Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
World English Bible
1Συνέσεως τῷ Ἀσάφ. Ἱνατί ἀπόσω ὁ Θεὸς εἰς τέλος; ὠργίσθη ὁ θυμός σου ἐπὶ πρόβατα νομῆς σου;
1Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
2Μνήσθητι τῆς συναγωγῆς σου ἧς ἐκτήσω ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς· ἐλυτρώσω ῥάβδον κληρονομίας σου· ὄρος Σιὼν τοῦτο ὃ κατεσκήνωσας ἐν αὐτῷ.
2But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.
3Ἔπαρον τὰς χεῖράς σου ἐπὶ τὰς ὑπερηφανίας αὐτῶν εἰς τέλος· ὅσα ἐπονηρεύσατο ὁ ἐχθρὸς ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις σου.
3For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4Καὶ ἐνεκαυχήσαντο οἱ μισοῦντές σε ἐν μέσῳ τῆς ἑορτῆς σου·
4For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.
5ἔθεντο τὰ σημεῖα αὐτῶν σημεῖα, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν, ὡς εἰς τὴν εἴσοδον ὑπεράνω· ὡς ἐν δρυμῷ ξύλων ἀξίναις ἐξέκοψαν
5They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.
6τὰς θύρας αὐτῆς ἐπιτοαυτὸ, ἐν πελέκει καὶ λαξευτηρίῳ κατέῤῥαξαν αὐτήν.
6Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.
7Ἐνεπύρισαν ἐν πυρὶ τὸ ἁγιαστήριόν σου εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἐβεβήλωσαν τὸ σκήνωμα τοῦ ὀνόματός σου.
7Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.
8Εἶπαν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν, ἡ συγγένεια αὐτῶν ἐπιτοαυτὸ, δεῦτε, καταπαύσωμεν τὰς ἑορτὰς Κυρίου ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς.
8They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.
9Τὰ σημεῖα ἡμῶν οὐκ εἴδομεν, οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι προφήτης, καὶ ἡμᾶς οὐ γνώσεται ἔτι.
9They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.
10Ἕως πότε ὁ Θεὸς, ὀνειδιεῖ ὁ ἐχθρὸς, παροξυνεῖ ὁ ὑπεναντίος τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τέλος;
10Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.
11Ἱνατί ἀποστρέφεις τὴν χεῖρά σου, καὶ τὴν δεξιάν σου ἐκ μέσου τοῦ κόλπου σου εἰς τέλος;
11They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12Ὁ δὲ Θεὸς βασιλεὺς ἡμῶν πρὸ αἰῶνος, εἰργάσατο σωτηρίαν ἐν μέσῳ τῆς γῆς.
12Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.
13Σὺ ἐκραταίωσας ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου τὴν θάλασσαν, σὺ συνέτριψας τὰς κεφαλὰς τῶν δρακόντων ἐπὶ τοῦ ὕδατος. Σὺ συνέτριψας τὰς κεφαλὰς τοῦ δράκοντος,
13Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence,
14ἔδωκας αὐτὸν βρῶμα λαοῖς τοῖς Αἰθίοψι.
14For all day long I have been plagued, and punished every morning.
15Σὺ διέῤῥηξας πηγὰς καὶ χειμάῤῥους, σὺ ἐξήρανας ποταμοὺς ἠθάμ.
15If I had said, “I will speak thus”, behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.
16Σή ἐστιν ἡ ἡμέρα, καὶ σή ἐστιν ἡ νὺξ, σὺ κατηρτίσω ἥλιον καὶ σελήνην.
16When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—
17Σὺ ἐποίησας πάντα τὰ ὅρια τῆς γῆς, θέρος καὶ ἔαρ σὺ ἐποίησας.
17until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.
18Μνήσθητι ταύτης τῆς κτίσεώς σου· ἐχθρὸς ὠνείδισε τὸν Κύριον, καὶ λαὸς ἄφρων παρώξυνε τὸ ὄνομά σου.
18Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.
19Μὴ παραδῷς τοῖς θηρίοις ψυχὴν ἐξομολογουμένην σοι, τῶν ψυχῶν τῶν πενήτων σου μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ εἰς τέλος.
19How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.
20Ἐπίβλεψον εἰς τὴν διαθήκην σου, ὅτι ἐπληρωθήσαν οἱ ἐσκοτωμένοι τῆς γῆς οἴκων ἀνομιῶν.
20As a dream when one wakes up, so, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
21Μὴ ἀποστραφήτω τεταπεινωμένος καὶ κατῃσχυμμένος, πτωχὸς καὶ πένης αἰνέσουσι τὸ ὄνομά σου.
21For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.
22Ἀνάστα ὁ Θεὸς, δίκασον τὴν δίκην σου, μνήσθητι τῶν ὀνειδισμῶν σου τῶν ὑπὸ ἄφρονος ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν.
22I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.
23Μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ τῆς φωνῆς τῶν ἱκετῶν σου, ἡ ὑπερηφανία τῶν μισούντων σε ἀναβαίη διαπαντὸς πρὸς σέ.
23Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.
