| 7 εἶπα τῷ κυρίῳ θεός μου εἶ σύ ἐνώτισαι κύριε τὴν φωνὴν τῆς δεήσεώς μου 8 κύριε κύριε δύναμις τῆς σωτηρίας μου ἐπεσκίασας ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν μου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πολέμου 9 μὴ παραδῷς με κύριε ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιθυμίας μου ἁμαρτωλῷ διελογίσαντο κα{T'} ἐμοῦ μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς με μήποτε ὑψωθῶσιν διάψαλμα 10 ἡ κεφαλὴ τοῦ κυκλώματος αὐτῶν κόπος τῶν χειλέων αὐτῶν καλύψει αὐτούς 11 πεσοῦνται ἐ{P'} αὐτοὺς ἄνθρακες ἐν πυρὶ καταβαλεῖς αὐτούς ἐν ταλαιπωρίαις οὐ μὴ ὑποστῶσιν 12 ἀνὴρ γλωσσώδης οὐ κατευθυνθήσεται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἄνδρα ἄδικον κακὰ θηρεύσει εἰς διαφθοράν 13 ἔγνων ὅτι ποιήσει κύριος τὴν κρίσιν τοῦ πτωχοῦ καὶ τὴν δίκην τῶν πενήτων 14 πλὴν δίκαιοι ἐξομολογήσονται τῷ ὀνόματί σου καὶ κατοικήσουσιν εὐθεῖς σὺν τῷ προσώπῳ σου |
7 To the Lord I make my appeal, Thou art my God, listen, Lord, to the voice that pleads with thee. 8 My Lord, my Master, my strong deliverer, it is thou that shieldest my head in the day of battle. 9 Lord, do not let malice have its way with me, do not prosper its evil designs. 10 They carry their heads high as they close in around me; let their conspiracy prove its own undoing; 11 let burning coals rain down on them, be they cast into a pit whence they shall rise no more. 12 Not long the blasphemer’s time on earth: misfortune will overtake the oppressor unawares. 13 Can I doubt that the Lord will avenge the helpless, will grant the poor redress? 14 Honest men will yet live to praise thy name; upright hearts to enjoy the smile of thy favour. |

Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu;
exaudi, Domine, vocem deprecationis meæ. 8
Domine, Domine, virtus salutis meæ,
obumbrasti super caput meum in die belli. 9
Ne tradas me, Domine, a desiderio meo peccatori:
cogitaverunt contra me;
ne derelinquas me, ne forte exaltentur. 10
Caput circuitus eorum:
labor labiorum ipsorum operiet eos. 11
Cadent super eos carbones;
in ignem dejicies eos:
in miseriis non subsistent. 12
Vir linguosus non dirigetur in terra;
virum injustum mala capient in interitu. 13
Cognovi quia faciet Dominus judicium inopis,
et vindictam pauperum. 14
Verumtamen justi confitebuntur nomini tuo,
et habitabunt recti cum vultu tuo. |
