τὸ τέλος μὴ διαφθείρῃς τῷ Δαυιδ εἰς στηλογραφίαν ἐν τῷ αὐτὸν ἀποδιδράσκειν ἀπὸ προσώπου Σαουλ εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον
For the end; do not destroy. Of David, for a writing on a pillar, when he fled from the face of Saul into the cave.

με ὁ θεός ἐλέησόν με ὅτι ἐπὶ σοὶ πέποιθεν ἡ ψυχή μου καὶ ἐν τῇ σκιᾷ τῶν πτερύγων σου ἐλπιῶ ἕως οὗ παρέλθῃ ἡ ἀνομία
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for my soul has trusted in you, and in the shadow of your wings I will hope until lawlessness passes by
I will cry out to God Most High, to God who has done good to me
ἐξ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἔσωσέν με ἔδωκεν εἰς ὄνειδος τοὺς καταπατοῦντάς με διάψαλμα ἐξαπέστειλεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειαν αὐτοῦ
He sent from heaven and saved me; he gave those who trample me to reproach. Selah. God sent forth his mercy and his truth.
ἐρρύσατο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ μέσου σκύμνων ἐκοιμήθην τεταραγμένος υἱοὶ ἀνθρώπων οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτῶν ὅπλον καὶ βέλη καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτῶν μάχαιρα ὀξεῖα
and he rescued my soul from the midst of lions; I lay down troubled. Sons of men, their teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue is a sharp sword.
Be exalted above the heavens, O God, and above all the earth, your glory.
ἡτοίμασαν τοῖς ποσίν μου καὶ κατέκαμψαν τὴν ψυχήν μου ὤρυξαν πρὸ προσώπου μου βόθρον καὶ ἐνέπεσαν εἰς αὐτόν διάψαλμα
They prepared a snare for my feet, and they bowed down my soul; they dug a pit before my face, and they fell into it. Selah
My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready; I will sing and I will make music.
Awake, my glory; awake, harp and lyre; I will awake at dawn.
I will give thanks to you among the peoples, O Lord; I will sing to you among the nations.
For your mercy has been magnified as far as the heavens, and your truth as far as the clouds.
Be exalted above the heavens, O God, and above all the earth, your glory.
