Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1A psalm for Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken: and he hath called the earth. From the rising of the sun, to the going down thereof:
1Ψαλμὸς τῷ Ἀσάφ. Θεὸς θεῶν Κύριος ἐλάλησε, καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὴν γῆν ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἡλίου μέχρι δυσμῶν.
2Out of Sion the loveliness of his beauty.
2Ἐκ Σιὼν ἡ εὐπρέπεια τῆς ὡραιότητος αὐτοῦ.
3God shall come manifestly: our God shall come, and shall not keep silence. A fire shall burn before him: and a mighty tempest shall be round about him.
3Ὁ Θεὸς ἐμφανῶς ἥξει, ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, καὶ οὐ παρασιωπήσεται· πῦρ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ καυθήσεται, καὶ κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ καταιγὶς σφοδρά.
4He shall call heaven from above, and the earth, to judge his people.
4Προσκαλέσεται τὸν οὐρανὸν ἄνω, καὶ τὴν γῆν διακρῖναι τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.
5Gather ye together his saints to him: who set his covenant before sacrifices.
5Συναγάγετε αὐτῷ τοὺς ὁσίους αὐτοῦ, τοὺς διατιθεμένους τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ θυσίαις.
6And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge.
6Καὶ ἀναγγελοῦσιν οἱ οὐρανοὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ, ὅτι Θεὸς κριτής ἐστι· διάψαλμα.
7Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.
7Ἄκουσον λαός μου καὶ λαλήσω σοι, Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ διαμαρτύρομαί σοι· ὁ Θεὸς ὁ Θεός σου εἰμὶ ἐγώ.
8I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight.
8Οὐκ ἐπὶ ταῖς θυσίαις σου ἐλέγξω σε, τὰ δὲ ὁλοκαυτώματά σου ἐνώπιόν μου ἐστὶ διαπαντός.
9I will not take calves out of thy house: nor he goats out of thy flocks.
9Οὐ δέξομαι ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου σου μόσχους, οὐδὲ ἐκ τῶν ποιμνίων σου χιυάρους·
10For all the beasts of the woods are mine: the cattle on the hills, and the oxen.
10Ὅτι ἐμά ἐστι πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ δρυμοῦ, κτήνη ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσι, καὶ βόες.
11I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field.
11Ἔγνωκα πάντα τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ὡραιότης ἀγροῦ μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἐστιν.
12If I should be hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
12Ἐὰν πεινάσω, οὐ μή σοι εἴπω, ἐμὴ γάρ ἐστιν ἡ οἰκουμένη καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς.
13Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? or shall I drink the blood of goats?
13Μὴ φάγομαι κρέα ταύρων, ἢ αἷμα τράγων πίομαι;
14Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay thy vows to the most High.
14Θῦσον τῷ Θεῷ θυσίαν αἰνέσεως, καὶ ἀπόδος τῷ ὑψίστῳ τὰς εὐχάς σου.
15And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
15Καὶ ἐπικάλεσαί με ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως, καὶ ἐξελοῦμαί σε, καὶ δοξάσεις με. διάψαλμα.
16But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth?
16Τῷ δὲ ἁμαρτωλῷ εἶπεν ὁ Θεὸς, ἱνατί σὺ διηγῇ τὰ δικαιώματά μου, καὶ ἀναλαμβάνεις τὴν διαθήκην μου διὰ στόματός σου;
17Seeing thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee.
17Σὺ δὲ ἐμίσησας παιδείαν, καὶ ἐξέβαλες τοὺς λόγους μου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω.
18If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker.
18Εἰ ἐθεώρεις κλέπτην, συνέτρεχες αὐτῷ, καὶ μετὰ μοιχῶν τὴν μερίδα σου ἐτίθεις.
19Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, and thy tongue framed deceits.
19Τὸ στόμα σου ἐπλεόνασε κακίαν, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσά σου περιέπλεκε δολιότητα.
20Sitting thou didst speak against thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother’s son:
20Καθήμενος κατὰ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου κατελάλεις, καὶ κατὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς μητρός σου ἐτίθεις σκάνδαλον.
21These things hast thou done, and I was silent. Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to thee: but I will reprove thee, and set before thy face.
21Ταῦτα ἐποίησας, καὶ ἐσίγησα, ὑπέλαβες ἀνομίαν ὅτι ἔσομαί σοι ὅμοιος· ἐλέγξω σε, καὶ παραστήσω κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου.
22Understand these things, you that forget God; lest he snatch you away, and there be none to deliver you.
22Σύνετε δὴ ταῦτα οἱ ἐπιλανθανόμενοι τοῦ Θεοῦ, μήποτε ἁρπάσῃ, καὶ μὴ ᾖ ὁ ῥυόμενος.
23The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: and there is the way by which I will shew him the salvation of God.
23Θυσία αἰνέσεως δοξάσει με, καὶ ἐκεῖ ὁδὸς ᾗ δείξω αὐτῷ τὸ σωτήριον Θεοῦ.
