The Morning Offering
| 1 Τὰ ῥήματά μου ἐνώτισαι κύριε, σύνες τῆς κραυγῆς μου, 2 πρόσχες τῇ φωνῇ τῆς δεήσεώς μου, ὁ βασιλεύς μου καὶ ὁ θεός μου· ὅτι πρὸς σὲ προσεύξομαι κύριε, 3 τὸ πρωῒ εἰσακούσῃ τῆς φωνῆς μου· τὸ πρωῒ παραστήσομαί σοι, καὶ ἐπόψομαι. 4 ὅτι οὐχὶ θεὸς θέλων ἀνομίαν σὺ εἶ· οὐδὲ παροικήσει σοί πονηρευόμενος, 5 οὐ διαμενοῦσιν παράνομοι κατέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν σου· ἐμίσησας πάντας τοὺς ἐργαζομένους τὴν ἀνομίαν, 6 ἀπολεῖς πάντας τοὺς λαλοῦντας τὸ ψεῦδος· ἄνδρα αἱμάτων καὶ δόλιον βδελύσσεται κύριος. 7 ἐγὼ δὲ ἐν τῷ πλήθει τοῦ ἐλέους σου εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου, προσκυνήσω πρὸς ναὸν ἅγιόν σου ἐν φόβῳ σου. | 5.1 Give ear to my words, O Lord; understand my cry. 5.2 Attend to the voice of my petition, my King and my God; for to You I will pray, O Lord. 5.3 In the morning You shall hear my voice; in the morning I will stand before You, and I will look up. 5.4 For You are not a God who wills lawlessness; nor shall the one who acts wickedly dwell with You. 5.5 Nor shall the lawbreakers remain before Your eyes; You have hated all those who work lawlessness. 5.6 You will destroy all who speak a lie; the Lord detests a man of blood and deceit. 5.7 But I, in the abundance of Your mercy, will enter into Your house; I will worship toward Your holy temple in Your fear. |
The Way of the Righteous vs. The Deceitful
| 8 Κύριε ὁδήγησόν με ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ σου ἕνεκα τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου, κατεύθυνον σου ἐνώπιόν τὴν ὁδόν μου. 9 ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν ἀλήθεια· ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν ματαία· τάφος ἀνεῳγμένος ὁ λάρυγξ αὐτῶν· ταῖς γλώσσαις αὐτῶν ἐδολιοῦσαν. 10 κρῖνον αὐτούς ὁ θεός· ἀποπεσάτωσαν ἀπὸ τῶν διαβουλίων αὐτῶν· κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ἀσεβειῶν αὐτῶν ἔξωσον αὐτούς, ὅτι παρεπίκρανάν σὲ κύριε. | 5.8 O Lord, guide me in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make my way straight before You. 5.9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain. Their throat is an opened grave; they have dealt deceitfully with their tongues. 5.10 Judge them, O God; let them fall away from their counsels. According to the abundance of their impieties, cast them out, for they have embittered You, O Lord. |
The Shield of Favor
| 11 Καὶ εὐφρανθήτωσαν πάντες οἱ ἐλπίζοντες ἐπὶ σέ, εἰς αἰῶνα ἀγαλλιάσονται, καὶ κατασκηνώσεις ἐν αὐτοῖς· καὶ καυχήσονται ἐν σοί πάντες οἱ ἀγαπῶντες τὸ ὄνομά σου, 12 ὅτι σὺ εὐλογήσεις δίκαιον κύριε, ὡς ὅπλῳ εὐδοκίας ἐστεφάνωσας ἡμᾶς. | 5.11 And let all who hope in You be glad; they shall exult forever, and You shall dwell among them. And all who love Your name shall boast in You. 5.12 For You, Lord, will bless the righteous; as with a shield of good-will You have crowned us. |
