King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Deliver me, O LORD , from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
1Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ. ΚΥΡΙΕ, ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σέ, εἰσάκουσόν μου· πρόσχες τῇ φωνῇ τῆς δεήσεώς μου ἐν τῷ κεκραγέναι με πρὸς σέ.
2Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
2κατευθυνθήτω ἡ προσευχή μου ὡς θυμίαμα ἐνώπιόν σου, ἔπαρσις τῶν χειρῶν μου θυσία ἑσπερινή.
3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah.
3θοῦ, Κύριε, φυλακὴν τῷ στόματί μου καὶ θύραν περιοχῆς περὶ τὰ χείλη μου.
4Keep me, O LORD , from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
4μὴ ἐκκλίνῃς τὴν καρδίαν μου εἰς λόγους πονηρίας τοῦ προφασίζεσθαι προφάσεις ἐν ἁμαρτίαις σὺν ἀνθρώποις ἐργαζομένοις τὴν ἀνομίαν, καὶ οὐ μὴ συνδυάσω μετὰ τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτῶν.
5The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
5παιδεύσει με δίκαιος ἐν ἐλέει καὶ ἐλέγξει με, ἔλαιον δὲ ἁμαρτωλοῦ μὴ λιπανάτω τὴν κεφαλήν μου· ὅτι ἔτι καὶ ἡ προσευχή μου ἐν ταῖς εὐδοκίαις αὐτῶν·
6I said unto the LORD , Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD .
6κατεπόθησαν ἐχόμενα πέτρας οἱ κριταὶ αὐτῶν· ἀκούσονται τὰ ρήματά μου ὅτι ἡδύνθησαν.
7O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
7ὡσεὶ πάχος γῆς ἐρράγη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, διεσκορπίσθη τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῶν παρὰ τὸν ᾅδην.
8Grant not, O LORD , the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
8ὅτι πρὸς σέ, Κύριε, Κύριε, οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου· ἐπὶ σοὶ ἤλπισα, μὴ ἀντανέλῃς τὴν ψυχήν μου.
9As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
9φύλαξόν με ἀπὸ παγίδος, ἧς συνεστήσαντό μοι, καὶ ἀπὸ σκανδάλων τῶν ἐργαζομένων τὴν ἀνομίαν.
10Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
10πεσοῦνται ἐν ἀμφιβλήστρῳ αὐτῶν οἱ ἁμαρτωλοί· κατὰ μόνας εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ἕως ἂν παρέλθω.
11Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him .
