Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Of understanding for David. A prayer when he was in the cave. [1 Kings 24]
1Συνέσεως τῷ Δαυὶδ, ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ, προσευχή.
2I cried to the Lord with my voice: with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.
2Φωνῇ μου πρὸς Κύριον ἐκέκραξα, φωνῇ μου πρὸς Κύριον ἐδεήθην.
3In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare my trouble:
3Ἐκχεῶ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ τὴν δέησίν μου, τὴν θλίψιν μου ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ἀπαγγελῶ.
4When my spirit failed me, then thou newest my paths.
4Ἐν τῷ ἐκλείπειν ἐξ ἐμοῦ τὸ πνεῦμά μου, καὶ σὺ ἔγνως τὰς τρίβους μου· ἐν ὁδῷ ταύτῃ ᾗ ἐπορευόμην, ἔκρυψαν παγίδα μοι.
5I looked on my right hand, and beheld, and there was no one that would know me. Flight hath failed me: and there is no one that hath regard to my soul.
5Κατενόουν εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ καὶ ἐπέβλεπον, ὅτι οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐπιγινώσκων με· ἀπώλετο φυγὴ ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἐκζητῶν τὴν ψυχήν μου.
6I cried to thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living.
6Πρὸς σὲ, Κύριε, ἐκέραξα, καὶ εἶπα, σὺ εἶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου, μερίς μου ἐν γῇ ζώντων.
7Attend to my supplication: for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
7Πρόσχες πρὸς τὴν δέησίν μου, ὅτι ἐταπεινώθην σφόδρα· ῥῦσαί με ἐκ τῶν καταδιωκόντων με, ὅτι ἐκραταιώθησαν ὑπὲρ ἐμέ.
8Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the just wait for me, until thou reward me.
8Ἐξάγαγε ἐκ φυλακῆς τὴν ψυχήν μου, τοῦ ἐξομολογήσασθαι τῷ ὀνόματί σου, Κύριε· ἐμὲ ὑπομενοῦσι δίκαιοι, ἕως οὗ ἀνταποδῷς μοι.
