Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ.
1Help, LORD ; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2ΕΩΣ πότε, Κύριε, ἐπιλήσῃ μου εἰς τέλος; ἕως πότε ἀποστρέψεις τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ;
2They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3ἕως τίνος θήσομαι βουλὰς ἐν ψυχῇ μου, ὀδύνας ἐν καρδίᾳ μου ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός; ἕως πότε ὑψωθήσεται ὁ ἐχθρός μου ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ;
3The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4ἐπίβλεψον, εἰσάκουσόν μου, Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου· φώτισον τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου, μήποτε ὑπνώσω εἰς θάνατον,
4Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5μήποτε εἴπῃ ὁ ἐχθρός μου· ἴσχυσα πρὸς αὐτόν· οἱ θλίβοντές με ἀγαλλιάσονται, ἐὰν σαλευθῶ.
5For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD ; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
6ἐγὼ δὲ ἐπὶ τῷ ἐλέει σου ἤλπισα, ἀγαλλιάσεται ἡ καρδία μου ἐπὶ τῷ σωτηρίῳ σου· ᾄσω τῷ Κυρίῳ τῷ εὐεργετήσαντί με καὶ ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου τοῦ Ὑψίστου.
6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
