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: 101.
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 53. In the Hebrew and King James numbering the same psalm is Psalm 54. Greek verse numbers follow the Septuagint, which counts the superscription as verses 1 and 2; English verse numbers follow the KJV, so they run 2 behind the Greek. The Greek and English in each section are the same words of the same psalm.

¹Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength. ²Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. ³For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

⁴Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul. ⁵He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth. ⁶I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good. ⁷For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
