1ειϲ το τελοϲ μη διαφθειρηϲ τω δαυειδʼ ειϲ ϲτηλογραφιαν 2ει αληθωϲ αρα δικαιοϲυνην λαλειτε ευθεια κρινετε οι υιοι των ανθρωπω 3και γαρ εν καρδια ανομιαϲ εργαζεϲθε εν τη γη αδικιαν αι χειρεϲ υμων ϲυνπλεκουϲιν 4απηλλοτριωθηϲαν οι αμαρτωλοι απο μητραϲ επλανηθηϲαν απο γαϲτροϲ ελαληϲαν ψευδη 5θυμοϲ αυτοιϲ κατα την ομοιωϲιν του οφεωϲ ωϲει αϲπιδοϲ κωφηϲ και βυουϲηϲ τα ωτα αυτηϲ
1Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. 2I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me. 3He shall send from heaven, and save from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. 4My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. 5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
6ητιϲ ουκ ειϲακουϲεται φωνην επαδοντων φαρμακου τε φαρμακευομενου παρα ϲοφου 7ο θϲ ϲυνετριψεν τουϲ οδονταϲ αυτω εν τω ϲτοματι αυτων ταϲ μυλαϲ των λεοντων ϲυνεθλαϲεν κϲ 8εξουδενωθηϲονται ωϲ υδωρ διαπορευομενον εντενει το τοξον αυτου εωϲ ου αϲθενηϲουϲιν 9ωϲει κηροϲ ο τακειϲ ανταναιρεθηϲονται επεπεϲε πυρ και ουκ ειδον τον ηλιο 10προ του ϲυνειναι ταϲ ακανθαϲ ϋμω την ραμνον ωϲει ζωνταϲ ωϲει εν οργη καταπιεται αυτουϲ
6They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah. 7My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. 8Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. 9I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations. 10For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
11ευφρανθηϲεται δικαιοϲ οταν ϊδη εκδικηϲιν ταϲ χειραϲ αυτου νιψεται εν τω αιματι του αμαρτωλου 12και ερει ανθρωποϲ ει αρα εϲτιν καρποϲ τω δικαιω αρα εϲτιν ο θϲ κρινων αυτουϲ εν τη γη
11Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
