1ειϲ το τελοϲ εν υμνοιϲ ϲυνεϲεωϲ τω δαυειδʼ 2εν τω ελθειν τουϲ ζειφαιουϲ και ειπειν τω ϲαουλ ουκ ιδου δαυειδ κεκρυπται παρ ημιν 3ο θϲ εν τω ονοματι ϲου ϲωϲον με και εν τη δυναμει ϲου κρεινον με 4ο θϲ ειϲακουϲον τηϲ προϲευχηϲ μου ενωτιϲαι τα ρηματα του ϲτοματοϲ μου 5οτι αλλοτριοι επανεϲτηϲαν επ εμε και κραταιοι εζητηϲαν την ψυχην μου ου προεθεντο τον θν ενωπιον αυτω διαψαλμα
1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. 2God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. 3Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God. 5There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.
6ϊδου γαρ ο θϲ βοηθει μοι και ο κϲ αντιλημπτωρ τηϲ ψυχηϲ μου 7αποϲτρεψει τα κακα τοιϲ εχθροιϲ μου εν τη αληθεια ϲου εξολεθρευϲον αυτουϲ 8εκουϲιωϲ θυϲω ϲοι εξομολογηϲομαι τω ονοματι ϲου κε οτι αγαθον 9οτι εκ παϲηϲ θλιψεωϲ ερρυϲω με και εν τοιϲ εχθροιϲ μου επειδεν ο οφθαλμοϲ μου
6Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
