1O Lord, remember David, and all his meekness.
1ᾨδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. ΜΝΗΣΘΗΤΙ, Κύριε, τοῦ Δαυΐδ καὶ πάσης τῆς πρᾳότητος αὐτοῦ,
2How he swore to the Lord, he vowed a vow to the God of Jacob:
2ὡς ὤμοσε τῷ Κυρίῳ, ηὔξατο τῷ Θεῷ Ἰακώβ·
3If I shall enter into the tabernacle of my house: if I shall go up into the bed wherein I lie:
3εἰ εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς σκήνωμα οἴκου μου, εἰ ἀναβήσομαι ἐπὶ κλίνης στρωμνῆς μου,
4If I shall give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,
4εἰ δώσω ὕπνον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς μου καὶ τοῖς βλεφάροις μου νυσταγμὸν καὶ ἀνάπαυσιν τοῖς κροτάφοις μου,
5Or rest to my temples: until I find out a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
5ἕως οὗ εὕρω τόπον τῷ Κυρίῳ, σκήνωμα τῷ Θεῷ Ἰακώβ.
6Behold we have heard of it in Ephrata: we have found it in the fields of the wood.
6ἰδοὺ ἠκούσαμεν αὐτὴν ἐν Ἐφραθᾷ, εὕρομεν αὐτὴν ἐν τοῖς πεδίοις τοῦ δρυμοῦ·
7We will go into his tabernacle: We will adore in the place where his feet stood.
7εἰσελευσόμεθα εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτοῦ, προσκυνήσομεν εἰς τὸν τόπον, οὗ ἔστησαν οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ.
8Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place: thou and the ark, which thou hast sanctified.
8ἀνάστηθι, Κύριε, εἰς τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου, σὺ καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ ἁγιάσματός σου·
9Let thy priests be clothed with justice: and let thy saints rejoice.
9οἱ ἱερεῖς σου ἐνδύσονται δικαιοσύνην, καὶ οἱ ὅσιοί σου ἀγαλλιάσονται.
10For thy servant David’s sake, turn not away the face of thy anointed.
10ἕνεκεν Δαυΐδ τοῦ δούλου σου μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ χριστοῦ σου.
11The Lord hath sworn truth to David, and he will not make it void: of the fruit of thy womb I will set upon thy throne.
11ὤμοσε Κύριος τῷ Δαυΐδ ἀλήθειαν καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀθετήσει αὐτήν· ἐκ καρποῦ τῆς κοιλίας σου θήσομαι ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου σου·
12If thy children will keep thy covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them: Their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.
12ἐὰν φυλάξωνται οἱ υἱοί σου τὴν διαθήκην μου καὶ τὰ μαρτύριά μου ταῦτα, ἃ διδάξω αὐτούς, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος καθιοῦνται ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου σου.
13For the Lord hath chosen Sion: he hath chosen it for his dwelling.
13ὅτι ἐξελέξατο Κύριος τὴν Σιών, ᾑρετίσατο αὐτὴν εἰς κατοικίαν ἑαυτῷ·
14This is my rest for ever and ever: here will I dwell, for I have chosen it.
14αὕτη ἡ κατάπαυσίς μου εἰς αἰῶνα αἰῶνος, ᾧδε κατοικήσω, ὅτι ᾑρετισάμην αὐτήν·
15Blessing, I will bless her widow: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
15τὴν θύραν αὐτῆς εὐλογῶν εὐλογήσω, τοὺς πτωχοὺς αὐτῆς χορτάσω ἄρτων,
16I will clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall rejoice with exceeding great joy.
16τοὺς ἱερεῖς αὐτῆς ἐνδύσω σωτηρίαν, καὶ οἱ ὅσιοι αὐτῆς ἀγαλλιάσει ἀγαλλιάσονται.
17There will I bring forth a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.
17ἐκεῖ ἐξανατελῶ κέρας τῷ Δαυΐδ, ἡτοίμασα λύχνον τῷ χριστῷ μου·
18His enemies I will clothe with confusion: but upon him will my sanctification flourish.
18τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ ἐνδύσω αἰσχύνην, ἐπὶ δὲ αὐτὸν ἐξανθήσει τὸ ἁγίασμά μου.
