| 1 εἰς τὸ τέλος ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ | 1 (To the choir-master. A psalm. Of David.) | 1 In finem. Psalmus David. |
| 2 οἱ οὐρανοὶ διηγοῦνται δόξαν θεοῦ ποίησιν δὲ χειρῶν αὐτοῦ ἀναγγέλλει τὸ στερέωμα 3 ἡμέρα τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐρεύγεται ῥῆμα καὶ νὺξ νυκτὶ ἀναγγέλλει γνῶσιν 4 οὐκ εἰσὶν λαλιαὶ οὐδὲ λόγοι ὧν οὐχὶ ἀκούονται αἱ φωναὶ αὐτῶν 5 εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἐξῆλθεν ὁ φθόγγος αὐτῶν καὶ εἰς τὰ πέρατα τῆς οἰκουμένης τὰ ῥήματα αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ ἡλίῳ ἔθετο τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ 6 καὶ αὐτὸς ὡς νυμφίος ἐκπορευόμενος ἐκ παστοῦ αὐτοῦ ἀγαλλιάσεται ὡς γίγας δραμεῖν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ 7 ἀ{P'} ἄκρου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἡ ἔξοδος αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ κατάντημα αὐτοῦ ἕως ἄκρου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὃς ἀποκρυβήσεται τὴν θέρμην αὐτοῦ | 2 See how the skies proclaim God’s glory, how the vault of heaven betrays his craftsmanship! 3 Each day echoes its secret to the next, each night passes on to the next its revelation of knowledge; 4 no word, no accent of theirs that does not make itself heard,[1] 5 till their utterance fills every land, till their message reaches the ends of the world. 6 In these, he has made a pavilion for the sun, which comes out as a bridegroom comes from his bed, and exults like some great runner who sees the track before him. 7 Here, at one end of heaven, is its starting-place, and its course reaches to the other; none can escape its burning heat. | 2 Cæli enarrant gloriam Dei, et opera manuum ejus annuntiat firmamentum. 3 Dies diei eructat verbum, et nox nocti indicat scientiam. 4 Non sunt loquelæ, neque sermones, quorum non audiantur voces eorum. 5 In omnem terram exivit sonus eorum, et in fines orbis terræ verba eorum. 6 In sole posuit tabernaculum suum; et ipse tamquam sponsus procedens de thalamo suo. Exsultavit ut gigas ad currendam viam; 7 a summo cælo egressio ejus. Et occursus ejus usque ad summum ejus; nec est qui se abscondat a calore ejus. |
| 8 ὁ νόμος τοῦ κυρίου ἄμωμος ἐπιστρέφων ψυχάς ἡ μαρτυρία κυρίου πιστή σοφίζουσα νήπια 9 τὰ δικαιώματα κυρίου εὐθεῖα εὐφραίνοντα καρδίαν ἡ ἐντολὴ κυρίου τηλαυγής φωτίζουσα ὀφθαλμούς 10 ὁ φόβος κυρίου ἁγνός διαμένων εἰς αἰῶνα αἰῶνος τὰ κρίματα κυρίου ἀληθινά δεδικαιωμένα ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό 11 ἐπιθυμητὰ ὑπὲρ χρυσίον καὶ λίθον τίμιον πολὺν καὶ γλυκύτερα ὑπὲρ μέλι καὶ κηρίον 12 καὶ γὰρ ὁ δοῦλός σου φυλάσσει αὐτά ἐν τῷ φυλάσσειν αὐτὰ ἀνταπόδοσις πολλή 13 παραπτώματα τίς συνήσει ἐκ τῶν κρυφίων μου καθάρισόν με 14 καὶ ἀπὸ ἀλλοτρίων φεῖσαι τοῦ δούλου σου ἐὰν μή μου κατακυριεύσωσιν τότε ἄμωμος ἔσομαι καὶ καθαρισθήσομαι ἀπὸ ἁμαρτίας μεγάλης 15 καὶ ἔσονται εἰς εὐδοκίαν τὰ λόγια τοῦ στόματός μου καὶ ἡ μελέτη τῆς καρδίας μου ἐνώπιόν σου διὰ παντός κύριε βοηθέ μου καὶ λυτρωτά μου | 8 The Lord’s perfect law, how it brings the soul back to life; the Lord’s unchallengeable decrees, how they make the simple learned! 9 How plain are the duties which the Lord enjoins, the treasure of man’s heart; how clear is the commandment the Lord gives, the enlightenment of man’s eyes! 10 How sacred a thing is the fear of the Lord, which is binding for ever; how unerring are the awards which the Lord makes, one and all giving proof of their justice! 11 All these are more precious than gold, than a hoard of pure gold, sweeter than the honey, dripping from its comb. 12 By these I, thy servant, live, observing them how jealously! 13 And yet, who knows his own frailties? If I have sinned unwittingly, do thou absolve me. 14 Keep me ever thy own servant, far from pride; so long as this does not lord it over me, I will yet be without fault, I will yet be innocent of the great sin. 15 Every word on my lips, every thought in my heart, what thou wouldst have it be, O Lord, my defender, my redeemer! | 8 Lex Domini immaculata, convertens animas; testimonium Domini fidele, sapientiam præstans parvulis. 9 Justitiæ Domini rectæ, lætificantes corda; præceptum Domini lucidum, illuminans oculos. 10 Timor Domini sanctus, permanens in sæculum sæculi; judicia Domini vera, justificata in semetipsa, 11 desiderabilia super aurum et lapidem pretiosum multum, et dulciora super mel et favum. 12 Etenim servus tuus custodit ea; in custodiendis illis retributio multa. 13 Delicta quis intelligit? ab occultis meis munda me; 14 et ab alienis parce servo tuo. Si mei non fuerint dominati, tunc immaculatus ero, et emundabor a delicto maximo. 15 Et erunt ut complaceant eloquia oris mei, et meditatio cordis mei in conspectu tuo semper. Domine, adjutor meus, et redemptor meus. |
