A Psalm of David. I will sing to thee, O Lord, of mercy and judgment; I will sing a psalm,
Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυίδ. Ἔλεος καὶ κρίσιν ᾄσομαί σοι, Κύριε·
and I will be wise in a blameless way. When wilt thou come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.
ψαλῶ καὶ συνήσω ἐν ὁδῷ ἀμώμῳ· πότε ἥξεις πρὸς μέ; διεπορευόμην ἐν ἀκακίᾳ καρδίας μου, ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ οἴκου μου.
I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful thing; I have hated transgressors.
Οὐ προεθέμην πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν μου πρᾶγμα παράνομον, ποιοῦντας παραβάσεις ἐμίσησα· οὐκ ἐκολλήθη μοικαρδία σκαμβὴ,
A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.
ἐκκλίνοντος ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ τοῦ πονηροῦ οὐκ ἐγίνωσκον.
Him that privily speaks against his neighbour, him have I driven from me: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart,—with him I have not eaten.
Τὸν καταλαλοῦντα λάθρα τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, τοῦτον ἐξεδίωκον· ὑπερηφάνῳ ὀφθαλμῷ καὶ ἀπλήστῳ καρδίᾳ, τούτῳ οὐ συνήσθιον.
Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me.
Οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἐπὶ τοὺς πιστοὺς τῆς γῆς, τοῦ συγκαθῆσθαι αὐτοὺς μετʼ ἐμοῦ· πορευόμενος ἐν ὁδῷ ἀμώμῳ, οὗτός μοι ἐλειτούργει.
The proud doer dwelt not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.
Οὐ κατῴκει ἐν μέσῳ τῆς οἰκίας μου ποιῶν ὑπερηφανίαν· λαλῶν ἄδικα οὐ κατεύθυνεν ἐναντίον τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου.
Early did I slay all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
Εἰς τὰς πρωΐας ἀπέκτενον πάντας τοὺς ἁμαρτωλοὺς τῆς γῆς, τοῦ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι ἐκ πόλεως Κυρίου πάντας τοὺς ἐργαζομένους τὴν ἀδικίαν.
