Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Aleph. I am the man that see my poverty by the rod of his indignation.
1ΕΓΩ ἀνὴρ ὁ βλέπων πτωχείαν ἐν ράβδῳ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐπ' ἐμέ·
2Aleph. He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, and not into light.
2παρέλαβέ με καὶ ἀπήγαγέ με εἰς σκότος καὶ οὐ φῶς,
3Aleph. Only against me he hath turned, and turned again his hand all the day.
3πλὴν ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐπέστρεψε χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν.
4Beth. My skin and my flesh he hath made old, he hath broken my bones.
4Ἐπαλαίωσε σάρκα μου καὶ δέρμα μου, ὀστέα μου συνέτριψεν·
5Beth. He hath built round about me, and he hath compassed me with gall and labour.
5ἀῳκοδόμησε κατ' ἐμοῦ καὶ ἐκύκλωσε κεφαλήν μου καὶ ἐμόχθησεν,
6Beth. He hath set me in dark places as those that are dead for ever.
6ἐν σκοτεινοῖς ἐκάθισέ με ὡς νεκροὺς αἰῶνος.
7Ghimel. He hath built against me round about, that I may not get out: he hath made my fetters heavy.
7Ἀνῳκοδόμησε κατ' ἐμοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεύσομαι, ἐβάρυνε χαλκόν μου·
8Ghimel. Yea, and when I cry, and entreat, he hath shut out my prayer.
8καί γε κεκράξομαι καὶ βοήσω, ἀπέφραξε προσευχήν μου·
9Ghimel. He hath shut up my ways with square stones, he hath turned my paths upside down.
9ἀνῳκοδόμησεν ὁδούς μου, ἐνέφραξε τρίβους μου, ἐτάραξεν.
10Daleth. He is become to me as a bear lying in wait: as a lion in secret places.
10Ἄρκος ἐνεδρεύουσα αὐτός μοι, λέων ἐν κρυφαίοις·
11Daleth. He hath turned aside my paths, and hath broken me in pieces, he hath made me desolate.
11κατεδίωξεν ἀφεστηκότα καὶ κατέπαυσέ με, ἔθετό με ἠφανισμένην.
12Daleth. He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for his arrows.
12ἐνέτεινε τόξον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐστήλωσέ με ὡς σκοπὸν εἰς βέλος.
13He. He hath shot into my reins the daughters of his quiver.
13Εἰσήγαγεν ἐν τοῖς νεφροῖς μου ἰοὺς φαρέτρας αὐτοῦ·
14He. I am made a derision to all my people, their song all the day long.
14ἐγενήθην γέλως παντὶ λαῷ μου, ψαλμὸς αὐτῶν ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν·
15He. He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath inebriated me with wormwood.
15ἐχόρτασέ με πικρίας, ἐμέθυσέ με χολῆς.
16Vau. And he hath broken my teeth one by one, he hath fed me with ashes.
16Καὶ ἐξέβαλε ψήφῳ ὀδόντας μου, ἐψώμισέ με σποδόν·
17Vau. And my soul is removed far off from peace, I have forgotten good things.
17καὶ ἀπώσατο ἐξ εἰρήνης ψυχήν μου,
18Vau. And I said: My end and my hope is perished from the Lord.
18ἐπελαθόμην ἀγαθά, καὶ εἶπα· ἀπώλετο νῖκός μου καὶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου ἀπὸ Κυρίου.
19Zain. Remember my poverty, and transgression, the wormwood, and the gall.
19Ἐμνήσθην ἀπὸ πτωχείας μου καὶ ἐκδιωγμοῦ μου πικρίας καὶ χολῆς μου.
20Zain. I will be mindful and remember, and my soul shall languish within me.
20μνησθήσεται καὶ καταδολεσχήσει ἐπ' ἐμὲ ἡ ψυχή μου·
21Zain. These things I shall think over in my heart, therefore will I hope.
21ταύτην τάξω εἰς τὴν καρδίαν μου, διὰ τοῦτο ὑπομενῶ.
22Heth. The mercies of the Lord that we are not consumed: because his commiserations have not failed.
22Τὰ ἐλέη Κυρίου, ὅτι οὐκ ἐξέλιπέμε, ὅτι οὐσυνετελέσθησαν οἱ οἰκτιρμοὶ αὐτοῦ· μῆνας εἰς τὰς πρωΐας ἐλέησον, Κύριε, ὅτι οὐ συνετελέσθημεν, ὅτι οὐ συνετελέσθησαν οἱ οἰκτιρμοὶ αὐτοῦ.
23Heth. They are new every morning, great is thy faithfulness.
23καινὰ εἰς τὰς πρωΐας, πολλὴ ἡ πίστις σου.
24Heth. The Lord is my portion, said my soul: therefore will I wait for him.
24μερίς μου Κύριος, εἶπεν ἡ ψυχή μου· διὰ τοῦτο ὑπομενῶ αὐτῷ.
25Teth. The Lord is good to them that hope in him, to the soul that seeketh him.
25Ἀγαθὸς Κύριος τοῖς ὑπομένουσιν αὐτόν, ψυχὴ ἣ ζητήσει αὐτὸν ἀγαθὸν
26Teth. It is good to wait with silence for the salvation of God.
26καὶ ὑπομεννεῖ καὶ ἡσυχάσει εἰς τὸ σωτήριον Κυρίου.
27Teth. It is good for a man, when he hath borne the yoke from his youth.
27ἀγαθὸν ἀνδρί, ὅταν ἄρῃ ζυγὸν ἐν νεότητι αὐτοῦ.
28Jod. He shall sit solitary, and hold his peace: because he hath taken it up upon himself.
28Καθήσεται κατὰ μόνας καὶ σιωπήσεται, ὅτι ᾖρεν ἐφ' ἑαυτῷ·
29Jod. He shall put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.
no verse 29 in this text
30Jod. He shall give his cheek to him that striketh him, he shall be filled with reproaches.
30δώσει τῷ παίοντι αὐτὸν σιαγόνα, χορτασθήσεται ὀνειδισμῶν.
31Caph. For the Lord will not cast off for ever.
31¨Οτι οὐκ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀπώσεται Κύριος.
32Caph. For if he hath cast off, he will also have mercy, according to the multitude of his mercies.
32ὅτι ὁ ταπεινώσας οἰκτειρήσει κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ ἐλέους αὐτοῦ·
33Caph. For he hath not willingly afflicted, nor cast off the children of men.
33ὅτι οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη ἀπὸ καρδίας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐταπείνωσεν υἱοὺς ἀνδρός.
34Lamed. To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the land,
34Τοῦ ταπεινῶσαι ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ πάντας δεσμίους γῆς,
35Lamed. To turn aside the judgment of a man before the face of the most High,
35τοῦ ἐκκλῖναι κρίσιν ἀνδρὸς κατέναντι προσώπου Ὑψίστου,
36Lamed. To destroy a man wrongfully in his judgment, the Lord hath not approved.
36καταδικάσαι ἄνθρωπον ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαι αὐτὸν Κύριος οὐκ εἶπε.
37Mem. Who is he that hath commanded a thing to be done, when the Lord commandeth it not?
37Τίς οὕτως εἶπε, καὶ ἐγενήθη; Κύριος οὐκ ἐνετείλατο.
38Mem. Shall not both evil and good proceed out of the mouth of the Highest?
38ἐκ στόματος Ὑψίστου οὐκ ἐξελεύσεται τὰ κακὰ καὶ τὸ ἀγαθόν;
39Mem. Why hath a living man murmured, man suffering for his sins?
39τί γογγύσει ἄνθρωπος ζῶν, ἀνὴρ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ;
40Nun. Let us search our ways, and seek, and return to the Lord.
40Ἐξηρευνήθη ἡ ὁδὸς ἡμῶν καὶ ἠτάσθη, κὶ ἐπιστρέψομεν ἕως Κυρίου·
41Nun. Let us lift up our hearts with our hands to the Lord in the heavens.
41ἀναλάβωμεν καρδίας ἡμῶν ἐπὶ χειρῶν πρὸς ὑψηλὸν ἐν οὐρανῷ·
42Nun. We have done wickedly, and provoked thee to wrath: therefore thou art inexorable.
42ἡμαρτήσαμεν, ἠσεβήσαμεν, καὶ οὐχ ἱλάσθης.
43Samech. Thou hast covered in thy wrath, and hast struck us: thou hast killed and hast not spared.
43Ἐπεσκέπασας ἐν θυμῷ καὶ ἀπεδίωξας ἡμᾶς· ἀπέκτεινας, οὐκ ἐφείσω.
44Samech. Thou hast set a cloud before thee, that our prayer may not pass through.
44Ἐπεσκέπασας νεφέλην σεαυτῷ ἕνεκεν προσευχῆς,
45Samech. Thou hast made me as an outcast, and refuse in the midst of the people.
45καμμύσαι με καὶ ἀπωσθῆναι ἔθηκας ἡμᾶς ἐν μέσῳ τῶν λαῶν.
46Phe. All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
46Διήνοιξαν ἐφ' ἡμᾶς τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν πάντες οἱ ἐχθροὶ ἡμῶν·
47Phe. Prophecy is become to us a fear, and a snare, and destruction.
47φόβος καὶ θυμὸς ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν, ἔπαρσις καὶ συντριβή.
48Phe. My eye hath run down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
48ἀφέσεις ὑδάτων κατάξει ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπὶ τὸ σύντριμμα τῆς θυγατρὸς τοῦ λαοῦ μου.
49Ain. My eye is afflicted, and hath not been quiet, because there was no rest:
49Ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου κατεπόθη, καὶ οὐ σιγήσομαι τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἔκνηψιν,
50Ain. Till the Lord regarded and looked down from the heavens.
50ἕως οὗ διακύψῃ καὶ ἴδῃ Κύριος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ·
51Ain. My eye hath wasted my soul because of all the daughters of my city.
51ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπιφυλλιεῖ ἐπὶ τὴν ψυχήν μου παρὰ πάσας θυγατέρας πόλεως.
52Sade. My enemies have chased me and caught me like a bird, without cause.
52Θηρεύοντες ἐθήρευσάν με ὡς στρουθίον πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί μου δωρεάν,
53Sade. My life is fallen into the pit, and they have laid a stone over me.
53ἐθανάτωσαν ἐν λάκκῳ ζωήν μου καὶ ἐπέθηκαν λίθον ἐπ' ἐμοί.
54Sade. Waters have flowed over my head: I said: I am cut off.
54ὑπερεχύθη ὕδωρ ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν μου· εἶπα· ἀπῶσμαι.
55Coph. I have called upon thy name, O Lord, from the lowest pit.
55Ἐπεκαλεσάμην τὸ ὄνομά σου, Κύριε, ἐκ λάκκου κατωτάτου·
56Coph. Thou hast heard my voice: turn not away thy ear from my sighs, and cries.
56φωνήν μου ἤκουσας· μὴ κρύψῃς τὰ ὦτά σου εἰς τὴν δέησίν μου.
57Coph. Thou drewest near in the day, when I called upon thee, thou saidst: Fear not.
57εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν μου ἤγγισας ἐν ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ἐπεκαλεσάμην σε· εἶπάς μοι· μὴ φοβοῦ.
58Res. Thou hast judged, O Lord, the cause of my soul, thou the Redeemer of my life.
58Ἐδίκασας, Κύριε, τὰς δίκας τῆς ψυχῆς μου, ἐλυτρώσω τὴν ζωήν μου·
59Res. Thou hast seen, O Lord, their iniquity against me: judge thou my judgment.
59εἶδες, Κύριε, τὰς ταραχάς μου, ἔκρινας τὴν κρίσιν μου·
60Res. Thou hast seen all their fury, and all their thoughts against me.
60εἶδες πᾶσαν τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν εἰς πάντας διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν ἐμοί.
61Sin. Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, all their imaginations against me.
61Ἤκουσας τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτῶν, πάντας τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν κατ' ἐμοῦ,
62Sin. The lips of them that rise up against me: and their devices against me all the day.
62χείλη ἐπανισταμένων μοι καὶ μελέτας αὐτῶν κατ' ἐμοῦ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν,
63Sin. Behold their sitting down, and their rising up, I am their song.
63καθέδραν αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνάστασιν αὐτῶν· ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν.
64Thau. Thou shalt render them a recompense, O Lord, according to the works of their hands.
64Ἀποδώσεις αὐτοῖς ἀνταπόδομα, Κύριε, κατὰ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν.
65Thau. Thou shalt give them a buckler of heart, thy labour.
65ἀποδώσεις αὐτοῖς ὑπερασπισμὸν καρδίας, μόχθον σου αὐτοῖας,
66Thau. Thou shalt persecute them in anger, and shalt destroy them from under the heavens, O Lord.
66καταδιώξεις ἐν ὀργῇ καὶ ἐξαναλώσεις αὐτοὺς ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, Κύριε.
