1The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 3Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 4One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. 5For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6και νυν ϊδου ϋψωϲεν την κεφαλην μου επ εχθρουϲ μου εκυκλωϲα και εθυϲα εν τη ϲκηνη αυτου θυϲιαν αλαλαγμου αϲω και ψαλω τω κω 7ειϲακουϲον κε τηϲ φωνηϲ μου ηϲ εκεκραξα ελεηϲον με και ειϲακουϲον μου 8ϲοι ειπεν η καρδια μου εζητηϲεν το προϲωπον μου το προϲωπον ϲου κε ζητηϲω 9μη αποϲτρεψηϲ το προϲωπον ϲου απ εμου μη εκκλεινηϲ εν οργη απο του δουλου ϲου βοηθοϲ μου γενου μη εγκαταλιπηϲ με και μη υπεριδηϲ με ο θϲ ο ϲωτηρ μου 10οτι ο πηρ μου και η μηρ μου εγκατελιπον με ο δε κϲ προϲελαβετο με
6And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD. 7Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. 8When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. 9Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. 10When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11νομοθετηϲον με κε τη οδω ϲου και οδηγηϲον με εν τριβω ευθεια ενεκα των εχθρων μου 12μη παραδωϲ με ειϲ ψυχαϲ θλιβοντων με οτι επανεϲτηϲαν μοι μαρτυρεϲ αδικοι και εψευϲατο η αδικια εαυτη 13πιϲτευϲω του ϊδειν τα αγαθα κυ εν γη ζωντων 14ϋπομεινον τον κν ανδριζου και κραταιουϲθω η καρδια ϲου και ϋπομεινον τον κν
11Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. 12Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. 13I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 14Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
