1ειϲ το τελοϲ εν ψαλμοιϲ ωδη τω δαυειδ 2εν τω επικαλειϲθαι με ειϲηκουϲεν μου ο θϲ τηϲ δικαιοϲυνηϲ μου εν θλιψει επλατυναϲ μοι οικτειρηϲον με και ειϲακουϲον τηϲ προϲευχηϲ μου 3ϋιοι ανθρωπων εωϲ ποτε βαρυκαρδιοι ϊνα τι αγαπατε ματαιοτητα και ζητειτε ψευδοϲ διαψαλμα 4και γνωτε οτι εθαυμαϲτωϲεν κϲ τον οϲιον αυτου κϲ ειϲακουϲεται μου εν τω κεκραγεναι με προϲ αυτον 5κοιταιϲ ϋμων κατανυγητε διαψαλμα
1Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. 2O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah. 3But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. 4Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. 5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6θυϲατε θυϲιαν δικαιοϲυνηϲ και ελ>πιϲατε επι κν 7πολλοι λεγουϲιν τιϲ δειξει ημιν τα αγαθα εϲημιωθη εφ ημαϲ το φωϲ του προϲωπου ϲου κε 8εδωκαϲ ευφροϲυνην ειϲ την καρδιαν μου απο καρπου ϲιτου και οινου και ελαιου αυτων επληθυνθηϲαν 9εν ειρηνη επι το αυτο κοιμηθηϲομαι και ϋπνωϲω οτι ϲυ κε κατα μοναϲ επ ελπιδι κατωκιϲαϲ με
6There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. 7Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. 8I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
