Psalm 33 (Septuagint) = Psalm 34 (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: 95.
- 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 33. In the Hebrew and King James numbering the same psalm is Psalm 34. 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.

1I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. 3O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. 4I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. 6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 7The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
9γευϲαϲθε και ϊδετε οτι χρηϲτοϲ ο κϲ μακαριοϲ ανηρ οϲ ελπιζει επ αυτον 10φοβηθητε τον κν οι αγιοι αυτου οτι ουκ εϲτιν υϲτερημα τοιϲ φοβουμενοιϲ αυτον11πλουϲιοι επτωχευϲαν και επιναϲαν οι δε εκζητουντεϲ τον κν ουκ ελαττωθηϲονται παντοϲ αγαθου διαψαλμα 12δευτε τεκνα ακουϲατε μου φοβον κυ διδαξω ϋμαϲ 13τιϲ εϲτιν ανθρωποϲ ο θελων ζωην αγαπων ημεραϲ ϊδειν αγαθαϲ 14παυϲον την γλωϲϲαν ϲου απο κακου και χειλη του μη λαληϲαι δολον 15εκκλεινον απο κακου και ποιηϲον αγαθο ζητηϲον ειρηνην και διωξον αυτην 16οτι οφθαλμοι κυ επι δικαιουϲ και ωτα αυτου ειϲ δεηϲιν αυτων
8O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 9O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. 10The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. 11Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 12What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 13Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 14Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. 15The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
17προϲωπον δε κυ επι ποιουνταϲ κακα του εξολεθρευϲαι εκ γηϲ το μνημοϲυνον αυτων 18εκεκραξαν οι δικαιοι και ο κϲ ειϲηκουϲεν αυτων και εκ παϲων των θλιψεων αυτων ερρυϲατο αυτουϲ 19εγγυϲ κϲ τοιϲ ϲυντετριμμενοιϲ την καρδιαν και τουϲ ταπινουϲ τω πνι ϲωϲει 20πολλαι αι θλιψειϲ των δικαιων και εκ παϲων αυτων ρυϲεται αυτουϲ 21κϲ φυλαϲϲει παντα τα οϲτα αυτων εν εξ αυτων ου ϲυντριβηϲεται 22θανατοϲ αμαρτωλων πονηροϲ και οι μειϲουντεϲ τον δικαιον πλημμεληϲουϲιν 23λυτρωϲεται κϲ ψυχαϲ δουλων αυτου και ου μη πλημμεληϲωϲιν παντεϲ οι ελπιζοντεϲ επ αυτον
16The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 18The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 19Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. 20He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. 21Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. 22The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
