Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title.
1Εἰς τὸ τέλος· μὴ διαφθείρῃς· τῷ Δαυΐδ εἰς στηλογραφίαν.
2If in very deed you speak justice: judge right things, ye sons of men.
2ΕΙ ΑΛΗΘΩΣ ἄρα δικαιοσύνην λαλεῖτε; εὐθείας κρίνετε οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων;
3For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge injustice in the earth.
3καὶ γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ ἀνομίαν ἐργάζεσθε ἐν τῇ γῇ, ἀδικίαν αἱ χεῖρες ὑμῶν συμπλέκουσιν.
4The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: they have spoken false things.
4ἀπηλλοτριώθησαν οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀπὸ μήτρας, ἐπλανήθησαν ἀπὸ γαστρός, ἐλάλησαν ψευδῆ.
5Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:
5θυμὸς αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὴν ὁμοίωσιν τοῦ ὄφεως, ὡσεὶ ἀσπίδος κωφῆς καὶ βυούσης τὰ ὦτα αὐτῆς,
6Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely.
6ἥτις οὐκ εἰσακούσεται φωνῆς ἐπᾳδόντων, φαρμάκου τε φαρμακευομένου παρὰ σοφοῦ.
7God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions.
7ὁ Θεὸς συντρίψει τοὺς ὀδόντας αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν, τὰς μύλας τῶν λεόντων συνέθλασεν ὁ Κύριος·
8They shall come to nothing, like water running down; he hath bent his bow till they be weakened.
8ἐξουδενωθήσονται ὡσεὶ ὕδωρ διαπορευόμενον· ἐκτενεῖ τὸ τόξον αὐτοῦ ἕως οὗ ἀσθενήσουσιν.
9Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: fire hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun.
9ὡσεὶ κηρὸς τακεὶς ἀνταναιρεθήσονται· ἔπεσε πῦρ ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς, καὶ οὐκ εἶδον τὸν ἥλιον.
10Before your thorns could know the brier; he swalloweth them up, as alive, in his wrath.
10πρὸ τοῦ συνιέναι τὰς ἀκάνθας αὐτῶν τὴν ράμνον, ὡσεὶ ζῶντας, ὡσεὶ ἐν ὀργῇ καταπίεται αὐτούς.
11The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
11εὐφρανθήσεται δίκαιος, ὅταν ἴδῃ ἐκδίκησιν· τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ νίψεται ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ.
12And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth.
12καὶ ἐρεῖ ἄνθρωπος· εἰ ἄρα ἐστὶ καρπὸς τῷ δικαίῳ, ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ Θεὸς κρίνων αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ γῇ.
