GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Μικταμ του Δαβιδ.>> Φυλαξον με, Θεε, διοτι επι σε ηλπισα.	1 A Prayer of David. Lord, listen to my justice, attend to my supplication. Pay attention to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.
2 Συ ψυχη μου, ειπας προς τον Κυριον, συ εισαι ο Κυριος μου? η αγαθοτης μου δεν εκτεινεται εις σε?	2 Let my judgment proceed from your presence. Let your eyes behold fairness.
3 Αλλ' εις τους αγιους τους οντας εν τη γη και εις τους εξαιρετους, εις τους οποιους ειναι ολη μου η ευχαριστησις.	3 You have tested my heart and visited it by night. You have examined me by fire, and iniquity has not been found in me.
4 Οι πονοι των τρεχοντων κατοπιν αλλων θεων θελουσι πολλαπλασιασθη? εγω δεν θελω προσφερει τας εξ αιματος σπονδας αυτων, ουδε θελω λαβει εις τα χειλη μου τα ονοματα αυτων.	4 Therefore, may my mouth not speak the works of men. I have kept to difficult ways because of the words of your lips.
5 Ο Κυριος ειναι η μερις της κληρονομιας μου και του ποτηριου μου? συ διαφυλαττεις τον κληρον μου.	5 Perfect my steps in your paths, so that my footsteps may not be disturbed.
6 Αι μεριδες μου επεσον εις τοπους τερπνους? ελαβον ωραιοτατην κληρονομιαν.	6 I have cried out because you, O God, have listened to me. Incline your ear to me and heed my words.
7 Θελω ευλογει τον Κυριον τον νουθετησαντα με? ετι και εν καιρω νυκτος με διδασκουσιν οι νεφροι μου.	7 Make your mercies wonderful, for you save those who hope in you.
8 Ενωπιον μου ειχον τον Κυριον διαπαντος? διοτι ειναι εκ δεξιων μου, δια να μη σαλευθω.	8 From those who resist your right hand, preserve me like the pupil of your eye. Protect me under the shadow of your wings,
9 Δια τουτο ευφρανθη η καρδια μου και ηγαλλιασεν η γλωσσα μου? ετι δε και η σαρξ μου θελει αναπαυθη επ' ελπιδι.	9 from the face of the impious who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul.
10 Διοτι δεν θελεις εγκαταλειψει την ψυχην μου εν τω αδη, ουδε θελεις αφησει τον Οσιον σου να ιδη διαφθοραν.	10 They have concealed their fatness; their mouth has been speaking arrogantly.
11 Εφανερωσας εις εμε την οδον της ζωης? χορτασμος ευφροσυνης ειναι το προσωπον σου? τερπνοτητες ειναι διαπαντος εν τη δεξια σου.	11 They have cast me out, and now they have surrounded me. They have cast their eyes down to the earth.
	12 They have taken me, like a lion ready for the prey, and like a young lion dwelling in hiding.
	13 Rise up, O Lord, arrive before him and displace him. Deliver my soul from the impious one: your spear from the enemies of your hand.
	14 Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life. Their gut has been filled from your hidden stores. They have been filled with sons, and they have bequeathed to their little ones the remainder.
	15 But as for me, I will appear before your sight in justice. I will be satisfied when your glory appears.
