Λύρης θειοκρότου μελιηδέος εὔλαλος ἠχὼ | |
Ἱμερόεν κελαδοῦσα βροτοκτόνα πήματα λύει, | |
Βριαρὰ δαιμονίων ψυχοφθόρα φῦλα διώκει. | |
Ἄχθει μοχθίζοντας ὀλεθροτόκων μελεδώνων, | |
Νοῦν τε βυθιζομένους πολυπλανέος ἄλγεσι κόσμου | |
Ἰᾶται βίβλος ἧδε, θεόπνοον ᾆσμα προφήτου. | |
Οὐρανίων ἀρετῶν διδάσκαλος ἔπλετο Δαυὶδ | |
Σωφρονέοντι νόῳ θεοτερπέα ὕμνον ἀείσας. |
