Psalm 11 (Septuagint) = Psalm 12 (KJV)
Introduction
This entry meets the strict three-criteria standard of the Theosis Library, with the manuscript text drawn directly from the same source as the scan:
- Manuscript scan: The actual folio of Codex Sinaiticus containing this passage, from the Codex Sinaiticus Project (codexsinaiticus.org). Library folio reference: 90.
- Original text: The verbatim transcription of the Sinaiticus manuscript from the Codex Sinaiticus Project, preserving uncial forms, lunate sigma, nomina sacra (e.g. ⟨θϲ⟩ = θεός), and scribal marks. Nomina sacra are shown in angle brackets to indicate the manuscript's sacred-name abbreviations.
- English translation: The King James Version (1611), retrieved verbatim from the public-domain bible-api.com endpoint.
Numbering: Codex Sinaiticus follows the Septuagint Psalter, in which this is Psalm 11. In the Hebrew and King James numbering the same psalm is Psalm 12. Greek verse numbers follow the Septuagint, which counts the superscription as verse 1; English verse numbers follow the KJV, so they run 1 behind the Greek. The Greek and English in each section are the same words of the same psalm.

1ειϲ το τελοϲ ϋπερ τηϲ ογδοηϲ ψαλμοϲ τω δαυειδ 2ϲωϲον με κε οτι εκλελοιπεν οϲιοϲ οτι ωλιγωθηϲαν αι αληθειαι απο > των υιων των ανθρωπων 3ματαια ελαληϲαν εκαϲτοϲ προϲ τον πληϲιον αυτου χειλη δολια εν καρδια και εν καρδια ελαληϲαν 4εξολεθρευϲαι κϲ παντα τα χειλη τα δολια και γλωϲϲαν μεγαλορημονα 5τουϲ ειπονταϲ την γλωϲϲαν ημων μεγαλυνουμεν τα χειλη ημων παρ ημων εϲτιν τιϲ ημων κϲ εϲτιν
1Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. 2They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. 3The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: 4Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
6απο τηϲ ταλαι>πωριαϲ των πτωχων και απο του ϲτεναγμου των πενητω νυν αναϲτηϲομαι λεγει κϲ θηϲομαι εν ϲωτηρια παρρηϲιαϲομαι εν αυτω 7τα λογια κυ λογια αγνα αργυριον πεπυρωμενον δοκιμιον τη γη κεκαθαριϲμενον επταπλαϲιωϲ 8ϲυ κε φυλαξειϲ ημαϲ και διατηρηϲειϲ ημαϲ απο τηϲ γενεαϲ ταυτηϲ και ειϲ τον αιωνα 9κυκλω οι αϲεβειϲ περιπατουϲιν κατα το ϋψοϲ ϲου επολυωρηϲαϲ τουϲ υιουϲ των ανθρωπων
5For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. 6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 8The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
