1 «Σιγαϊών του Δαβίδ, το οποίον έψαλλεν εις τον Κύριον, διά τους λόγους Χούς του Βενιαμίτου.» Κύριε ο Θεός μου, επί σε ελπίζω· σώσον με εκ πάντων των διωκόντων με και ελευθέρωσόν με· 2 μήποτε ο εχθρός αρπάση ως λέων την ψυχήν μου και διασπαράξη, χωρίς να υπάρξη ελευθερωτής. 3 Κύριε ο Θεός μου, εάν εγώ έπραξα τούτο, εάν εις τας χείρας μου ήναι ανομία· 4 εάν ανταπέδωκα κακόν εις τον ειρηνεύοντα μετ' εμού, ή κατέθλιψα τον αναιτίως διώκοντά με· 5 ας καταδιώξη ο εχθρός την ψυχήν μου και ας φθάση αυτήν· και ας καταπατήση εις γην την ζωήν μου, και ας καταβάλη την δόξαν μου εις το χώμα. Διάψαλμα. 6 Ανάστηθι, Κύριε, εν τη οργή σου· υψώθητι ένεκα της λύσσης των εχθρών μου· και εγέρθητι δι' εμέ εις την κρίσιν την οποίαν προσέταξας. 7 Και η σύναξις των λαών θέλει σε κυκλώσει· και συ επίστρεψον, να καθήσης υπεράνωθεν αυτής εις ύψος. 8 Ο Κύριος θέλει κρίνει τους λαούς. Κρίνόν με, Κύριε, κατά την δικαιοσύνην μου, και κατά την ακεραιότητά μου, την εν εμοί. 9 Ας τελειώση πλέον η κακία των ασεβών· και στερέωσον τον δίκαιον, συ ο Θεός ο δίκαιος, ο εξετάζων καρδίας και νεφρούς. 10 Η ασπίς μου είναι εν τω Θεώ, όστις σώζει τους ευθείς την καρδίαν. 11 Ο Θεός είναι κριτής δίκαιος και Θεός οργιζόμενος καθ' εκάστην ημέραν. 12 Εάν ο ασεβής δεν επιστραφή, θέλει ακονίσει την ρομφαίαν αυτού· ενέτεινε το τόξον αυτού και ητοίμασεν αυτό· 13 και δι' αυτόν ητοίμασεν όργανα θανάτου· προσήρμοσε τα βέλη αυτού εναντίον των διωκτών. 14 Ιδού, ο ασεβής κοιλοπονεί ανομίαν· συνέλαβε δε πονηρίαν και εγέννησε ψεύδος· 15 Έκσαψε λάκκον και εβάθυνεν αυτόν· πλην αυτός θέλει πέσει εις τον βόθρον, τον οποίον έκαμεν. 16 Η πονηρία αυτού θέλει επιστρέψει κατά της κεφαλής αυτού, και η καταδυναστεία αυτού θέλει καταβή επί την κορυφήν αυτού. 17 Εγώ θέλω επαινεί τον Κύριον κατά την δικαιοσύνην αυτού, και θέλω ψαλμωδεί εις το όνομα Κυρίου του Υψίστου.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Now the story which gave occasion to this prophecy may be easily recognised in the second book of Kings. For there Chusi, the friend of king David, went over to the side of Abessalon, his son, who was carrying on war against his father, for the purpose of discovering and reporting the designs which he was taking against his father, …

… for a faithful man it is hard to find: not that thou shouldest shew thy conscience to me, for thou art not to be judged of man's judgment; but that thou shew the sincerity of thy faith to God, who trieth the reins and hearts, and knoweth the thoughts of men.
