Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Lord, You have been our dwelling place through all generations.
1Αἶνος ᾠδῆς τῷ Δαυίδ. Ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν βοηθείᾳ τοῦ ὑψίστου, ἐν σκέπῃ τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ αὐλισθήσεται.
2Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God.
2Ἐρεῖ τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἀντιλήπτωρ μου εἶ καὶ καταφυγή μου, ὁ Θεός μου, ἐλπιῶ ἐπʼ αὐτόν.
3You return man to dust, saying, “Return, O sons of mortals.”
3Ὅτι αὐτὸς ῥύσεταί σε ἐκ παγίδος θηρευτῶν, ἀπὸ λόγου ταραχώδους.
4For in Your sight a thousand years are but a day that passes, or a watch of the night.
4Ἐν τοῖς μεταφρένοις αὐτοῦ ἐπισκιάσει σοι, καὶ ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτοῦ ἐλπιεῖς· ὅπλῳ κυκλώσει σε ἡ ἀλήθεια αὐτοῦ.
5You whisk them away in their sleep; they are like the new grass of the morning—
5Οὐ φοβηθήσῃ ἀπὸ φόβου νυκτερινοῦ, ἀπὸ βέλους πετομένου ἡμέρας,
6in the morning it springs up new, but by evening it fades and withers.
6ἀπὸ πράγματος διαπορευομένου ἐν σκότει, ἀπὸ συμπτώματος καὶ δαιμονίου μεσημβρινοῦ.
7For we are consumed by Your anger and terrified by Your wrath.
7Πεσεῖται ἐκ τοῦ κλίτους σου χιλιὰς, καὶ μυριὰς ἐκ δεξιῶν σου, πρὸς σὲ δὲ οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ.
8You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.
8Πλὴν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου κατανοήσεις, καὶ ἀνταπόδοσιν ἁμαρτωλῶν ὄψει.
9For all our days decline in Your fury; we finish our years with a sigh.
9Ὅτι σὺ Κύριε ἡ ἐλπίς μου, τὸν ὕψιστον ἔθου καταφυγήν σου.
10The length of our days is seventy years— or eighty if we are strong— yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
10Οὐ προσελεύσεται πρὸς σὲ κακὰ, καὶ μάστιξ οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ τῷ σκηνώματί σου.
11Who knows the power of Your anger? Your wrath matches the fear You are due.
11Ὅτι τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ ἐντελεῖται περὶ σοῦ, τοῦ διαφυλάξαι σε ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς σου.
12So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom.
12Ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἀροῦσί σε, μή ποτε προσκόψῃς πρὸς λίθον τὸν πόδα σου.
13Return, O LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on Your servants.
13Ἐπʼ ἀσπίδα καὶ βασιλίσκον ἐπιβήσῃ, καὶ καταπατήσεις λέοντα καὶ δράκοντα.
14Satisfy us in the morning with Your loving devotion, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
14Ὅτι ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἤλπισε, καὶ ῥύσομαι αὐτόν· σκεπάσω αὐτὸν, ὅτι ἔγνω τὸ ὄνομά μου.
15Make us glad for as many days as You have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
15Ἐπικαλέσεται πρὸς μὲ, καὶ εἰσακούσομαι αὐτοῦ, μετʼ αὐτοῦ εἰμι ἐν θλίψει, καὶ ἐξελοῦμαι αὐτὸν, καὶ δοξάσω αὐτόν.
16May Your work be shown to Your servants, and Your splendor to their children.
16Μακρότητι ἡμερῶν ἐμπλήσω αὐτὸν, καὶ δείξω αὐτῷ τὸ σωτήριόν μου.
17May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish for us the work of our hands— yes, establish the work of our hands!
