Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Unto the end, a psalm for David himself.
1Εἰς τὸ τέλος, τῷ Δαυὶδ ψαλμός.
2With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.
2Ὑπομένων ὑπέμεινα τὸν Κύριον, καὶ προσέσχε μοι, καὶ εἰσήκουσε τῆς δεήσεώς μου.
3And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs. And he set my feet upon a rock, and directed my steps.
3Καὶ ἀνήγαγέ με ἐκ λάκκου ταλαιπωρίας, καὶ ἀπὸ πηλοῦ ἰλύος· καὶ ἔστησεν ἐπὶ πέτραν τοὺς πόδας μου, καὶ κατεύθυνε τὰ διαβήματά μου.
4And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear: and they shall hope in the Lord.
4Καὶ ἐνέβαλεν εἰς τὸ στόμα μου ᾆσμα καινὸν, ὕμνον τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν· ὄψονται πολλοὶ καὶ φοβηθήσονται, καὶ ἐλπιοῦσιν ἐπὶ Κύριον.
5Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.
5Μακάριος ἀνὴρ, οὗ ἐστι τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου ἐλπὶς αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπέβλεψεν εἰς ματαιότητας καὶ μανίας ψευδεῖς.
6Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number.
6Πολλὰ ἐποίησας σὺ Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου τὰ θαυμάσιά σου, καὶ τοῖς διαλογισμοῖς σου οὐκ ἔστι τίς ὁμοιωθήσεταί σοι· ἀπήγγειλα καὶ ἐλάλησα, ἐπληθύνθησαν ὑπὲρ ἀριθμόν.
7Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require:
7Θυσίαν καὶ προσφορὰν οὐκ ἠθέλησας, σῶμα δὲ κατηρτίσω μοι· ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας οὐκ ᾔτησας.
8Then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me
8Τότε εἶπον, ἰδοὺ ἥκω· ἐν κεφαλίδι βιβλίου γέγραπται περὶ ἐμοῦ,
9That I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.
9τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ θέλημά σου ὁ Θεός μου ἠβουλήθην, καὶ τὸν νόμον σου ἐν μέσῳ τῆς καρδίας μου.
10I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.
10Εὐηγγελισάμην δικαιοσύνην ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ μεγάλῃ, ἰδοὺ τὰ χείλη μου οὐ μὴ κωλύσω. Κύριε, σὺ ἔγνως
11I have not hid thy justice within my heart: I have declared thy truth and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from a great council.
11τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου, οὐκ ἔκρυψα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου, καὶ τὸ σωτήριόν σου εἶπα· οὐκ ἔκρυψα τὸ ἔλεός σου καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου ἀπὸ συναγωγῆς πολλῆς.
12Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me: thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.
12Σὺ δέ Κύριε μὴ μακρύνῃς τοὺς οἰκτιρμούς σου ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, τὸ ἔλεός σου καὶ ἡ ἀλήθειά σου διαπαντὸς ἀντελάβοντό μου.
13For evils without number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: and my heart hath forsaken me.
13Ὅτι περιέσχον με κακὰ, ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμὸς, κατέλαβόν με αἱ ἀνομίαι μου, καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνάσθην τοῦ βλέπειν· ἐπληθύνθησαν ὑπὲρ τὰς τρίχας τῆς κεφαλῆς μου, καὶ ἡ καρδία μου ἐγκατέλιπέ με.
14Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me, look down, O Lord, to help me.
14Εὐδόκησον Κύριε τοῦ ῥύσασθαί με, Κύριε εἰς τὸ βοηθῆσαί μοι πρόσχες.
15Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul to take it away. Let them be turned backward and be ashamed that desire evils to me.
15Καταισχυνθείησαν καὶ ἐντραπείησαν ἅμα οἱ ζητοῦντες τὴν ψυχήν μου, τοῦ ἐξάραι αὐτήν· ἀποστραφείησαν εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, καὶ ἐντραπείησαν οἱ θέλοντές μοι κακά.
16Let them immediately bear their confusion, that say to me: Tis well, tis well.
16Κομισάσθωσαν παραχρῆμα αἰσχύνην αὐτῶν, οἱ λέγοντές μοι, εὖγε, εὖγε.
17Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
17Ἀγαλλιάσαιντο καὶ εὐφρανθείησαν ἐπὶ σοὶ πάντες οἱ ζητοῦντές σε Κύριε· καὶ εἰπάτωσαν διαπαντὸς, μεγαλυνθήτω ὁ Κύριος, οἱ ἀγαπῶντες τὸ σωτήριόν σου.
18But I am a beggar and poor: the Lord is careful for me. Thou art my helper and my protector: O my God, be not slack.
18Ἐγὼ δὲ πτωχὸς καὶ πένης εἰμὶ, Κύριος φροντιεῖ μου· βοηθός μου καὶ ὑπερασπιστής μου εἶ σὺ ὁ Θεός μου, μὴ χρονίσῃς.
