισάτωσαν ἐπὶ σὲ οἱ γινώσκοντες τὸ ὄνομά σου,

ὅτι οὐκ ἐνκατέλιπες τοὺς ἐκζητοῦντάς σε, Κύριε.

ψάλατε τῷ κυρίῳ τῷ κατοικοῦντι ἐν Σιῶν,

ἀναγγείλατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ·

ὅτι ἐκζητῶν τὰ αἵματα αὐτῶν ἐμνήσθη,

οὐκ ἐπελάθετο τῆς δεήσεως τῶν πενήτων.

ἐλέησόν με, Κύριε· ἴδε τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου,

ὁ ὑψῶν με ἐκ τῶν πυλῶν τοῦ θανάτου,

ὅπως ἄν ἐξαγγείλω πάσας τὰς αἰνέσεις σου

ἐν ταῖς πύλαις τῆς θυγατρὸς Σιῶν·

ἀγαλλιάσομαι ἐπὶ τῷ σωτηρίῳ σου.

ἐνεπάγησαν ἔθνη ἐν διαφθορᾷ ᾗ ἐποίησαν,

ἐν παγίδι ταύτῃ ᾗ ἔκρυψαν συνελήμφθη ὁ ποὺς αὐτῶν.

γινώσκεται Κύριος κρίματα ποιῶν,

³⁴

ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ συνελήμφθη ὁ ἁμαρτωλός.

⁵

ᾠδὴ διαφάλματος.

ἀποστραφήτωσαν οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ εἰς τὸν ᾄδην,

πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ἐπιλανθανόμενα τοῦ θεοῦ.

ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τέλος ἐπιλησθήσεται ὁ πτωχός,

ἡ ὑπομονὴ τῶν πενήτων οὐκ ἀπολεῖται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

ἀνάστηθι, Κύριε, μὴ κραταιούσθω ἄνθρωπος,

κριθήτωσαν ἔθνη ἐνώπιόν σου.

κατάστησον, Κύριε, νομοθέτην ἐπʼ αὐτούς,

γνώτωσαν ἔθνη ὅτι οἱ ἄνθρωποί εἰσιν. διάψαλμα.

ἵνα τί, Κύριε, ἀφέστηκας μακρόθεν ;

ὑπερορᾷς ἐν εὐκαιρίαις ἐν θλίψει ;

ἐν τῷ ὑπερηφανεύεσθαι τὸν ἀσεβῆ ἐνπυρίζεται ὁ πτωχός·

συνλαμβάνονται ἐν διαβουλίοις οἷς διαλογίζονται.

ὅτι ἐπαινεῖται ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς ἐν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις τῆς ψυχῆς

αὐτοῦ,

καὶ ὁ ἀδικῶν ἐνευλογεῖται.

παρώξυνεν τὸν Κύριον ὁ ἁμαρτωλός,

κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῆς ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐκζητήσει

οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ θεὸς ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.

βεβηλοῦνται αἱ ὁδοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ·

ἀνταναιρεῖται τὰ κρίματά σου ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ,

πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ κατακυριεύσει.

κἶπεν γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ Οὐ μὴ σαλευθῶ ἀπὸ γενεᾶς εἰς γενεὰν ἄνευ κακοῦ.

οὗ ἀρᾶς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ γέμει καὶ πικρίας καὶ δόλου,

ὑπὸ τὴν γλῶσσαν αὐτοῦ κόπος καὶ πόνος.

ἐνκάθηται ἐνέδρᾳ μετὰ πλουσίων

ἐν ἀποκρύφοις ἀποκτεῖναι ἀθῷον·

οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν πένητα ἀποβλέπουσιν.

ἐνεδρεύει ἐν ἀποκρύφῳ, ὡς λέων ἐν τῇ μάνδρᾳ αὐτοῦ·

ἐνεδρεύει τοῦ ἁρπάσαι πτωχόν,

⁶⁷

ἁρπάσαι πτωχὸν ἐν τῷ ἑλκύσαι αὐτόν·

ἐν τῇ παγίδι αὐτοῦ

ταπεινώσει αὐτόν·

κύψει καὶ πεσεῖται ἐν τῷ αὐτὸν κατακυριεῦσαι τῶν

πενήτων.

εἶπεν γὰρ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ Ἐπιλέλησται ὁ θεός,

ἀπέστρεψεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν εἰς τέλος,

ἀνάστηθι, Κύριε ὁ θεός, ὑψωθήτω ἡ χείρ σου·

μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ τῶν πενήτων.

ἕνεκεν τίνος παρώξυνεν ὁ ἀσεβὴς τὸν θεόν ;

εἶπεν γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ Οὐ ζητήσει.

βλέπεις, ὅτι σὺ πόνον καὶ θυμὸν κατανοήσεις.

τοῦ παραδοῦναι αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖράς σου.

σοὶ οὖν ἐνκαταλέλειπται ὁ πτωχός,

ὀρφανῷ σὺ ὖσθα βοηθός.

σύντριψον τὸν βραχίονα τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ καὶ πονηροῦ·

ζητηθήσεται ἡ ἁμαρτία αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐ μὴ εὐρεθῇ δι᾿ αὐτήν.

βασιλεύσει Κύριος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος·

ἀπολεῖσθε, ἔθνη, ἐκ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ.

τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν τῶν πενήτων εἰσήκουσεν Κύριος.

τὴν ἑτοιμασίαν τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν προσέσχεν τὸ οὖς σου,

κρῖναι ὀρφανῷ καὶ ταπεινῷ,

ἵνα μὴ προσθῇ ἔτι μεγαλαυχεῖν ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
