| 1 στηλογραφία τῷ Δαυιδ φύλαξόν με κύριε ὅτι ἐπὶ σοὶ ἤλπισα 2 εἶπα τῷ κυρίῳ κύριός μου εἶ σύ ὅτι τῶν ἀγαθῶν μου οὐ χρείαν ἔχεις 3 τοῖς ἁγίοις τοῖς ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτοῦ ἐθαυμάστωσεν πάντα τὰ θελήματα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτοῖς 4 ἐπληθύνθησαν αἱ ἀσθένειαι αὐτῶν μετὰ ταῦτα ἐτάχυναν οὐ μὴ συναγάγω τὰς συναγωγὰς αὐτῶν ἐξ αἱμάτων οὐδὲ μὴ μνησθῶ τῶν ὀνομάτων αὐτῶν διὰ χειλέων μου 5 κύριος ἡ μερὶς τῆς κληρονομίας μου καὶ τοῦ ποτηρίου μου σὺ εἶ ὁ ἀποκαθιστῶν τὴν κληρονομίαν μου ἐμοί 6 σχοινία ἐπέπεσάν μοι ἐν τοῖς κρατίστοις καὶ γὰρ ἡ κληρονομία μου κρατίστη μοί ἐστιν |
1 Keep me safe, Lord; I put my trust in thee. 2 The Lord, whom I own as my God, confess that in him is all my good! 3 There are faithful souls in this land of his; wondrous delight he gives me in their companionship. 4 What do they do but lay up fresh store of sorrows, that betake themselves to alien gods? Not with these will I pour out the blood of sacrifice; I will not take forbidden names on my lips. 5 No, it is the Lord I claim for my prize, the Lord who fills my cup; thou, and no other, wilt assure my inheritance to me. 6 Portion is none were more to my liking; welcome the lot’s choice! |
1 Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te. 2 Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges. 3 Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis. 4 Multiplicatæ sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt. Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus, nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea. 5 Dominus pars hæreditatis meæ, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues hæreditatem meam mihi. 6 Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris; etenim hæreditas mea præclara est mihi. |
