|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. | Ipsi David intellectus. Beati quorum remissae sunt iniquitates, et quorum tecta sunt peccata. | Συνέσεως τῷ Δαυίδ. Μακάριοι ὧν ἀφέθησαν αἱ ἀνομίαι, καὶ ὧν ἐπεκαλύφθησαν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι. |
| 2 | Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile. | Beatus vir cui non imputavit Dominus peccatum, nec est in spiritu eius dolus. | Μακάριος ἀνὴρ ᾧ οὐ μὴ λογίσηται Κύριος ἁμαρτίαν, οὐδέ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ δόλος. |
| 3 | Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long. | Quoniam tacui, inveteraverunt ossa mea, dum clamarem tota die. | Ὅτι ἐσίγησα, ἐπαλαιώθη τὰ ὀστᾶ μου, ἀπὸ τοῦ κράζειν με ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν. |
| 4 | For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened. | Quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua, conversus sum in aerumna mea, dum configitur spina. | Ὅτι ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς ἐβαρύνθη ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἡ χείρ σου, ἐστράφην εἰς ταλαιπωρίαν ἐν τῷ ἐμπαγῆναι ἄκανθαν· διάψαλμα. |
| 5 | I have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed. I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin. | Delictum meum cognitum tibi feci, et iniustitiam meam non abscondi. Dixi: Confitebor adversum me iniustitiam meam Domino; et tu remisisti impietatem peccati mei. | Τὴν ἁμαρτίαν μου ἐγνώρισα, καὶ τὴν ἀνομίαν μου οὐκ ἐκάλυψα· εἶπα, ἐξαγορεύσω κατʼ ἐμοῦ τὴν ἀνομίαν μου τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ σὺ ἀφῆκας τὴν ἀσέβειαν τῆς καρδίας μου· διάψαλμα. |
| 6 | For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee in a seasonable time. And yet in a flood of many waters, they shall not come nigh unto him. | Pro hac orabit ad te omnis sanctus in tempore opportuno. Verumtamen in diluvio aquarum multarum, ad eum non approximabunt. | Ὑπὲρ ταύτης προσεύξεται πρὸς σὲ πᾶς ὅσιος ἐν καιρῷ εὐθέτῳ· πλὴν ἐν κατακλυσμῷ ὑδάτων πολλῶν πρὸς αὐτὸν οὐκ ἐγγιοῦσι. |
| 7 | Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: my joy, deliver me from them that surround me. | Tu es refugium meum a tribulatione quae circumdedit me; exsultatio mea, erue me a circumdantibus me. | Σύ μου εἶ καταφυγὴ ἀπὸ θλίψεως τῆς περιεχούσης με, τὸ ἀγαλλίαμά μου λύτρωσαί με ἀπὸ τῶν κυκλωσάντων με· διάψαλμα. |
| 8 | I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: I will fix my eyes upon thee. | Intellectum tibi dabo, et instruam te in via hac qua gradieris; firmabo super te oculos meos. | Συνετιῶ σε καὶ συμβιβῶ σε ἐν ὁδῷ ταύτῃ ᾗ πορεύσῃ, ἐπιστηριῶ ἐπὶ σὲ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου. |
| 9 | Do not become like the horse and the mule, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, who come not near unto thee. | Nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus, quibus non est intellectus. In camo et freno maxillas eorum constringe, qui non approximant ad te. | Μὴ γίνεσθε ὡς ἵππος καὶ ἡμίονος, οἷς οὐκ ἔστι σύνεσις· ἐν χαλινῷ καὶ κημῷ τὰς σιαγόνας αὐτῶν ἄγξαι τῶν μὴ ἐγγιζόντων πρὸς σέ. |
| 10 | Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord. | Multa flagella peccatoris; sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit. | Πολλαὶ αἱ μάστιγες τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ, τὸν δὲ ἐλπίζοντα ἐπὶ Κύριον ἔλεος κυκλώσει. |
| 11 | Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, and glory, all ye right of heart. | Laetamini in Domino, et exsultate, iusti; et gloriamini, omnes recti corde. | Εὐφράνθητε ἐπὶ Κύριον καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε δίκαιοι, καὶ καυχᾶσθε πάντες οἱ εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ. |
