Psalms 15

The inscription of a title to David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee.

Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.

στηλογραφία τῷ Δαυιδ φύλαξόν με κύριε ὅτι ἐπὶ σοὶ ἤλπισα

I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.

Dixi Domino : Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.

εἶπα τῷ κυρίῳ κύριός μου εἶ σύ ὅτι τῶν ἀγαθῶν μου οὐ χρείαν ἔχεις

To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.

Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.

τοῖς ἁγίοις τοῖς ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτοῦ ἐθαυμάστωσεν πάντα τὰ θελήματα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτοῖς

Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.

Multiplicatæ sunt infirmitates eorum : postea acceleraverunt. Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus, nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.

ἐπληθύνθησαν αἱ ἀσθένειαι αὐτῶν μετὰ ταῦτα ἐτάχυναν οὐ μὴ συναγάγω τὰς συναγωγὰς αὐτῶν ἐξ αἱμάτων οὐδὲ μὴ μνησθῶ τῶν ὀνομάτων αὐτῶν διὰ χειλέων μου

The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.

Dominus pars hæreditatis meæ, et calicis mei : tu es qui restitues hæreditatem meam mihi.

κύριος ἡ μερὶς τῆς κληρονομίας μου καὶ τοῦ ποτηρίου μου σὺ εἶ ὁ ἀποκαθιστῶν τὴν κληρονομίαν μου ἐμοί

The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.

Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris; etenim hæreditas mea præclara est mihi.

σχοινία ἐπέπεσάν μοι ἐν τοῖς κρατίστοις καὶ γὰρ ἡ κληρονομία μου κρατίστη μοί ἐστιν

I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover, my reins also have corrected me even till night.

Benedicam Dominum qui tribuit mihi intellectum; insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.

εὐλογήσω τὸν κύριον τὸν συνετίσαντά με ἔτι δὲ καὶ ἕως νυκτὸς ἐπαίδευσάν με οἱ νεφροί μου

I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.

Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper : quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.

προωρώμην τὸν κύριον ἐνώπιόν μου διὰ παντός ὅτι ἐκ δεξιῶν μού ἐστιν ἵνα μὴ σαλευθῶ

Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover, my flesh also shall rest in hope.

Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea; insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.

διὰ τοῦτο ηὐφράνθη ἡ καρδία μου καὶ ἠγαλλιάσατο ἡ γλῶσσά μου ἔτι δὲ καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου κατασκηνώσει ἐπ' ἐλπίδι

Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see corruption.

Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem.

ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψεις τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰς ᾅδην οὐδὲ δώσεις τὸν ὅσιόν σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν

Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.

Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ; adimplebis me lætitia cum vultu tuo : delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.

ἐγνώρισάς μοι ὁδοὺς ζωῆς πληρώσεις με εὐφροσύνης μετὰ τοῦ προσώπου σου τερπνότητες ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ σου εἰς τέλος
