Let God be found true (ginesqw o qeov alhqhv). "Let God continue to be true" (present middle imperative).
But every man a liar (pav de anqrwpov yeusthv). The contrast in de really means, "though every man be found a liar." Cf. Psalms 116:12.
As it is written (kaqwv gegraptai). Psalms 51:6.
That thou mightest be justified (opwv an dikaiwqhv). opwv rather than the common ina for purpose and an with the first aorist passive subjunctive of dikaiow. Used of God this verb here has to mean "declared righteous," not "made righteous."
Mightest prevail (nikhseiv). Future active indicative with opwv of nikaw, to win a victory, though B L have nikhshv (first aorist active subjunctive, the usual construction).
When thou comest into judgement (en tw krinesqai se). "In the being judged as to thee" (present passive infinitive or, if taken as middle, "in the entering upon trial as to thee"). Common construction in the LXX from the Hebrew infinitive construct.
