[1]ψαλμὸς τῷ ασαφ ὡς ἀγαθὸς τῷ ισραηλ ὁ θεός τοῖς εὐθέσι τῇ καρδίᾳ	[1]A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son;
[2]ἐμοῦ δὲ παρὰ μικρὸν ἐσαλεύθησαν οἱ πόδες παρ ὀλίγον ἐξεχύθη τὰ διαβήματά μου	[2]That he may judge Thy people with righteousness, and Thy poor with justice.
[3]ὅτι ἐζήλωσα ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀνόμοις εἰρήνην ἁμαρτωλῶν θεωρῶν	[3]Let the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills, through righteousness.
[4]ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀνάνευσις τῷ θανάτῳ αὐτῶν καὶ στερέωμα ἐν τῇ μάστιγι αὐτῶν	[4]May he judge the poor of the people, and save the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor.
[5]ἐν κόποις ἀνθρώπων οὐκ εἰσὶν καὶ μετὰ ἀνθρώπων οὐ μαστιγωθήσονται	[5]They shall fear Thee while the sun endureth, and so long as the moon, throughout all generations.
[6]διὰ τοῦτο ἐκράτησεν αὐτοὺς ἡ ὑπερηφανία περιεβάλοντο ἀδικίαν καὶ ἀσέβειαν αὐτῶν	[6]May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
[7]ἐξελεύσεται ὡς ἐκ στέατος ἡ ἀδικία αὐτῶν διήλθοσαν εἰς διάθεσιν καρδίας	[7]In his days let the righteous flourish, an abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.
[8]διενοήθησαν καὶ ἐλάλησαν ἐν πονηρίᾳ ἀδικίαν εἰς τὸ ὕψος ἐλάλησαν	[8]May he have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the River unto the ends of the earth.
[9]ἔθεντο εἰς οὐρανὸν τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτῶν διῆλθεν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς	[9]Let them that dwell in the wilderness bow before him; and his enemies lick the dust.
[10]διὰ τοῦτο ἐπιστρέψει ὁ λαός μου ἐνταῦθα καὶ ἡμέραι πλήρεις εὑρεθήσονται αὐτοῖς	[10]The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
[11]καὶ εἶπαν πῶς ἔγνω ὁ θεός καὶ εἰ ἔστιν γνῶσις ἐν τῷ ὑψίστῳ	[11]Yea, all kings shall prostrate themselves before him; all nations shall serve him.
[12]ἰδοὺ οὗτοι ἁμαρτωλοὶ καὶ εὐθηνοῦνται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατέσχον πλούτου	[12]For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
[13]καὶ εἶπα ἄρα ματαίως ἐδικαίωσα τὴν καρδίαν μου καὶ ἐνιψάμην ἐν ἀθῴοις τὰς χεῖράς μου	[13]He will have pity on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy he will save.
[14]καὶ ἐγενόμην μεμαστιγωμένος ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν καὶ ὁ ἔλεγχός μου εἰς τὰς πρωίας	[14]He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence, and precious will their blood be in his sight.
[15]εἰ ἔλεγον διηγήσομαι οὕτως ἰδοὺ τῇ γενεᾷ τῶν υἱῶν σου ἠσυνθέτηκα	[15]That they may live, and that he may give them of the gold of Sheba, that they may pray for him continually, yea, bless him all the day.
[16]καὶ ὑπέλαβον τοῦ γνῶναι τοῦτο κόπος ἐστὶν ἐναντίον μου	[16]May he be as a rich cornfield in the land upon the top of the mountains; may his fruit rustle like Lebanon; and may they blossom out of the city like grass of the earth.
[17]ἕως εἰσέλθω εἰς τὸ ἁγιαστήριον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ συνῶ εἰς τὰ ἔσχατα αὐτῶν	[17]May his name endure for ever; may his name be continued as long as the sun; may men also bless themselves by him; may all nations call him happy.
[18]πλὴν διὰ τὰς δολιότητας ἔθου αὐτοῖς κατέβαλες αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ἐπαρθῆναι	[18]Blessed be ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things;
[19]πῶς ἐγένοντο εἰς ἐρήμωσιν ἐξάπινα ἐξέλιπον ἀπώλοντο διὰ τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτῶν	[19]And blessed be His glorious name for ever; and let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.
[20]ὡσεὶ ἐνύπνιον ἐξεγειρομένου κύριε ἐν τῇ πόλει σου τὴν εἰκόνα αὐτῶν ἐξουδενώσεις	[20]The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

[28]ἐμοὶ δὲ τὸ προσκολλᾶσθαι τῷ θεῷ ἀγαθόν ἐστιν τίθεσθαι ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ τὴν ἐλπίδα μου τοῦ ἐξαγγεῖλαι πάσας τὰς αἰνέσεις σου ἐν ταῖς πύλαις τῆς θυγατρὸς σιων	28[No verse]
