Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
1Εἰς τὸ τέλος, τῷ Δαυὶδ ψαλμός.
2You know when I sit and when I rise; You understand my thoughts from afar.
2Ἐξελοῦ με Κύριε ἐξ ἀνθρώπου πονηροῦ, ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς ἀδίκου ῥῦσαί με·
3You search out my path and my lying down; You are aware of all my ways.
3οἵτινες ἐλογίσαντο ἀδικίας ἐν καρδίᾳ, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν παρετάσσοντο πολέμους.
4Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, O LORD.
4Ἠκόνησαν γλῶσσαν αὐτῶν ὡσεὶ ὄφεως, ἰὸς ἀσπίδων ὑπὸ τὰ χείλη αὐτῶν· διάψαλμα.
5You hem me in behind and before; You have laid Your hand upon me.
5Φύλαξόν με Κύριε ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ, ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπων ἀδίκων ἐξελοῦ με· οἵτινες ἐλογίσαντο τοῦ ὑποσκελίσαι τὰ διαβήματά μου.
6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
6Ἔκρυψαν ὑπερήφανοι παγίδα μοι· καὶ σχοινία διέτειναν παγίδας τοῖς ποσί μου, ἐχόμενα τρίβου σκάνδαλον ἔθεντό μοι· διάψαλμα.
7Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?
7Εἶπα τῷ Κυρίῳ, Θεός μου εἶ σὺ· ἐνώτισαι, Κύριε, τὴν φωνὴν τῆς δεήσεώς μου.
8If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.
8Κύριε Κύριε, δύναμις τῆς σωτηρίας μου, ἐπεσκίασας ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν μου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πολέμου.
9If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle by the farthest sea,
9Μὴ παραδῷς με, Κύριε, ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιθυμίας μου ἁμαρτωλῷ· διελογίσαντο κατʼ ἐμοῦ, μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς με, μή ποτε ὑψωθῶσι· διάψαλμα.
10even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast.
10Ἡ κεφαλὴ τοῦ κυκλώματος αὐτῶν, κόπος τῶν χειλέων αὐτῶν καλύψει αὐτούς.
11If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light become night around me”—
11Πεσοῦνται ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ἄνθρακες πυρὸς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ καταβαλεῖς αὐτοὺς ἐν ταλαιπωρίαις, οὐ μὴ ὑποστῶσιν.
12even the darkness is not dark to You, but the night shines like the day, for darkness is as light to You.
12Ἀνὴρ γλωσσώδης οὐ κατευθυνθήσεται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· ἄνδρα ἄδικον κακὰ θηρεύσει εἰς καταφθοράν.
13For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
13Ἔγνων ὅτι ποιήσει Κύριος τὴν κρίσιν τοῦ πτωχοῦ, καὶ τὴν δίκην τῶν πενήτων.
14I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.
14Πλὴν δίκαιοι ἐξομολογήσονται τῷ ὀνόματί σου, κατοικήσουσιν εὐθεῖς σὺν τῷ προσώπῳ σου.
15My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
