Psalms 53

εἰς τὸ τέλος ἐν ὕμνοις συνέσεως τῷ Δαυιδ

For the end, among the Hymns of instruction by David,

ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν τοὺς Ζιφαίους καὶ εἰπεῖν τῷ σαουλ οὐκ ἰδοὺ Δαυιδ κέκρυπται παρ᾿ ἡμῖν

when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hidden with us?

ὁ θεός ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου σῶσόν με καὶ ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου κρῖνόν με

Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me by thy might.

ὁ θεός εἰσάκουσον τῆς προσευχῆς μου ἐνώτισαι τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματός μου

O God, hear my prayer; Hearken to the words of my mouth.

ὅτι ἀλλότριοι ἐπανέστησαν ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ καὶ κραταιοὶ ἐζήτησαν τὴν ψυχήν μου οὐ προέθεντο τὸν θεὸν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν διάψαλμα

For strangers have risen up against me, And mighty men have sought my life: They have not set God before them. Pause.

ἰδοὺ γὰρ ὁ θεὸς βοηθεῖ μοι καὶ ὁ κύριος ἀντιλήμπτωρ τῆς ψυχῆς μου

For lo! God assists me; And the Lord is the helper of my soul.

ἀποστρέψει τὰ κακὰ τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου ἐξολέθρευσον αὐτούς

He shall return evil to mine enemies; Utterly destroy them in thy truth.

ἑκουσίως θύσω σοι ἐξομολογήσομαι τῷ ὀνόματί σου κύριε ὅτι ἀγαθόν

I will willingly sacrifice to thee: I will give thanks to thy name, O Lord; for it is good.

ὅτι ἐκ πάσης θλίψεως ἐρρύσω με καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου ἐπεῖδεν ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου

For thou hast delivered me out of all affliction, And mine eye has seen my desire upon mine enemies.
