1ωδη των αναβαθμων ηρα τουϲ οφθαλμουϲ μου ειϲ τα ορη ποθεν ηξι η βοηθια μου 2η βοηθεια μου παρα κυ του ποιηϲαντοϲ τον ουρανον και την γην 3μη δωϲ ειϲ ϲαλον τον ποδα ϲου μηδε νυϲταξει ο φυλαϲϲων ϲε 4ιδου ου νυϲταξει ουδε εξυπνωϲει ο φυλαϲϲων τον ιϲλ 5κϲ φυλαξει ϲε κϲ ϲκεπη ϲου επι χειρα δεξιαν ϲου
1In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. 2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. 3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? 4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. 5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6ημεραϲ ο ηλιοϲ ουκ εκκαυϲει ϲε και η ϲεληνη την νυκτα 7κϲ φυλαξει ϲε απο παντοϲ κακου φυλαξαι την ψυχην ϲου 8κϲ φυλαξειϲ την ϊϲοδον ϲου και την εξοδον ϲου απο του νυν και εωϲ του αιωνοϲ
6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. 7I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
