  [7] And the congregation of the nations shall compass thee: and for this cause do thou return on high.

  [9] κύριος κρινεῖ λαούς· κρῖνόν με, κύριε, κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἀκακίαν μου ἐπ’ ἐμοί.

  [8] The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.

  [10] συντελεσθήτω δὴ πονηρία ἁμαρτωλῶν, καὶ κατευθυνεῖς δίκαιον· ἐτάζων καρδίας καὶ νεφροὺς ὁ θεός.

  [9] Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and then thou shalt direct the righteous, O God that searchest the hearts and reins.

  [11] δικαία ἡ βοήθειά μου παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ σῴζοντος τοὺς εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ.

  [10] My help is righteous, coming from God who saves the upright in heart.

  [12] ὁ θεὸς κριτὴς δίκαιος καὶ ἰσχυρὸς καὶ μακρόθυμος μὴ ὀργὴν ἐπάγων καθ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν.

  [11] God is a righteous judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.

  [13] ἐὰν μὴ ἐπιστραφῆτε, τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ στιλβώσει· τὸ τόξον αὐτοῦ ἐνέτεινεν καὶ ἡτοίμασεν αὐτὸ

  [12] If ye will not repent, he will furbish his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.

  [14] καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ ἡτοίμασεν σκεύη θανάτου, τὰ βέλη αὐτοῦ τοῖς καιομένοις ἐξειργάσατο.

  [13] And on it he has fitted the instruments of death; he has completed his arrows for the raging ones.

  [15] ἰδοὺ ὠδίνησεν ἀδικίαν, συνέλαβεν πόνον καὶ ἔτεκεν ἀνομίαν·

  [14] Behold, he has travailed with unrighteousness, he has conceived trouble, and brought forth iniquity.

  [16] λάκκον ὤρυξεν καὶ ἀνέσκαψεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς βόθρον, ὃν εἰργάσατο·

  [15] He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.

  [17] ἐπιστρέψει ὁ πόνος αὐτοῦ εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ κορυφὴν αὐτοῦ ἡ ἀδικία αὐτοῦ καταβήσεται.

  [16] His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.

  [18] ἐξομολογήσομαι κυρίῳ κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ καὶ ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ ὑψίστου.

  [17] I will give thanks to the Lord according to his righteousness; I will sing to the name of the Lord most high.

  Ψαλμός 8

  Psalm 8

  [1] Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῶν ληνῶν· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ.

  For the end, concerning the wine-presses, a Psalm of David.

  [2] Κύριε ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν, ὡς θαυμαστὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ, ὅτι ἐπήρθη ἡ μεγαλοπρέπειά σου ὑπεράνω τῶν οὐρανῶν.

  [1] O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth! for thy magnificence is exalted above the heavens.

  [3] ἐκ στόματος νηπίων καὶ θηλαζόντων κατηρτίσω αἶνον ἕνεκα τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου τοῦ καταλῦσαι ἐχθρὸν καὶ ἐκδικητήν.

  [2] Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou perfected praise, because of thine enemies; that thou mightest put down the enemy and avenger.

  [4] ὅτι ὄψομαι τοὺς οὐρανούς, ἔργα τῶν δακτύλων σου, σελήνην καὶ ἀστέρας, ἃ σὺ ἐθεμελίωσας.

  [3] For I will regard the heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and stars, which thou hast established.

  [5] τί ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος, ὅτι μιμνῄσκῃ αὐτοῦ, ἢ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου, ὅτι ἐπισκέπτῃ αὐτόν;

  [4] What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

  [6] ἠλάττωσας αὐτὸν βραχύ τι παρ’ ἀγγέλους, δόξῃ καὶ τιμῇ ἐστεφάνωσας αὐτόν·

  [5] Thou madest him a little less than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour;

  [7] καὶ κατέστησας αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σου, πάντα ὑπέταξας ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ,

  [6] and thou hast set him over the works of thy hands: thou hast put all things under his feet:

  [8] πρόβατα καὶ βόας πάσας, ἔτι δὲ καὶ τὰ κτήνη τοῦ πεδίου,

  [7] sheep and all oxen, yea and the cattle of the field;

  [9] τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἰχθύας τῆς θαλάσσης, τὰ διαπορευόμενα τρίβους θαλασσῶν.

  [8] the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the creatures passing through the paths of the sea.

  [10] κύριε ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν, ὡς θαυμαστὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ.

  [9] O Lord our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth!

  Ψαλμός 9

  Psalm 9

  [1] Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῶν κρυφίων τοῦ υἱοῦ· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ.

  For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning the secrets of the Son.

  [2] Ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι, κύριε, ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου, διηγήσομαι πάντα τὰ θαυμάσιά σου·

  [2] I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will recount all thy wonderful works.

  [3] εὐφρανθήσομαι καὶ ἀγαλλιάσομαι ἐν σοί, ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου, ὕψιστε.

  [3] I will be glad and exult in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou Most High.

  [4] ἐν τῷ ἀποστραφῆναι τὸν ἐχθρόν μου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω ἀσθενήσουσιν καὶ ἀπολοῦνται ἀπὸ προσώπου σου,

  [4] When mine enemies are turned back, they shall be feeble and perish at thy presence.

  [5] ὅτι ἐποίησας τὴν κρίσιν μου καὶ τὴν δίκην μου, ἐκάθισας ἐπὶ θρόνου, ὁ κρίνων δικαιοσύνην.

  [5] For thou hast maintained my cause and my right; thou satest on the throne, that judgest righteousness.

  [6] ἐπετίμησας ἔθνεσιν, καὶ ἀπώλετο ὁ ἀσεβής, τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ἐξήλειψας εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος·

  [6] Thou hast rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever.

  [7] τοῦ ἐχθροῦ ἐξέλιπον αἱ ῥομφαῖαι εἰς τέλος, καὶ πόλεις καθεῖλες, ἀπώλετο τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν μετ’ ἤχους.

  [7] The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and thou hast destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise,

  [8] καὶ ὁ κύριος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένει, ἡτοίμασεν ἐν κρίσει τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ,

  [8] but the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.

  [9] καὶ αὐτὸς κρινεῖ τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ, κρινεῖ λαοὺς ἐν εὐθύτητι.

  [9] And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge th
e nations in uprightness.

  [10] καὶ ἐγένετο κύριος καταφυγὴ τῷ πένητι, βοηθὸς ἐν εὐκαιρίαις ἐν θλίψει·

  [10] The Lord also is become a refuge for the poor, a seasonable help, in affliction.

  [11] καὶ ἐλπισάτωσαν ἐπὶ σὲ οἱ γινώσκοντες τὸ ὄνομά σου, ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπες τοὺς ἐκζητοῦντάς σε, κύριε.

  [11] And let them that know thy name hope in thee: for thou, O Lord, hast not failed them that diligently seek thee.

  [12] ψάλατε τῷ κυρίῳ τῷ κατοικοῦντι ἐν Σιων, ἀναγγείλατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ,

  [12] Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Sion: declare his dealings among the nations.

  [13] ὅτι ἐκζητῶν τὰ αἵματα αὐτῶν ἐμνήσθη, οὐκ ἐπελάθετο τῆς κραυγῆς τῶν πενήτων.

  [13] For he remembered them, in making inquisition for blood: he has not forgotten the supplication of the poor.

  [14] ἐλέησόν με, κύριε, ἰδὲ τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου, ὁ ὑψῶν με ἐκ τῶν πυλῶν τοῦ θανάτου,

  [14] Have mercy upon me, O Lord; look upon my affliction which I suffer of mine enemies, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

  [15] ὅπως ἂν ἐξαγγείλω πάσας τὰς αἰνέσεις σου ἐν ταῖς πύλαις τῆς θυγατρὸς Σιων· ἀγαλλιάσομαι ἐπὶ τῷ σωτηρίῳ σου.

  [15] that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion: I will exult in thy salvation.

  [16] ἐνεπάγησαν ἔθνη ἐν διαφθορᾷ, ᾗ ἐποίησαν, ἐν παγίδι ταύτῃ, ᾗ ἔκρυψαν, συνελήμφθη ὁ ποὺς αὐτῶν·

  [16] The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the very snare which they hid is their foot taken.

  [17] γινώσκεται κύριος κρίματα ποιῶν, ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ συνελήμφθη ὁ ἁμαρτωλός. ᾠδὴ διαψάλματος.

  [17] The Lord is known as executing judgments: the sinner is taken in the works of his hands. (A song of Pause).

  [18] ἀποστραφήτωσαν οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ εἰς τὸν ᾅδην, πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ἐπιλανθανόμενα τοῦ θεοῦ·

  [18] Let sinners be driven away into Hades, even all the nations that forget God.

  [19] ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τέλος ἐπιλησθήσεται ὁ πτωχός, ἡ ὑπομονὴ τῶν πενήτων οὐκ ἀπολεῖται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

  [19] For the poor shall not be forgotten for ever: the patience of the needy ones shall not perish for ever.

  [20] ἀνάστηθι, κύριε, μὴ κραταιούσθω ἄνθρωπος, κριθήτωσαν ἔθνη ἐνώπιόν σου·

  [20] Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged before thee.

  [21] κατάστησον, κύριε, νομοθέτην ἐπ’ αὐτούς, γνώτωσαν ἔθνη ὅτι ἄνθρωποί εἰσιν. διάψαλμα.

  [21] Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: let the heathen know that they are men. (Pause).

  [22] Ἱνα τί, κύριε, ἀφέστηκας μακρόθεν, ὑπερορᾷς ἐν εὐκαιρίαις ἐν θλίψει;

  [22] Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? why dost thou overlook us in times of need, in affliction?

  [23] ἐν τῷ ὑπερηφανεύεσθαι τὸν ἀσεβῆ ἐμπυρίζεται ὁ πτωχός, συλλαμβάνονται ἐν διαβουλίοις, οἷς διαλογίζονται.

  [23] While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued: the wicked are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.

  [24] ὅτι ἐπαινεῖται ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς ἐν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ ἀδικῶν ἐνευλογεῖται·

  [24] Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.

  [25] παρώξυνεν τὸν κύριον ὁ ἁμαρτωλός Κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῆς ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐκζητήσει· οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ θεὸς ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.

  [25] The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after him: God is not before him.

  [26] βεβηλοῦνται αἱ ὁδοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ, ἀνταναιρεῖται τὰ κρίματά σου ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ κατακυριεύσει·

  [26] His ways are profane at all times; thy judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.

  [27] εἶπεν γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ Οὐ μὴ σαλευθῶ, ἀπὸ γενεᾶς εἰς γενεὰν ἄνευ κακοῦ.

  [27] For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, continuing without evil from generation to generation.

  [28] οὗ ἀρᾶς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ γέμει καὶ πικρίας καὶ δόλου, ὑπὸ τὴν γλῶσσαν αὐτοῦ κόπος καὶ πόνος.

  [28] Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.

  [29] ἐγκάθηται ἐνέδρᾳ μετὰ πλουσίων ἐν ἀποκρύφοις ἀποκτεῖναι ἀθῷον, οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν πένητα ἀποβλέπουσιν·

  [29] He lies in wait with rich men in secret places, in order to slay the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.

  [30] ἐνεδρεύει ἐν ἀποκρύφῳ ὡς λέων ἐν τῇ μάνδρᾳ αὐτοῦ, ἐνεδρεύει τοῦ ἁρπάσαι πτωχόν, ἁρπάσαι πτωχὸν ἐν τῷ ἑλκύσαι αὐτόν·

  [30] He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him after him: he will bring him down in his snare.

  [31] ἐν τῇ παγίδι αὐτοῦ ταπεινώσει αὐτόν, κύψει καὶ πεσεῖται ἐν τῷ αὐτὸν κατακυριεῦσαι τῶν πενήτων.

  [31] He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.

  [32] εἶπεν γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ Ἐπιλέλησται ὁ θεός, ἀπέστρεψεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν εἰς τέλος.

  [32] For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face so as never to look.

  [33] ἀνάστηθι, κύριε ὁ θεός, ὑψωθήτω ἡ χείρ σου, μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ τῶν πενήτων·

  [33] Arise, O Lord God; let thy hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.

  [34] ἕνεκεν τίνος παρώξυνεν ὁ ἀσεβὴς τὸν θεόν; εἶπεν γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ Οὐκ ἐκζητήσει.

  [34] Wherefore, has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He will not require it.

  [35] βλέπεις, ὅτι σὺ πόνον καὶ θυμὸν κατανοεῖς τοῦ παραδοῦναι αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖράς σου· σοὶ οὖν ἐγκαταλέλειπται ὁ πτωχός, ὀρφανῷ σὺ ἦσθα βοηθῶν.

  [35] Thou seest it; for thou dost observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into thy hands: the poor has been left to thee; thou wast a helper to the orphan.

  [36] σύντριψον τὸν βραχίονα τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ καὶ πονηροῦ, ζητηθήσεται ἡ ἁμαρτία αὐτοῦ, κα
ὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ δι’ αὐτήν·

  [36] Break thou the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.

  [37] βασιλεύσει κύριος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος, ἀπολεῖσθε, ἔθνη, ἐκ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ.

  [37] The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish out his land.

  [38] τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν τῶν πενήτων εἰσήκουσεν κύριος, τὴν ἑτοιμασίαν τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν προσέσχεν τὸ οὖς σου

  [38] The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: thine ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart;

  [39] κρῖναι ὀρφανῷ καὶ ταπεινῷ, ἵνα μὴ προσθῇ ἔτι τοῦ μεγαλαυχεῖν ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

  [39] to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.

  Ψαλμός 10

  Psalm 10

  Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ.

  For the end, A Psalm of David,

  ΕΠΙ τῷ Κυρίῳ πέποιθα· πῶς ἐρεῖτε τῇ ψυχῇ μου· μεταναστεύου ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη ὡς στρουθίον;

  In the Lord I have put my trust: how will ye say to my soul, Flee to the mountains as a sparrow?

  [2] ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐνέτειναν τόξον, ἡτοίμασαν βέλη εἰς φαρέτραν τοῦ κατατοξεῦσαι ἐν σκοτομήνῃ τοὺς εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ.

  [2] For behold the sinners have bent their bow, they have prepared their arrows for the quiver, to shoot privily at the upright in heart.

  [3] ὅτι ἃ σὺ κατηρτίσω, αὐτοὶ καθεῖλον· ὁ δὲ δίκαιος τί ἐποίησε;

  [3] For they have pulled down what thou didst frame, but what has the righteous done?
