1τω δαυειδ οτε η γη αυτου καθιϲταται ο κϲ εβαϲιλευϲεν αγαλλιαϲεται η γη ευφρανθητωϲαν νηϲοι πολλαι 2νεφελη και γνοφοϲ κυκλω αυτου δικαιοϲυνη και κριμα κατορθωϲιϲ του θρονου αυτου 3πυρ εναντιον αυτου προπορευϲεται και φλογιει κυκλω τουϲ εχθρουϲ αυτου 4εφαναν αι αϲτραπαι αυτου τη οικουμενη ειδεν και εϲαλευθη η γη 5τα ορη ωϲει κηροϲ ετακηϲαν απο προϲωπου κυ απο προϲωπου παϲηϲ τηϲ γηϲ
1The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. 2Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. 3A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. 4His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. 5The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6ανηγγειλαν οι ουρανοι την δικαιοϲυνην αυτου ιδοϲαν παντεϲ οι λαοι την δοξαν αυτου 7αιϲχυνθητωϲαν παντεϲ οι πεποιθοτεϲ επι τοιϲ γλυπτοιϲ οι ενκαυχωμενοι εν τοιϲ ειδωλοιϲ αυτων προϲκυνηϲατε αυτω παντεϲ οι αγγελοι αυτου 8ηκουϲεν και ευφρανθη ϲιων και ηγαλλιαϲαντο αι θυγατερεϲ τηϲ ϊουδαιαϲ ενεκεν των κριματων ϲου κε 9οτι ϲυ ει κϲ υψιϲτοϲ επι παϲαν την γη ϲφοδρα ϋπερϋψωθηϲ επι πανταϲ τουϲ θεουϲ 10οι αγαπωντεϲ τον κν μειϲειτε πονηρο φυλαϲϲει κϲ ταϲ ψυχαϲ των οϲιων αυτου εκ χειροϲ αμαρτωλων ρυϲεται αυτουϲ
6The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. 7Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods. 8Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD. 9For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. 10Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11φωϲ ανετειλεν τω δικαιω και τοιϲ ευθεϲι τη καρδια ευφροϲυνη 12ευφρανθητε δικαιοι επι τω κω και εξομολογειϲθε τη μνημη τηϲ αγιωϲυνηϲ αυτου
11Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 12Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
