   The prayer of David.  Oratio David.
1 προσευχὴ τοῦ Δαυιδ εἰσάκουσον κύριε τῆς δικαιοσύνης μου πρόσχες τῇ δεήσει μου ἐνώτισαι τῆς προσευχῆς μου οὐκ ἐν χείλεσιν δολίοις 2 ἐκ προσώπου σου τὸ κρίμα μου ἐξέλθοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἰδέτωσαν εὐθύτητας 3 ἐδοκίμασας τὴν καρδίαν μου ἐπεσκέψω νυκτός ἐπύρωσάς με καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθη ἐν ἐμοὶ ἀδικία 4 ὅπως ἂν μὴ λαλήσῃ τὸ στόμα μου τὰ ἔργα τῶν ἀνθρώπων διὰ τοὺς λόγους τῶν χειλέων σου ἐγὼ ἐφύλαξα ὁδοὺς σκληράς 5 κατάρτισαι τὰ διαβήματά μου ἐν ταῖς τρίβοις σου ἵνα μὴ σαλευθῶσιν τὰ διαβήματά μου 6 ἐγὼ ἐκέκραξα ὅτι ἐπήκουσάς μου ὁ θεός κλῖνον τὸ οὖς σου ἐμοὶ καὶ εἰσάκουσον τῶν ῥημάτων μου 7 θαυμάστωσον τὰ ἐλέη σου ὁ σῴζων τοὺς ἐλπίζοντας ἐπὶ σὲ ἐκ τῶν ἀνθεστηκότων τῇ δεξιᾷ σου 8 φύλαξόν με ὡς κόραν ὀφθαλμοῦ ἐν σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύγων σου σκεπάσεις με 9 ἀπὸ προσώπου ἀσεβῶν τῶν ταλαιπωρησάντων με οἱ ἐχθροί μου τὴν ψυχήν μου περιέσχον 10 τὸ στέαρ αὐτῶν συνέκλεισαν τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν ἐλάλησεν ὑπερηφανίαν 11 ἐκβάλλοντές με νυνὶ περιεκύκλωσάν με τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν ἔθεντο ἐκκλῖναι ἐν τῇ γῇ 12 ὑπέλαβόν με ὡσεὶ λέων ἕτοιμος εἰς θήραν καὶ ὡσεὶ σκύμνος οἰκῶν ἐν ἀποκρύφοις 13 ἀνάστηθι κύριε πρόφθασον αὐτοὺς καὶ ὑποσκέλισον αὐτούς ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου ἀπὸ ἀσεβοῦς ῥομφαίαν σου ἀπὸ ἐχθρῶν τῆς χειρός σου 14 κύριε ἀπὸ ὀλίγων ἀπὸ γῆς διαμέρισον αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτῶν καὶ τῶν κεκρυμμένων σου ἐπλήσθη ἡ γαστὴρ αὐτῶν ἐχορτάσθησαν υἱῶν καὶ ἀφῆκαν τὰ κατάλοιπα τοῖς νηπίοις αὐτῶν 15 ἐγὼ δὲ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ ὀφθήσομαι τῷ προσώπῳ σου χορτασθήσομαι ἐν τῷ ὀφθῆναι τὴν δόξαν σου 1 Hear, O Lord, my justice: attend to my supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which proceeds not from deceitful lips. 2 Let my judgment come forth from your countenance: let your eyes behold the things that are equitable. 3 You have proved my heart, and visited it by night, you have tried me by fire: and iniquity has not been found in me. 4 That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the sake of the words of your lips, I have kept hard ways. 5 Perfect my goings in your paths: that my footsteps be not moved. 6 I have cried to you, for you, O God, have heard me: O incline your ear unto me, and hear my words. 7 Show forth your wonderful mercies; you who save them that trust in you. 8 From them that resist your right hand keep me, as the apple of your eye. Protect me under the shadow of your wings. 9 From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul: 10 They have shut up their fat: their mouth has spoken proudly. 11 They have cast me forth, and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth. 12 They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a young lion dwelling in secret places. 13 Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; deliver my soul from the wicked one; your sword 14 from the enemies of your hand. O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: their belly is filled from your hidden stores. They are full of children: and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance. 15 But as for me, I will appear before your sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when your glory shall appear. 1 Exaudi, Domine, justitiam meam; intende deprecationem meam. Auribus percipe orationem meam, non in labiis dolosis. 2 De vultu tuo judicium meum prodeat; oculi tui videant æquitates. 3 Probasti cor meum, et visitasti nocte; igne me examinasti, et non est inventa in me iniquitas. 4 Ut non loquatur os meum opera hominum : propter verba labiorum tuorum, ego custodivi vias duras. 5 Perfice gressus meos in semitis tuis, ut non moveantur vestigia mea. 6 Ego clamavi, quoniam exaudisti me, Deus; inclina aurem tuam mihi, et exaudi verba mea. 7 Mirifica misericordias tuas, qui salvos facis sperantes in te. 8 A resistentibus dexteræ tuæ custodi me ut pupillam oculi. Sub umbra alarum tuarum protege me 9 a facie impiorum qui me afflixerunt. Inimici mei animam meam circumdederunt; 10 adipem suum concluserunt : os eorum locutum est superbiam. 11 Projicientes me nunc circumdederunt me; oculos suos statuerunt declinare in terram. 12 Susceperunt me sicut leo paratus ad prædam, et sicut catulus leonis habitans in abditis. 13 Exsurge, Domine : præveni eum, et supplanta eum : eripe animam meam ab impio; frameam tuam 14 ab inimicis manus tuæ. Domine, a paucis de terra divide eos in vita eorum; de absconditis tuis adimpletus est venter eorum. Saturati sunt filiis, et dimiserunt reliquias suas parvulis suis. 15 Ego autem in justitia apparebo conspectui tuo; satiabor cum apparuerit gloria tua.
