Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.
1ᾨδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. ΠΛΕΟΝΑΚΙΣ ἐπολέμησάν με ἐκ νεότητός μου, εἰπάτω δὴ Ἰσραήλ·
2Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.
2πλεονάκις ἐπολέμησάν με ἐκ νεότητός μου, καὶ γὰρ οὐκ ἠδυνήθησάν μοι.
3The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.
3ἐπὶ τὸν νῶτόν μου ἐτέκταινον οἱ ἁμαρτωλοί, ἐμάκρυναν τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτῶν.
4The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:
4Κύριος δίκαιος συνέκοψεν αὐχένας ἁμαρτωλῶν.
5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.
5αἰσχυνθήτωσαν καὶ ἀποστραφήτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω πάντες οἱ μισοῦντες Σιών.
6Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:
6γενηθήτωσαν ὡσεὶ χόρτος δωμάτων, ὃς πρὸ τοῦ ἐκσπασθῆναι ἐξηράνθη·
7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.
7οὗ οὐκ ἐπλήρωσε τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ὁ θερίζων καὶ τὸν κόλπον αὐτοῦ ὁ τὰ δράγματα συλλέγων,
8And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
8καὶ οὐκ εἶπαν οἱ παράγοντες· εὐλογία Κυρίου ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς, εὐλογήκαμεν ὑμᾶς ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου.
