Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.
1Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁγίων μεμακρυμμένου, τῷ Δαυὶδ εἰς στηλογραφίαν, ὁπότε ἐκράτησαν αὐτὸν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐν Γέθ.
2Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught
2Ἐλεήσον με ὁ Θεὸς, ὅτι κατεπάτησέ με ἄνθρωπος, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν πολεμῶν ἔθλιψέ με.
3at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they release disaster upon me and revile me in their anger.
3Κατεπάτησάν με οἱ ἐχθροί μου ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἀπὸ ὕψους ἡμέρας, ὅτι πολλοὶ οἱ πολεμοῦντές με.
4My heart murmurs within me, and the terrors of death assail me.
4Φοβηθήσονται, ἐγὼ δὲ ἐλπιῶ ἐπὶ σοί.
5Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
5Ἐν τῷ Θεῷ ἐπαινέσω τοὺς λόγους μου, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐν τῷ Θεῷ ἤλπισα, οὐ φοβηθήσομαι τί ποιήσει μοι σάρξ.
6I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.
6Ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν τοὺς λόγους μου ἐβδελύσσοντο, κατʼ ἐμοῦ πάντες οἱ διαλογισμοὶ αὐτῶν εἰς κακόν.
7How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain. Selah
7Παροικήσουσι καὶ κατακρύψουσιν αὐτοὶ, τὴν πτέρναν μου φυλάξουσι· καθάπερ ὑπέμεινα τῇ ψυχῇ μου.
8I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”
8Ὑπὲρ τοῦ μηθενὸς σώσεις αὐτοὺς ἐν ὀργῇ λαοὺς κατάξεις· ὁ Θεὸς
9O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.
9τὴν ζωήν μου ἐξήγγειλά σοι, ἔθου τὰ δάκρυά μου ἐνώπιόν σου, ὡς καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐπαγγελίᾳ σου.
10Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within.
10Ἐπιστρέψουσιν οἱ ἐχθροί μου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπικαλέσωμαί σε· ἰδοὺ ἔγνων ὅτι Θεός μου εἶ σύ.
11Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.
11Ἐπὶ τῷ Θεῷ αἰνέσω ῥῆμα, ἐπὶ τῷ Κυρίῳ αἰνέσω λόγον.
12For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.
12Ἐπὶ τῷ Θεῷ ἤλπισα, οὐ φοβηθήσομαι τί ποιήσει μοι ἄνθρωπος.
13But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.
13Ἐν ἐμοὶ ὁ Θεὸς αἱ εὐχαὶ, ἃς ἀποδώσω αἰνέσεώς σου.
14We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
14Ὅτι ἐῤῥύσω τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ θανάτου, καὶ τοὺς πόδας μου ἐξ ὀλισθήματος, τοῦ εὐαρεστῆσαι ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν φωτὶ ζώντων.
15Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes.
