1ειϲ ϲαλωμων ο θϲ το κριμα ϲου τω βαϲιλει δοϲ και την δικαιοϲυνην ϲου τω υϊω του βαϲιλεωϲ 2κρινειν τον λαον ϲου εν δικαιοϲυνη και τουϲ πτωχουϲ ϲου εν κριϲει 3αναλαβετω τα ορη ειρηνην τω λαω και οι βουνοι εν δικαιοϲυνη 4κρινει τουϲ πτωχουϲ του λαου και ϲωϲει τουϲ υϊουϲ των πενητω και ταπεινωϲει ϲυκοφαντην 5και ϲυνπαραμενει τω ηλιω και προ τηϲ ϲεληνηϲ γενεαϲ γενεω
1Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son. 2He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. 3The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. 4He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. 5They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6και καταβηϲεται ωϲει υετοϲ επι ποκο και ωϲει ϲταγονεϲ ϲταζουϲαι επι την γην 7ανατελει εν ταιϲ ημεραιϲ αυτου δικαιοϲυνη και πληθοϲ ειρηνηϲ εωϲ του ανταναιρεθη η ϲεληνη 8και κατακυριευϲει απο θαλαϲϲηϲ εωϲ θαλαϲϲηϲ και απο ποταμου εωϲ περατων τηϲ οικουμενηϲ 9ενωπιον αυτου προπεϲουνται αιθιοπεϲ και οι εχθροι αυτου χουν λιξουϲιν 10βαϲιλειϲ θαρϲειϲ και αι νηϲοι δωρα προϲαξουϲιν βαϲιλειϲ αραβων και ϲαβα δωρα προϲοιϲουϲι
6He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. 7In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. 8He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. 9They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. 10The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11και προϲκυνηϲουϲιν αυτω παντεϲ οι βαϲιλειϲ τηϲ γηϲ παντα τα εθνη δουλευϲουϲιν αυτω 12οτι ερρυϲατο πτωχον εκ χειροϲ δυναϲτου και πενητα ω ουχ υπηρχεν βοηθοϲ 13φειϲεται πτωχου και πενητοϲ και ψυχαϲ πενητων ϲωϲει 14εκ τοκου και εξ αδικιαϲ λυτρωϲεται ταϲ ψυχαϲ αυτων και εντιμον το ονομα αυτου ενωπιον αυτων 15και ζηϲεται και δοθηϲεται αυτω εκ του χρυϲιου τηϲ αραβιαϲ και προϲευξονται περι αυτου δια παντοϲ ολην την ημεραν ευλογηϲουϲιν αυτο
11Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him. 12For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. 13He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. 14He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight. 15And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
16εϲται ϲτηριγμα εν τη γη επ ακρων των ορεων υπεραρθηϲεται ϋπερ τον λιβανον ο καρποϲ αυτου και εξανθηϲουϲιν εκ πολεωϲ ωϲει χορτοϲ τηϲ γηϲ 17εϲτω το ονομα αυτου ευλογημενο ειϲ τουϲ αιωναϲ προ του ηλιου διαμενει το ονομα αυτου και ευλογηθηϲονται εν αυτω παϲαι αι φυλαι τηϲ γηϲ παντα τα εθνη μακαριουϲιν αυτον 18ευλογητοϲ κϲ ο θϲ ιϲλ ο ποιων θαυμαϲια μονοϲ 19και ευλογητον το ονομα τηϲ δοξηϲ αυτου εν παϲη τη γη γενοιτο γενοιτο 20εξελιπον οι ϋμνοι δαυειδʼ του ϋι̇ου ϊεϲϲαι
16There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. 17His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed. 18Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. 19And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen. 20The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
