Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath.
1Φαλμὸς τῷ Δαυὶδ εἰς ἀνάμνησιν περὶ σαββάτου.
2Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath.
2Κύριε, μὴ τῷ θυμῷ σου ἐλέγξῃς με, μηδὲ τῇ ὀργῇ σου παιδεύσῃς με.
3For thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong upon me.
3Ὅτι τὰ βέλη σου ἐνεπάγησάν μοι, καὶ ἐπεστήριξας ἐπʼ ἐμὲ τὴν χεῖρά σου.
4There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.
4Οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς ὀργῆς σου, οὐκ ἔστιν εἰρήνη τοῖς ὀστέοις μου ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου.
5For my iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.
5Ὅτι αἱ ἀνομίαι μου ὑπερῇραν τὴν κεφαλήν μου, ὡσεὶ φορτίον βαρὺ ἐβαρύνθησαν ἐπʼ ἐμέ.
6My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness.
6Προσώζεσαν καὶ ἐσάπησαν οἱ μώλωπές μου, ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς ἀφροσύνης μου.
7I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long.
7Ἐταλαιπώρησα καὶ κατεκάμφθην ἕως τέλους, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν σκυθρωπάζων ἐπορευόμην.
8For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh.
8Ὅτι ἡ ψυχή μου ἐπλησθη ἐμπαιγμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου.
9I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart.
9Ἐκακώθην καὶ ἐταπεινώθην ἕως σφόδρα, ὠρυόμην ἀπὸ στεναγμοῦ τῆς καρδίας μου.
10Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hidden from thee.
10Καὶ ἐναντίον σου πᾶσα ἡ ἐπιθυμία μου, καὶ ὁ στεναγμός μου οὐκ ἀπεκρύβη ἀπὸ σοῦ.
11My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with me.
11Ἡ καρδία μου ἐταράχθη, ἐγκατέλιπέ με ἡ ἰσχύς μου, καὶ τὸ φῶς τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου οὐκ ἔστι μετʼ ἐμοῦ.
12My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off:
12Οἱ φίλοι μου καὶ οἱ πλησίον μου ἐξ ἐναντίας μου ἤγγισαν καὶ ἔστησαν, καὶ οἱ ἔγγιστά μου μακρόθεν ἔστησαν,
13And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long.
13καὶ ἐξεβιάζοντο οἱ ζητοῦντες τὴν ψυχήν μου· καὶ οἱ ζητοῦντες τὰ κακά μοι ἐλάλησαν ματαιότητας, καὶ δολιότητας ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐμελέτησαν.
14But I, as a deaf man, heard not: and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
14Ἐγὼ δὲ ὡσεὶ κωφὸς οὐκ ἤκουον, καὶ ὡσεὶ ἄλαλος οὐκ ἀνοίγων τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ·
15And I became as a man that heareth not: and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.
15Καὶ ἐγενόμην ὡσεὶ ἄνθρωπος οὐκ ἀκούων, καὶ οὐκ ἔχων ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ ἐλεγμούς.
16For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.
16Ὅτι ἐπὶ σοὶ Κύριε ἤλπισα, σὺ εἰσακούσῃ Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου.
17For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.
17Ὅτι εἶπα, μή ποτε ἐπιχαρῶσί μοι οἱ ἐχθροί μου, καὶ ἐν τῷ σαλευθῆναι πόδας μου, ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἐμεγαλοῤῥημόνησαν.
18For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me.
18Ὅτι ἐγὼ εἰς μάστιγας ἕτοιμος, καὶ ἡ ἀλγηδών μου ἐνώπιόν μου διαπαντός.
19For I will declare my inequity: and I will think for my sin.
19Ὅτι τὴν ἀνομίαν μου ἀναγγελῶ, καὶ μεριμνήσω ὑπὲρ τῆς ἁμαρτίας μου.
20But my enemies live, and are stronger that I: and they hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20Οἱ δὲ ἐχθροί μου ζῶσι, καὶ κεκραταίωνται ὑπὲρ ἐμὲ, καὶ ἐπληθύνθησαν οἱ μισοῦντές με ἀδίκως.
21They that render evil for good, have detracted me, because I followed goodness.
21Οἱ ἀνταποδιδόντες κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν, ἐνδιέβαλλόν με, ἐπεὶ κατεδίωκον δικαιοσύνην.
22Forsake me not, O Lord my God: do not thou depart from me.
22Μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς με Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου, μὴ ἀποστῇς ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ.
23Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation.
23Πρόσχες εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν μου Κύριε τῆς σωτηρίας μου.
