King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Have mercy upon us, O Lord God of all, and behold us:
1Τῷ φοβουμένῳ Κύριον οὐκ ἀπαντήσει κακὸν, ἀλλʼ ἐν πειρασμῷ καὶ πάλιν ἐξελεῖται.
2And send thy fear upon all the nations that seek not after thee.
2Ἀνὴρ σοφὸς οὐ μισήσει νόμον, ὁ δὲ ὑποκρινόμενος ἐν αὐτῷ, ὡς ἐν καταιγίδι πλοῖον.
3Lift up thy hand against the strange nations, and let them see thy power.
3Ἄνθρωπος συνετὸς ἐμπιστεύσει νόμῳ, καὶ ὁ νόμος αὐτῷ πιστὸς ὡς ἐρώτημα δικαίων.
4As thou wast sanctified in us before them: so be thou magnified among them before us.
4Ἑτοίμασον λόγον, καὶ οὕτως ἀκουθήσῃ, σύνδησον παιδείαν καὶ ἀποκρίθητι.
5And let them know thee, as we have known thee, that there is no God but only thou, O God.
5Τροχὸς ἁμάξης σπλάγχνα μωροῦ, καὶ ὡς ἄξων στρεφόμενος ὁ διαλογισμὸς αὐτοῦ.
6Shew new signs, and make other strange wonders: glorify thy hand and thy right arm, that they may set forth thy wondrous works.
6Ἵππος εἰς ὀχείαν ὡς φίλος μῶκος, ὑποκάτω παντὸς ἐπικαθημένου χρεμετίζει.
7Raise up indignation, and pour out wrath: take away the adversary, and destroy the enemy.
7Διατί ἡμέρα ἡμέρας ὑπερέχει, καὶ πᾶν φῶς ἡμέρας ἐνιαυτοῦ ἀφʼ ἡλίου;
8Make the time short, remember the covenant, and let them declare thy wonderful works.
8Ἐν γνώσει Κυρίου διεχωρίσθησαν, καὶ ἠλλοίωσε καιροὺς καὶ ἑορτάς·
9Let him that escapeth be consumed by the rage of the fire; and let them perish that oppress the people.
9ἀπʼ αὐτῶν ἀνύψωσε καὶ ἡγίασε, καὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἔθηκεν εἰς ἀριθμὸν ἡμερῶν.
10Smite in sunder the heads of the rulers of the heathen, that say, There is none other but we.
10Καὶ ἄνθρωποι πάντες ἀπὸ ἐδάφους, καὶ ἐκ γῆς ἐκτίσθη Ἀδάμ.
11Gather all the tribes of Jacob together, and inherit thou them, as from the beginning.
11Ἐν πλήθει ἐπιστήμης Κύριος διεχώρισεν αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἠλλοίωσε τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν.
12O Lord, have mercy upon the people that is called by thy name, and upon Israel, whom thou hast named thy firstborn.
12Ἐξ αὐτῶν εὐλόγησε καὶ ἀνύψωσε, καὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἡγίασε, καὶ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἤγγισεν· ἀπʼ αὐτῶν κατηράσατο, καὶ ἐταπείνωσε, καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ στάσεως αὐτῶν.
13O be merciful unto Jerusalem, thy holy city, the place of thy rest.
13Ὡς πηλὸς κεραμέως ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, πᾶσαι αἱ ὁδοὶ αὐτοῦ κατὰ τὴν εὐδοκίαν αὐτοῦ· οὕτως ἄνθρωποι ἐν χειρὶ τοῦ ποιήσαντος αὐτοὺς, ἀποδοῦναι αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν αὐτοῦ.
14Fill Sion with thine unspeakable oracles, and thy people with thy glory:
14Ἀπέναντι τοῦ κακοῦ τὸ ἀγαθὸν, καὶ ἀπέναντι τοῦ θανάτου ἡ ζωὴ, οὕτως ἀπέναντι εὐσεβοῦς ἀμαρτωλός.
15Give testimony unto those that thou hast possessed from the beginning, and raise up prophets that have been in thy name.
15Καὶ οὕτως ἔμβλεψον εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔργα τοῦ ὑψίστου, δύο δύο ἓν κατέναντι τοῦ ἑνός.
16Reward them that wait for thee, and let thy prophets be found faithful.
16Κᾀγὼ ἔσχατος ἠγρύπνησα, καὶ κατεκληρονόμησα αὐτοὺς καθὼς ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς.
17O Lord, hear the prayer of thy servants, according to the blessing of Aaron over thy people, that all they which dwell upon the earth may know that thou art the Lord, the eternal God.
17Ἐλέησον λαὸν, Κύριε, κεκλημένον ἐπʼ ὀνόματί σου, καὶ Ἰσραὴλ ὃν πρωτογόνῳ ὡμοίωσας.
18The belly devoureth all meats, yet is one meat better than another.
18Οἰκτείρησον πόλιν ἁγιάσματός σου Ἱερουσαλὴμ, πόλιν καταπαύματός σου.
19As the palate tasteth divers kinds of venison: so doth an heart of understanding false speeches.
19Πλῆσον Σιὼν ἆραι τὰ λόγιά σου, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς δόξης σου τὸν λαόν σου.
20A froward heart causeth heaviness: but a man of experience will recompense him.
20Δὸς μαρτύριον τοῖς ἐν ἀρχῇ κτίσμασί σου, καὶ ἔγειρον προφητείας τὰς ἐπʼ ὀνόματί σου·
21A woman will receive every man, yet is one daughter better than another.
21δὸς μισθὸν τοῖς ὑπομένουσί σε, καὶ οἱ προφῆταί σου ἐμπιστευθήτωσαν.
22The beauty of a woman cheereth the countenance, and a man loveth nothing better.
22Εἰσάκουσον, Κύριε, δεήσεως τῶν ἱκετῶν σου, κατὰ τὴν εὐλογίαν Ἀαρὼν περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου, καὶ γνώσονται πάντες οἱ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὅτι σὺ Κύριος εἶ ὁ Θεὸς τῶν αἰώνων.
23If there be kindness, meekness, and comfort, in her tongue, then is not her husband like other men.
23Πᾶν βρῶμα φάγεται κοιλία, ἔστι δὲ βρῶμα βρώματος κάλλιον.
24He that getteth a wife beginneth a possession, a help like unto himself, and a pillar of rest.
24Φάρυγξ γεύεται βρώματα θήρας, οὕτως καρδία συνετὴ λόγους ψευδεῖς.
25Where no hedge is, there the possession is spoiled: and he that hath no wife will wander up and down mourning.
25Καρδία στρεβλὴ δώσει λύπην, καὶ ἄνθρωπος πολύπειρος ἀνταποδώσει αὐτῷ.
26Who will trust a thief well appointed, that skippeth from city to city? so who will believe a man that hath no house, and lodgeth wheresoever the night taketh him?
26Πάντα ἄῤῥενα ἐπιδέξεται γυνὴ, ἔστι δὲ θυγάτηρ θυγατρὸς κρείσσων.
