Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth— let Israel now declare—
1Ὠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. Ἐκ βαθέων ἐκέκραξά σοι Κύριε.
2many a time they have persecuted me from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me.
2Κύριε εἰσάκουσον τῆς φωνῆς μου· γενηθήτω τὰ ὦτά σου προσέχοντα εἰς τὴν φωνὴν τῆς δεήσεώς μου.
3The plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.
3Ἐὰν ἀνομίας παρατηρήσῃς Κύριε, Κύριε, τίς ὑποστήσεται;
4The LORD is righteous; He has cut me from the cords of the wicked.
4Ὅτι παρὰ σοὶ ὁ ἱλασμός ἐστιν· ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου
5May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.
5ὑπέμεινά σε Κύριε, ὑπέμεινεν ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὸν λόγον σου,
6May they be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can grow,
6ἤλπισεν ἡ ψυχή μου ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον· ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας μέχρι νυκτός,
7unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves.
7Ἐλπισάτω Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον· ὅτι παρὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ τὸ ἔλεος, καὶ πολλὴ παρ αὐτῷ λύτρωσις.
8May none who pass by say to them, “The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.”
8Καὶ αὐτὸς λυτρώσεται τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτοῦ.
