1Ψαλμὸς τῷ Ἀσάφ. ΩΣ ΑΓΑΘΟΣ ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἰσραήλ, τοῖς εὐθέσι τῇ καρδίᾳ.
1A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son;
2ἐμοῦ δὲ παραμικρὸν ἐσαλεύθησαν οἱ πόδες, παρ᾿ ὀλίγον ἐξεχύθη τὰ διαβήματά μου.
2That he may judge Thy people with righteousness, and Thy poor with justice.
3ὅτι ἐζήλωσα ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀνόμοις εἰρήνην ἁμαρτωλῶν θεωρῶν,
3Let the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills, through righteousness.
4ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀνάνευσις ἐν τῷ θανάτῳ αὐτῶν καὶ στερέωμα ἐν τῇ μάστιγι αὐτῶν·
4May he judge the poor of the people, and save the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor.
5ἐν κόποις ἀνθρώπων οὐκ εἰσὶ καὶ μετὰ ἀνθρώπων οὐ μαστιγωθήσονται.
5They shall fear Thee while the sun endureth, and so long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6διὰ τοῦτο ἐκράτησεν αὐτοὺς ἡ ὑπερηφανία, περιεβάλοντο ἀδικίαν καὶ ἀσέβειαν ἑαυτῶν.
6May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
7ἐξελεύσεται ὡς ἐκ στέατος ἡ ἀδικία αὐτῶν, διῆλθον εἰς διάθεσιν καρδίας·
7In his days let the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.
8διενοήθησαν καὶ ἐλάλησαν ἐν πονηρίᾳ, ἀδικίαν εἰς τὸ ὕψος ἐλάλησαν·
8May he have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the River unto the ends of the earth.
9ἔθεντο εἰς οὐρανὸν τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτῶν διῆλθεν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
9Let them that dwell in the wilderness bow before him; and his enemies lick the dust.
10διὰ τοῦτο ἐπιστρέψει ὁ λαός μου ἐνταῦθα, καὶ ἡμέραι πλήρεις εὑρεθήσονται ἐν αὐτοῖς.
10The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11καὶ εἶπαν· πῶς ἔγνω ὁ Θεός; καὶ εἰ ἔστι γνῶσις ἐν τῷ Ὑψίστῳ;
11Yea, all kings shall prostrate themselves before him; all nations shall serve him.
12ἰδοὺ οὗτοι οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ καὶ εὐθηνοῦντες· εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατέσχον πλούτου.
12For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
13καὶ εἶπα· ἄρα ματαίως ἐδικαίωσα τὴν καρδίαν μου καὶ ἐνιψάμην ἐν ἀθῴοις τὰς χεῖράς μου·
13He will have pity on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy he will save.
14καὶ ἐγενόμην μεμαστιγωμένος ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν, καὶ ὁ ἔλεγχός μου εἰς τὰς πρωΐας.
14He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence, and precious will their blood be in his sight;
15εἰ ἔλεγον· διηγήσομαι οὕτως, ἰδοὺ τῇ γενεᾷ τῶν υἱῶν σου ἠσυνθέτηκα.
15That they may live, and that he may give them of the gold of Sheba, that they may pray for him continually, yea, bless him all the day.
16καὶ ὑπέλαβον τοῦ γνῶναι τοῦτο· κόπος ἐστὶν ἐνώπιόν μου,
16May he be as a rich cornfield in the land upon the top of the mountains; may his fruit rustle like Lebanon; and may they blossom out of the city like grass of the earth.
17ἕως εἰσέλθω εἰς τὸ ἁγιαστήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ συνῶ εἰς τὰ ἔσχατα αὐτῶν.
17May his name endure for ever; may his name be continued as long as the sun; may men also bless themselves by him; may all nations call him happy.
18πλὴν διὰ τὰς δολιότητας αὐτῶν ἔθου αὐτοῖς κακά, κατέβαλες αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ἐπαρθῆναι.
18Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things;
19πῶς ἐγένοντο εἰς ἐρήμωσιν ἐξάπινα· ἐξέλιπον, ἀπώλοντο διὰ τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτῶν.
19And blessed be His glorious name for ever; and let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.
20ὡσεὶ ἐνύπνιον ἐξεγειρομένου, Κύριε, ἐν τῇ πόλει σου τὴν εἰκόνα αὐτῶν ἐξουδενώσεις.
20The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
21ὅτι ἐξεκαύθη ἡ καρδία μου, καὶ οἱ νεφροί μου ἠλλοιώθησαν,
