Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
1Ψαλμὸς τῷ Ἀσάφ. Ο ΘΕΟΣ ἔστη ἐν συναγωγῇ θεῶν, ἐν μέσῳ δὲ θεοὺς διακρινεῖ.
2Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.
2ἕως πότε κρίνετε ἀδικίαν καὶ πρόσωπα ἁμαρτωλῶν λαμβάνετε; (διάψαλμα).
3Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and at the full moon on the day of our Feast.
3κρίνατε ὀρφανῷ καὶ πτωχῷ, ταπεινὸν καὶ πένητα δικαιώσατε·
4For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
4ἐξέλεσθε πένητα καὶ πτωχόν, ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ ρύσασθε αὐτόν.
5He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:
5οὐκ ἔγνωσαν οὐδὲ συνῆκαν, ἐν σκότει διαπορεύονται· σαλευθήσονται πάντα τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς.
6“I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
6ἐγὼ εἶπα· θεοί ἐστε καὶ υἱοὶ Ὑψίστου πάντες·
7You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
7ὑμεῖς δὲ ὡς ἄνθρωποι ἀποθνήσκετε καὶ ὡς εἷς τῶν ἀρχόντων πίπτετε.
8Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!
8ἀνάστα, ὁ Θεός, κρίνων τὴν γῆν, ὅτι σὺ κατακληρονομήσεις ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσι.
9There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.
