Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
1Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ. ΕΠΙ τῷ Κυρίῳ πέποιθα· πῶς ἐρεῖτε τῇ ψυχῇ μου· μεταναστεύου ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη ὡς στρουθίον;
2In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
2ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐνέτειναν τόξον, ἡτοίμασαν βέλη εἰς φαρέτραν τοῦ κατατοξεῦσαι ἐν σκοτομήνῃ τοὺς εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ.
3For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
3ὅτι ἃ σὺ κατηρτίσω, αὐτοὶ καθεῖλον· ὁ δὲ δίκαιος τί ἐποίησε;
4In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.
4Κύριος ἐν ναῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ· Κύριος ἐν οὐρανῷ ὁ θρόνος αὐτοῦ. οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν πένητα ἀποβλέπουσι, τὰ βλέφαρα αὐτοῦ ἐξετάζει τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων.
5He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
5Κύριος ἐξετάζει τὸν δίκαιον καὶ τὸν ἀσεβῆ, ὁ δὲ ἀγαπῶν τὴν ἀδικίαν μισεῖ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχήν.
6He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
6ἐπιβρέξει ἐπὶ ἁμαρτωλοὺς παγίδας, πῦρ καὶ θεῖον καὶ πνεῦμα καταιγίδος ἡ μερὶς τοῦ ποτηρίου αὐτῶν.
7His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
7ὅτι δίκαιος Κύριος, καὶ δικαιοσύνας ἠγάπησεν, εὐθύτητας εἶδε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ.
8He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
